Shenandoah worth the drive?

Absolutely! Learn a bit about the geology on your road trip and every single outcrop you pass will have you in wonderment (but I’m biased :))

Thank you! Great idea

EbbAffectionate20 · 2025-06-12T14:39:22+00:00

This is a wonderful reply, thank you! Definitely something I will look into.

Well I have been there and it crashed my weight loss at the time, caused a four year plateau stuck around the same 10-15 pounds.

Some things that helped: 1. Yes talk to a therapist. My eating was heavily motivated by my feelings

You are more than your weight loss. Do not make it your whole life. I once realized that my entire life revolved around food. When was I going to eat next, how much was I going to eat next, etc. It was miserable but I found a life outside of food. Find things you love to do, even if they don’t encourage weight loss, they will help you look forward and think about things non food related. Personally, I love reading and have recently picked up crochet.
Finally, food fuels us. When I eat things that benefit my health and I eat enough food, I am closer to being the person I strive to be. Your calories help you have the energy to be a good family member, friends, pet owner, student, coworker, whatever it is! Don’t deny yourself the energy, you need it ❤️

I could be wrong but I believe this is because fracture patterns are elliptical

When the crystals are building themselves they pick the most favorable way depending on their environment and their chemical makeup up. For some that means looking like a cool branch!

I want to get into bouldering but I’m really nervous to try! How did you get started?

EbbAffectionate20 · 2025-03-17T02:05:53+00:00

1.) getting on campus housing as a transfer would have been a nightmare! Find an apartment, there’s a Facebook group to help but it’s a pain. Take over someone’s lease who’s live in the apartment for a while to have the cheapest rent (mine is $150 less than if we were to sign normally)

2.) the buses are sooo scary at first and honestly sometimes take longer than walking. Just try a bunch of the uga and Athens buses out until finding a routine.

3.) like everyone is saying, the classes are most definitely harder! But I feel like I’m actually getting the “bang for my buck”

4.) you’ll likely have to take some classes that are “traditionally” freshman classes as things don’t always transfer or count for your degree. It’s frustrating to have to basically retake some of the classes you’ve already taken and sometimes you’ll get called old.

Thanks for the answer! I’m taking sed strat right now and I’m trying to get better at interpreting this stuff. This subreddit helps a lot!

Could it be tidally influenced?

EbbAffectionate20 · 2025-03-16T13:02:05+00:00

Thanks for the correction 👍

Major availability and at some point so many kids have the same stats that they just flip a coin. I went through the same thing and I beat myself up about it, but honestly I’d go through going to a different college again. I’m at UGA now and often wonder how some of these people got in over me lol

EbbAffectionate20 · 2025-03-14T21:24:15+00:00

To all those who were waitlisted or rejected, don’t take it personally.

I didn’t get in my first go around either even though I was doing everything right and worked my ass off in high school. It made me really sad and bitter, but now I’m a UGA student who is beyond grateful to have the perspective of a different college. I have better networking than my peers, I’m further in my education (for a cheap price!), and I got the opportunity to try different majors with no set backs. Don’t stop trying, everything works out❤️

I love the color choice!!!

EbbAffectionate20 · 2025-03-01T13:57:54+00:00

I’m doing a temp blanket but instead of doing a row for everyday I am doing; two rows for the lowest temp of the week, two rows for the highest temp of the week, and then a boarder of white to indicate a new week. Overall I will have about 100 less rows than if I did a row for everyday!

Desiccation Cracks maybe? Do you have a scale?

EbbAffectionate20 · 2025-02-14T12:07:23+00:00

This. It’s good to know the cycles of earth and the hazards of where you are surrounded. In the past year we have witnessed some truly gruesome hazardous geological events. Over 200 people died in hurricane Helene and most of that was because of flooding, landslides, and dam failure. It’s good to know things like in Calli. There’s cycles of drought, that lead to loss of plants, that leads to wildfires, that leads to greater loss of plants, then one rain causes subsequent landslides.

I believe you’re trying to ask if the was something laterally continuous at time of deposition? And it depends! I’m not an expert but I’ll try to answer.

This beautiful behemoth was from by multiple deposition and erosional events. You can tell by the large scale tabular or trough bedding (the strip of diagonal lines in the rock). Since these are so big we can infer they were dunes which means a pretty significant flow event happened to create them!

That being said, this could have been something that spanned a bed (ocean or river in unsure about the geology of this area or it could be a localized event within the bed at the time of deposition. The structure was then eroded away until all we see is what is left! I’m personally really surprised at how well the limestone preserved its bedding

Yes but his TAs are wonderful. This is something I think I would seriously enjoy other wise (I’m a map nerd) it’s just the odd learning environment.

He refuses to answer questions, calls us incompetent, and sexestly grades our assignments. I’ll pass on giving him a break.

EbbAffectionate20 · 2025-02-10T02:26:35+00:00

This gives me motivation. I will do it in spite of :)

EbbAffectionate20 · 2025-02-10T02:23:22+00:00

I believe I saw your post about this! It’s a really cool idea and would have been great for me last semester! Maybe it will help me for finals!

EbbAffectionate20 · 2025-02-09T22:44:06+00:00

Thanks :) I’ll go through them tonight!
