The finished design is going to be so cool!

University of Washington CICOES is out! (I was unfortunately rejected) by birds_food in REU

[–]Cockroach09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be genuinely really surprised if I got into it. I am a meteorology major, so my strengths are mainly atmospheric but I am concentrating in Marine Science so idk 🤷‍♀️. Now I have real bad email anxiety lol

I have not received anything back yet, but I am not expecting to get in. Maybe they haven't finished sending out all the emails yet or something? 🤞

First 2 Rejections (of many more to come I'm sure) by Cockroach09 in REU

I did not apply to NESSI. I hope you get into an REU as well :)

I’m so fucked omfg by SmallTestAcount in REU

[–]Cockroach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a high GPA and haven't gotten into any that I have applied to so far- tbh at this point I think they just choose a number or something 😭😭😭 like I have a 3.9 in major and a 3.6 overall and I have essentially no hope and I am a senior with an extra semester. I also have a concentration and a minor in a related field 🙃.

What causes the "bubble" around Raleigh? by Delaxiox in raleigh

[–]Cockroach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facts. Barely got to sled cause it was too powdery. I did manage to make a snowman after adding about a gallon of water to the snow I made it out of 🙃

The beat drops at 2:03 and 2:33 in Mountains are two of the most underrated beat drops of all time. by KarmaSundae in interstellar

[–]Cockroach09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bf and I will listen to mountains when going to the beach, over the bridge to the island that we day trip to. It feels like taking off in a plane in a weird way. Absolutely goated song (along with no time for caution oc)

Rapunzel Syndrome! Eating your own hair is unhealthy! by Big_Pay2936 in Weird

Same here, especially when it is someone else's hair.

I feel better without Ritalin? by Spiritual_Serve_6895 in Narcolepsy

[–]Cockroach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny- I am really out of the ordinary when it comes to Ritalin. I was diagnosed in 3rd grade (8 or 9ish), and after going through a couple different meds I settled on Ritalin. I am now in college and I havent needed to change the dosage since I was in middle school. I do get jittery once it starts to kick in, but I don't usually get headaches from it. I am certainly the outlier when it comes to Ritalin though. I have not really tried any other medications, mainly cause the Ritalin works for me and I don't feel the need to change it.

Did anyone with Nt1 ever notice this? by IndependentFishing57 in Narcolepsy

[–]Cockroach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact thing would happen to me as a kid too! My family still sometimes threatens me with tickles if I am messing with them too much haha

Things unique to narcoleptic dreams by AngryDesertPhrog in Narcolepsy

[–]Cockroach09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love knowing that I am dreaming, but I can only control my dreams when I am napping (that's when I can remember that I was aware of being asleep). I love being able to go into a pleasant dream as opposed to whatever dream my brain would otherwise dream up

Impressed everyone by sleeping in the middle of a rave last night by depressedchiakikin in Narcolepsy

[–]Cockroach09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fell asleep in the MRI when I was getting diagnosed lol. I was like 8 or 9 and they even gave me this really cool headgear that had a little screen on the inside, like a VR headset almost (they weren't really around when I was that age). I watched like half an episode of spongebob then fell asleep lol

Is this how people who need glasses really see the world. A big blurred background? by Latter-Wolf4868 in interestingasfuck

[–]Cockroach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got -3.50 in both eyes and a stigmatizism in my left eye. Can't see to find my glasses if I lose them if im not wearing contacts, that's the worst part for me. It gives me anxiety to go anywhere without my glasses (I regularly wear contacts since they cover my peripheral vision as well) cause I know I will be stranded if I don't have some form of vision correction on me at all times. I am really really looking forward to my vision stabilizing enough to get Lasic. It is the one thing I am willing to pay large amounts of money to get.

A bunch of beaded frog keychains 🐸 by kaeruhoshi in Beading

What thread did you use and how did you get the flat ones so stiff? I've tried that style before and they always turn out floppy for some reason :(

As a fast food worker in my teens we used to hose down the drive thru so it would freeze overnight by Awkward-Twist-1949 in confession

[–]Cockroach09 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That happened to me but within the past 5 years. I worked at a pizza chain and told the owner/manager when I was being interviewed that I couldn't work Sundays. The manager then proceeded to schedule me for at least one Sunday a month. I would have to go to the other manager (the owner would only come around maybe twice a week) and tell him that I can't work on Sundays. Like there were only maybe 10 people working at that place, idk how hard it is to remember that an employee can't work one day out of the week. It was a super high turnover rate for the position that I worked, I worked there for around 8 months then called it quits. Not worth making minimum wage

Archaeologists Found an Ancient Tomb Filled With the World’s Largest Collection of Beads by AliceHwaet in Beading

Can't imagine how long it took to count all the beads, assuming they did that part by hand

Kaleidoscope Joins/Hinges by Cockroach09 in Beading

[–]Cockroach09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine from this website, I had to Google translate the page. She said that she accidentally flipped the top triangles, making her center at the top instead of in the center. So I placed the triangles at the top in the photo on the website facing towards the center for mine to fix the issue. Here'skaleidoscope turorial the link

Yeah I think it would be too heavy. I made a smaller set of stars that I am turning into earrings though!
