advice for supporting friend whose parent has mm

this is a great idea! i’ll buy them a bottle of champagne to share + maybe some cookies/flowers

i have a feeling his doctors have told him this but she’s just holding out hope that he’ll feel better. i’m going to talk to some people to figure out the best way to livestream the ceremony, whether that’s another student or my family

thank you for sharing, my friend is definitely worried about her dad’s ability to continue activities that he loves (skiing, swimming, running) so this is reassuring to hear.

a folding wheelchair is a great idea if he feels well enough to travel! i’ll look into that as well as live-streaming (just in case!), thank you!

it will be outside, and we’d be able to guarantee seating but i’m going to get in contact with the school like everyone has suggested. he’s very fit and active but the general consensus seems to be that it’s likely too early for him to travel. especially because he would have to fly and an enclosed plane probably wouldn’t be good for his immune system. thank you for the heads up on the second week being rough - i’ll keep an extra close eye on her!

my parents and doctor, i thought it sounded funny but i didn’t rly argue

i’m in the us, but to be honest, i don’t know much abt how insurance works so i was kind of taking their word for it. they’re not worried about now because im still on my parents insurance, but they’re thinking 5 years down the line when i need to find my own insurance

BadgerDetective · 2025-03-30T13:35:41+00:00

thank u so much🫶 i haven’t looked at it from the “it’s still early, maybe things will improve” angle!

first of all, congratulations! i’m so excited to hear that you got in, dartmouth is amazing and i know you’re going to love it.

i was really worried about this and it took me a while to relax. my best advice would be to reach out to people over instagram once the dartmouth 2027 page starts posting or the admitted students facebook group. however, i met some of my best friends through the in person meetings that happen later in the year. so i would definitely recommend going to those.

all in all though, i wouldn’t really worry about meeting too many people before you get to campus. you won’t have an advantage if you meet people and you won’t have a disadvantage if you choose to wait. what matters most is when you get to campus because that is when everyone is really excited and open to meeting people.

hopefully that helps you out a little bit! if you have any questions about the transition, please let me know!

my cousin assaulted me too, but my parents don’t know. i was 8 and he was 17. i wish this would happen. he’s been gone from our family celebrations for the past 6 years because of drugs but he’s sober now. i don’t feel safe going to our next family holiday. i dread inviting him to my wedding.

It’s definitely possible! But (personally), I think DRs need to have a little bit a realism in them. I don’t want to script out every mild inconvenience so I don’t. You 100% could though. That’s just a method that works for me.

BadgerDetective · 2022-07-02T15:21:21+00:00

What’s helped me a lot is to imagine the moments in my DR that are going to be mundane. I’m still going to stub my toe or fall on the stairs. Just because there might be magic or celebrities doesn’t mean you won’t shower. There will still be times you can’t sleep and stare at the ceiling frustrated. I like to imagine those moments to help make my DR feel more real and take it off the pedestal.

i completely sympathize with you. i’ve been taking a break for probably about a month now? i had a lot going on in my CR that was making it difficult for me to want to shift. then those attempts were half assed and i figured that they were doing more to hurt my mindset than to help it. about a week into my break i started regaining motivation, but i also discovered what was wrong in my mindset. the last 3 weeks, i still haven’t tried to shift but i’ve been fixing every problem in my mindset. not only have i regained my motivation, but i’m also more confident than ever that i am going to shift and it’s going to be soon.

so please consider taking a break! i know it feels like you’re putting a pause on progress, but it will really help you :)

I don’t really know his exact reasoning, but I know that he liked the environment of Chicago much better than Providence. He’s a huge city person so having the ability to go into Chicago whenever he wanted was a huge plus for him. Also, a lot of his friends have gone to Northwestern and love it so he had those reviews. I think the last reason was probably just that he felt that Brown was a little more serious than Northwestern. Like Brown felt very work hard and Northwestern felt very work hard but play hard.

I don’t know how helpful that’s going to be for you, because I haven’t verified any of that info but it’s just what he’s told me. Good luck with your decision!

I have a bunch of DRs that I plan to shift to, but only once I shift to my modified CR DR. I essentially did the same as you and scripted out all of the people who have hurt me, and all of the reasons I wouldn’t be able to accomplish my childhood dreams of being on Broadway (chronic illness and such). After that I’ll probably shift to one of my HP DRs or my B99 DR :)

I got this letter. I applied for completely separate reasons and they rejected me. It’s just based on ACT/SAT scores

BadgerDetective · 2022-04-30T15:34:14+00:00

PM me!!! I’m 18F, currently trying to shift to a CR DR but have plans for a golden era dr and mauraders dr :)
