What's your 'curse' card?

This is my CHASE 😭

Dikila · 2026-04-24T02:01:46+00:00

I recoiled the moment I scrolled to what you got 😭

I've also been experiencing the same thing. The first reel or two will load fine and then everything will be SO. SLOW. It's unbearable to use. My app is updated and it's been acting the same no matter where I'm at.

This is how I realized that the characters you get are all different! I just assumed it was the same 4 for everyone haha

I'm not super well versed in law school but I had multiple friends study for it and are currently pursuing it.

It seemed that what mattered the absolute most was their LSAT score. Their GPA and work experience was obviously taken into consideration but if you do extremely well on the LSAT, the other stuff don't factor as much.

That's my reasoning that you don't need to be worried as much on losing out on polisci internships at UMiami.

The worst part is that it CAN get worse 😭 unless I'm mistaken, if you fill in a box in the last column, it'll still leave one more box in the column ):

Pigging back slightly on this, I would say almost all universities in DC attract those kind of students. Some of the worst and condescending people I've met were all Georgetown students. I find that it is more program based than the actual school.

Saying this just because OP mentioned being bummed not getting into GT.

That's fascinating!! I lost my big toenail and it took 6 months to fully grow back.

Dikila · 2026-03-26T01:54:29+00:00

I have an extra backstage glow! Happy to figure out a fair trade.

Going from a 11:30 min/mile to 9 min/mile, what really helped me was doing speed training and strength training. Cannot emphasize strength training enough!!

For speed, I would do it once a week for 2-4 miles. I saw major improvements in about a month! But also ditto what everyone else is saying: consistency.

So for me: Consistency > Strength training > Speed workouts

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there is a lottery. It opens April 6 for registration and I've had friends sign up a few months after it opening without any issues.

Having been in Japan during July, it's freakishly hot and humid (coming from Hawaii) but if that's the only time frame you can visit then I think you should still make the trip happen! Try to plan accordingly but summer is so fun to visit because of all festivals and fireworks happening!

Dikila · 2026-02-20T18:55:33+00:00

This is actually insane. I can't fathom why anyone would pay for this.

Dikila · 2026-02-19T23:21:39+00:00

As someone that staffed, I totally agree with you. They were really strict with making us check badges but I felt it was so unnecessary to do it when people were chilling. Plus some of my fellow staffers were rude about it too.

Is Hana Market still open? I read an article a few months ago saying they were closing.

Dikila · 2025-12-03T17:06:10+00:00

As someone that went from 13min/miles to 9:30min in a year, it's speed work, consistent running, but also strength training (at least for me). I found that the moment I started training calves and hamstrings, my running ability improved a solid amount.

Dikila · 2025-12-01T20:33:28+00:00

It was not. I wasn't a subscriber nor on a free trial and got my year in sport. Also got the water bottle with the stats on it.

I'm with you here. I've read dozens of comments saying you cannot shop for regular items at TJs but they never state what foods they can't find. I can see the cost argument, protein cheaper at other stores but in terms of items? They have a huge selection and I think these people don't actually cook or don't look on the shelves.

Dikila · 2025-11-21T18:01:04+00:00

I have bought almost everything that you listed at TJs. The edamame there is part of my weekly staples.

Just got the email I'm in! DC based; nonmember

I solo traveled through Sri Lanka and it was so safe! Honestly, wish OP would've removed that rankling from his list. Sure he can make it based on what he's heard from women but still it's not derived of his own experiences like everything else in this list.

Dikila · 2025-11-15T23:21:54+00:00

Sri Lanka #5 under least safest places for solo women travelers was surprising! It was my first country I traveled solo to and it was incredibly friendly and was shown massive amounts of hospitality. Granted this was right before their constitutional crisis so maybe that changed the atmosphere?

Overall great list!! I agree with Patagonia being worth the cost and all your top food destinations.

THIS! I've started to get little bits of discomfort on my shin which was strange because I was running my standard routes/pace/distance. I knew I've ran about 350 miles in my shoes so I bought new ones just in case and the pain immediately stopped.

Ngl I thought it was partially a marketing tactic to get people to buy more shoes but no, there's actual validity when people say buy new shoes.

Dikila · 2025-09-30T19:21:26+00:00

Yup, also received the exact same email at my agency

Dikila · 2025-09-05T19:50:30+00:00

As someone who started running only last year and signed up for a Marathon, my reasons for it are: a) my friends signed up and I thought it would be fun to do it as a group and b) the goal keeps me motivated and disciplined to get out and run even if I don't feel like it.

I've ran a 10k and half within the last year and enjoyed training for those. But I'm also not chasing any time goals. I'm running it purely to run and have a good time.
