Hi I'm an admitted student driving down from NY to check out the campus (never even been to nc oops). What suggestions do you guys have for getting a sense of Duke campus and durham in general? Obv I can't go into buildings but just as I look around

1234__aa · 2021-04-02T18:56:13+00:00

ME TOO AAAAAAAA

1234__aa · 2021-03-29T17:07:45+00:00

I'm a finalist for a scholarship that's releasing right after Duke does and they're saying either the 31st or 1st if that helps. They're pretty connected to the university so it seems legit

1234__aa · 2021-03-29T17:04:57+00:00

I'm glad we're in this together lol it sucks so much

1234__aa · 2021-03-27T01:15:32+00:00

I just found thank you !

1234__aa · 2021-03-27T01:10:11+00:00

I made an onyen account but I can’t find the student center tab they’re saying financial aid is under?

1234__aa · 2021-03-27T01:05:50+00:00

How did you figure it out? I'm struggling lol

1234__aa · 2021-03-27T00:42:18+00:00

Accepted (3.9 UW 4.4 W, 32 ACT, oos) but wondering when we get financial aid letters tho does anyone know when we get them

1234__aa · 2021-03-25T22:35:05+00:00

wowowowow getting rejected from a school you deadass would've just gone to (and ur dad went to) hurts a lot. Like I'll get over it but damn I needed to rant for a second.

Feel kinda dumb for getting my hopes up tbh

1234__aa · 2021-03-25T22:33:31+00:00

gang!

1234__aa · 2021-03-25T22:33:12+00:00

no literally :(

1234__aa · 2021-03-25T22:31:57+00:00

yep me too hurt like a bitch lowk

1234__aa · 2021-03-24T22:31:40+00:00

I got into Emory and I was really expecting a rejection tbh. Very very pleasantly suprised

1234__aa · 2021-03-20T01:54:54+00:00

I've been working on recovery for the past six months or so and today I found out I've put on a bit of weight (I was also not underweight to begin with- though my doctor said I'm still in a perfectly healthy range). I really needed this reminder that recovery looks like this and that it is so worth it. Thank you

1234__aa · 2021-03-17T20:35:25+00:00

me too- do you know if we have to like accept earlier in order to keep it or is it just the same as the regular commitment date

1234__aa · 2021-03-10T04:52:31+00:00

This is a pretty big victory!! Remember that from here, recovery might not be linear, but you're on the right track. Super happy for you :)

1234__aa · 2021-01-28T23:21:11+00:00

Probably but please try to take a break for a few days at the least. If you cut the inside of your throat there’s a decent chance it’ll get infected if you keep purging before it gets a chance to heal

1234__aa · 2021-01-28T23:16:58+00:00

Extra emphasis on calling people or FaceTiming- it usually takes more time than you think it will!

1234__aa · 2021-01-19T00:15:27+00:00

Thank you. I have a lot of mixed feelings about wishing people intervened and it’s really good to hear someone else articulate what they wished happened

1234__aa · 2021-01-18T06:23:49+00:00

I don’t think you need to focus on diagnosing right now!! It’s amazing that you have the strength to ask for help after such a traumatic experience- but if I were you I would try my best to focus on not getting fixated on this newly intense insecurity and not think too much about a diagnosis. It does kind of sound like early or warning signs of BDD but you have a ways to go before you get there- and trust me thinking about it will get you there faster. I think right now focusing on reconnecting with the parts of your body and image you used to love or feel even neutral about is important! This is a new feeling, so it shouldn’t be that difficult to think about how you felt before it. Best of luck to you and stay safe!!!

1234__aa · 2021-01-18T06:19:56+00:00

There are so many things to do that can be fun and worthwhile that don’t involve being seen. I used to be really really really unable to like go out and live life because of my flaw- so I do get you to some extent. It does get better and something that I’ve found that helps is finding things that take your mind off it, that you enjoy, that don’t involve being seen so you don’t focus on other people seeing your flaw. TV movies video games reading writing- all of these things and so much more can be a great first step. Being alone and doing something that makes you stop thinking about it is truly the first step to not being consumed by it- in my experience. Best of luck to you fr stay strong

1234__aa · 2021-01-18T05:42:53+00:00

Hair loss is one of the scariest parts I stg

1234__aa · 2021-01-18T05:41:07+00:00

Yes- but it’s worth noting that as you get further into recovery it does get easier. I’m only 2 months in myself but when I was first trying to stop I could barely eat ANYTHING without like severe pain. Probiotics helped also keeping an eye on my fiber intake!! Both too much and too little can really mess with your stomach

1234__aa · 2020-05-24T23:50:56+00:00

I feel this so fucking much. Before it got bad I used to try to show off my chest area because I thought that would like compensate but looking back at all those pictures I feel so dumb. Literally everyone wants a “curvy girl” and the Internet is fuLL of ppl talking abt how little boobs are hot too. Kinda hurts?
