I’m interested to see what other FTM folks are pursuing career and education wise. I know some of us go into trans related fields, others are blue collar and many are artists.

So what are you pursuing?

Personally I’m studying history with a speciality in global environmental history!

One of the most covered unsolved cases in a college town, the disappearance of Lauren Spierer at Indiana University is still cold 10 years later.

Lauren Spierer was a junior at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, studying apparel merchandising in 2011. A native of Scarsdale, New York, Lauren had a tight group of friends on and off campus. That makes her now-10-year disappearance even more baffling.

Lauren's case has received a lot of media attention since she went missing, including national coverage from the likes of Nancy Grace and People Magazine. But there are still so many unresolved questions from that night, including the biggest—where is Lauren?

The day Lauren went missing. On the late evening of June 2nd, 2011, Lauren was seen leaving her apartment with a friend, David Rohn. The two went to another mutual friend’s apartment, Jay Rosenbaum. Lauren, David and Jay had plans to meet up with Jay’s neighbor, Corey Rossman. There were approximately 10 people at Corey’s apartment with reports of heavy drinking and drug use. By midnight, David heads back to his apartment at Smallwoods Plaza and per surveillance footage, he isn’t seen leaving the apartment again around 11AM the next morning.

By 1:46AM, Lauren goes to Kilroy Sports Bar and is later seen leaving the bar with Corey Rossman by 2:27AM. Lauren leaves behind her shoes at the bar because the bar has a sand- covered patio. After leaving the bar, there is a lot of back and forth from various friends homes before she is last seen:

• By 2:30AM Lauren and Corey are seen at Smallwood Plaza but are confronted by Zach Oates, and 3 others who are concerned about Lauren. Zach Oates and Corey have a verbal altercation before Zach punches Corey in the face. 
• Lauren and Corey leave Smallwood Plaza. A security camera shows Laurnen and Corey exiting the alley near Smallwood at 2:51AM and walking toward the 5 North Townhomes–where mutual friends live.
• When they re

Conclusion: "These sound very weird... Americans..."-my mom

this is what the article says, i copied and pasted random parts

One of Cambridge University’s last all-female colleges is set to introduce fertility seminars to teach women to start planning to have children by their mid-thirties or risk “forgetting to have a baby”.

Murray Edwards College will teach the classes alongside consent and sexual harassment classes this term, reported The Sunday Times.

He said that women who want more than one child should start trying to conceive before they turn 30. For example, women who want two children should start trying to conceive at the age of 28, while those who want three children “probably have to start trying when you’re 23”.

“Young women are being taught that they all have to do well in school, get a degree, be successful in their career, and be beautiful,” she said.

“The thing that is getting lost along the way is that you forget to have a baby, which I nearly did.”

EDIT: I should’ve specified made up university, y’all really committed to some colleges, smh. No imagination.

I've heard a lot of people said it's cheaper to go this route, especially in the first two years when you mostly take gen ed classes. So why not many people do it when uni prices are ridiculously high these days?

Well, it’s me again. It was great to talk to everyone last time I posted and I’m so glad there’s a supportive community out there. I sure need it right now. I feel incredibly overwhelmed - I never realized just how small my world was. I’ve never been further than an hour’s drive from home and now I’m in another state surrounded by more people than I’ve ever seen in my life. I don’t even know where to start.

Leaving home was pretty rough on its own, to say nothing of the grief my family put me through. I told them that I was going to college a couple weeks in advance of the move-in date. I sort of had to. My boyfriend’s disappearance had thrown my mother into a frenzy. I didn’t tell anyone what I saw in the woods. I told Tyler about the shulikun but not about Krampus.

He thinks it’ll be fine in the end. The campground isn’t open during the Christmas season, after all, because no one wants to camp in the snow. He’s only got his staff to worry about and he doesn’t think the shulikun will actually be drowning anyone. They didn’t carry through with their threat, after all. They might have free run of the campground now, but that puts them under the jurisdiction of the Lady, and Kate had enough bad run-ins with the shulikun while she was human that he doesn’t think she’ll let them get away with much.

He doesn’t think anything that the lake could attract could get away with much. There’s an ancient in charge of the campground now, after all.

I hope he’s right. Lakes are dangerous and Kate probably isn’t going to be happy to have to deal with that. She really can’t catch a break, can she, either as a human or as an ancient.

But that’s not my problem. No, my problem was my family being shitty to me. I blurted it out one evening when mom was in a frenzy about what I was going to do about my future if my ex-boyfriend didn’t come back. So I was like hey, I DO have a plan, I’m going to college, you don’t need to keep freaking out about me. Ooof, big mistake.

My mom was upset but she was worried and that’s not quite the same as being mean. It still sucked to deal with. I was already nervous enough about uprooting my whole life and having to reassure my mom on top of it - instead of the other way around - was kind of a lot. I suppose she’s afraid I’ll go away and not come back like dad did and that’s traumatizing, but yanno, I lost my dad. It’s not like

Ready ako ma-downvote para rito. Pero para sainyo ito:

UP - Marami ka matutunan, may kupal na profs pero may mga maayos din, libre tuition (4 years + 1 year free tuition) pero mental health mo bayad. Mahirap magenroll ng units. Pero worth it kapag gumraduate ka rito, I swear.

PUP - 12 php per unit (you read that right), pero free tuition for 4 years, UNLESS may 3 subjects ka na bagsak or else good bye free tuition ka na. Pwede online or modular.

PNU - For teachers pero may other courses din. Free tuition dito. EDIT ADD: Meron pala rito bachelors + master agad. 5 years lang.

TUP, RTU, PLM = Apply kayo rito free tuition. Maayos dito. (Edit: Tinanggal ko TIP, private U pala siya. Sorry for the confusion)

TIP - min. 30-40k per sem

LPU - Focus nila rito Tourism. Min. 40k per sem (2 sems). May other courses btw!

May dahilan bakit big 4 ang: UP, ADMU, DLSU, UST. I suggest dito kayo mag-apply.

I have never understood why scholarships are offered to student athletes. Especially publicly funded colleges and universities. I do understand the relationship between sport and education and would not object to my tax dollars supporting intramural sport. But, why are my tax dollars supporting athletic scholarships?

Of course one can argue that division 1 sports make money for universities but not all publicly funded colleges are division 1 schools. Nor do all college sports make money for the university. So why do my tax dollars have to support these programs?

I say get rid of college sports other then intramural and use public funds to support research and the education of the best and brightest students who need the assistance.

Edit: linked this article. It is an interesting read.

Another interesting article about football in Michigan. It includes some division 2 schools.

While reading through comments. Some things open for discussion.

1. Some claim that all athletic scholarships are funded by endowments only. I have seen no evidence that this is true.

2. Something I truly did not understand is how little some public universities are actually funded by tax dollars. This is true for some, but there is no rule. So if a public university takes no public money, then sure, the taxpayer doesn't fund anything at that university, including sport scholarships. I stand corrected on that point.

Original: I submitted the wrong essay

I was just minding my own business at my house when I got an email from my counselor saying she submitted my transcripts and stuff and I was all set to go. I went to check Common App just to make sure everything was done and was like re-reading my essays because I was bored and everything. For Indiana we had to submit a PDF for the supplementary essay instead of just typing it down in a textbox like most of the Common App schools. So like I download it and click on the PDF and it's a fucking Martha Stewart cookbook PDF, I don't know how the fuck I messed up this bad but I can't ago back and change it. IU was essay optional anyways so hopefully they don't hold it against me, but it would suck getting rejected from one of my safety schools because I submitted a cookbook instead of my supplement essay.

Edit: So quick update: I am going to contact my AO but there is one little issue, I can't find the actual essay I wrote (oopsie). Turns out naming everything "Untitled Document(x)" isn't the best way to stay organized, so for now Martha Stewart cookbook it is.

Update: Martha Stewart cookbook got me into college

IU sent me my acceptance letter last night thought I should give an update. I didn't end up emailing the AOs my actual supplement essay because a) I couldn't find it and b) I was too lazy to write a new one. For anyone wondering the cookbook was called "The Martha Stewart Cookbook: Collected Recipes for Every Day" and honestly some of the recipes in it slap.

Long story short I have the option to go to either St. Joes in Patchogue or St. John’s. I’m trying to make the right decision and it’s so hard ughh. St. Joes gave me a really good scholarship and is a really good school for education (I’m studying to be a teacher) However St. John’s is more known, more diverse, more of a college experience, but lots more money. I feel so torn any help!

Hi everyone, I was accepted to the MSc in Software Development at the University of Glasgow and the MSc in Advanced Computing at King's College. Both programs are the ones I want. Since King's College requires a TOEFL score of 100 (I got 98 on TOEFL), I will have to take the TOEFL test again. Also, King's College tuition is £5000 more and Glasgow also gave me £10000 scholarship. Studying in Glasgow will be £15000 cheaper. When I look at the world university rankings, Glasgow is around 60-70, while King's College is around 35. Do you think it is worth paying that much difference and studying at King's College?

A decent college with an okay ranking (100-150) and almost no prestige or a very good university with a lot of prestige (top 3 in the unites states for my major, that is CS). Which one should I pick? I can't afford the latter and would have to take a minimum $150,000 loan.

EDIT: I have a 60% scholarship at the decent college + financial aid

They wrote on the form that they will NOT be accepting any requests for any schools not already listed. I wish they were just honest that this was just some kind of publicity stunt or a way for them to convince new people to apply based on bogus promises then I wouldn't have gotten my hopes up.

hi!

You know what to do.

So in high school, many teachers tell their students about how many college professors don't actually teach their classes, but rather just give assignments and grade them accordingly (that's IF they don't use a blackboard style site that grades automatically). Considering the astronomical costs to attend college in the US, I expect more than just a professor coming into class and staring blankly at their phone for an hour then say "ok so your assignments are posted due X date."

This would not have been as severe of an issue 40+ years ago when school was actually affordable, but given the stakes of today's degree programs, I think professors that follow this do nothing model should be fired. I'm not spending 10k on your class to have to teach myself the subject because you're too lazy and can't be bothered. Teach your class, answer questions, go over practice assignments, give experimental demonstrations and do your damn job.

I am currently a Grade 12 senior high school student who wants to apply for a university/college. My grades were awful during my Grade 10 and Grade 11 years. Siguro my average during these two years were 80 due to my rampant absences. Yes, that's how disastrous it was.

This year, my first quarter average was 90 something so I got included in honors. Yet, I can't help but seem to worry that most universities or college require Grade 9-Grade 11 report cards.

I heard there is usually an entrance exam when applying to a certain university, so hopefully there is a slim chance of me getting admitted to that university, but if it's a system of averaging your JHS years, I feel like I have no hope at all.

Will this affect my chances in applying to a university/college? What universities/college should I apply? Suppose there is an entrance exam, what if I pass the entrance exam but yet disastrous sa report cards?

As the title says, I'm currently enrolled in a university program and I'm on year 2 out of 4, however I also found a 2 year course at a college that I want to attend. Can I do both at the same time?

We know Peter is working on his GED so presumably, he isn't yet done with his education despite the spell. At the same time, it's unlikely he's going to MIT or any high-level college now.

So I think if the next trilogy brings in the idea of college, I think Empire State being a low-level community college could work. "Low-level" is the key here, something low enough and lacking in reputation that it'd be willing to admit Peter.

I think Peter going to a community college is a good way of keeping the character down to Earth and close to home. I love the idea of the next trilogy emphasizing Peter's dynamic with New York and its people, and I think going to a community college would be a good way to do so, as well as a cool way to bring in a new supporting cast for the character.

And I do think it adds a relatability to the character now that students/citizens going to community colleges has become more normalized in the modern-day

Oh my god! I just now got my acceptance letter from UMD. It's my first acceptance which came in after a long season of submitting applications. I know how nerve-wracking this period could be.
Stay strong my queens, good things do happen
I am looking forward to hearing from my ambitious schools in the coming months.
We are all in this together!!!!

Hi everyone, I created this account so I could make this post. I'm currently going to high school on Oahu. Recently, I've been thinking about not going to college. I don't really know which factors need to be taken into consideration when making that decision, what planning would need to be done, and so on. I'm very passionate about natural resource management. Could I realistically move out after I graduate, get a job in that field without a college education, and live comfortably? Perhaps this is either naive or too much to ask for, but my idea of a comfortable lifestyle is being able to read, paddle, and hike. Is this the fanciful dream of a kid who doesn't know enough about the adult world? Thanks to those who respond!

Edit: I elaborate on my current thinking in the responses, sorry for not putting that stuff in the original post

Edit 2: I thought I was gonna get no more than 1 response lol. Not leaving the comments, just wanted to say thanks for everything posted so far

Edit 3: Going to bed early because I have stuff to do in the morning, thanks everyone who responded! There's a lot of really great info in this thread. There are quite a few things I will be looking into. I hope you're all doing well in life. I'll be back tomorrow
