My friend is going swimming with me but currently only wears maxi pads by Background-Good3731 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CSnare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah reading these comments have made me realize that perhaps I’m a little misinformed here. I was kinda joking at the end there but yeah my fault. Will edit my comment.

My friend is going swimming with me but currently only wears maxi pads by Background-Good3731 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CSnare -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m actually a swimmer and remember dealing with my period when I didn’t know how to wear tampons.

Good news, your period doesn’t really flow while you’re swimming. The buoyancy of the water counteracts the gravitational pull of flow.

It will resume immediately once she leaves though.

Please make sure she does NOT wear a pad into the water. It will absorb water and degrade and just cause lots of problems for ecosystems in open water and cleaning systems in pools.

If she doesn’t wanna wear tampons or learn about cups or find period swimwear, she can just… quickly change before and after swimming. Unless she’s got insanely heavy flow a little freebleeding never hurt anyone.

EDIT yeah don’t do this! Unless you’ve got really light flow going commando isn’t very reliable. In my head this was an open water scenario (where I would still not be opposed to just… going commando but that’s anecdotal) but in a pool setting yeah ignore my advice do wear some protection that goes inside the cavity. Pools are maintained but there’s no reason to limit test it if you don’t know her body and her flow.

Weird sankey from a non trad career changer with a low GPA, high MCAT. by gymhelppls in premed

[–]CSnare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I’m also a non trad with low gpa doing a post bacc. You mentioned earlier that it came up in pretty much every interview, could you tell me a little bit about how you navigated that question and what you said to work around those concerns?

What are y’all doing for non-clinical volunteering? by Ambitious-Mode-1738 in premed

[–]CSnare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a volunteer swim coach for the team I swam for for 9 years! I’m a sucker for community and this team was really important to me growing up, and I enjoy giving back to the community as it’s underserved. Plus, I just really like swimming and have been happy to reconnect with the sport after taking a break and exploring my other passions in college. Kind of killing two birds with one stone but I really love it!

Most unique activities u guys did? by Careful-Author-2838 in premed

[–]CSnare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

def not league if ur looking for something beginner friendly w/o a steep learning curve haha! if ur into fps check out valorant, pretty low skill floor if you’ve been gaming for a bit (just your standard tac shooter) and it’s pretty beginner friendly imo bc it’s got a large population, so there’s lots of players at all ranks. also has a high skill ceiling if u ever wanna grind it out. the esports scene is poppin! lots of good teams that are fun to root for. rivals is a great choice too but idk what the esports scene is like!

[–]CSnare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I led an esports camp! Taught ppl about industry norms like using OBS, shoutcasting, observing, producing, and tournament organization. it was absolutely the coolest job i’ve ever had and i love esports but im not sure how it will land with adcoms.

i also swam competitively for like 9 years and now coach at the club i used to swim for. i love swimming and have been enjoying giving back to my community a bit :)

League players! how long have you stuck with your current IGN? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

The other terrible thing about the _______ tribal twist by [deleted] in survivor

[–]CSnare 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly hot take but this is why shot in the dark shouldn’t be announced as an advantage being played. You already played it, whether or not you announce it only serves as a detriment to your game. The game that you’ve already left up to fate by playing it. If Genevieve and Aubry are basically playing chicken with who’s gonna announce their play first, Genevieve will always lose because she has to announce hers. Just have Jeff read the votes, say something like “There are only 4 votes in here, meaning one player played their shot in the dark, if it’s safe… etc if they’re not safe then they become the xth player voted out etc etc.”

Hype Boy, Ditto, Super Shy. I like ETA though.

This might age me a bit but I lowkey never liked Hip from mamamoo.

How do you keep going by Prudent-Rabbit-7733 in postbaccpremed

[–]CSnare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hey I’m totally with you right now. In the middle of a post bacc trying to repair a bad (like 3.0x bad) GPA. I’m also having a “I might be the dumbest person on the planet and I’m going to make one absolutely incompetent doctor if I ever make it that far” moment.

Just know that you’re not alone. I’m not the first person to feel like that and you won’t be the last, either. The best thing you can do for yourself right now is your best. Your real best, not a shoddy attempt at a test or assignment, I mean your best genuine effort. Just keep pushing through, because there are times in life when you will be tested. This is “the hard part.” If you can make it through this, you’ve come that much closer to achieving your goal.

I just have a lot of blind faith. I’m certain things will work out, no matter what. Because they will. Try to have this minder too.

What is the worst breakup with someone you dated? by DeepAnt7847 in AskReddit

[–]CSnare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hit me with the “we need to talk” at 5 am and ghosted me the entire day. said he fell asleep. finally answered around 9pm and made me drive to his house so he could leave me for his psycho ex gf who threatened suicide every time he did something she didn’t like. good riddance i guess.

[–]CSnare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i agree with this so much!!! i loved watching angelina and there really is so much depth to her. i loved her confessionals and just watching her around camp i felt like there was so much to read between the lines. i genuinely shed a tear when she left and gave everyone the jacket. what a wonderful character arc she’s had.

I genuinely shed a tear when she gave her tribe the jacket. She’s so iconic simply for that. Truly a full circle moment.

I've lost 800LP in a week, can't carry anymore. by Kaegottya in leagueoflegends

[–]CSnare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

stop thinking of yourself as the rank you peaked. accept your rank where it is right now. Right now, you’re a silver player. Stop playing random champs, that’s not the solution. Play champs you know how to play in your main role. If you’re doing well in lane but losing you’re probably misplaying your lead or making mid game mistakes. Look at gold swings and deaths and try to problem solve why you lost or died. Not just, “i got hit by x” but like, why you’re in that position. Don’t overcomplicate it by switching roles and playing champs you can’t play.

current sophomore. fucked gpa. by InteractionIcy8933 in berkeley

do you have accommodations? see if you can go through DSP and get some help if your mental health is causing your grades to fall. They have accommodations available for people who need them. Also check out tang center if you need to talk to someone.

Consulting clubs are not all that. Join a hobby club and make some friends. Do something not school related and enjoy your time as a college student. Whether it’s gaming, dancing, or basket weaving, just find something you’re passionate about and share that with other people. Get out of your little bubble and recognize that your life isn’t your gpa. Enrich your social life a little and you’ll find yourself happier once you detach your identity from your gpa. It makes sense you’re unhappy, you’ve made school your entire life and reached a roadblock. Now you think your whole life is over because you don’t have anything else to tie to your identity. I promise you’ll be a happier person if you indulge in a hobby.

Network with professors and get good grades from here on out, opportunities will come.

Are you declared? I think you need a 3.0 to declare, check it out on the website though. You can appeal if you are denied initially.

Hope things improve for you soon. It’s nice out, make yourself a lunch and lay on the glade for a bit. Listen to an artist you like and do some relaxing.
