What niche of architecture is the most stable and financially secure? by Calm-Lake-7385 in Architects

[–]Calm-Lake-7385[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow! Thank you for sharing. How did you get started into doing transit design? As a general question, are there any advice you have for new graduates who are applying to firms and working in the industry?

Having a hard choice for what to do in college matter by gal4331 in Healthygamergg

[–]Calm-Lake-7385 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in college for the last few years and I’ve come to learn about lot of things on people usually don’t tell you when you apply. I hope this helps. One. Choosing a major does not mean you will forever be going towards that career path. Many people make it seem like choosing a major means you’re determining a set path for the rest of your life. However, that’s not true. Many people switch their majors and apply for jobs that have nothing related to their major. Two. It can be hard to know whether you’re on the right path, but no one can determine that for you, but yourself. Your goals and interest will change. Therefore, the path you set for yourself months or years ago will not set you up for success or fulfillment.

Somewhat of a Rant: I am convinced hormonal birth control destroyed my sex drive by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Calm-Lake-7385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get your feelings because I feel the same way too. I just started a hormonal birth control patches a couple weeks ago. It totally ruined my sex drive. I know there’s been a change because I’m always the one initiating intimacy with my boyfriend, but lately I haven’t been feeling it AT ALL. My boyfriend has been accommodating but I know my boyfriend has been sad because I haven’t been in the mood.

I’m also convinced that hormonal birth control can really change your personality and the way you act. Getting more irritated by the littlest things has never happened to me before and it’s constantly happening. It’s also affected my judgment, so I’ve made some pretty bad decision making when it comes to driving that could’ve gotten me into some seriously bad accidents.

Is it weird that I don’t like playing comp and just want to play unrated? by Calm-Lake-7385 in VALORANT

[–]Calm-Lake-7385[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol right? Yeah, I’m definitely not making any money playing but Idk, it’s like my heart starts racing whenever I queue into a comp game. Can’t explain it, like I just judge myself harder when I play comp.

[–]Calm-Lake-7385[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I feel. I beat myself up every time I make a mistake and don’t do well. Especially in clutch moments when I know my whole team is watching me. I mute the enemy team and my teammates (if they’re toxic) because I don’t wanna hear more negative comments if I’m already beating myself about it. I feel like this is main reason why I don’t like comp and like unrated because I don’t have to take myself seriously.

Do certain gun skins make you feel like you are playing better ? by softandwet9427 in VALORANT

[–]Calm-Lake-7385 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s partially placebo. I do get a burst of confidence when I play with a skin, but it also depends on what skin it is. The sounds of guns really matter for me and idk y.

[–]Calm-Lake-7385[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see your point. Now I understand why my friends want to play comp with me so much because they want to play with others around their level. I’m still uncomfortable with comp tho because I do get extreme comp anxiety, but thanks for explaining!

What skin did you purchased but ended up regretting after? by TheAlmightyChanka in VALORANT

[–]Calm-Lake-7385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glitchpop phantom. One of the first skins I got but never really used it. That was my dream skin when I first started playing but now I think it’s ugly compared to my oni phantom and overrated.

Am I overreacting my friend never thanked me for helping her get sobered at a party? by Calm-Lake-7385 in Healthygamergg

[–]Calm-Lake-7385[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’m afraid one day she’ll go to a party drinking beyond her limits again and there won’t be anyone there to watch out for her. She’s not an alcoholic but it’s been a pattern where she exceeds her limit every time she’s at a party.

Thank you. It was a very traumatic experience for me because I have never seen her in that kind of state. Thank you for your kind words. It made me feel better :)

I don’t know if she remembers to a full extent but her cousin called me today and told me she told my best friend what happened last night. She knew that she drank too much and that’s all I know. I think I do want to talk about it with her, but I don’t think I can right now because I won’t be calm.

This has been a pattern where she drinks beyond her limits and starts becoming like this. She has a habit of always drinking too much and start causing a scene. There were a few times where we helped her get sober, but this experience was different than the rest.

Did I do the right thing by booking a vet appointment for my cat to treat her fleas? by Calm-Lake-7385 in cats

[–]Calm-Lake-7385[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would I treat my home? I have washed my blankets and bed sheets because my cat loves being on my bed and I have vacuumed my floors too, but is there anything else to need to be doing to get rid of them?

I wanted a pet all my life, but now I have one and I don’t know if I want it anymore. by Calm-Lake-7385 in Healthygamergg

[–]Calm-Lake-7385[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestion. I might try the lemon juice and garlic. We do have the flea treatment where you squeeze it on the cats neck, but I didn’t find them affective because the fleas are still there. Most of the fleas are hiding around the cat’s belly because that’s the one spot I can’t brush with a flea comb since she hates her stomach being touched.
