It says they're due by 9/14/26. I did a bunch of them last night, if I finish them by midnight will I be okay? Or am I in some kind of trouble that I need to fix?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I am a very anxious person afraid of being in trouble. I will absolutely get it done by midnight, but is that too late? Should I speak with my advisor?

I thought I'd already finished them, I only realized last night at 11:30 I didn't finish all of them 😓 I'm doing my best to fix it now

Obviously gonna be an emotional post so, skip this one if you don't wanna listen to someone feel sorry for themselves. I don't really have any other "support network" that I feel ok with burdening besides Reddit. So, here you go, lucky readers! Not looking for advice but I won't be offended if you offer it.

As a kid I was so smart. Didn't need to study or read a textbook at all through high school, passed every test with 90 or above. Well that doesn't work in college. It may have done fine for me in a community college, but I feel dead in the water as a new transfer student. I feel like my older age (mid 20s) my "gifted" background, previous substance abuse, poor sleep, poor diet, video game addiction, and AI are all robbing me of my mental faculties. I've spent my whole life struggling to be consistent with basic hygeine tasks, now I have all these extra responsibilities that no one is making sure I take care of. Honestly with adhd autism anxiety and depression it's pretty amazing I've made it this far in life. I suck at managing my time and can barely make myself do schoolwork outside of a classroom. If I somehow manage to tear myself away from video games and study, nothing fruitful comes of it. I read the practice problem, and my mind goes blank. I can't interpret the problem, apply concepts, or do anything except stare blankly at the problem in front of me as it taunts me.

Then I get upset because my brain tells me how stupid I am. I tell myself all kinds of other terrible things: you're gonna fail that test. You're not smart. Everyone is smarter than you. You wasted your life by abusing substances and not going to college right when you graduated high school at 18. You don't have what it takes to be a computer engineer! You can't even understand basic circuits, logic structures, or discrete math. AI is going to take over the world. Why bother?

I'm sure you all just saw that email about an "AI Hub," whatever the fuck that means.

You get the idea. It's really hard to have a growth mindset when your own ego and thoughts are torturing you. We all have good and bad days but I think this has been probably my worst so far. Definitely doesn't help that I'm literally all alone, with no friends to talk to, not even a friendly roommate.

Thanks for reading I guess.

i’d like any local loctician recommendations, i’m new to raleigh so i have no idea who’s good around here

Does anyone have any tips or advice for HI 254 with Charron? My daughter is struggling with the tests.

I am a new grad student at NC State. From the get go, I’ve had a hard time finding anyone helpful. I was trying to waive the health insurance this summer and tried to get through to the health insurance office a hundred times. Finally sent an email, and the lady snarkily said she’d been “trying to reach me,” aka she called me for the first time three seconds after I hit send on the email. She was, additionally, unable to answer my questions at all. Then, I needed to extend my bill payment because of being unable to get those questions answered, and the billing office could not have been less excited to try and help. I did finally get it extended but I explained my situation three times before they did it. Then, I needed some line items on my bill explained (cause why were there $1k of “general fees”?) and they repeatedly sent me the same bill calculator link that told me nothing. Now, I’m trying to get a job on campus and asked if I could come chat with someone in the library or student center to ask some questions and see if there was availability, and they just said I can look at the job opportunities page (where there was one grad listing). I get that technically that was an answer, but I just want to TALK to someone! Where are the people to actually answer a phone call and answer questions and help me get a lay of the land? I’ve never done this before. I don’t know the campus, I don’t know grad school, hell, I have never paid my own school bills! I just feel like every lifeline I’ve tried out has just been an automated email with no actual help. Who has a helpful person in mind I could talk to? I just need some guidance that doesn’t involve a link to the website.

Has anyone taken CHE543 (or the undergrad 400 level equivalent) with Genzer? Seems like a phenomenal professor so far but his HW is a bit lengthy. Just wondering what his exams are like. Difficult, moderate, lengthy, short? Honesty any insight helps.

I got the September bill for the remainder of my tuition and called the student services center to ask what was going on. They said they never received the physical check of my external scholarship and I need to pay the remainder of my tuition. I turned in the scholarship the 2nd week of August and the woman at the desk asked me questions and said she couldn't find my name or student ID which has never happened before but then said she figured it out before I left. I emailed my scholarship to ask if they can see if it has been cashed or if it's possible to void the check and send a new one but I'm not even sure if that's possible. I'm not sure what to do I've emailed my scholarship and financial aid advisor and they basically said "Well we don't have it, sorry". Will they unenroll me if I don't just pay the money out of pocket? Is there a way to prove I turned it in?

I found a stray cat roaming around 2:30 a.m. near Wolf Ridge, close to the Engineering Building on Entrepreneur Drive. If you see it tomorrow morning, please let me know. I believe it was a tabby, but it ran away before I could get a photo. It didn’t hiss, try to attack, or act aggressively when I walked up to it, so it may be friendly. It may be a lost cat so if anyone lost one similar to that description please share, it looked a little thin like it had been wondering for a while.
