Transfer student to UTK+ sorority

[jamw90]

Wow, you're really rude. If you have read the earlier posts you would have known what had gone on this past semester. I will get accepted into college (I got accepted into other UNIVERSITIES (MTSU and UTC), not just other community colleges). The reason I chose the community college was because mainly of money and I wasn't sure which college I wanted to go to. I'm glad I chose a community college and stayed home for a year because if I were away from home when half the stuff went on in my personal did while I was in my FIRST semester of college, I would have probably had a breakdown.

And even though it is a community college, it doesn't mean all classes are easy and you can just bullshit your way through. That's why many classes you take transfer AS IS and not electives into universities. A few of my friends who graduated in the top 10% had problems with some classes they took along with me at the same community college. They were accepted into many well known universities but chose the community college because they were given a full ride. And they still were challenged. You think because anybody can be accepted by a community college that all the classes are easy. Like other colleges, they offer remidual (like high school) courses, AND college classes. Many people choose it for economic reasons.

You're stuck up and rude. I came on here with a genuine question, trying to be polite as possible, and you're being rude. Congrats, this is why many people have a skewed view of sisters in sororities.

It's not rude.

It's the truth.

Education and good grades are first.

Sorority and other activities are second.

I think your questions were all answered politely, in my opinion.

Here's the thing, OP:

Many long-time GCers get very frustrated with posters that don't seem to get the point and don't let things go.

You've started several threads, all of which could have been one thread with multiple questions. All of your questions have been pretty much the same. Guess what, we've answered these questions 900 times before from other posters. On this topic, the university you're asking about doesn't matter. Seriously. You are NOT unique!

When you further beat that dead horse, we get more and more frustrated. Then, we get snippy.

Point? STOP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION OVER AND OVER. Focus on school, get to UTK, cross the recruitment bridge when you come to it.

I wasn't going to go here, but your ingratitude and immaturity have crossed the line. People here do not have to respond to any post, let alone try to help you figure out your issues. Everyone was being honest and frank with you.

I've said it many times and will say it again - don't use the same user name here as you do on sites that contain highly personal info. I'm sorry about your issues, but LIFE HAPPENS. Deal with what's in front of you now - your upcoming semester. IF you make grades and transfer, THEN you should worry about anything on top of that. I'm a very empathetic person, but honey, EVERYONE has stuff to deal with. We can either use that stuff as an excuse or figure out how to work around it, learn a lesson and thrive.

How about just leave some things OFF the internet? Holy crap!

(even worse is that there is a picture. that may do in your recruitment right there)

I Was a little hurt by kddanis comment about community college I to was a really good student in hs and got into some great colleges but just couldn't afford it and ended up at jr college. I still found many courses challenging and it's not necessarily always easier

If you're hurt by what some random stranger on the internet says, you need to grow a much thicker skin to survive in the real world. And right or wrong, people will judge you on attending a community college.

But then again, I wouldn't have ever said anything in your instance because you haven't been posting on here obsessing over your (very poor) grades. You seemingly have good grades and you're not making excuses.

Seriously. WAY too much very personal info out there that takes 2 seconds to google.

If some things need to be said, do it on a private message board or something password protected. Not something for all the world to see.

Or hey, how about using a different username?

Seriously. Can we just end it now? All of your threads are making us frustrated and you are not going to like anything else we have to say.

And AGZG, I just noticed your location... but I am le tired... "Well, ok, go lie down... ZEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!" Classic.

Hehe I think you might be the only person who noticed that.

Luckily this semester I am taking 18 hours, and can drop down to 12 if I have to. Last semester, my grandmother died unexpectedly and we were very close, I had a very bad break up with a borderline emotionally abusive boyfriend, and I had thyroid problems and had to miss class a lot to make doctor's appointments (they were with specialists who were booked at least a month ahead, I had to take what times they gave me). This semester I am basically going to give up my social life and study study study!

Part of the maturing process is learning how to produce, and even thrive despite personal difficulities. In the working world, you are usually given a few days off to deal with a death in the family. When you come back, there may be a few cards and flowers waiting for you, and if you're lucky maybe a sympathetic ear or two. Other than that it's business as usual. For a boyfriend breakup, you'll get even less sympathy. You're there to do a job, and do it well -- and if you don't do it, there are a dozen people who are willing to take your place.

In my lifetime, I've seen the working world become a brutal place. You'll have to toughen up and be prepared for numerous challenges.

Right now, your job is being a student. You will want to demonstrate to future employers that you are a productive, responsible person by pulling A's and B's. I think that it's terrific that you've recognized your deficiency in study skills, and are working to remedy the situation.

Sorority life would put a lot of additional demands on your time. You would have to demonstrate productivity and responsibility in multiple spheres.

I'm going to cosign what the above posters said about not leaving an internet trail behind you. Delete your photo from that one website, and as many personal posts as you can. Use an alternate identity if you must divulge personal information.

You might want to consider taking advantage of your college's counseling services to help you learn how to manage life's travails.

UTK is a very competitive recruitment. 1/3 of their freshman class this year had a high school gpa over 4.0, and most of those girls rush. So your grades need to be excellent, you need a strong and diverse resume with leadership and community service, and you will need recs, preferably 2, to every chapter. Good Luck!
