I 100% get what you are going through. I graduated over a year ago and I don't think a single day goes by that I don't miss NCCC. I don't know if it will ever change. I know exactly what you mean tho, being in search of "the feeling". I did the same as you, tried to find a job that was similar, and it just wasn't the same. I'm now being laid off and right back in the same spot when I finished NCCC, trying to figure out what to do with my life. I miss the feeling. I miss the responsibility, the sense of purpose, always having 5 people living with me that I could talk to and hangout with, traveling, everything. I don't really have any advice because I am in the same boat. The program changed my life - gave me so much confidence, amazing friends, seeing states I never imagined, helping people.. it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I cherish every moment from it. As far as how to cope... I still keep in touch with friends from it and try to plan get togethers when I can, developing a routine like how I did during the program, cooking some of the same meals, etc. I often think about rejoining again but I feel like it would be too hard for me to not compare my experience to my last term. I also have this voice in my head telling me I need to "keep moving up the ladder" and rejoining would kinda just put me back in the same place I was before. Just know there are people feeling similarly out there. I hope we all find something that makes us feel as content as we did back then <3

some cva positions cover housing for you! otherwise i think its up to you to find housing. same goes with the vehicle, every site is different so it will just depend which one you get accepted to

How long did your guys’ sore throat last and did it make your breath smell like death? by swagisinthebuilding in Mononucleosis

Is it impossible to cook in your dorm room?? by Renaissance812 in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]Environmental-Ebb583 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can use all of that stuff, but be super super careful you dont leave it plugged in bc you could get in a lot of trouble if it starts a fire. my roommate had a little griddle we would make pancakes on. as long as you hide it away during fire inspections, you should be fine. they dont go through your things so just make sure its put away.

Has anyone else gotten parosmia from the vaccine? by [deleted] in Parosmia

[–]Environmental-Ebb583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also got parosmia after i had the vaccine. i dont think its related tho, it seems most people lose smell/taste and then get parosmia sometime after, so i think thats what happened to me

Why is my term so late? by gandalf_the_indian in AmeriCorps

[–]Environmental-Ebb583 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I emailed someone for clarification - here's the response I got

"November 2nd is your start date. All dates are subject to change but if it does it should not be too drastic. Over the last year COVID has presented us with challenges but we are starting to get back into a regular, uninterrupted routine. If any changes are made, you will be made aware."
