Running the Numbers

Kindergarten At a fifth-grade math level, The human calculator. I was running the numbers.

Second grade. Able to skip first. "Two plus seven plus nine plus one million seven hundred eighty-five thousand three hundred and two" While playing popcorn math I was running the numbers.

Third grade. You start getting more homework. "Can you solve this for me?" they say, and I did it every time. I was running the numbers.

Fourth grade. Seen as more of a spectacle by now. "Her brain just works differently," the teacher announced to my classmates. They'd give me a problem and I was running the numbers.

Fifth grade. It started to change. They said I was good, but not enough according to my standards. I couldn't take it- I wanted to be more so I was running the numbers.

Sixth grade. Homeschool will do you in. Seventh, eighth, maybe ninth-grade math. I was freaking out but still, I was running the numbers.

Seventh grade. Suicide, shitty teachers, Covid. Virtual Pre-Algebra was such a wonderful sight. I was still running the numbers.

Eighth Grade, Public school, Algebra 1. Honors classes, GPA. I was doing others' Aleks, so I was running the numbers,

Ninth grade. "It’s so hard!" Friends would say, but I’d disagree and push myself to tears. Trying to get further ahead, I constantly was running the numbers.

Summer before tenth grade. Doing 5 lessons a day, Learning Algebra 2 to get ahead, to move on to PreCalculus. I was running the numbers.

Planning to go to the Governor’s School, maybe arts, maybe science. Planning to be Valedictorian. Planning for college, planning to be a doctor.

Constantly planning, wanting to be more, needing more. I burn out, want to never move from the couch, to quit. I get on a roll, running the numbers. Oh, I long for one minute to be a normal person, not need more, to not be running the numbers.

USAmericans and Cheap University

Hello fellow Americans, I'm here to talk about college. In 2024 I graduated at the age of 33 years old with my BS in Business Admin from Western Governors University. I had not heard about this school until my boss (who has a masters from there) told me about it.

In total (thanks to Pell Grants, which the majority of you are probably eligible for) I paid 2400 dollars for my degree, spread out during my time there.

WGU is a fully online, at-your-own-pace, accredited university with four schools:

Business

Technology

Education

Health and Nursing

Each of these has degrees under it, like accounting, education administration, data analytics and more.

I transferred in with an associates degree, of which they took 30 credits, and completed my BS in 1 year and 2 months while working full time. If you were unemployed or part time, you could finish much sooner than me. And since it's a flat rate per 6 month term, you can take as many courses as you can finish in that period of time. Some people who are unemployed finish in 6 months, with no transfer credits at all.

I mention this as an option because if I had known about this when I was still trapped in retail, I would have done it in a heart beat and gotten out WAY sooner.

If you think you want to go to school, or go back to school, to get a certificate, bachelors or masters, please consider them. There are alternatives to crippling education debt!

Oh my god you guys! That was so hard! I just dropped my youngest, my baby, off for a month at Governor’s School.

She was so nervous she made herself sick as a dog this morning. Then she saw how nervous all the other kids were too and she felt a little better.

There were tears though. That was me. It was me.

Headed home now. Three hour drive ahead of us. Without my girl!!! 😭😭😭

the FBI was already investigating the Winder, GA school shooter a year ago and did nothing. they get onto Cop City & Pro-Palestine protestors for less than that, calling them "domestic terrorists." and you're only called that if you protest against the system.

5.31.24 Block him 🙅‍♀️, Study Hard 📚, & Perseverance 🏆

Block him - block him in the spiritual sense, maybe eventually no contact, but for now no deep convos, no what should've been/could've been, hang out only when you want, no sex, only casual like he never meant anything

Study Hard - Study schedule has to be made and stuck to with consequences and rewards.

Perseverance - you can do this just keep going. Keep trying, use this platform to get out the feelings and post the progress and everything!

Utah Begins The School Year By Banning 13 Books, Including Works by Margaret Atwood and Judy Blume

Utah Begins The School Year By Banning 13 Books, Including Works by Margaret Atwood and Judy Blume #Books #Politics #Censorship #Writers #Creators

It’s that time of the year again, kids going back to school and as always, we have another statewide book ban on our hands. That’s right, the Utah State Board of Education has begun the school year by ordering schools to begin removing 13 books that include works by Judy Blume, Rupi Kaur, Sarah J. Maas, Margaret Atwood, and other authors for content that the state has deemed to be pornographic or…

Can't stress enough how much I will NOT stand for mindless hating on Gen Z. I have concerns and criticisms of some trends among them, sure, but I will advise the ones in my circle where possible and defend the rest to anyone who tries to do the bullshit to them that got done to us. Gen Z are such a great generation in so many ways and I will be the older adult I needed for them at every opportunity.

Desperately need a new laptop for school!

Donate and share if you can. Any amount helps! I am currently a sophomore in college and I'm working towards my teaching degree. My school is completely online and my old laptop is dying fast, so I'm trying to raise some money to help me afford a new one. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-taylor-get-a-new-laptop?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet

despite running on significantly less sleep than in 2016 i actually think i feel less bad on a personal level today…it’s going to get worse before it gets better (and it will likely get a lot worse) but it’s not the same level of shock i think. it’s not the same level of “what happens next” because we do know what’s planned. and holy fuck is what’s planned terrifying but we know. much easier i think to roll our sleeves up this time around.
