    0402 replied to dsimms2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    0402 replied to tonicareer's topic in General Students

    For the first time, I just looked at a chart converting 20/XX to diopters, since I never knew what I was in the 20/XX chart, only what my prescription was. According to that chart, -6.00 is 20/500,...

    0402 replied to MamaSquared's topic in General Students

    You don't have to be friends with everyone you work with; you just have to be able to work with them. If you get along with them/ are friends with them, that's just a bennie. I've tried to live by...
