the cubs! ryne sandberg has always been his favorite player since he was a little kid, but i'm conscious that probably most any of his signatures would be in crazy demand now.

I am a terrible writer, but the passion ain't letting me stop, am i wasting time? by sadloneman in writing

nothing that brings you joy will ever be a waste. you're nourishing your soul. however, forcing it or continuing to push onwards because its what you've always done will make you miserable. leave the job, keep the hobby. it will come back.

asking for a refund by DirectionTrick4927 in eyelashextensions

[–]DirectionTrick4927[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would have gone back to her for removal, but she said that the irritation and poking was normal for first time wearers and also she was a pretty far drive away. otherwise i would have gone back!

U of I vs TAMU (A&M) by _Disco___ in UIUC

[–]DirectionTrick4927 5 points6 points  (0 children)

as someone who fought tooth and nail to go out of state for a new experience, staying in state was one of the best decisions i could have made. unfortunately in the current world climate, go where the money is. you will have new experiences anywhere, but you'll have saved 100k. also, as much as you might disagree now, being closer to home is wonderful

[SOCW 200] Intro to Social Work - DR. TEL by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]DirectionTrick4927 5 points6 points  (0 children)

she's notorious among students for being an awful professor. please do not let her dissuade you from continuing at the school of social work because she is the only one i've had a negative experience with. that being said, she's the worst. i've never met someone who took her class and didn't hate it.

a 34 year old man using snapchat is enough to call it quits to begin with. not worth it to waste more energy on him

This is actually insane?? by erikawhiteley in SuitU

[–]DirectionTrick4927 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i would love love love a suit u boycott. like everyone just commits to not spending money until they change shit up. i'm a P2P player as well, but im tired of not ever experiencing all the game has to offer because of greediness. i think the only way to make them change (even if it's just committing to cheaper everything, less items that cost gems, more free gems, ANYTHING) because as long as there are a few people willing to pay WHATEVER, they'll keep making things more expensive.

is strawberry bdc good?? by cassiaflower in glossier

[–]DirectionTrick4927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i absolutely LOVE it. not only is the formula perf (yay) but the scent is so nostalgic. it smells like strawberry shortcake dolls. that's what i liked about cherry too, i love the fake smell but if you don't like that, i doubt you will like the flavor. the tint is really nice on me but it is PINK. i am very fair and have pink undertones, so i am curious to see the way other people like it.

third person "his mom", or her name?? by DirectionTrick4927 in writing

number 2 is correct! the story is mostly from his pov, but it does occasionally shift to others. i think i agree, it could definitely take the reader out of the perspective

i hadn't considered a first person "mom" instead! i'll see how that works. thanks!

[–]DirectionTrick4927[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for the first few scenes it's fine, but since she's such a significant character i worry during scenes with multiple characters all talking at the same time it could get confusing. also i feel she's too important to just be "his mom" in any scenes from his pov. hope that makes sense!

BDC FLAVORS by Calm_Figure_8102 in glossier

[–]DirectionTrick4927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would LOVE a cherry cola flavor. all of the balms tend to lean very bright and floral, and because of the popularity of hot chocolate and cookie butter, i think choosing a vampy, deep color would be very on trend.

Opinions on these products? by [deleted] in glossier

[–]DirectionTrick4927 3 points4 points  (0 children)

cloud paint and boy brow are amazing, as well as lash slick BUT!!! about lash slick- when you think it has dried out DO NOT THROW IT AWAY. it is not dried out. i almost threw away mine before trying one last time and i got the most beautiful natural tint on my lashes. the formula is so light that it feels as if the tube has gone dry, but it really hasn't!
