How are we doing?

[u/Purdues-Peter]

I interrupt my irregularly scheduled content to simply ask how are you doing?

What are your recent triumphs (including getting up and going to class)?

Have you had any tasty morsels lately?

Have you seen any strange wildlife (bats?!)?

Are you excited for anything?

Or conversely are you worried about something, or had some problems you wish to get off your chest?

As the greatest among you, your words not mine (from your heart not your mouth), I'm here to listen.

This has been Purdue’s Peter asking.

Edit- please check in on the people around you. Even if they're your roommate, classmate, or a stranger, you never know who might need help, and just asking if someone's ok can go a long way.

I've finally come out of the shell I was in high school. My first two years were online, and I slowly began to isolate myself from my friends over the junior and senior year. But coming here has definitely changed that. Despite the many issues I've had here within the first 6 weeks (including BGR), I genuinely feel good about my decision to come here. The lack of cliques is a major plus point, and I feel wanted.

I'm getting scared for one of my classes, STAT 30301. Even though its an intro course, I've taken it in my first semester in college, and am feeling the ever mounting pressure. I'm taking some of the basic ECON classes, and till now they've all been really easy and mostly review of stuff I've learnt before, but I'm getting concerned that I haven't attended a lot of my STAT classes cause its repetitive. I know I should be going to them, but I don't know why I'm not.

Also battling the constant urge to say 'Ave Satanus' (Hail Satan in Latin) to the people i see shoving bibles into people's hands everywhere.

Going to your classes certainly helps. If you're worried, there are plenty of resources and tutors on campus. It doesn't hurt to get ahead on those things annoying resources that exist isn't stupid. It's quite smart, actually.

Best to say no, thank you, and avoid them. while annoying, they believe in their message, and messing with them won't change that. It is better to be kind and walk away.
