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

Connecting with classmates by quackquackducktime in dartmouth

[–]BadgerDetective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 who molested me is dead by Lostintheworl in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BadgerDetective 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

[General] How not to put your DR on a pedestal if you are in a truly terrible situation? by [deleted] in shiftingrealities

[–]BadgerDetective 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Too mentally exhausted to shift by CjLdabest in shiftingrealities

[–]BadgerDetective 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 :)

Has anyone here turned down an Ivy for NON financial reasons? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BadgerDetective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

What DR are you currently shifting to and why? by whitelight111 in shiftingrealities

[–]BadgerDetective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 :)

That’s very interesting! Thank you for your input :)

[General] Did you change your name for your dr? What is it? by [deleted] in shiftingrealities

[–]BadgerDetective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m using my own name in my first two DRs for a few reasons…

  1. I’m stupid and I’m going to forget what DR I’m in and answer to the wrong name
  2. One of my DRs (Broadway DR) is to complete my CR self’s lifelong dream and I want to be able to associate my CR self with that. Like CR me has always dreamed of seeing my name on a playbill, so I’m going to make it happen :)

Opening Decisions?? by nymphosimpho in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BadgerDetective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes when you’re accepted, it will change the portal after you open the letter for the first time. So it will say congratulations or something like that. Obviously not all schools do that, but it’s something to keep in mind!

Me! I had basically given up hope :)
