What do I do when I fail a course because an instructor didn't do their job and update my grades?
I was riding just under what is required for a C because I missed an essay. I asked if I could turn it in late and was given permission. All of our work is submitted online to scan for plagiarism and I'm able to see every grade I have received. I had a 0 from not turning it in, but once I submitted the work it says that it requires grading and hasn't changed since. It has been this way since I have submitted it around a week ago and now I have received my grades for everything I've taken this semester and was not given any credit for the essay making my grade a D. I don't know if it's even possible to have the grade changed at this point. I'll have to retake the class.
Is there anything I can do about this? I was thinking of sending the instructor an email, but I don't want to be too confrontational. What should I say?
This is a problem you need to solve by going to the instructor and explaining your agreement and present situation in person.
Do it now.
You should have talked to (or at least contacted) your professor on the day of your final exam. Your grade is usually locked in within a couple days at that point. Not having seen the mark for your essay posted by then would have been a big concern.
You need to ask whether your grade reflects your essay because you hadn't seen the credit for it posted by the time that your final grade was calculated. If there was an error, you then need to ask both the professor and the dean of students if there's time yet for the amended grade to be put into the system. If there isn't, you need to keep contacting the dean about ways to resolve the issue other than retaking the class.
About to send this in an email:
"Were the late essays I submitted included in my final grade?"
You think that's good enough for now?
Hey /adv/
So,my girlfriend and I have been together for almost a year. When we met, she was a smoker but after things got more serious she promised to quit because I do not tolerate smoking. Problem is, sometimes she still does. Recently I have noticed that when she comes from school, she smells like cigarettes. Once I asked her why and she said that she was with her friend who was smoking, but she didnt. Thats an obvious lie. Some days ago I found a pack of cigarettes in her pocket by accident. She doesnt know that i know. I'm planning to confront her tonight when she comes home.
How should I do it?
TLDR: Gf is still secretly smoking even tho she promised to quit. Help.
If you don't like her why don't you just break up with her? Why is she obligated to change for you?
>>16579486
I know you're still smoking sometimes. I've found a pack in your pocket, you smell like it when you come home certain days. You know how I feel about it. What's going on? Do you need me to help in some way? Get some gum or therapist or something?
Then you have a back and forth. Don't back her into a corner. Instead, confront and offer solutions. If she refuses to try the various gums/pills/therapies to quit, you need to decide if you want to keep going with this person.
>>16579489
Yes,I have thought about breaking up with her, but except for this, we are perfect match. Also, she promised to quit without even me insisting it and now it's simply so annoying because 1) shes lying 2) she couldnt keep her promises

How do I deal with my boyfriend's blatant insecurity about the fact that he has 2 baby mamas and 2 kids?
Trying to give him a chance, but he takes every little dumb joke regarding kids, daddy issues, or pro-abortion way too hard. He even egged me on to "be myself" and "be as sassy as my friends say I am."
He also thinks it's shitty that I keep saying I don't want children unless I am married, have a career, and am financially stable. He takes it as me saying his children would ruin my life goals. I tried to explain it's different because I am not their mother and don't care for them 24/7, but he decided to be a faggot and not listen to me.
I currently requested to be alone today to work these things out in my head + dealing with the loss of my grandfather yesterday. Please help.
gif related, it's what I'm doing when I'm stressed.
>>16579471
You don't. You abandon that mess of baggage. Jesus Christ woman. This guy is not unique or special or "the one." There are thousands of "ones" out there. Don't buy into stupid fairy tales. There are much better partners for you. Don't even think of long term with this person. Some day being married to and being responsible for his two illegitimate children, in addition to any you may have of your own. Yeah, good luck with that financial mess for the next couple decades.
>>16579478
I already have this sneaking suspicion that this will not be long term. The dude is so fucking insecure about himself and about my sex life before we met. It started out as a pity hook up, he's going through a divorce (his wife of 7 years cheated on him 4+ times). He was a really good friend to me before this.
Now it's like... Fuck, he's so overly sensitive about being a father/having children and about the fact that I am pretty goddamn independent and respect myself more than his baby mamas than to get pregnant by some asshole I'm not married to.
My aunt suggested a prenuptial if I ever got serious with this dude. He also had a vasectomy, and although he said he was willing to reverse it, not sure if I want to be added to his collection of baby mamas.
Basically, I just wanted to have fun and date the dude while I go to radiology school but he is flippin' his shit.

>How do I deal with my boyfriend's blatant insecurity about the fact that he has 2 baby mamas and 2 kids?
Depends on what caused the insecurity. If the women left him, men usually take these things personally. Give him confidence, and don't remind him of his faliures. Be discrete and don't hurt him in a spot where he is sensitive. If he's going through a divorce now, it is still fresh memories for him, with time it will get better.
From what you wrote I think you are successful, confident, and have your life sort of together, while he definately feels that he is lesser than you because he made a lot of mistakes in his past.
Why does everyone think suicide is bad? Im sad and want to die, why wont peeps be nice and just let me? Euthanasia and all? Just want to hear /adv/ opinions
Because they are afraid since you have nothing to lose.
>>16579400
You can kill yourself any time you want to. There are thousands of ways to die. Why do you need sombody else to be there with you when it happens (euthanasia) as if theyre going to give a shit.
Well, OP?
>>16579410
i dont need people to be there. I mean, if i did kill myself people would be sad. But why cant they be happy for me and let me, why do doctors try to stop you rather than let you
If a couple living together break up and move apart, who gets the pet?
Whoever paid for it. Whoever wants it more? Whoever spent more time taking care of it? Whoever is willing to pay the other? Whoever wins a coin flip? There's lots of ways you could do this.
whoever's name it's in.
whoever adopted it and paid for it, whoever registered it with the city if that's mandated, whoever bought it from the breeder/petstore.
if you don't have any record of that, whoever cares for it and interacts with it more. that's likely to cause another fight, so be prepared.
I totally got to keep our cat when my ex got abusive and then cheated on me. I was the one that adopted him from a vet when he was a kitten.
I've been seeing a really great girl for a few months now. Recently, we were just shooting the shit and we came upon the topic of controversial opinions we both might hold. Hers happened to be that she doesn't believe in marriage, and that she doesn't feel like a piece of paper should legitimize a relationship. I asked what alternative she was envisioning and she said that a domestic partnership offers essentially the same benefits after living together for years. Now, my understanding is that marriage provides many legal benefits that a partnership does not. Mainly, partnerships are not recognized universally. I don't know what to do because I really like her, but marriage has always been an end goal in the back of my mind. I'm also 24 so I feel a bit dumb worrying about it right now.
Don't fall for the marriage trap unless she is much more wealthy than you are.
It will ruin your life in the near future.
Unless of course you live in some country where things like marriage are still respected then go on ahead and keep pushing for that.
Look up a Biblical marriage. No legal documentation required, but you are still molded as one soul, one flesh, that will be more than capable of raising a child with utmost care.
>>16579259
She doesn't want anything serious with you keep her as FWB if you are ok with it or dump her.
I've already saw girls who said that they didn't believe in love crying for Chad cuz he P&D them, i think its bullshit in the same way.
I'm starting to fall completely in love with this girl, but I'm fixated on the thought of losing her. Help.
You won't if your not a fucboi. oh wait she might just find out secretly you are.... Be worried friend
The moment you can't give her attention (have to sleep early, work, school, etc.) she will get bored and start talking to other guys. Girls are bitches. They fall for any attractive guy that throws them a bone. Even if you're able to give her attention 24/7 she will feel smothered and find other dicks to fuck.

that is why you must find a pure muslim woman, my friend.
I've had my heart broken recently. (1/2)
This guy and I go back to high school. I'm a senior in college now and he works. I've always had feelings for him, but never this strongly as before. In college, I did date some dudes, but it never worked out and he would always listen to me. We would always text each other and talk about stuff. Then we started sending each other nudes and sexting.
In junior year I got an apartment to myself. He said that he would come and spend the night with me. He lives in Tomball. I go to school in College Station, so it's barely an hour away. He only came to my apartment twice. I went to his house once. All throughout my spring and summer semesters at A&M, he said he would come, but he never did. Something always came in the way, his dad, his grandma, his work with some author (Robert Waggoner, fuck if I know what they're doing). The incident that hurt the most is when we made plans to see The Martian. He kept saying that he'll be there and see the film with me. I get all dressed up, wear nice makeup, do my hair, shave, everything. Then I wait and wait and wait. I fall asleep and wake up at 2AM to a text sent at 1AM saying that he wasn't coming. He was doing some job like 5 hours away with his dad. He apologized for this.
Everything was good for a while. He even told me stuff like how he liked seeing me smile and laugh, how he liked my makeup (I would send him selfies everyday of my makeup. He really liked it), the clothes I wore, my body, and how good I always looked.
(2/2)
Then at the beginning of November I asked him when we would have our Star Wars marathon. He was in a silly mood that day and he kept trolling saying how he would rather have a Kylo Ren cosplay outfit than have sex with any girl. I got impatient and angry and I just straight up called him an asshole and that he treated me like shit. He finally gave me a tentative date.
Then for all of November he didn't talk to me, I texted him, but he wouldn't respond. On December 3rd I sent him a text asking him if we were going to have our marathon. He said no. He said that I should move on, that 500 other guys can replace him, that if he had a daughter talking to someone like him he would tell her to drop him, that I can do better, that he's an asshole/fuckboy.
I'm so heartborken over this. It's been 2 weeks but it still hurts. I wish I could have him back and have things be better. I haven't gone out on a date in over a year and I keep to myself at school a lot. I just miss him so much.
Yesterday I dropped off his birthday present at his house. I got it for him a while ago but could never give it to him because we never saw each other. I wrapped it up and wrote a nice little note. I don't expect the present to make things better or for him to come back to me, but it was somethingI I just had to do.
I don't know...try shutting the fuck up? Bitches should only use their whore mouths to suck cock. Wanna know why we accept Muslims into our countries? So cunts like you will finally be put in your place. You will need to accept Sharia Law and won't be able to post on the internet or have sex with more than one man without being murdered. Can't wait until I can properly beat my whore wife and she can be all covered up just because I say so.

????????
How to trick girls? Just wanna trick them in general, could be anything really as long as it's tricky.
give me some advice
That game is called flirting. Also banter. Playful (or mean-spirited) lying is an advanced form of social communication, if you're lying not to hide a defect of your own, but to expose a flaw of theirs.
It's a clever and involved thing and you'll learn with practice.
>>16579110
>>16579110
so what's the trick?
>>16579117
I don't know. That's up to you. Use your wit. Spread something not very offensive but a bit weird about a girl around your friends and her friends. See the results. All sorts of pranks you can play.
Long story short, I found out today that if I google my name, the fifth result down is a blog post where some guy I went on a date with and didn't want to continue seeing put up my photo, full name and made up some BS, telling people to never date me and putting me on a blacklist. This wouldn't be such a big issue, but I have a very unique name and it has a photo of me. I don't want this to be an issue later when trying to find a job or when people google my name.
What do I do? I already reported it three times to Tumblr (where the blog is posted) but it doesn't seem as if they're doing anything about it.
I don't want to open up contact with him again because he harassed me for weeks after I refused to go on another date with him.
Contact google

To add something you have a right to be 'forgotten' unless for certain reasons but being a bad date is not it

Send tumblr a DMCA notice, they'll take it down quick.
So i think my Dad just hit on me this morning.. I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure how to explain it, so I'll answer questions..
Has anyone had any experience with this kind of situation? What should i do?
What did he do?
>>16578967
He woke me up this morning, I was in bed dressed in just panties and tank top.. He sat on the bed and touched my ass for a while before waking me up. I was awake the whole time but pretending to be asleep because I was scared.
That's not making a move, that's molestation lol.
Are girls less attracted to bi guys?
>>16578929
As much as I hate to say it yes. When my ex came out to me as bi because *~you should look past gender and love people for who they are~*, I threw up a bit in my mouth.
Nobody will ever be able to tell the difference OP, unless you specifically tell them.
>>16578929
it seems to be that way sadly, but i would be fine with it but i'm bi myself too
post your stories, questions here or give advice
Don't be shy, it's not like you have anything better to do.
I keep thinking I'm crazy but I guess a part of me knows I'm not.
I feel like I've gotten better but then maybe I haven't gotten better, my way of dealing with depression has just CHANGED. I stopped taking my medication because I just don't want to fucking do it anymore. i want to get better with just counseling. but lately, I can't even get out of bed for awhile because it just makes me uncomfortable and depressed to think i'm just going to do the same useless shit i do everyday.
Is it bad to just go cold turkey off of prozac? i've been having withdrawals but nothing dramatic like trying to commit suicide. My head just feels really dizzy every now and then.
>>16578851
>can't get a gf
>pathetic
>fell like killing myself every other week
it's like i just stop enjoying everything i love once i remember that i don't have a gf.
>b-but you don't need to get a gf to be happy
i fucking do
Man I think I fucked up big time at work.
So employees have their own personal codes for the alarm system. This is a code that is not supposed to be shared with anyone as everyone has a unique code which tells who turned the alarm on/off.
Anyways the alarm was playing up today and wouldnt turn off in the middle of the shift. The store manager called in the Security company to check out the alarm system.
My store manager then asked me how i got into the building when I was on my own one day last week to which i said that I had already been given a code. We then go in talk to the security guys to which they said it may be my code messing up as I was new and told me to write it down for them.
I wrote it down no questions asked. Now im paranoid that it was a trap set up by the bigger boss (my store managers manager) to see if i was dumb enough to give my code to someone.
What do and how do I stop being anxious about it right now? Im new and have been there for a week. I feel like I have been fucking up small things but now this seems big. What do you think? Its for a retail thrift store shop and I havent had a job in 3 years and was basically a shut in all that time with depression/anxiety problems so I really dont want to fuck shit up right now
Should I start thinking up of excuses or what to say incase I am confronted about this or if later on down the track someone robs the store using my entry code because one of the security guys sold it to someone or someshit? Or am I being super worried over nothing?
I don't see the problem if you gave your code to the security guys. And you're being super paranoid about this and worrying about nothing anyway
It'd be weird for a company to set up people they already hired for a chopping block desu senpai.
The security company probably has access to all the codes anyway, but they wouldn't know which one was yours, which is relevant information in solving this problem.
You should be fine.
