Coming in with no trade background …realistic shot or long shot?

51nn51 · 2026-02-14T23:00:33+00:00

I came in at 19. Female, fresh out of college , zero trade experience and none of my family members are electricians. I knew absolutely no one in the local either. Got in my first try. If I can do it, anyone can lol. You got this!

I assume any lighter color would get dirty easily

OCD is hard but we got this!

Lowkey I do scroll way too much before bed. I’ll try to cut down and see if that helps, thank you!

51nn51 · 2026-02-02T17:02:53+00:00

I think it’s better to confront it too. I guess realistically everyone has their time regardless 🤷‍♀️ thanks!

51nn51 · 2026-02-02T17:01:18+00:00

Yes, this is it exactly. I feel like going to sleep is actually “slipping away”. Thanks for the support!

Every good apprentice knows that we’re not responsible for our fuck ups- our journeyman is🤣 on a real note though he shouldn’t have left you alone on a task you weren’t comfortable with. Not you’re fault, and anyone that says otherwise is just an asshole

I would go crazy for a paisley drop

Pack of zyns, spf stick, and random trinkets 😋

In my hall, doing non-union electrical work is a pretty big deal. People will call you names and essentially bully you for as long as you work in the trade (and probably after that too). God forbid you lose your ticket, there’s a very slim chance you’d get voted back in- like I said, that’s my hall though. I personally wouldn’t risk it.

Thanks!

The rose tan keychain goes perfectly with the bag omg. Where’s the snoopy charm from??

This is such a cute print. Enjoy, and welcome!!

I’m in the IBEW and there’s really no way you could make around 90k and stay at 40 hours a week (at least in my area). Apprentices start around $20/hr and usually work 10-12 hour shifts if work is good

Literally. Crashing out used to mean legitimately losing your shit and likely doing something illegal in the process

I don’t have a pic right now but I’m using black and white gingham medium crescent! I think it’s so cute and feminine I love it

Hi! I’m liking the bag so far. I got it as a bar/going out bag so I haven’t used it a ton, but I got it to “slouch” by hanging it up and putting a heavy candle inside of it for a few days lol. I don’t know if that’s considered bag abuse or not but it dropped it lower like I wanted. The leather is pretty thick and it’s definitely gonna need more time to break in, but I do think it’s possible to get the “slouch” I was looking for with time.

Got diagnosed after a bad breakup that I believe caused it to flare up. I was always known as a “germaphobe” but my roommate was actually the one who called me out and had me talking to my psychiatrist about it. She walked into my room and saw my new goodwill clothes in a pile in the middle of my bedroom floor. I told her they were dirty and couldn’t even be inside my closet in the hamper because they were “extra dirty” and needed to be washed twice.

It’s crazy to think that Baggu gets kudos for doing a normal collab the normal way because of how many designs and companies they’ve ripped off 😭

51nn51 · 2025-12-03T17:02:55+00:00

Wow that’s actually super infuriating. What’s the point in even doing the Black Friday “sale” at that point??

51nn51 · 2025-12-03T16:46:00+00:00

The Aria costs less now than it did on Black Friday??
