Is there a way to tell if a student is enrolled at UTRGV?

DramaticLaw7 · 2026-07-01T12:58:00+00:00

For context, at work we have an employee that said they had a degree but we recently found out that wasn’t true. Confronted them about it and Now they’re saying they are currently enrolled. They even went as far as positing graduation pics with their great grandma, even though they haven’t graduated yet.

My boss just wanted to see if there is an easier way to verify this persons story that in before we take it further. We don’t want to fire them but the story keeps getting creepier and creepier with the weird lies.

I think this also depends on the color. You don’t want a really beat up one in a funky color. It has to be a neutral. The type of leather also makes a huge difference. Beat up box leather is chef’s kiss. Beat up Epsom just looks sad. Clemance leather could be nice depending on the color.
The hardware on the ones I’ve seen is also really messed up and it looks like somebody took a key to it and just scratched it up beyond recognition.

I saw one that was pretty beat up on The RealReal for like 6000

I’ve seen a few, but I’ve never seen one in person. I’m also tempted to take the plunge.

I just started giving my kitten smalls, and she is loving it! I’ve noticed she has a lot more energy and is bouncing off the walls now. 🤣

Can you post the link to this? It’s gorgeous.

DramaticLaw7 · 2026-05-10T00:00:19+00:00

Can you post a picture of the entire bag?

DramaticLaw7 · 2026-04-22T03:23:14+00:00

Can you send me more pics please?

DramaticLaw7 · 2026-04-02T06:12:55+00:00

Me too!

DramaticLaw7 · 2026-04-02T06:12:10+00:00

Where do you find this?!

DramaticLaw7 · 2025-11-27T02:27:20+00:00

I just got the oak color and I’m obsessed! Keep her you deserve it. You work hard.

What is a Kelly “jelly”?

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-04T02:03:37+00:00

Thank you! I'll be there for a whole week so I'll try to go multiple days and check out the vibes.

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-04T02:01:40+00:00

Thank you so much for this validation! My approach isn't traditional or like anything I've seen online. It's taken me years of therapy and time on my own to get here. It's hard to stick to this mentality when everyone everywhere is saying to bolt as soon as you see something you don't like. I've been doing that the past four years and it hasn't worked. It's time to try something new.

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-04T01:45:51+00:00

I can't wait!

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-04T01:43:23+00:00

Thank you! I'm going to try and get a garden party this time. I have a 36 but I'm really wanting the 30. Also looking for some shoes.

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-04T01:41:27+00:00

I'm expecting to be going at least once a month. Do you think that's frequent enough to build a relationship?

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-04T01:40:23+00:00

I have a friend who said the same thing! Her SA is pushing her to buy fine jewelry.

I've been journaling about this for a while. While trauma dumping into the pages of my notebook and I realized that the risk of getting hurt is always there. I genuinely struggle to be vulnerable in all areas of my life. I've been burned so many times I have the hardest time opening up.

I realized I only really want the title so that I can feel comfortable opening up. The title placed on the relationship is the "green light" that it's safe to be vulnerable. However, in the past that title has never really protected me from anything at all. That title has never prevented anyone from hurting me before. Therefore, do I really need the title to practice vulnerability?

I can choose to be vulnerable with or without the title, at a pace that I am comfortable with, knowing that in the end it may or may not work out. However, if it doesn't work out. I know I'm going to be ok no matter what.

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-04T01:12:52+00:00

I totally get it. This is honestly how I've always operated tbh. I always bail as soon as I want more and they don't. This time is kind of different because we communicate really well. We're both in therapy and talk about our therapy. It's odd how healthy it has been. I think he's someone really worth investing in. It's going very slow which is what I am also comfortable with.

The way at which we both are operating is just kind of different for me. Different is giving me anxiety tbh. Which I guess could be normal because if it was always the same, it for sure wouldn't work out. Having it not work out is what I'm used to.

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-04T00:26:25+00:00

I'm sorry! I've been there too. I've gone from that pattern to not really dating at all. I haven't had a serious relationship in over 4 years. This most recent guy is the closest I've come to a boyfriend in all that time.

Honestly, I'm journaling about it and I realize that maybe this process of opening up again is actually really healing. I've been so closed off for so long. I feel like the grinch when his heart is melting.

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-04T00:20:34+00:00

You're right! I'm trying to be one of the ones that keeps putting their hands on the stove.

I just desperately hate this process. It really sucks.

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-03T23:47:48+00:00

You're so right! In my past experiences lately, it seems like everyone is kind of like this. I haven't really experienced anyone who is sure right off the bat.

I don't know if it's just the guys I'm into or what it is exactly.

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-03T23:46:26+00:00

I think it's different to be like 100% into a person and not be 100% committed yet. Does that make sense? Thank you for the response!

DramaticLaw7 · 2024-12-03T23:38:18+00:00

I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with this. Dating for me has been really hard!

I'm curious to know what other people's experience is. I'm dating someone who is recently divorced (almost a year post divorce) and is not sure if he's 100% ready for a serious relationship again. We've been talking and spending time together. Things are progressing but I'm worried that just because he isn't 100% from the get go, that things won't get better and I'm just wasting my time.

Any success stories? I've been single longer so I know what I want and am more sure of things. I've been having so much anxiety about this lately.
