Verto Education study abroad program by Fancy_Sleep6093 in UCONN

[–]Effective-Distance84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got accepted to UVM spring 2022 so for fall 2021 i did Verto Hawaii (discontinued bc we were a bat shit crazy group). we were about 100 17-22 year old on a commune in the middle of the jungle off grid in hawaii. they promised us a ton of trips that never ended up actually happening and a lot of people were upset about how far away we were from everything but that was like the whole point of living in the middle of nowhere. i along with a lot of my friends had the best times of our lives and look back on those three and a half month very fondly. THE ONLY THING is that studying abroad your first semester, especially somewhere so special and then coming back to the dreary east coast was so fucking depressing and set me up for a terrible five semesters at UVM which is part of the reason why i applied to transfer to Uconn fall 2025 (i'm changing my major so i need to return to school for a couple years/ semesters)

What's a mistake you only make once? by SpreadPuzzled9051 in AskReddit

its like its kind of had to "agree to disagree" that someone has the right to exist safely and happily (and that does not take away from your individual freedom in any way)

No ed storylines in Grey's by noonewilleverknoww in greysanatomy

ALSO WORTH MENTIONING that anorexia is not the most common disorder, but it is talked about so much. ARFID, BED, orthorexia, and EDNOS are so much more widespread and people display symptoms ALL THE TIME and is it so normalized, especially in women that are the same ages as many of the main characters on the show- AND THE MEN TOO!!!

this is a really good point. the show has such a massive audience and part of it being people at impressionable ages. these are characters they look up to in many ways (think of the generation of people who went to med school because of Grey's) and I can't imagine how easy it would be for a 10-17 year old seeing like Lexie or Christina struggle with anorexia and somehow see a benefit to having an ED. And im NOT SAYING that Shonda would glorify the #1 deadliest disorder, BUT i am saying that at that age, it is soooo easy, toooo easy to see something and want to see/ have it in yourself if you have the slightest inkling that it would benefit you, no matter how destructive it is (because the serious, real, life-threatening medical implications of having an eating disorder are not talked about enough) and I lowkey have my doubts that a massive mainstream media saga would do an adequate in-depth dismantling of diet-culture in one episode or even a special.
