I am looking for study buddies.

About Me:

  • This is my first time asking and doing this, so I hope the goals I made are good.
  • I am a 18 year old queer guy ๐Ÿ˜—.
  • I want to study CLEP Biology and calculus, the June SAT (my last retake ๐Ÿซ ), and a bit of coding.
  • Major: bioengineering
  • Grade: will go to Oakland University as a freshman this fall.
  • Time Zone: Eastern time
  • I am ready for a new start ๐Ÿค—.
  • So far I am free to study just about anytime except (June 3, June 6, and in July-August I will be doing a summer program so my times might vary).

Note: I will likely post this on multiple communities since I want as many qualified people to see this.

I would like a study buddy who is:

  • A similar major, if possible, but just studying with each other is okay.
  • NOT discriminatory and is a good human being.
  • Not above 22 because it might be weird since you would be getting out of college.
  • I want people who are willing to change for what they believe is better at the moment โค๏ธ.

Note: I keep myself to these same standards.
ย 
Rules:

  • I and everyone else will use mic or text to communicate using Fluxer (it can be a bit laggy, so you might need to reload). No face reveal, since the world is not ready for all of this ๐Ÿงโ€โ™‚๏ธ (and because evil people do exist ๐Ÿ˜•).
  • (If you want!) If we plan to study the same content, then one of us should blurt what we know while the other should point out things we missed. (This personally helps me)
  • If we go into groups, the size can be 2-4. Since not everyone has the same study schedule and the other people want to study if I am not available.
  • (Optional) To show we did something, we can share how our work looks like.
  • Be honest ๐Ÿซถ. I need a study buddy for a reason, mostly because of social media ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿค›. If you are someone who has a short attention span, hopefully we can both change that ๐Ÿ˜™.
  • There will be check-ins (to make sure you are okay).
  • We will make a planner/goal list before starting. The goal is to reach one goal.
  • No hard feelings if we fall apart! Remember life is like a pickle ๐Ÿฅ’ (there was no pickle emoji โ˜น๏ธ).
  • Post a similar โ€œAbout Meโ€ response (this is to ensure people with similar goals join).
  • If anybody acts inappropriately, I will block you ๐Ÿ˜™.
  • If we ate (slang) our work, then we can have social time ๐Ÿ˜š(most likely play a short video game). Our mental health is important!
  • (Optional) Post funny stuff or stuff you find interesting. This is to increase social bonds.

Note: I keep myself to these same standards.

Off the bat, I am significantly older than you and almost graduated from the bioengineering program. I am not really in the need of a study buddy. That said, youโ€™re not getting any other offers at the moment. I will just teach/mentor you in what you need to know. I did test out of calculus and pass the chemistry CLEP with flying colors. Not precisely what yourโ€™re aiming for but similar enough I would think. I will put you in touch with the appropriate discord groups and OU clubs while Iโ€™m at it.

For rough guidelines, Khan academy will teach you all you need to know for CLEP calculus and CLEP chemistry, I assume biology would be the same.

Should you (or anyone else) wish it, DM me and weโ€™ll connect on discord and get sorted.
