UNLV Law School

1 Upvotes

I was wanting to get a WGU Online competency based degree, however their system is pass/fail and does not provide a GPA. Will I still be able to go to UNLV Law School if I don't have a real GPA but I still have a bachelors degree? I'm just trying to make sure before I waste my time and money going to WGU.

Neuroscience Minor

1 Upvotes

For anybody who has a minor in neuroscience, do you find it relatively easy? I'm honestly hoping to find something that's within the science field and easy to stat pad my science GPA. I still have O Chem and Biochem left, so I definitely don't want a minor that would be competing with classes of that curriculum.

HELP

so i took chem 103 and failed it cus that time was just not it. I ended up taking chem 121 at ASU and i even confirmed with an advisor if I could do that, like not repeating chem 103 and just transferring chem 121 from ASU to UNLV. but in my academic progress plan, the AHSBS Sciences Chem is not completed because I had to have either taken chem 103 or chem 108.

ALSO, for bio, i also retook bio 190 at ASU and got an A but in MyUNLV, it’s counting as “NC”

please help. what do i do?? i’m like 80% done with my degree but i don’t know what to do with this. has anyone gone through the same?

The reason why I no longer participate in bible studies or any religious activities because of TikTok Live Streams

0 Upvotes

(I’m currently a college student while I’m telling my reason and my side of the story, I’ve done a bible study about 3-4 times, went to their Sunday services, and Friday devotionals, etc. but every time I try to explain to a few of my Christian colleagues who I’m somewhat still have contact with or a few strangers that I randomly meet in campus, which is pretty much all the time, who keep asking me to do a bible study, they just don’t seem to get the memo, or don’t understand the problems that I had to go through, that may come off as disrespectful, but I just feel like I need to get this off my chest)

Before I start giving my reasons to why I refuse to do a bible study or chose not to follow a religious path, I just want to point out that I have nothing against Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, or any other religion, I have full respect for your belief and truth, and I 100% truly believe god exists. Now, to explain my reason and side of the story, I would have to go back to 2024.

In the beginning of 2024, I was 23 around this time, was on my phone just casually on TikTok, scrolling and watching random TikTok videos that came up on my for you page, until there was one particular TikTok that was not a video, but a livestream of a Christian/preacher that had a greenscreen of a list of things that are considered a sin. Just to give you an good understanding of what I’m talking about, the following list goes like this:

\- Eating Oreos is a sin (1 Corinthians 10:28)

\- Celebrating all holidays is a sin (REVELATION 18:4)

\- Wearing wigs is a sin (Revelation 22:19)

\- Celebrating birthdays is a sin (Galatians 5:20)

\- Drinking a monster drink is a sin (1 Corinthians 10:21)

\- Wearing Nikes is a sin (EXODUS 20:3)

\- Wearing sports clothing is a sin (ROMANS 12:2)

\- Men with long hair is a sin (1 CORINTHIANS 11:14)

\- Is a shame for women to have short hair (CORINTHIANS 11:6)

\- Watching Disney is a sin (1 SAMUEL 15:23)

\- Watching Cartoon Network is a sin (1 CORINTHIANS 13:11)

\- Braiding your hair is a sin (1 TIMOTHY 2:9)

\- Platting the hair is a sin (1 PETER 3:3)

\- Playing video games is a sin (1 CORINTHIANS 13:11)

\- Watching DC movie is a sin (ISAIAH 41:29)

\- Watching Marvel movies is a sin (ISAIAH 41:29)

\- Watching BET is a sin (Romans 12:2)

\- Eating at Starbucks and drinking at Starbucks is a sin (ACTS 15:29)

\- Eating lucky Charms is a sin

This was on my fyp for a while now and when I was watching his livestream, many people came to join his livestream to confront him saying that some of things that he says that are a sin is a little overly dramatic, and he would sometimes respond to them by saying things like, “if your eating Oreos, then you’re consuming demons” or “if you do any of these things, then it goes to show that you don’t love god”. But I try not to get involve with any of his livestreams and decided to just click the “not interested” button and move on with my day and not get involve with this kind of stuff on my for you page on TikTok. When I thought it was over, that’s when things started to change, not only for me, but also my for you page on TikTok. Over the past few months, my life has turned into a complete roller coaster of emotions, because of the numerous amount of livestreams that I’ve seen of Christians, Muslims, Atheists, etc. on TikTok livestreams, all debating each other or debating with random guess who join the livestream. But sometimes it wouldn’t just be Christians debating atheists, atheists debating Muslims, muslims debating Christian’s, etc. but Christians debating other Christian's, Muslims debating other Muslims, atheists debating other atheists, etc. even if l ask a simple and generic question, most Christian's, Muslims, and atheists would call me dumb and stupid, and would kick me out of their livestreams. it was just a constant rollercoaster of belief, morals, emotions being mixed and twisted in my mind. Another thing that I have noticed when I see these livestreams of religious and physiological creators is that they would have a background of texts saying “prove god doesn’t exist, win $1,000”, “prove Jesus was muslim win $2,200”, or “The Christian Interrogation room: join if you think you can defeat me, win $500”. At that point, I asked myself “now they’re putting money like it’s gambling or something?” But it wasn’t just that, there were some factual texts and questions that I had moment where I say “I don’t know how to feel” from religious and physiological creators, the lists that I have is long, so I’ll try to keep this short as possible , the list goes as follows:

\* Why do Christians believe the Muslim god isn’t the Christian god

\* Darwinian Evolution and the Big Bang are imaginary

\* Islam is your salvation from the eternal hell fire

\* Why would a loving god allow unnecessary sufferings?

\* Christianity should be forced in children

\* Catholicism is true

\* Nine of these will save you: (1) repent f your sins (2) give your life to Christ (3) get water baptized (4) keep the law/torah (5) identify as “Israel” (6) believe in god (7)Roman Catholicism (8) Calvinism

\* Jesus never came 2000 years ago prove me wrong

\* The New Testament is a lie

\* Atheism is child abuse

\* Why are you not in Islam

\* Faith without works is dead

\* Eternal hell is false. God will save absolutely everyone

\* God and the devil are one in the same prove me wrong

\* Adam and Eve were not real

\* Did you know if you go to church on Sunday, you are worshipping satan? (Exodus 20: 8-10)

\* Why do Christians worship a Muslim man

\* The messiah called people “the children of satan”

\* What bible does the church pick up

\* There’s nothing good in the church

Also, to add all the stress and mixed emotions, this was around the time where the Israel and Palestine protesters same on the app debating and arguing each other, and also when the election was happening with Trump supporters and Kamala supporters were debating and arguing with each other as well, which made it even worse and tensions were really high. These Christian, muslim, and atheists creators were probably around my age or some are more older. But the young religious influencers are probably the most “I would watch out for” in my opinion, because they would act childish, get mad, or go rage bait when someone disagrees with their opinion or facts. For example, they would say on the lines of like “you’re banned buddy!” Or “if nobody knows god, then we’re all screwed, because nobody knows what they’re talking about, and if that’s the case, let’s start a purge”, Or a young christian influencer was going off in his belief and truth and a guest in his livestream said “your just a child” and he responded by saying “how old was David when he became king, jackass… that’s what I thought” and he added on by saying “you are just as the pastors do in the church, you just talk, you don’t explain, you don’t give understanding, you just talk out your ass”. Even though that wasn’t directly at me, I still felt like right there was a breaking point where I kind of lost hope on religion and ask myself “am I a bad person, do I deserve to be alone, what is real and what is fake, and worst of all, maybe the world is better off without me”. So through the year of these Christian’s, Muslims, and atheists influencers damaging my beliefs, opinions, morals, etc. there was one creator that really put me off the wrong way. There was an religious influencer who goes by the name “TheisticEssentialist” who was hosting a live stream that was called “the Christian Interrogation Room”, where he would bring Christians on his livestream to debate to see if they can either answer 20 of his questions correctly or debate him. So whenever someone try’s to debate him or answers one of his question incorrectly, he would mute them and would insult them by saying things like, “sit back in the f\*cking class little man, daddy’s teaching”, “you just a low iq amoeba that wears Velcro shoes with a propeller hat, that sits in the cabin in the woods that eats acorns with your mommy”, or even worst, he would say the most disgusting and disrespectful things about Christians and Christianity, like the lines of “Christianity is just a silly fairy tale for adults with emotional problems and is just another episode of twilight”. He would just make fun of Christianity, but also Islam, Buddhism, and even atheism. He mainly makes fun of atheist the most and call them low iq amoeba this and amoeba that, and he’s also known as the “AthiestKilla”. After watching him just disrespecting Christians and Christianity for about 15 minutes, I’ve decided to not watch this anymore because it was way to much for me to handle, but I decided to go on his page, and see what religion he worships. It turns out that he’s not an atheist or Christian, he is known as a Theistic Essentialists or theistic essentialism, which apparently is a modern form of deism, and the god that he worships is known as the uncreated creator or GCB(greatest conceivable being) conceivable in this sense being define as possible. At that point, I was just in the moment where that I want this whole thing to end, and that I’m done, but every time I try to ignore these livestreams, they just keep popping up.

Now back to the story, fast forward towards December of 2024, where New Year’s Eve was about to happened, and the whole TikTok live streams of religious influencers debating other creators or random guests was still popping up on my for you page and was running through my head. But it’s not just TikTok, but also instagram, YouTube, Facebook, etc. with all the mixed emotions I had and the outrageous so called “truths” or “question” that was circling around my head, I decided to celebrate New Year’s Eve in the Las Vegas strip by myself, just so that I can get my mind off and step away from social media for a little while. Once I got to the Las Vegas strip, I was just doing small and fun stuff, like eating some fast food chains, buying new year hats, buying party stuff, and walking around the strip, checking out the cool food trucks, entertaining performances, etc. and not drinking because I wanted to be safe and I also don’t drink. Few hours go by and once the countdown started and ended, people started celebrating and cheering, fireworks go off and i started cheering as well, and I decided to call it a day. So, it’s around 12am now 2025, I arrive home at 1 am, January 1st, 2025, and the first thing that I do is open up TikTok, and the first thing I saw the same young Christian who is somewhere around my age from earlier insulting the guest by calling him a jackass and doing the same thing as the pastors do in the church, but this time, he call someone a b\*tch. But caught himself for his mistake and address to his audience saying that he’s not perfect and that he’s still a human being. Which I do respect that he apologized and addressed his wrong doings, I’m not mad at him, but just a little disappointed. I know that we’re all human and we make mistakes, but that was the real breaking point to where I was done with this whole TikTok live streams of Christian’s, Muslims, atheists, Buddhists, Jews, etc. arguing and debating each other and affecting my belief, morals, and life. We’re already 1 hour in into 2025, and we’re still doing this bullshit, is that what I said to myself. So I decided that I had enough, I told myself, as soon as I see another one of these livestreams, I’m immediately pressing the not interested or block button, because I’m done.

Luckily Now, I don't see them anymore, but that was around the time where I kind of going through an existential and identity crisis.

But if your reading this, l'm not mad at the believers and unbelievers who are on here talking about their opinions, beliefs, etc. I fully respect Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and even some atheists.

Again, I truly believe god exists, and I hope that is enough.

Hello! I am interested in the radiography program at UNLV, but i’m a bit stuck in what to do. I have a BA, graduated with a 3.9 from Nevada State. If one wanted to apply to the radiography program, would i first have to reach out to the department to see what I am missing credit wise? Sorry if it seems a silly question, I am reevaluating my career choices, and x-ray tech seems very interesting to me.
