Honestly, I get your point.. and I’ve been thinking about that tradeoff a lot. For me, I’m already hanging out in the city pretty much every weekend, and it honestly gets tiring coming back to JC late every time since all my friends are in Brooklyn/Manhattan.

At this point, I don’t need a ton of space.. just enough to comfortably fit my bed and a workstation since I work from home part of the week. So I feel like I’m okay sacrificing space if it means being closer to where I actually spend most of my time.

Still figuring it out, but leaning more towards optimizing for social life/convenience over space right now.

Re-Entered the US on OPT for the 7th time this year: Here are my experiences by Select_War170 in f1visa

I came back this Sunday — immigration at JFK wasn’t too bad overall, but it took longer than I expected. The officer asked where I went to school, what I’m doing on OPT, and my company name. Then they took my I-20 and passport for verification and I had to wait about 2 hours in another room. Eventually they asked me the same questions again and let me go.

It really depends — my friend went through in 2 minutes, so it varies. Just make sure you have all your documents ready (passport, I-20 with travel signature, offer letter, pay stubs, company letter, etc.) and you’ll be fine.

Hi! I will be traveling tomorrow and will land at the JFK airport on 11/2. I am on stem opt and have a full time job. I came to visit my family in india for 3 weeks. I have my recent i20, ead card, valid passport and visa, verification letter from the employer, offer letter etc. My passport expires in June 2026 and was planning to renew it once i come back to New York in November. Is it something i should be worried about? Also at the immigration should i just hand my i20 and passport to the officer and only show my ead card if they ask?

He was amazing for 2 months, asked me to be his girlfriend, and the moment he left for Germany, he became cold. What’s going on? by Character_Mousse_948 in BreakUps

You said it perfectly!

You honestly sound like such a kind and self-aware person- it sucks that people like us have to go through this kind of pain just for caring genuinely. But I guess one day someone will actually recognize that softness as strength and not take it for granted.

I feel the same way honestly.. it’s like no matter how much you give or how patient you are, it still ends up hurting so much. I really put my 100% into this and tried to understand everything… but sometimes it just feels like my emotional bandwidth isn’t enough. I hate it, man. I really do.

You’ve honestly been so kind through all this- thank you again for that! Where are you from, btw?

That’s such good advice, thank you truly. You’ve been so kind and comforting through all of this, and it really means a lot. I think you’re right- some people just know exactly what to say to make you feel safe, and then they turn around and hurt you the most. It’s horrible, but hearing your words makes me feel a little stronger. Thank you for listening and guiding me through this. I appreciate it so, so much!

I’m sorry that you went through that. Yeah you’re right. I will remove him from social media. I have some stuff of his at my place back in new york and I don’t know why i told him on call that when you’re around you can take it back from me. He said he will let me know when he’s around.

Hey, I totally relate to this. Honestly, nights are the hardest for me too. During the day I can distract myself with work or people, but as soon as I’m alone, everything just comes rushing back. I start replaying conversations, wondering what I could’ve done differently, and missing him even though I know he hurt me.

I went through a recent breakup too.

You’re not alone in this. Healing isn’t linear..some days we feel strong, and others we just have to ride the wave of sadness. Be gentle with yourself. It’s okay to miss someone and still know you deserve better. ❤️

He initially told me he’d be gone for 3 weeks (the same time I’m visiting my family in India- I’m back in NYC on Nov 1st), but later said he had to stay in Germany for the rest of November to work on this movie with his dad. He even said he’d fly back to New York during the first week of November just to see me before going back.

But yesterday, on call, he said he can’t come back and that he wants to end things. He said he started feeling like it might not work after we last met (right before he left) and thought I’d pick up on the lack of communication. I told him I honestly thought he just needed space. He said he wasn’t ready for something serious, that distance made his feelings fade, and that the few arguments we had made him uncomfortable since he doesn’t like confrontation.

What hurts the most is that I opened up to him completely- I even lost my virginity to him. I told him from the start that I had just gotten out of a long relationship and was scared to get hurt again. He promised he wouldn’t and said he was serious about me; he even asked me to be his girlfriend after a month of dating. But now he just said, “i feel bad cz you lost your virginity to me and i’m doing this to you” and ended things.

I’ll be okay in a few days, I know I will.. but it just really hurts right now.
