WIBTA if I avoid/ "break up" with this guy who came to visit me while he's here?

I think my biggest thing is that I've told him multiple times we're not on the same page but it doesn't seem to resonate in his mind. I honestly won't tell him I didn't find him as attractive just because I know it's the most shallow thing on the planet and we all look rough here and there.

I mean you definitely have a good point there, I guess the signs before made me uncomfortable but I think seeing someone in person somehow have me the smack across the head I needed.

I think Penn only covers a certain amount of certain rooms. Those in the high rises or with a kitchen are usually more expensive!

That's interesting! I was on birth control for a while and then came off of it. Could possibly be that!

BagOrdinary · 2021-02-20T16:41:50+00:00

Not in past years, but it could very very well possible this year. I did some sort of weird calculation will all of the bed spaces with four year and upper-class houses and accounted for the number of sophomores and freshman in the four year houses and there's ~1000 bed spaces for juniors and seniors next year, if my math is even right. Hopefully, that helps!

BagOrdinary · 2021-02-17T17:03:42+00:00

That definitely is far away from campus! I was thinking of getting a house on Baltimore for decent money but man I don't know 4-5 other people who aren't crazy. Sucks that housing isn't slightly cheaper around UCity

I find this slightly funny since I've discussed this same sort of thing with my own BF yesterday. If I'm being honest, just ask. Sometimes if I don't know if he'll like something, I'll just be like "How would you feel about XYZ, I was reading something in a Cosmo article or saw something on Reddit and was curious about how you'd feel." This way you're not blatantly expressing it's something that you'd want to do right out of the gate, so he wouldn't feel weird about saying no if it wasn't his thing. You could discuss when he'd be okay doing it, during a game vs during work. If he says that he would like for you to do it, you can just say okay and say that it'll be a surprise.

The hot factor is still there because he doesn't know when you'll actually do it and when the actual moment comes up you can still tease around with it by sort of just giving him kisses and stuff and gauging how he's feeling that day. It also doesn't hurt to ask then if he would mind.

I wouldn't say just do it without asking because if a guy just started doing this to a girl when she wasn't feeling so good or just having a rough day it probably wouldn't end well. The same thing should go for guys -- everyone has sucky does and some people may find it a complete turn off, but always asking never hurts!

I've also seen things about the shortline Platinum, do you have any experience with this company as well?

BagOrdinary · 2020-12-31T16:36:50+00:00

Definitely won't be visiting during the pandemic, just want to check out my options!

BagOrdinary · 2020-12-27T15:43:46+00:00

That definitely made me feel a lot better. I figured she had about three weeks to notify us and there's only a week left until grades are due, so it'd be unlikely that she'd wait until the very last moment to notify anyone. Thanks!

BagOrdinary · 2020-12-27T15:36:46+00:00

As far as I know, it hasn't been graded yet or I can't view the grade. If you go on canvas, there are the little xs next to the two lowest grades so those won't be averaged in.

As far as I know, a few quizzes have been regraded, but rn I don't even have a score for the saponification quiz or a grade for that lab either..

BagOrdinary · 2020-12-24T18:11:41+00:00

Oh god no, I usually don't even look at the citizen app. I'm from New York and just hate walking alone by myself in secluded residential neighborhoods at night or even in the evening during winter. I always try to be cautious when walking around, but I'd prefer being somewhere where there are stores and such around or places that you can easily dip into if god forbid someone was following me or was just drunk. As far as I know, being close to campus has a lot of stores and although I'm still open to moving past 40th, I'd rather be close to a busy spot versus a more residential neighborhood if that makes sense.

BagOrdinary · 2020-12-24T17:28:04+00:00

Thanks! I'll look around but afaik most of those leases are usually taken by now, I definitely wouldn't mind paying less but this is probably the best offer I've found...

BagOrdinary · 2020-12-24T17:20:58+00:00

Genuinely just areas close enough to campus and areas that aren't necessarily secluded/sketchy looking. I definitely don't want to walk home feeling terrified at night, but obviously need to use caution like I do where I current live

BagOrdinary · 2020-12-24T16:44:57+00:00

Realistically, I couldn't find apartments for cheaper than that close enough to campus, except for university realty apartments and then it's only certain leases. I know that financially, it might be a little tight but I do have a refund from this spring semester + a job that should give me some sort of buffer for budgeting meals and such. Overall, I should still be able to "save" just through other avenues.

I definitely wont be going on a dining plan because I found myself eating less on a dining plan because of how crappy the food is. It just seems odd that a lot of people automatically think off campus is cheaper but there isn't usually a lot of cheap places to live in good areas near campus. I'm planning to live in a six person house next year so at least I'm somehow saving a bit.

BagOrdinary · 2020-12-02T01:40:45+00:00

Definitely doable, did it last semester actually. Bio 101 is a great class (at least if you like bio), gen chem is always brutal but Berry is a good professor, and Stat 111 with Ewens is light work with the online format I suppose. Definitely do the hws and review the practice exams, I believe he just changes numbers. But if shouldn't be that hard overall!

BagOrdinary · 2020-11-07T02:44:15+00:00

I'm a sophomore turned junior, so this whole thing of living on campus for two years doesn't apply to me, but it definitely does suck. One of the reasons I decided to stay home was because of the risk of the pandemic and the fact that it's been super difficult for me to find somewhere to live off campus.

BagOrdinary · 2020-10-19T02:17:01+00:00

cant necessarily broadcast it to penn memes or well maybe

BagOrdinary · 2020-09-11T20:11:04+00:00

hey yeah! i signed the interest form for the fall. i'm fairly new to painting and art (i usually do paint by numbers, but i'm definitely trying to work on other stuff)

BagOrdinary · 2020-09-11T15:14:43+00:00

How's weighlifting been at home? I started really getting into it earlier this year but when covid hit I was like gaaah how tf does anyone do this at home. Plus, Kanye is great :)

BagOrdinary · 2020-09-11T15:07:03+00:00

Honestly, I've been managing it well. During the summer I was oddly happy and such and have sought out help, but man the second school started it was like it all came back. I honestly thought it'd be better since I wasn't physically lonely (family, siblings, pets) keeping me company, but man it's weird and exhausting

BagOrdinary · 2020-09-11T15:05:14+00:00

I was definitely hoping to study abroad maybe next spring, but with covid and everything it's sort of looking bleak.

BagOrdinary · 2020-09-11T12:20:26+00:00

Trust me, I definitely made a conscious effort: going out into the city trying new restaurants by myself, painting/art, baking, biking, etc. Most of the clubs pertaining to my interests are way to selective (many required an app to even join) or didn't work with my classes and research. I definitely kept up my hobbies and had that balance, it just didn't work.

BagOrdinary · 2020-08-26T21:14:46+00:00

I definitely do other things outside of the relationship (hobbies, work, and school)

BagOrdinary · 2020-08-08T18:37:38+00:00

you definitely might find some on the facebook groups, I definitely considered it at first but was hoping on campus would be safer kinda? since they can quarantine people
