Student Support Check-in
January 14 ~ January 21 2024
Hello, Lovely Student Support Community! Welcome to our weekly check-in.
Hey everyone! How are we all doing? I hope that you all are having a good start to the month and taking time to take care of yourselves. I am traveling this week for a service trip. So far it’s been an overwhelming but a moment for self reflection, gratitude, and importance of community. I am so lucky to have cups so I never feel alone. There is so much pain and suffering in life. Nobody should ever have to walk alone through it and be treated so poorly. Let’s all take a few moments in this coming week to checkin on friends, introduce yourself to someone new, and try to show some kindness to those around us. Anyways For you all, What's been going on in your life? I would love to hear updates. I hope you all are managing through and have a good week ahead. We are always here for you <3

Exams are in a few weeks.. we got the datesheet. No one is guiding us for the practicals. Nervous!
❀ How are you doing? Mentally? Emotionally? Physically? Spiritually? ❀
I'm not good at all. Mentally I feel so despaired because I feel that no one knows how I feel and I feel that I failed because my professor wanted me to use my thesis proposal in a conference and the deadline to submit was today 15/1/2024 and I send her the proposal since 9/1/2024 but she didn't see it until two hours ago to tell me to do some changes and I sent her what she asked for without understanding anything and she didn't give me a respond, and the deadline is over. Emotionally I feel so abandoned and sad because nothing I do is going well and there is trouble in every step I walk. Physically I feel so sick because after I finished my exercise in gymnastics my legs got a very bad cramp above my knees that makes me not able to stand up or sit down, the pain is really horrible. Spiritually I feel that I am in despair and I have no hope that anything would be better.
❀ What do you take for granted? What are you grateful for? ❀
I take my family for granted so I am shocked that my father is dead and I am disappointed that the rest of my family don't care about what I face and treat me as it's normal. I'm so sad to know what I am grateful for.
❀ What are some ways that you can take care of yourself this week? What do your mind and body need right now? ❀
I just want to get rid of this horrible cramp and make this pain stop.
Hi @DinaElwy,
I'm so sorry about the situation with your thesis but know that you gave it your all!
You sent the paper 6 days before the actual deadline and worked hard for it and since your professor read through it I'm sure they're proud of it too! Maybe aim to present it at a conference next year? If possible.
And I am so very sorry to hear about your father, I hope you're able to take some time to register everything in life and just relax for a bit. You sound exhausted but reading that you work out and are taking care of yourself brings me a lot of joy and know that we're proud of you!
Once again, I'm so sorry to hear how things turned out but stay strong and hang in there.
I'm sure you're going to do wonderful things in the future and that more doors of opportunities will open for you! Take care <3
Hey @FaithfulZareia!
Hope the vacation is going well and happy to see you going out more!

💮 Hi guys! Honestly, I've been a little worried recently due to my car having issues. That's my main issue as of now so I'm focused on that.
❀ What do you take for granted? What are you grateful for? ❀
💮 I take for granted the amount of resources my family provides me with and I'm grateful for them.
❀ What are some ways that you can take care of yourself this week? What do your mind and body need right now? ❀
💮 I think this week I'm going to try and sleep 7 hours a day, and hopefully fix my routine, and call job places...i need to get a job soon lol.
@FaithfulZareia
I'm doing all right I guess. Got my scholarship application submitted but I also got an email reminder about class engagement. I wasn't intentionally putting things off; it's just work has been more tedious than the month before & I had to enroll in a new class to remain eligible for a grant...
Anyways, I have the late assignment 70% finished except for the schedule. I was going to try doing it at home but a barely one year old dog wouldn't let me. She thinks it's playtime fom when she gets out of her crate up until I have supper and get things ready for tomorrow (which can be three hours sometimes). Tomorrow at work I'll see if there's something comparable to the program the professor wants me to use because downloads aren't allowed (I understand why).
My other class I've gotten the first assignment out of the way and I need to look at the second assignment.
But, I also need to make sure I don't fall too far behind at work because I'll be short a day because of doctor's appointments. I still haven't touched the quarterly report and that's due at the end of the month.
I know there were other queries but I can't think of them right now. Oh. I'm also running out of paper and ink so I won't be able to do as many pictures as I usually do.
Starting my psychology courses today!

❀ How are you doing? Mentally? Emotionally? Physically? Spiritually? ❀
yk right now i'm doing alright just really stressed about future college life. physically i'm healthy and exercising hooray!
❀ What do you take for granted? What are you grateful for? ❀
i think i take for granted how i make people laugh. i usually feel like no one likes me but a lot of people do.
❀ What are some ways that you can take care of yourself this week? What do your mind and body need right now? ❀
i think just having a more positive mindset and knowing college is not tomorrow should help me not be as stressed. i also just need a big bowl of pasta with red tomato sauce hehe.

What a lovely post, thank you for the check in. I hope you had a nice time during your trip, even if it was a bit overwhelming at times - I'm sure you've done great!
❀ How are you doing? Mentally? Emotionally? Physically? Spiritually? ❀
All right, more or less. My mind has been foggy and confused lately, mostly because I am hesitating about a major decision I thought I made but keep doubting, and the workload for my degree apprenticeship.
❀ What do you take for granted? What are you grateful for? ❀
My family and how warm they can be these days. We have gone such a long way from practically being estranged to chatting every week and even planning holidays together - I am grateful for every little moment of peace we can share.
❀ What are some ways that you can take care of yourself this week? What do your mind and body need right now? ❀
Keep journaling to keep my mind a bit more clear. Work on the new module for the apprenticeship here and there, but also remember to shower, eat, sleep and exercise. Also, start working on preparations for the discussion with the office manager to get that office transfer done in Q3 of this year (and stop doubting myself while preparing for it).
