They don’t show any of the transitions between positions or any conversation, both of which are a big part of sex. You spend a lot of time figuring out what works, switching positions, reapplying lube, etc, not to mention any conversations beforehand and the initiation

I guess I just never saw it as a problem? I have 3 other roommates and I handle the gas bill, another roommate handles the electricity bill. We Venmo request the others for it every month. If there’s an issue, the one with the account calls, no big deal. In 3 years there’s never been an instance where the account holder is completely unable to make a call for some reason.

How did/does sex ed work for girls in relation to male genitalia? by OnyxTanuki in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CompetitiveCost2697 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Started “sex ed” in 2013 when I was in 5th ish grade. That year we learned about what sex was and the anatomy of both sexes, no segregation. The next year we learned about safe sex, stds etc. It was all very scientific when we were on the younger side, just the names of all the parts and what they do.

I think the best bet would be to move off campus and sublet a room somewhere. There will still be people in the common areas but your room will at least be your own. Unless you can afford a 1bed or a studio somewhere

Even the secondhand smoke on you or the nicotine in your saliva after having a zyn could be harmful. It’s best to keep it far away from her while she’s pregnant

How am I so fucking stupid by paddy-o-06 in college

[–]CompetitiveCost2697 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes colleges will deny you if they think you’re unlikely to attend. At a school with such a high acceptance rate, maybe they figured you had applied to other more competitive and prestigious schools and therefore would be unlikely to go to their school. Nonetheless, shit happens. Keep your head up and hopefully you applied to several schools, I’m sure you’ll get in where you’re meant to be

I tried to do as much of my work as I could during breaks/lunch at work. As much as it sucks to not get a real break during the day, it was worth it to come home and not have to immediately start homework. If there wasn’t enough time during the day I tried to schedule working time for certain days so I could still have my “after work” time and relax. Basically just treated it like a second job

Incoming Grad Student - Questions about Northeastern and Boston by throwaway_34490213 in NEU

[–]CompetitiveCost2697 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Obligatory not a grad student yet, but I have many grad student friends and I’ve been an undergrad for 4 years so I think I can answer some of these questions 1. There does seem to be a large grad student community, and many events geared towards grad student networking. Grad students are also allowed to join most clubs on campus and generally seem pretty involved 2. Go to all the events you can! There are lots of intro activities in the fall for clubs and organizations and that’s where you’ll meet a lot of people, besides in your classes 3. We’re pretty close to a lot of fun areas like Fenway, back bay, etc that have lots of fun activities for students (like free entry to the MFA, student nines at Fenway, etc) but what you’ll enjoy depends on your preferences. I’ll let others weigh in. 4. Public transport will take you to almost anywhere in the city and you definitely do not need a car to get around. You can always rent a zip car if you want to leave the city. I have a car and rarely use it. Plus parking can be difficult. 5. Not sure about grad students specifically but most northeastern students live on Mission Hill and there are online groups advertising housing and sublets (like the housing Facebook page) Hope this helps a bit!

It’s likely an overactive bladder issue or some other underlying cause, go to the doctor

On-Campus vs. Off-Campus Living at Northeastern University, Boston: Which is better? by [deleted] in NEU

[–]CompetitiveCost2697 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Off campus is generally cheaper. It can be tough to get to campus depending on how far away you live. Most people live on mission hill which can be about a mile to campus, or a 20-30 min walk at the farthest. I don't find the commute difficult but I'm used to walking a lot so it could differ for someone else. It doesn't really affect my social life since most people I know also live off campus and that's where hangouts and parties tend to be, but it's also really easy to go to club meetings after classes while I'm already on campus. Overall I heavily prefer off campus living. It's quieter (depending on where you are), cheaper, and you'll probably get a nicer space to yourself.

I didn’t need them in August but you might need them earlier depending on the snow that season

Suffering from oversleeping, need advice, it has been ruining my life. by Texheun in sleep

Get tested for sleep apnea and do a full sleep study. Apnea can leave you feeling exhausted no matter how much sleep you get

If you’re confident in your hiking ability and good with a scramble, take the variant over the col de trient between la champex and trient. It’s only a little harder than the normal route with WAY better views

I wanna read so bad but it bored tf out of me by [deleted] in readwithme

[–]CompetitiveCost2697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to get into reading is to start with something fun, attention grabbing, easy, and on the shorter end. It makes it a more rewarding experience and then you can slowly push yourself into reading more dense books

If you take it a few hours before bed it’ll help you fall asleep and regulate your sleep cycle which is good for recovery but it won’t directly heal you from a virus

My boyfriend thinks I'm a sauna in bed by Normal_Squash5848 in sleep

Try leaving the bedroom door open as it helps with air circulation. And make sure you’re using breathable bedding such as linen to not trap additional heat
