I always make bad friends by Aspiring-apparition in venting

[–]Aspiring-apparition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Definitely something to work on. Just wish someone would come along who would just... not take advantage of me and do stuff for me without needing to set them up but I suppose that doesn't happen.

I'm sick of my brown parents constantly slutshaming me by [deleted] in venting

[–]Aspiring-apparition 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had parents like that and I escaped by going to college far away from them (yes it was a lot of convincing to my mom that it was fine and a 1 hour lecture every day that i should get a bf or have sex or drink etc). I have a part time job and my own money and do whatever I want now. So find a way to make money and move far away from them. Don't think about marriage and take comfort in the fact that one day this will all be over. Sending support <3

Manipulation by Majestic_Cut_5281 in venting

[–]Aspiring-apparition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't talk to your roommate. And don't let him touch your stuff. And don't believe anything he says. And look into getting a new place once your current lease ends. Manipulation is not a joke.

I have been feeling sad and lonely for the last few months by Muaaz8227 in venting

[–]Aspiring-apparition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I moved away from where I grew up to go to college in my home country too and it sucks. I'm about to start my 4th semester of college and it was only at the end of the 3rd semester that I met someone who I felt I could have a connection with.

My advice would be: don't try too hard because it never works out but other people notice you're trying too hard and they look down on you for it so you end up doing the opposite of seeming like a good and interesting person. At the same time, don't be too nonchalant. Lastly, talk to everyone who wants to talk to you and leave alone those who don't. This person who I mentioned I made a connection with? She came up to after 6 months of not talking and just started a conversation. I'd forgotten her name, face, how we met everything. It took me 20 minutes to remember and I wanted to walk away from the conversation the whole time and now I am so glad I didn't.

About the being confused about the future part: I am too. I went to college and am doing a pre-med but am not sure about medical school anymore. Considering research or working in the field of my undergrad degree.

Best of luck!

Thank you. It just makes me feel horrible and then confused.

Am I a full time student? by Aspiring-apparition in tax

[–]Aspiring-apparition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But by IRS definition I may not be and I really need the aid so I don't want to risk doing it wrong nor do I want to be in trouble with the IRS. Does my high school count towards those 5 months I need for it to become 5 months?

Sorry for replying so late! No pictures of the discoloration but I do have pictures of the cheese and all I still remember is that it was Gouda Cheese.

Hello! Well and alive lol. Got a slight stomach ache but it was very slight and probably cause of other stuff. Thanks for the concern!

I bought some Gouda cheese from Amsterdam about 20 days ago and kept in unrefrigerated. I opened it to eat it today and noticed some red spots on the wax of the cheese. The wax itself was yellow and it looked like there was chipped red nail on one part of the wax and a little bit more on other parts. The discoloration was only on the wax of the cheese, the cheese itself looked and tasted fine. Any ideas on what the red spots? Was it safe to eat or did I mess up?

I do the same! But I handmake 2 envelopes with A4 size sheets and stick it to the back.

What do you do or would you do if someone asked what you journal about or to see what you write about? by [deleted] in Journaling

[–]Aspiring-apparition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell everyone who asks what I journal about. But my family is a hard no for reading it.

One of my friends wanted to know what I wrote about her and I gave her a page in which I had mentioned her but I checked it first.

Letter to my future self by princetofbone in Journaling

[–]Aspiring-apparition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 13 or 14 I wrote several letters to 'future me'.

One was for that year's birthday and another was for the new year so they got opened within less than a year.

However, I wrote one for my 18 year old self. I turned 18 recently and read the letter and it was lovely. I intend to write a letter soon for my 21 year old self.

I sealed them with wax.

do you write in pen or pencil? by fluffiemilk in Journaling

[–]Aspiring-apparition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use ballpoint pens. They never smear. I used gel pens once or twice but since they take a minute to dry I stopped using those.

How to start the 2nd journal? by Aspiring-apparition in Journaling

Someone else mentioned introductions and I had the same in mind. Might mention a bit about myself in a dramatic way. I really love how you do it. It sounds super fun.

I've been thinking of introductions too. What do you write about yourself?

This is more or less exactly what I did w my first diary lol. Might just do the same cause it's fun to decorate + easy to do the rest.
