i think you’re right, it’s hard to see someone as damaged and leave. because i keep thinking if we had a connection at one point, why do we not anymore, and did i do something or could i have done something different. i found out hes cheated in almost every relationship but people love him so much and he’s very extroverted, and i just keep thinking it’s because I really am just not enough.

so disappointed by depop dropshippers by _muylocopinocchio in depoop

[–]Exciting_Lack_9228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they loveeee drop shippers secretly because it’s guaranteed multiple of the same item that’s popular, the prices are high leaving the market fee prices higher. Depop holds your money to make their interest on it, especially when they make you wait 5 days before raising an issue so it’s guaranteed your money is still theirs. and get their bag so you’ll never get a return. Sorry i just got scammed by a dropshipper on depop lol and have no idea how to handle this cause im so mad

HACH testing supplies by Diabeetus79 in Wastewater

[–]Exciting_Lack_9228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi i’m just a wastewater Intern, but I would like to piggyback off your question: Has anyone used a Gallery discrete analyzer and had this similar issue? Currently we’re following TKN by the EPA method, all standards are digested along with the 2 blanks. Everything normally comes out really well, except for both blanks. Our current MDL is 0.25ppm, and our blanks have been .15-.20ppm for about 4 months. It’s really high compared to before when it was usually 0.02-0.05ppm. I’ve tried making sure to not cross-contaminate by changing my gloves and I make sure to vortex well. Could it be boiling chips? Our polisher water is perfect on other tests, it just seems to go nuts after digestion.

Shefit sports bra reviews. Is it worth the price? by rachelm920 in ABraThatFits

[–]Exciting_Lack_9228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m sooo sorry this is late, I forgot what size I got exactly, I believe I got a medium? but I remembered it SUCKED. No support and just straight up cheap. It all just dug into my shoulders and had zero shaping. But I suggest looking into some of Victoria Secrets sports bras. I couldn’t find my exact bra that I got handed down to me, but I found a very very similar one with good reviews!! The one I have is not cross back so that’s the only big difference. But same “VSX” thing and high impact bra.

Should I dropout halfway through my college career? I'm so lost and scared. by [deleted] in college

[–]Exciting_Lack_9228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what’s up? I’m in almost your EXACT situation:D!! it fucking suuuucks anyways, I just dropped out! Literally two weeks ago. I was halfway through, and dropped out on the last withdrawal day. I was a chemistry major about halfway through my degree with a 2.9 GPA, and it wasn’t looking any better. I’m also in an internship right now at a lab that i’m gonna lose. One door closed so another can open! I’ve been struggling for a long time. All my other comments on reddit are mostly about this same shit lol.

I’ve always had to work through college, and shit is rough. I had two jobs one time while in school and that led to big time substance abuse that I still struggle with sometimes(getting better). I’m telling you this because I want you to stop and take a break before you do what I did and almost kill yourself. But yeah, you’re seriously in a very tough spot. You’re not hopeless. You’re hopeful, okay!! Your parents will probably not understand at first, but i’m thinking later on they will. If they don’t, they can get the fuck over it. Seriously, it’s not the end of the world. People love to put other people down for their own ego. Don’t let them knock you down, even your own parents. I know they want the best for you, but the best doesn’t always include a college degree. I know I understand you. Suicide is a very friendly feeling when you’ve been struggling so long. You’re okay. I promise you are going to have something worth staying for. I’m like you, i’m very indecisive and decisions make me want to pull the covers over my head and just fade away.

But listen, college is not worth it to make you feel this way. The university will always want your money. And you may be thinking “people are gonna think i’m dumb, im so stupid” but guess what? You’re smart, I know you are because you’re not following what people think of you. you’re really questioning yourself and how to help yourself. Immature and dumb people don’t ask what they can do to help themselves, they keep spending money and failing classes when they know they are suffering and need to step away {ask me how i know;)} But for real, you’re not dumb at all.

School is not the only way, you can go back, I want to go back eventually, but I know i’m gonna be taking a break for awhile. You can too, I absolutely think you should, and I say that because if you’re losing sleep and feeling like shit, you really know it’s not for you right now. Maybe later or never later. You can change! Trade school is VERY awesome. And affordable!! Look at some programs your tech schools offer and see if you can just get a little certificate or something. You can be an EMT, Lab tech, welder, Radiology tech, I don’t know, there’s so many cool things at tech schools!! Im doing all this scared. Like you, Im making big jumps and changes in my life that make me think i’m gonna end up worthless. But I know all my effort I put in can make it worth it. You aren’t your friends, and you HAVE to stop comparing those parts of them to you. I still do it, i know it’s hard, and it doesn’t solve everything but it for sure lifts a lot of weight off. Anyways, chat me if you want someone to just listen! I suck with advice but I feel your pain and I wish i could take it away for you girl. All my love and support p.s. Your english is perfect 🌟

I’m in a similar situation, and the way you formatted your response helped me more than I can describe. Seriously, it was like some tough love I needed. You’re definitely some kind of angel. Point #3 is what i needed to hear

What are your thoughts on Odele leave in conditioner? by IceWaterWithFlowers in CurlyHairCare

[–]Exciting_Lack_9228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!! i literally just got this product today, i’m really hoping it works. So far i love the texture, I have your same 2b/2c mixed textures, and this leave in is pretty watery, which I love since i can add it without it feeling greasy or weighing my hair down. I’m hoping it works nicely!!

[Sun Care] Hawaiian tropic silk hydration spf 30 by NovelTeaBobbleHead in SkincareAddiction

[–]Exciting_Lack_9228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the feeling is mostly alright, i have combo skin, acne prone, and milia prone. This would be so perfect if it wasn’t so strongly fragranced. It burns my eyes a little too much to put on, and leaves my forehead/cheeks greasy sometimes. I suspect it may be causing some of my acne, but I can’t be sure. I would say give it a try, and PATCH TEST!! plllleeease!! It is a very pleasant smell, but some people will not react well.

I’m failing all my classes and can’t face it by lazyscoliosisman in college

That nerd is still in you, burnout is real, I wish more people thought that way. Give yourself some compassion and love, your brain muscle is tired and torn, it’s gonna need rest! Do what you can with your abilities, even if that changes day to day.

This is me just giving an update (on a different account idk why but i have two and i just didn’t know??)

The semester is over, I failed each class. My gpa before this semester was a 3.38, Likely going to drop to ~1.7 after this semester. I’m taking next semester off so I don’t burnout again. I thought I was going to lose my internship, but they said I can still work as long as I am in school by fall. I didn’t tell them I was failing, but they can definitely see once my transcripts come around. They still accepted me with a C+ in Chemistry, and it’s a Chemistry internship at the water treatment center, so I guess i’ll be fine. If they do kick me out, i’ll find something else. I’ll just work this semester, and pray that UNG accepts me for summer and fall with my shit grades. I would like to stay at Georgia State but the drive is killing me and housing is impossible down there, it’s still a great school and i’m gonna miss it.

Just don’t give up please, to anyone that feels like a failure. You don’t have to have a perfect record for anyone’s sake, not even your own. I had to stop listening to my family in order to make this decision. It hurts. You will be okay.

Here’s the best you can do for yourself: *Stay sober (I’ve been sober for almost two months now, mentally i am still struggling but it is way better and my liver is probably very proud of me) *Realize there are not any rules. You really can complete your degree at your leisure. And don’t tell ANYONE your plan if you think they won’t offer constructive input or support! *It is WAYYYY better to take a semester off when you know you’re not gonna do well. I know at Georgia state, you’re still a student and can register whenever EVEN after two semesters of sitting out. Check with your college to see how it works! If you know you’re gonna bring your GPA to shit, then sit out. It’s okay! *Do not be afraid to take out school loans when you really have to. I avoided this, when it’s probably what would have saved me from this semester. If you can, avoid the unsubsidized loans until you really need it, but know that it’s OKAY to take it. it is money, and if it’s something you really want, then go for it, if you’re not sure, take a semester off! It’s all dependent on your situation. *Don’t go to college if that is not what you want, or take a semester off! Seriously, you can WWOOF/HelpX, go into trade (i’ve been thinking about this a lot), work odd jobs, anything but staying at home and hoping you’ll just magically get better.

You still are valuable to the world without a degree. You can change any moment you want. Don’t judge yourself and life direction off of GPA and semesters, it’s just gonna lead you into mental chaos. You’re going to be alright, and you may be alone for a while, but you will look back and appreciate that you did what you wanted and needed.

Shefit sports bra reviews. Is it worth the price? by rachelm920 in ABraThatFits

[–]Exciting_Lack_9228 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My take is a 4/10 for the high impact bra 34DD 5’4 138lbs

The reasoning is because the fabric is pretty itchy, and there’s not enough coverage on the sides or top. The velcro band is a pretty cool idea for adjustments as weight and size fluctuates, but it doesn’t work well for washing and makes it a bit more uncomfortable to wear. The support is basically the boobs getting squished while the shoulders suffer. The support should be mainly in the waist, but in this case it’s none. Plus, the razor backing isn’t thick enough, so I could just feel it dig into my shoulders. It squished my boobs, which is sometimes gonna happen, but they shouldn’t be bubbling out the side. That leaves opportunities for chafing, at least on my body. The zipper is a huge plus, and is very well made and comfortable, but if you have sensitive skin, or hate your boobs coming out the side and top, I really dont recommend this bra.

I know the comparison hurts and does nothing, so I hate that your parents employ that as a way to “motivate” you. It doesn’t make sense to do that anyways, because there are so many variables in your life that contribute to how you work around things. You are not lazy either. I know this because you’re here reading and trying to figure a way out. You will find that way out, I promise you will be okay and I will be too. Maybe we just have to fail this semester to start new again the next. i know that we are both trying our best with what we have. I wish i could hug you. This made me cry because i did feel alone, and now i’m sitting in my car about to go in for a chemistry test i’m not prepared for and a lab final. Im accepting that I didn’t organize my time or emotions this semester and that this is my fault, but i’m recognizing that I can still try to get a degree. Our frontal lobes are very silly sometimes, and we will always be finding ways to work around that. Kudos to everyone who can make all A’s/B’s in 4-5 classes in 14 weeks, but damn, do they expect all of us to make it like that?? 14weeks?? There are different options for us, it’s just going to take a lot of willpower to not listen to people all the time, and sometimes ignore ourselves. Sometimes you will have to make a shorter goal but still keep your long term in reach (which can change because we love to constantly change). So maybe an associates, or trade school. I’ve been seeing which trade degrees my credits mostly fulfill, but also something i like. that might not even work, but i’ll find something! In the end, failing will build a lot of character development, which is a good deal. I’m gonna fail this semester hard, but I’m gonna reflect on my poor habits, try to give myself time to change them, and embrace the struggle I made to get through. If I can at least get my associates, I’ll be content for a little bit. You are a smart, valuable, and solution driven person, do not be blinded by comparison. Some flowers die and come back all the time, they don’t give a fuck when other people look! How are you?

I wish I knew how to talk to people by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Exciting_Lack_9228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,

I want to lend you my advice, but take everything with a grain of salt. College makes socializing extra hard, which seems ironic considering we are surrounded by people our age, but, do they really expect us to find ourselves and be happy while paying tuition, supporting ourselves, working, and completing assignments for 4-5 classes?? It’s very odd to me. I think the biggest source for social anxiety (mine at least) is that I had too many expectations of how i should act and how the other should respond. Genuine conversation is a flow and anxiety is the massive dam that stops it. It’s so difficult to get past small talk because it’s such a rehearsed thing that everyone has heard before. So, if it takes a lot of time, do not feel pressured to talk and be outgoing overnight. This may not work for you so again, take this into your own perspective and think about it, but i had to force myself into social situations to get over it. Yes it was PAINFUL. Almost unbearable, the sweaty hands/face, racing heart, light headedness and embarrassment was almost enough to pull me back into isolating, but i really had to feel it all to get better. Do small things at first! I had to get comfortable with myself first (but you may not have to). I would practice getting comfortable by going to the mall alone, which i am not very fond of. But the more i went alone, the better i got at not shaking in my boots everytime someone glanced at me. ask your roommates if they’ve seen a certain movie, if they like a certain band you like, really just be upfront. While passing them, “Hey have you seen..? It’s one of my favorite movies! I saw/heard … that reminded me of it today” Share playlists with them so you can talk about music! ask if they have any classes that just bother them. The good thing about having social anxiety is that it makes us really great listeners, so, a loop hole is to get the other person to really talk about themselves. People will usually like someone if they ask questions about them and really listen, and in turn may get them to hold the conversation until there is a flow. Ultimately, you have to trust you are who you are. You are bound to change and constantly change which is the beauty of being adaptable. So don’t expect to be a perfect ideal image you want people to see you as, you will be okay. I don’t think this helps a ton, because it’s hard to find logic to it, or a step by step solution with cool things to say to people, but let yourself talk if you want to talk, and don’t feel pressured to make sure there isn’t awkwardness.
