I never really felt comfortable asking people for help. I liked figuring out my problems by myself. One place that felt like a good place to find solutions to simple problems or just find answers was Reddit. Reddit is a website that contains an endless amount of communities. These communities can be about anything but have a main topic. For example League of Legends could be one as the topic is a game. It will be a community to talk about and post about League of Legends. This is only a small example. I had a hard time finding a person to talk to for life problems and situations I wasn’t used to. Reddit has a feature that allows you to go anonymous. I use it when I feel embarrassed or don’t want something to be seen on my Reddit account or linked back to me. I go anonymous when I want help with something or talk to someone randomly. Furthermore, I tried to talk to someone when I was in a bad situation. Somewhat like venting to a stranger, and they lend their ear. In turn, I would do the same. It felt weird at first, but it was better than not talking about things that were burning inside me. I posted questions and commented answers that could help others anonymously. It felt pretty good since no one knew it was me but at the same time I would get no credit nor will people know it would be me. I like it when I have a question but at the same time If I answered someone question or helped them I would want to be known to them in some ways.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
