I am so upset at myself. I failed my lab exam on bones and a quiz. This has been my third time taking A&P, and this struggle is making me wonder what I’m doing. I’m a CNA at a hospital currently and I love what I do. I do have a dream of being a nurse and helping others. However, this class is making it really hard. I withdrew the first two times so it doesn’t affect my GPA, but I’m trying to finish through this quarter. I am working full time NOC shifts and I am doing 12 credits each quarter. I’m a single mom and am just trying to get things done and progress as fast as I can and as much as I can. But I think it’s just making things worse. I’m thinking of retaking it one more time but just have that class for summer quarter.

Any advice?

I am considering buying a used version of these models so here are the specs:

2025 Mazda CX-50 Preferred Sport Utility
- $25,000 for 45k miles
- Looks new as it was previously a rental car.
- I love the all black sleek look, but infotainment system seems so small and I feel has very base model features.

OR

2025 Hyundai Tucson
- $24,000 for 23k miles
- Was previously a rental car.
- Very modern look, with a modern infotainment system and interior!

I want something that is reliable and won’t need constant repairs as I’m dealing with that with my current car.

Thank you all :)

I have a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek that has done me good since I bought it. I have had multiple recalls with ignition coils and stalling. But overall, pretty easy fixes for me. However, Once I hit 120k miles, I’ve had to do multiple extensive repairs, and will be spending more on repairs now. I just paid $7k in an engine flush and engine reseal from the dealership as the independent Subaru Mechanics stated I had to take it there. The engine feels great now, but now my A/C is blowing hot air. I replaced both filters for good measure and checked the coolant, but nothing. And now my taillight is out. I’m so frustrated. I’m done paying off the car, but I have a feeling that I will be spending more than the cars value for repairs in the near future.

Should I just work on the Subaru or should I just purchase a new car?
