Happy Chinese New Year!
by
Last post
 March 1st
...See more Hi everyone!  新年快乐！恭喜发财！万事如意！ Chinese New Year is also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival. As many are well aware, it the largest celebration in Chinese culture with each year being associated with one of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. It's a time when traditions and customs are passed down and families gather together and enjoy feasts.  As we welcome the year of the Dragon, I have the following questions for you: * Can you name all 12 of the Chinese zodiac animals? (If so, what are they?) * What are some tabboos or traditions you've heard or noticed about this holiday?

Studying, Procrastination, and Frustration
by thoughtfulGrapes1163
Last post
 January 27th
...See more Heyyy Lovely Peeps!!! 😍 😍 😍 I'm so happy you found my post 🥰 🥰  In this post, I wanted to discuss, or perhaps talk about, the effect of our health on our ability to focus on our studies, assignments, projects, and such. Very often, we attach our inability to focus on what we need to get done, such as our work, to procrastination and laziness. But I feel like sometimes ( read : all the time ), there may be a deeper reason why we aren't getting that assignment done. Why we switch to youtube, or reddit, or twitter, almost instantaneously after we open the web. Because we are afraid, in some way, of that work. Maybe we feel like, deep down, the performance we show on that assignment is a showcase of who we are, is evidence for people to point to and judge us, to put us on a scale. Maybe its more personal to you, maybe your parents are the ones judging. And its also uncertainty involved in it, in a way. If you work really hard and submit that assignment, before the result comes in, you have an expectation that its going to be a great grade, and then it comes out as a horrible grade. It breaks your heart. Much more preferable is not working on it at all and knowing for a fact and certainty that you will get a low grade. The certainty, and the confidence, gives you a sort of control, and you are ready for it. You prepare yourelf in advance for the punishment, the yelling, the (hopefully not) beatings. But if you work really hard, and still get that bad grade, you aren't ready for that punishment, and you get hurt really bad, because your defences might not have been up to protect you from that attack. We dont want that, so instead, we just not work, not study, and rest assured that we are getting that punishment. You're ready for it. Those are my thoughts, feel free to comment on what you think about it!  Grapes 🍇

Stressed about externship applications
by Daydreamer47
Last post
 September 5th, 2023
...See more Hi all, I am starting clinical rotations for my veterinary program in March, and I am supposed to line up some elective rotations by applying to clinics outside my school. It's been stressful because it has been hard to get a hold of someone at my school to clarify the scheduling. I just found out I got accepted to one for four weeks next summer, but I have to give them an answer by the end of September. The person at my school running the rotation planning has changed several times. I emailed one person who said she is not responsible and to email someone else, so I just emailed them today. I am thinking of giving maybe until Friday and then just calling them or going to the office. I also applied to a second one that requires recommendations. I asked two people to send letters in the beginning of August. One has still not replied to my email, which has been stressing me out. I am going to ask my boss from the summer for a letter, which I think I should do tomorrow. Not really looking for advice just an anxious rant/ramble lol. Day
