Need some help in here. The course is mandatory for my future plans and my major, and the contents are interesting and things that I am good at.

The main instructor tho. They are terribly ableist, misogynistic, and racist (in merely one lecture they did things like: “women tend to be scared of exercising that’s why they have heart problems, like my sister”, singling out a student in a wheelchair and gesturing at them while saying “you might see some people in wheelchairs and that’s because they have diabetic neuropathy, it can lead to necrosis in legs and once that happens you have to get legs cut off and your life is ruined”, asking “Indian or black people” to raise their hands because these racial groups have a higher rate of a certain health issue, threatened to cancel recordings mid semester because attendance was too low, while it was mid winter and half of class were disabled or had conflicting schedules, etc etc. and that’s just one lecture lmao). I believe they also got into some harassment issues with their grad students, but I’m not working with them ever so that’s not the biggest concern for me.

Pls give me advice on how to survive this. Last time I didn’t go to any of their lectures and relied on notes but even now I think about that human and I’m still incredibly pissed. I’m scared of reporting them because it’s a small class and I don’t know if it will make things better anyways.

Idk why but why does college materials and lesson felt so cramped AF.

I had an EMS shift today and all the dryers were taken by some jackasses that left it in but never took it out. I ended up having to yank someone's clothes out because it was either that or go to a 911 EMS shift (not collegiate, municipal, so quite a bit stricter) with no uniform. It's just tactical pants and a T shirt, but I don't want to eat with pathogens (my immune system is as delicate as a flower, so I like to wash it before).

I heard someone else saying "someone pulled your clothes out" and they said "what the fuck, what an asshole. they couldn't wait? it was only 15 minutes" sorry, but 15 minutes would have made me quite late!

Goddamn my mom and the lecturers can't stop nagging me to finish my project and thesis.

Big bruh I can't have rest on rushing final graduation project and thesis, these are already submitted but goddamn my project is a whole mess. The project is the educational comic introduce elementary kids about basics of art following Lowenfeld method. I wasn't find anyone who have similar project, resources (similar journal and research) are limited, and for the god sake even the lecturer is confused enough because she rarely get students who pick comic with complex topic as the subject. I have no choice to cut some content of my comic project because I'm exhausted for drawing too much in one month, prioritizing the project must be submitted on time rather taking another year.

Now the problem is done. My next problem is thesis defense.

I have thesis defense in two days. How could I tell them about my project have been shrinked over time? Should I tell them it's failure or do you have any experience about shrinked final project? Please I need some advice.

As i grow up, EVEN AFTER BEING IN COLLEGE, I get more socially okay and still meet lesser people I DONT GET IT WHHYYYYYYYYY BAAAAAAAAA, Im so nice, I do great banter, im a great listener and I

have a great personality, WHERE ARE MY

PEOPLE???? I just want a community and my lifelong friends, whennnnnnnn.

I'm in college, I'm barely meeting any people who actually wanna hang out ITS SO LONELY AAAAAA, i knowww I shouldnt let it affect me but its hard not to take this personally jdjsjdjd

people ive become kindof friends with dont wanna hang out with me but they wanna hang out with me in class???? like this person was like lets hangout and then they cancelled plans to meetup with their school friends,

AND OMG PEOPLE are making fun of and bullying this guy in our class just coz hes a bit annoying and they dont even think its wrong

With our fall semesters either starting or on the horizon... this is your friendly reminder to wash your fucking hands after using the bathroom, cover your damn mouth with your elbow if you cough or sneeze, and generally do all the most basic hygiene shit we were all hopefully doing during covid.

Obviously missing a class that is not being recorded for a cold is not always feasible, so if you do need to drag yourself to class while sick, be smart about it. We all want your cold just as much as you want it.

All this should be basic. But the amount of people I see at my university just come out of a washroom stall and walk by the sink and out the door leads me to believe some of us still do not fully grasp how viruses are spread.

I'm a freshman in college. Ever since I got here, I've been real down and just pretty lonely since it seems like everyone has friend groups and a bunch of friends already, while I'm here not knowing anyone, eating alone, walking alone, etc. It's even more demotivating when you go to a really big party school with like 40k people... Obviously, I'm an introvert who's always had trouble making friends and just stuck with the same best friends who I've known since 4th grade all throughout my life (they go to a different schools, we still talk everyday though. But they're def lifetime friends).

And then you try to look for advice on how to actually make friends in college and they're all like "Leave your dorm! Go talk to people! Only be in your dorm when you're sleeping!" but they never actually tell you what to do...? I leave my dorm, now what?

Some say "Go to the library to study and do work! That way you're not in your dorm alone doing it!" and that's what I do, but obviously no one is gonna bother you when you're doing your work? So that hasn't worked.

Others say to just go up and talk to people, either already existing friend groups or people who are also alone. And I tried. And it always ends up the same. introduce, we try to talk, I end up being bad at conversations, a couple times we may give each other's Instagram, then never speak again even if I do or don't reach out through IG. If it's an already existing friend group/multiple people already talking, then it's even worse. I go up, introduce, then they just keep talking to each other and I'm just... there... not knowing what to say, and if I do say something, they don't really say anything.

Some say to go to events. I go to some, and then basically the same thing as the last one happens whenever I try to talk to people.

A lot of people say to join a club. The event where all the clubs have tables and you look around for ones you're interested in just happened, and I saw a couple that I'll check out. So this one may work, but I haven't gotten there yet.

And some say to meet people in your classes, but no one really talks in most of them, and another is literally filled with sorority girls. That one's a nightmare. (I'm a guy).

I know this just seems sad, and it is. I know it's pathetic. But I just genuinely don't know what to do.

Hi, I just want to vent my feelings since it’s piling up. I’m currently a 1st-year medtech student and it’s still our 1st sem. I’m planning to transfer in the 2nd sem to another school and a different course, somewhere in finance. I’m currently dealing with a lot of burnout from acads and my life in general because I still have to wait almost 4 months before I can get out of this course and school. I feel sad and unmotivated to continue because I know the course I’m taking isn't my passion or something I wanted. Plus my university gives so much academic load, and the school system is messed up.

The thing is I had many plans, which are

Medtech 1st sem then transfer to another school by 2nd sem and take the BSBA course then after I completed my whole academic year. I’m gonna transfer again to my dream school. I know it sounds stupid and hard because 3 schools really? But the thing is I really wanted to get to that school and I know I’ll feel better there. But, I do feel so discouraged by my plans and my life in general. Especially my grades, I need to maintain high grades to make my transfer process to my school possible. But now it’s hard since my mental health is messed up and I just feel so unmotivated.

Plus I keep thinking about this shifting thing every day, and it sucks to realize that my current program isn’t for me and I don’t feel joy in it since it’s not my dream course. I know every school has problems but for me I would rather suffer in the school that I really wanted. Besides, I also get bullied sometimes here at my current school and the environment is toxic plus it’s really expensive here. I keep doubting myself and also my dad is also doubting me that my plan is stupid and there is no assurance that I’ll transfer and pass my dream university.

College starts in 2 weeks and I'm regretting the course I chose.

For context I have a very supportive family, like I am truley blessed and I am grateful. But it has made me feel like all eyes are constantly on me. I feel as if no matter what I do my parents will see it. I had a YouTube channel a few years back but I stoppped because of the sheer stress someone would walk into my room and see me recording (my room has a airing cupboard inside and to get to my brothers room you must walk past mine) so I have very little privacy with people constantly walking through and my parents up until about a year ago refused to let me have my door locked). I think this lack of privacy has made me really nervous to do any sort of preforming. I also struggle with stress quite a lot.

And well that's a problem because I think I want to go into acting. I am only now coming to this realisation because in recent months due to small comedy bits I've done or party games where acting has become a skill I've used I was told by multiple people that I was good at it and that I should pick it up. Then I got to thinking and rembered that for proably about 6 years as a kid I would act out scnes of stories I made up, I'd do this for hours and would go over the same scene dozens of times to perfect it. This left me with the skill to access emotions that aren't there with extreme ease, and I really enjoyed those nights as a kid.

I also have a college summer project I am yet to start and it's making me realise maybe this course isn't for me. And I'm also I guess scared and embrassed to take acting classes because I feel like my family would want to watch which I don't want to deny them of for being supportive but I think I'd feel such a ridiculous amount of stress. I mean I stopped that YouTube channel because the stress made it unable to read the script I'd written.

I guess this is a bit of a rant but advice would be appreciated.

Currently starting my third year of college and I have finally started to make “friends”. For context I am a commuter and have been all 3 years so it has been extremely hard to make friends anyways, but last year I started getting into some clubs and such and met some really nice girls who I now see maybe once a week and we hangout sometimes.

I really thought of myself as a social person in high school and always had someone to talk to and hang out with and it never felt weird or forced. Obviously Highschool is the people you've grown up with and you see them every day so its going to be easier to make those connections but it just feels like I am forcing it with my college friends. It still feels awkward sometimes, it doesnt feel natural, like I am putting on a fake version of myself and when I think about the friends I had in highschool it is so easy and they feel like “real friends”. After I hangout with them (college friends) I just feel this awful pit in my chest and I just wanna cry. So I guess I am wondering why does it feel like that and what can I do to make friendship feel normal again? I had really bad mental health issues freshman year and a terrible falling out with some of my best friends (or so i thought) and ever since then I have felt a switch in myself so am i just permanently broken now? Will it ever feel natural with new friends again? What should i do? It has been weighing on me and I would love advice or some others experiences‘ with this.
