For those who have graduated from uni, realistically what's the difference between having "good" grades and just passing if all you're going for is a bachelors?
I'm working towards becoming a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep, and ever since I got accepted into a fairly prestigious Uni, and then it's Biochemistry department I've just...not given a shit about my grades. Talked to counselors and even they tell me none of my employers have to see my grades if I just don't include it in my resume.
It's just a little demoralizing....

They don't have to see your grades but if you graduate with honors that is a bonus. Also don't think of it only as "how will this look to employeers" but also as "how will this prepare me for a future career"

I agree with this. Graduating from a well known school is probably the main point, but if you can add "Graduated cum laude" or whatever to your resume that's just icing.
>>17214441
I don't quite see the difference. I don't plan on changing my career, and promotions/more money will just come with greater experience and my own accomplishments as a sales rep.
Perhaps this is just the case for myself, but I feel like it's the same for other jobs as well. Teachers for example I'm sure are not treated differently depending on their grades.
What do you do if you call a girl and she blows you off?
The first time I called she seemed pretty into it and we set up a date. I got busy so we cancelled and left it for a few weeks. Then I called again and she basically tried to hang up as soon as possible. It hurt.
When is it too early to call again? Or is it too late, and should I give up?
>>17214422
>and left it for a few weeks
That seems like a long time. Was she aware you'd be leaving it that long? It sounds like she's over it and not interested anymore.
Been there. Actually, AM there. I don't want to tell you to give up because I wouldn't want to hear that right now.. but your time is running out if it isn't already.
It's been almost two months and we haven't even spoke.. she just watches all my snapchat stories and favorites my tweets
>>17214431
>>17214436
>Was she aware you'd be leaving it that long? I
Nah, that was a fatal mistake. I should've said something.
Do you think the interest can come back? Or am I just gonna be that creepy stranger if I keep calling?
I don't understand people man, why are there time limits on these things?
The woman that I'm currently attracted to and want to make my girlfriend it a massive slut, and there is no way around this. I don't fuck around with casual sex or frivolous relationships, and I know when I have a connection with a woman that will lead to a long term relationship.
How am I supposed to reconcile her slutiness with my desire to be the man in her life? I feel like I'm only setting myself up for something horrible.
possibly you're going to need to get to know the sexual health clinic really well
>>17214406
That's one of my biggest concerns honestly. Fuck, I just know I'm going to have to undergo so much bullshit just to get this woman into my life and honestly, it makes me mad. In addition to going through all this medical shit, I'm going to have to dedicate literally all of my effort into breaking her sexually so she doesn't want to fuck anyone else but me.
Right,
CAN /ADV/ TELL ME WHAT THIS IS?! IT REEKS LIKE SHIT AND IT'S RUINING THE CARPET HELP
>>17214295
Take a closer and better picture.
>>17214295
Looks like shit, boss. That or someone has been ejaculating in that exact spot for months.
>>17214295
It's shit OP
Girl i was dating just cuts off all contact with me. We would always text each other, Staying up all night talking, checking up on each other and i really thought she was someone i could have a serious relationship with. Then she justs stops and i can't get a hold of her. I don't understand.

Jock itch is caused by a fungi, you should take a bath with epsom salts and lemon juice
18 years old, enrolling to a new high school to do my senior year, except this high school is extremely dero, kids don't care about learning, sluts caking themselves, 14 year olds acting like lads, teachers impose a fixed mindset - Should I be worried? I like school but i'm worried that my average will be dragged down by those kids. Also, this school seems to have such a high concentration of dipshittery that I'm worried that there won't be that one group of kissless virgin/autists I can befriend to help scale my grades up towards outlier territory. What do?
what?
it's your senior year, who the fuck gives a shit what the school is like. shouldn't you be more worried about college?
stop being a faggot
>>17214153
>seeking out the autists and losers to hang with
Haha what
Any medfags around? I took some blunt force to the chest at work on Monday and this is the aftermath. Its not even painful, its numb and itchy at this point. Do I seek medical attention or should I be ok?
>>17214128
Did you report this to your supervisor? Yes, seek medical attention.
>>17214130
Yeah, we filed an incedent report. All those bases have been covered.
you're bleeding internally idiot go to the hospital
How do I get over my anxiousness at the gym. When I go, I'll do my workout that my /fit/ friend wrote up for me but I feel very self conscious when I'm besides a guy who is benching more than I weigh.
He doesn't care. He's to busy lifting to make fun of you. If anything hes glad more people are trying to stay in shape.
If he actually thinks otherwise, he is an asshole, and it is legally acceptable to punch assholes in the face.
>>17214085
Lol dude I can't even bench the bar for more than 10 seconds
no one cares about you dude
literally
you know why gyms are wall-to-wall in mirrors? it's to look at yourself. people are way too busy dealing with their reps or looking at themselves in the mirror to notice the guy benching 5s
Last night I learned from my girlfriend that her ex was an abusive piece of trash. He forced himself on her several times. There was a time that they thought she was pregnant- She wasn't. She then said she wanted to break up and he beat the hell out of her.
She might not be able to have children.
She didn't tell anyone but me and another ex. I want this guy in prison or dead but I have no name and no real evidence. If I found out other exes of his that had similar experiences would there be a chance of putting this guy behind bars?
What the fuck do I do...
>>17214043
How long have you dated your girlfriend?
>>17214043
>If I found out other exes of his that had similar experiences would there be a chance of putting this guy behind bars?
yes
>What the fuck do I do...
get name, stake him out, beat him with a crowbar when he's coming home from work, feel satisfied.
>>17214043
If she didn't go to the police herself, it's because she was scared of him or the justice system, and doesn't want to relive it. I know it's bullshit but you're gonna have to let it go, and hope she heals. Doing anything to him might make her fear retaliation.
How do I tell my gf I don't plan on marrying her, while still being able to have sex with her?
I been dating my GF for a while and the past 2 years, she's been asking when we'll get married.
I have no intention of marrying her and I'll leave her once something better comes along since she's getting old.
But she's now at the point where she's asking me DAILY if we're ever going to get married. She cried to me last night saying I'm just using her.
I been telling her "soon" but I think the jig is...

>dating a girl for two years
>NOTHING better has come along
Sounds like you need to be realistic about your opportunities, old man.
Leave her if you do not love her.
Its cruel to string her along.
>>17214011
How old are you and how old is she?
I've found out that most of the issues that I seem to have are due to my lack of confidence. Few friends, never been in a relationship, never had sex/kissed/etc, bad at talking to people, so on. I don't have a lot of reasons to be unconfident other than those items. I'm not too terribly ugly, and I'm pretty good at guitar/music, and I can be pretty funny sometimes when I'm talking to someone I know and trust. I think part of the reason for it is because (long story short) I really embarrassed myself in front of someone on my Freshman year of high school...

This sounds like shitty advice, but its a hard concept to put on paper.
Basically, fake it until you make it. Pretend your confident and eventually you will be.
It helps to be a little arrogant too. Unusually, it seems people rather like someone who is mildly arrogant.
>>17214038
I've pretended to be confident for a while t b h.
>>17214038
This is good.
If you fake it enough it'll eventually come naturally to you.
As for the regret or shame you feel for the past event, just think of it as a learning experience. It taught you something new or warned you about something to watch out for and you've grown from it. You should look back and know that you've changed since whatever it was that happened. Plus, I'm sure no one else even remembers it.
Sup, /adv/.
My first annual review is coming up in a few months and I have been wondering about what would be a reasonable number to suggest.
My first year was 60k pre tax, which is a 2-5k lower than typical starting point in the industry.
I am thinking about asking for 70k and if asked for reasoning mention the lower starting salary and say that I feel that I do my job well.
Is that too much of a jump? Is the reasoning legit?
it doesnt matter if its a big jump or whether the reasoning is legit
do it, they'll probably give you a compromise raise after negotiating.
>>17214004
Have you achieved measurable results?
Will you mention the pre-tax salary was low for the industry?
Have you thundercocked the boss' wife in preparation for cucking his bank account?
>>17214004
This argument alone is probably not sufficient. Your employer likely knows they are paying you below industry average. They are going to ask about what you've done beyond your current job expectations. Then they will want to know the results and why those justify the raise. Also asking for a $10k raise after one year of employment is farfetched. You will be super lucky to get a 5% cost of living salary increase. I have been an engineer for 8 years and manager for 3 years. This seems to be pretty standard practice...

Everyday I sit in my apartment, hoping my ex will burn in a fire. I wish nothing but the worst for her. I hate everyone who can just go out and freely have options in their lives while I'm stuck taking what I can get in my shitty situation. I want to watch the world burn. Fuck everything.
You should get a membership to bangbros. I personally like ass parade
Coincidentally, that's just how your ex wants you to feel.
Seek the Lord, and read his word.
