Can someone verify that I'm calculating my future GPA correctly?
I am on the low A range in 3 of my classes with a guaranteed A in the 4th.
My school does it by GPA points, which is found by multiplying the units of the class x however many GPA points earned.
For example, an 'A' is 4 gpa points. But if its a 4 unit class, you'll get 16 points.
if it was a 1 unit class, you'd get 4.
a 3 is worth 3 points. So if I get an A in a 3 unit class thats 12 points. I hope that is a good explanation.
Anyways, for my question:
I have 175 GPA points with 50 units done.
so 175/50 = 3.5 which is what my transcript shows.
Right now, I'm in TWO 4 unit classes, and TWO three unit classes.
I will have a guaranteed A in a 4 unit class. That is 16 points.
But let's say I get B's in the other 3. That would mean the GPA points awarded for those would be 12, 9 and 9.
So all together I would get 16 + 12 + 9 + 9 for this semester, which is 46. Adding that to my points thus far, 175 + 46 = 221. Now to find the future GPA, I divide 221 by 60, since that is how many units i'll have completed.
That is 3.68.
So, would that be right? I feel like it is wrong, how would my GPA jump almost 2 points from just one semester? Or am I just not seeing something. I just want to be safe and know my GPA if shit hits the fan.
Please /sci/ im dying of stress

then get better grades or pick a different career path
nothing that measures your worth by grade alone is worth your time as a rational human being
>>17184803
I just wanted to verify that my calculations are correct. My grades are good. It is important for me to maintain a minimum gpa of 3.5 so UCI doesn't rescind my acceptance.
I have to go for a job trial this Saturday and I was wondering if there was any advice you people could give me to make sure I get it.
>>17184800
Be relaxed.
>>17184800
Aside from the normal?
Show up 15 min early
Don't dress like a fucking Mook
Don't chew gum
Speak clearly
Know your shit
Don't be a showoff
Wear the right clothing
Have your resume and letters of reference in order
Don't slouch
Make eye contact
There's no magic trick. Just don't look like a fucking bum, don't talk like you're from the street, and carry yourself with some dignity
>>17184800
Show up.
Be prepared to work (If it's physical labor, wear work clother; if an office, clean slacks and shirt.)
Listen carefully to instructions.
Ask all the dumb questions immediately. They won't be dumb if you ask them at the start, only if you start work not knowing what you're doing and have to ask later)
Work hard.
Be respectful of fellow workers as well as bosses
Find a moment to quietly thank th guy who hired you for giving you this chance.
Sup adv family
So all my life I've had a double chin, no matter how much I weighed. My mom has one, her dad had one, her brothers have one, and they're all slim so im pretty sure it's hereditary
I feel like if I didn't have it I'd have a lot more confidence with girls and such. Have you guys ever had lipo done? Its not cheap but as long as I don't get super fat I should be fine
pls
Obviously the double chin didn't stop the generations before you, why should it stop you?

Different day and age, different standards on looks.
I'm 20 and smoke a few times a month. Usually when it's offered. Well I was out with my friends and they offered me a blunt and I smoked it and I felt pretty tapped. This has never happened before and I'm still scared.
ok
Everything was cool and chill and we were listening to some music and then it kicked in and I remember they were all laughing and shit and I was so absorbed in the trees and everything seemed weird and I remember standing over MYSELF and just staring and honestly I thought "am I dead?" lol I sound crazy but I was just wondering whats up I ended up walking home and taking a nap and now I'm kinda sober but still freaked out. Laced? Has this ever happened to anyone here?
Okay be nice I thought I was dead up until like 3 hours ago. It's 5:00 am here.
OBE
>>17184728
was it dank/ it sounds kinda like it could have been laced with something, but im not experienced enough to know. one of my first times smoking, i got so high i did a flip from a kneeling position and landed on my back. and i was really worried about everyone, making sure they were okay.
>>17184728
I wouldn't call that a bad experience. I also wouldn't rule out that it's laced, but that's a question for your friends.
Marijuana is a tricky substance that has different effects based on its classification, percentage of thc, cbd, and several other natural chemicals. Given regard your experience, you either had some decent indica or something we call shake, low quality or otherwise dying Marijuana plants. If the weed looks brown, it's lost its freshness and is usually referred to as shake. This usually amplifies the sedative effects of Marijuana, for whatever reason. There's multiple names for this, actually, I'm just used to shake.
Could also be your own tolerance to Marijuana to begin with.
I am so tired of people only wanting stuff from me.
Nobody ever contacts me unless they want something from me, even my family.
I don't know if I'm autistic or if people are just self-serving scum. I'm seriously salty af and I can honestly say I don't think I've ever had someone I could call a friend.
I only receive texts/messages saying "wat up" or "I need your help"
Then, whenever I try to have a normal conversation I just get ignored.
One notable example...I live alone and my brother lives in his ex-girlfriend's dad's store. We met up one and I try to have a conversation and he literally whips out his phone and disregards me. I just walked away at that point.
Fuck everyone.
And these cunts wonder why I prefer to be alone and just pursue my hobbies.
>>17184717
wat up
I need your help
could you gift me a steam game?
>>17184717
tell me about it
people are the fucking worst
Where would I have to go to find a cute Otaku girlfriend? Conventions?
Do any of you have Otaku partners? What's it like?
You can find cute girls that like anime a lot of places. You can find cute girls that like japanese stuff at asian studies departments.
You cannot find cute girls who are true otaku.
anime clubs, gaming clubs, dnd groups, manga section at the bookstore
you can meet them at cons, just be careful because there are some crazy fucked up people at cons. I mean there are crazy fucked up people everywhere, but they seem to concentrate heavily at conventions
>>17184720
Explain this please...
i feel like my dead ancestors (like the ones from the past 2 generations) are trying to communicate with me. how do i make them go away
Why would you want to?
Also ask x

>be me, 24, fairly bad luck with women
>dating this girl, that I've liked for awhile, she's perfect
>qt3.14/10
>bang once, i finish early but she says it's best she's ever had
>try again tonight, get foot cramp as i'm putting on condom
>thought of worthlessness, rent, and every problem I've ever had flood my mind
>no longer have boner
what the fuck can I do to fix this, I'm not generally anxious, but the pressure of foreplay, getting hard, staying hard while putting on condom, putting on condom right, not finishing to fast, making sure she's pleased, is fucking with my head majorly.
It hasn't always been like this, but I haven't had sex in awhile. I'm fucked.
Fuck without condoms
No balls.
>>17184656
Same problem here. Bumping for interest.
>>17184656
Focus on her. Give her a couple of orgasms by hand or mouth before you even think about climbing aboard, and then even if you can't get it up you won't have cheated her. (And because the pressure is off, you might be able to keep it up).
what do I do to get my bf more horny? we just came home from the bar pretty well seasoned and he is tired and uninterested as usual. I tell him that I want him and he kind of just ignores me and climbs into bed. this happens so much. I don't even get wet anymore when we have sex.
how do I get him to want me? I want him to be the one to initiate sex and climb on top of me and just make me feel sexy, I want him to grab me and make out but that stuff never happens. our sex is so boring.. breaking up isint really an option because we just moved to Arizona from nj a year ago so we do rely on eachother. any advice? I'm at my wits end. I really want good sex but I don't feel like I'm getting it.
>>17184626
make him jealous
>>17184636
he would break up with me if I cheated on him. I don't want to hurt his feelings but he would take that a bit extreme
>>17184626
Are you fat?
And don't even try to understate it.
I will die if this goes on.
All my life I have tried to follow my ethical framework as closely as possible. This framework has changed through time and it has turned increasingly amoral but "fair" so to speak. Basically I try so everyone (including me), at least but not only the ones involved with me one way or another, have the greatest control over their life as possible.
The problem is my desires and inner world are a complete mess and sometimes I feel like I have to ignore my ethical framework. This is literally the only thing keeping me from cheating on my gf, underground human experiments (where they agree under rather shady conditions but safety measures would be taken to stay out of jail) and overall being a huge asshole.
How can I be a decent human being as naturally as most people seem to be?
This makes me think about if we are good people doing bad or bad people trying to get control of ourselves.
>>17184611
>underground human experiments
What line of work are you in?
what's stopping you from breaking the law and doing these unethical things? nothing until someone catches on. just be yourself and try and live in the moment and stop worrying about ethics. if you can't control these impulses to do bad shit seek help.
basically my gf wants to be an actress and I'm having trouble coping with the idea of her performing in intimate scenes.
I talked to her about it we didn't really get anywhere. For me it's really not "just acting" these other people will still be kissing,touching her etc. Ive decided not to make any major decisions till it actually happens but the possibility of it still weighs on my mind, I'm unhappy and can't fully enjoy the time I spend with her, what do I do? Is breaking up really the only option?
Breaking up is probably the best thing, because you're an insecure faggot. Freaking out over staged intimacy is 8th grade drama class bullshit.
So...you could just get over yourself instead, but...
>>17184521
Staged or not it wouldn't bother you if another person was touching your partner in such a way?
>>17184529
Not really, to be totally honest. But I dance and psuedo act. When I'm some princess being held at a climactic moment by the prince, I sometimes have romantic feelings, but more in the moment as my character for his character. When we get backstage and start squeegeeing all the sweat and ben nye off out bodies and faces, he's just Nick again. We talk about how it went, when we fucked up, and how the crowd was. We show eachother dumb shit on facebook, laugh about the groupie types texting us and that's it. I'm not saying theater romances never happen but...If you don't trust her in that situation, I'm guessing you don't trust her in a lot of other innocuous situations either.
It's good not to let blind trust cloud your judgment, but at a certain point you have to let your partner live their life.
I think my husband has one male colleague. He's meeting at coffee houses and restaurants and traveling to fancy conventions with attractive women his age. The nature of their field means they're very open with each other. That seems almost more nerve-wracking to me than staged humping, but I trust him. That's why I'm with him.

If people saw us next to each other, they would think I am out of her "league". From how she talks I think she's aware of this. She doesn't wear makeup and doesn't try to dress nice.
But for some reason I fucking really really like this chick. Everything about her. She's a 9/10 in my book.
She's coming over to my house tomorrow night, I want to make sure she craves me more after she leaves. Not just sexually, but I want her to keep coming back and back and wanting me and to try and hang out with me. This girl is amazing. I know how it works. If I get to clingy (which is really want to do, but know I can't), then she will distance herself eventually.
What are some mind games or some tactics I can use to make her want me even more by the time she leaves?

how the fuck do you get over the fact that you had the chance to change your life and make it better, but due to anxiety and hesitation didn't act on it and now you feel you didn't make the right choice, and even worse are stuck in a place you dont want to be.
is there really anything harder to get over than that. the fact that you COULDVE, but you didn't
>>17184469
you're not dead, you know.
>>17184481
of course the "could be worse" always worked for me. but that method of thinking loses its potency so quickly when you add into the equation that you could've had better but you chickened out.
am i making any sense
>>17183224
You either stay stuck and anxiety ridden or you fully accept it, own the pain and learn from it.
Either way, you can't change what happened.
Learn from it. Become stronger. Use it as fuel.
Get angry and force yourself to grow so that it never happens again.
>be me, spending night at friend's dorm (it's a single)
>she and I drink wine together, we get drunk and hook up (second base; fingering and a handjob, finish in mouth)
>went from never having kissed to THAT over the course of a night
>she confesses she has feelings for me
>I don't, but I literally don't remember what led up to the kiss or escalation but she said I initiated
>we wake up next to each other and still make out in between talking about what just happened
I still can't imagine us being in a relationship, but is it possible to do this again in the future or was this a one-off? Thing is, I do care a lot if I lose her from my life.
Are you like, 19??
>>17185115
I'm 22, why?
She had feelings. If you break her heart, you will lose her. If youth care about her and like her what is it that makes her unsuitable for a relationship?
Has anyone successfully tried to get anxiety medication? What should I tell the doctor?
>>17184398
>Hey, Doctor. Sometimes I get nervous on airplanes.
>>17184398
>"I have anxiety. What can I get for that?"
It's actually perfectly fine to talk to a doctor about medicine. You're not trying to score heroin and hoping the guy isn't undercover.
>>17184398
>>17184403
Don't forget you have to make it seem like you're sick and not just trying to get drugs. Frequent urination is a pretty solid, typical, easy to treat symptom... so if they ask how often you pee, say about eleven times a day.
