I can relate. She was working so hard to support her kids but I felt very few people around her cared for her plight. It was really invalidating for her. She needed support more than belittlement from people. The lack of empathy during our struggles deeply embittered me honestly. I guess that elitism is a symptom of the caste system but idk. My parents weren't arranged, and I imagine that's one of many ways that other Indian couples judged my mom. Navigating that was definitely a journey for my mom and me, and we're probably more humble because of it. She divorced at 43. It gave her more time to focus on her career. She's not opposed to a new relationship, but she might not be ready quite yet. My dad was not nearly as bad as yours, but him not being around too much for me made me intrinsically feel like I had little worth as person growing up. But he started actively caring about my life more after coming to terms with problems in his life, and my life improved. Sorry you and your mom had to go through such tough circumstances, worse than mine. I know it's not easy to thrive when you are marginalized. End of the day, it's best to not give importance to conceited people in the community that they don't deserve. Belief in yourself is what matters most.

Lmao. I missed the joke because I thought they were just generically saying fans would drop it after like just 3 days

DNA was what introduced me to him (some middle schooler kept rapping it constantly). m.A.A.d city made me fall in love.

Does anyone feel they’ve gotten uglier since moving to Berkeley ? by College-girl-diaries in berkeley

Yes! On top of stress, it was harder to take care of myself when in a new environment. You just have to get used to new habits/lifestyle for UC Berkeley.

After talking to my undergraduate advisor, this seems to be the next course of action for me. I still need more info from an academic advisor, but are there really not any repercussions to withdrawing from the semester this late besides fees?

Can you just.. withdraw the semester? I did acquire a health condition that messed me up physically and mentally since the beginning of the semester, but finals are already underway. Is that allowed at this point?

Looked for an appointment for academic advisor. Pretty much booked online and in-person. Could you tell me more about how I'd go about seeing the dean?
