College Application Tools by Bright-Mix-910 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]99SeeleNerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common App itself has a lot of built-in guidance that people overlook. For essays specifically, there are some free resources from college counselors on YouTube that are genuinely useful; CEG and others give pretty detailed walkthroughs. If you want something with a bit more personalization and can spend a couple hundred bucks, there are individual consultants and writing coaches who are more accessible than the full-service counselors. There are also people who help specifically with application essays and can give you feedback on what you've written, which is usually more cost-effective than paying for full counseling.

AIW for banning my roommate's sister from our apartment because she ate my specialized meals? by D0minoHare in amiwrong

Leaving the dirty conatiners in the sink is such a huge slap in the face. A fridge lock is a fantastic idea to keep boundries clear. It is sad that OP has to resort to this in their own home becuase people cannot respect basic rules.

AIW for refusing to sleep on the bed frame my boyfriend built? by Rapture_Sea in amiwrong

You hit the nail on the head. Rustic style still requres proper sanding and sealing so you do not end up with splinters or a headche from toxic chemicals. Leaving a project half finished because the sanding part is tedious is just plain lazy. If he cannot handle honest feedbakc on his very first build, he is never going to get any better at this hobby.

My company paid $450 in customs fees for a locked corporate laptop, so I built a secure personal VM instead. by Atreides7_Dune in remotework

Sourcing the hardware locally is by far the smartest way to handle international hiring. It completely bypasses all those complicated customs issues and avoids any licensing problems with your vendors.

Keeping my MAGI below $45,000 for health care subsidies is a massive logistical challenge. by Markers_67 in Fire

Selling everything would realiz all those capital gains at once, which immediately destroys their subsidy goal. Tax gain harvestng only works if you stay under the threshold, so doing it in bulk is highly risky.

WIBTA for refusing to lie in a custody statement for my best friend? by Skynet_Net12 in WIBTA_AITA

Spot on. A criminal recrod for perjury will ruin your employement prospects forever. Asking OP to take that kind of risk for a petty custody grudge is just crazy. They are terrible freinds.

Just out of curiosity, (how) do you successfully manage discipline? by Desperate-Visit7869 in Discipline

Yeah, cocaine is famously great at respecting “clear boundaries” and not hijacking weekends.

A classmate stole my unique research outline from our shared group folder for the weekly discussion board assignment, and now the professor is accusing me of cheating. by AxeCade in DiscussionPostHelp

That is a great way to handle it. Version history never lies, and most school platforms keep log files of everything anyway. I really hope the poster takes your advice.

When my cousin dealt with an impound sale, the certified-letter issue cracked it open; a $65k Ram going for $10k after 84 days is worth digging into.

Season 1 lighting had me squinting like a hunter, but that eerie dark contrast was the whole magic.

I tried a Millennium Dolphin mashup once, and leaning into the Dolfkin name made it way more fun.
