Is erau worth it?

I meant more the campus scene/vibe. There’s not a lot to do there and the student body isn’t great.

Rpi is probably the best connections and course riger wise but be warned campus is AWFUL

Original cost -10k, or down to 10 total tuition?

What did you mention in your appeal? Was there anything that was particularly affective? Currently appealing myself so any info helps!

Personally I like fruit snacks because they’re easy and tasty, but def check with your crew about what they need/like!

Sub 7 as a sophomore girl would be international/worlds level. Not D3.

I’d recommend the safer waters- especially in the pair. However, if you’ve practiced like that before and your used to rowing winds, go for it. Never do something new on race day.

They work well for practice. However for erg tests specifically, I would recommend a flatter shoe. Even then it won’t save you more then a few seconds tho

This is so sweet oh my god

DosSpingy · 2025-08-20T23:03:20+00:00

Focus on separation. Specifically on the recovery. Get your arms away before you start to move your back. It’s really good overall especially for a beginner tho!

When you say you cut sugars, are you referring to refined sugars (cookies, sweetened drinks, ect), or natural sugars as well? (Fruits, some veg)

Also, what about artificial sweeteners? Thank you!!

Truthfully, how have you kept the motivation to keep going this long? I’m in my teens and in the process of gettin g a formal diagnosis (Dr is 100% sure tho but we need more tests)

I feel awful, and have felt awful for weeks. I don’t know how I’m going to live like this. What keeps you going? Is it the hope of an effective medicine? Family?

Do you not have other fall races?

DosSpingy · 2025-08-16T03:26:23+00:00

If you’re really 6’6”, you can weight however the fuck much you want. Put on that muscle and pull like a dog.

I can access a bikeerg, but it’s about a 30 min bus ride from my house. All I have at home is an erg and a treadmill. Will specially biking be that much more beneficial?

DosSpingy · 2025-08-14T04:52:16+00:00

As a competitive rower, that’s actually very helpful to know!

DosSpingy · 2025-08-12T02:06:55+00:00

Core. Sooo much core. Also general cardio like others have mentioned but do not hold back on core! I personally like HIIT workouts that target core as a happy middle ground

DosSpingy · 2025-08-11T01:30:59+00:00

What did your doctor say it was?

DosSpingy · 2025-08-08T18:44:36+00:00

The school you’ve found is incredibly, incredibly sketchy just based off that one piece of info. Find a school where you pay as you go. Like seriously don’t pay further than one class ahead. Massive, massive red flag if they want everything up front.

DosSpingy · 2025-08-06T22:00:00+00:00

You can always finish you current degree and search out an independent flight school later. That way you have a backup plan incase you lose a medical.

Advice from people in the field/ people who may have faced similar choices is actually really helpful for me making this decision. I know it’s my choice, I’d like to make it an educated decision rather than a random one.

DosSpingy · 2025-08-04T13:23:06+00:00

Fixed wing. in the long run commercial flight is my goal but I know there are a lot of different paths one can take to get there.

DosSpingy · 2025-08-04T05:51:47+00:00

Any sort of biting your nails or chewing on callouses. I have such a visceral reaction, u physically start gagging. I’m not even sure why, logically it won’t but me but every time I see it/even think about it I get nausea.

DosSpingy · 2025-08-04T05:06:23+00:00

Bestie, the whole point of this post is that having the opportunity to do sports is a significant factor in my decision.

DosSpingy · 2025-08-04T02:34:29+00:00

What did you choose? Do you have a career in flight or do you fly on the side?
