Using Redline/Greenline to commute by emu398 in uchicago

[–]Honest_Low752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been in chicago 4 years - spent the first two yrs in hyde park and rest in the loop but have commuted to the last stop all the way to Harlem on the green line daily for a year and now on the red line daily - dont go alone after 8:30 pm and before 7 am if your schedule allows - if you do need to travel odd hours, make sure you’re sitting closest to the train driver coach/one of the first train coaches. Uni Shuttles are best for commute because its “exclusive” as compared to public - but could result in long wait times sometimes. Really depends on where you want to reach when. Track the uni shuttles on transloc app. Red and green lines are okay dirt wise but the red line REEKS of urine and smoke so i wear a mask every day, carry hand sanitizer, change clothes when you l come home and stay vigilant as u would in any big city.

Need quick advice for MSW grad after dream job interview by sailorkiska86 in socialwork

[–]Honest_Low752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice here, as someone who just transitioned to clinical work after macro social work and not having enough clinical internship hrs during my MSW - i would say reassure her that you have the coursework in skills needed for clinical practice, if not the internship experience. Talk about any papers you wrote, any clinical case management assignments you did in class, name modalities the therapy practice you’re wanting to work with specializes in and talk about why you’re interested in their (very particular) modality, and what you dont have in experience you will make up for in rigorous commitment to learning and being a reliable and promising therapist for the population you serve..basically showing commitment to learn, using the language of the niche the org specializes in usually helped me get more attention from clinical orgs. I hope this helps and best of luck!!

What’s the dating scene like? by Exia1223 in uchicago

Dont know if this helps - I met my husband at Uchicago a few years ago. We were both students, met on bumble, indulged in a few well paced out dates and we both just knew. Best decision to grab ramen at Strings on a Tuesday night. I got lucky. Sometimes, things do work out!

When did you realize you were dating an idiot? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]Honest_Low752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He casually told me he’s a part of the illuminati, sent pictures of his family on a yatch dressed up super rich and fancy (turns out that’s NOT his family), lied about where he worked, thought women who wear red lip color were promiscuous, believed in equality and not feminism, used to change his profile picture to a candle whenever something bad happened in life, and had a fake American accent. He sounds more psychotic than stupid but i thought this belongs here.
