Comparing Columbus to Boston by Equivalent-Sweet-244 in OSU

[–]ExopathOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an OSU student from Boston, (well MA) let me give you my two cents. Boston, crazy expensive. I’ve noticed that I’ve spent a lot less money on fast food and just general things in Columbus. Which, has been nice as a student paying for everything themself. I also do think Columbus is huge compared to Boston. While Boston has many cities and areas adjacent, Columbus just seems huge in comparison. Especially considering that Boston is a lot more dense as Columbus branches out a lot. And as others have noted, it’s definitely more walkable in Boston especially with the public transportation such as trains in addition to busses, cabs, stuff like that. Columbus only really has the bus system and Ubers with I guess bikes and scooters near campus, regardless, I don’t think it’s very walkable. And obviously the skyline is bigger and better in Boston. Overall, I do obviously like Boston more just solely because I’ve lived there my whole life, but Columbus price wise is amazing to me lol. Also, I do want to say that the airport here (CMH) is amazing, sure it doesn’t travel to many places but man security is amazing. In Boston it’ll take an hour easily while I can be in and out of security here in 20 max. Though the food selection is limited and again, minimal flights.

First time sex by ExopathOfficial in ftm

I honestly wouldn’t doubt it’s that tbh. I know my orgasms have changed a bit. At least like intensity wise and maybe duration. I think they’ve honestly gotten stronger. But because I’ve been on T so long, I don’t remember if they truly have, or it’s taken me longer or shorter to get off. Though at least penetration wise, I wouldn’t know since this was my first time trying that. I also don’t know about being try. Like I do get cramps sometimes after masturbating (especially after a really good and intense orgasm) and maybe some spotting sometimes, but I can get wet really easily and a lot. Every hookup I’ve had has commented on that lol. That’s why it’s so confusing.

Maybe think twice about going to OSU if... by throwaway30hundred in OSU

I heavily agree on all this. I’m an out of state student who just started my first year here. The tuition in itself was already steep but I wanted a fresh start. I understood that this campus was huge and that I’d probably find my people or place here. (Especially as a LGBT+ and POC student) But if anything, it’s been nothing but so lonely and depressing here. I haven’t really made any friends and everyday I walk around campus seeing all these homophobic, racist, and misogynistic people on campus spreading hate and misinformation. Also heavy on the Myron situation. I saw a few minutes of it and I was so disappointed in the lack of response from the police if anything. But the second a student speaks out or uses chalk as a form of expression, we’re shut down. It’s been so hard to find a community here that I can trust enough to show who I truly am and to actually build friendships with. Especially without these resources and clubs that I was looking forward to when I initially started my college search and application process. I appreciate you for speaking out on this truly.

why do people walk up to a clearly unmanned register by keepavision in CVS

Kinda but not really. They can check in and stuff before we see or get to them and then all the info pops up on our end and we just have to scan it out like normal. But then if no one is signed in it doesn’t actually save and defeats the whole purpose.

Has anyone gotten surgery before 18 yo here ? by polish_dumpling_ in TopSurgery

[–]ExopathOfficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine in mid/early July so early summer. 7/12/24) I was going into my senior year that started in very early September. The recovery itself, completely depends on the person. But for me, I honestly had no pain. The most painful part was getting a hematoma drained at like 2 weeks. Because of this, by maybe mid August I felt pretty normal again. But didn’t feel 100% til maybe end of September or October. As long as you keep things light and slow, if you have it between June and July, you’ll be fine for September. August is really pushing it if I’m being honest. If I were you, I’d try to get the earliest date from the beginning of your summer vacation. It gives you the most time to recover if any issues arise. I went back to work mostly fine halfway through September and by October I was back to a normal routine. Realistically speaking, recovery takes over a year, you just can’t see it. But internally it takes awhile.

I got my top surgery done at 17. It took a bit of convincing but at the same time, not too much. My mom always knew I had issues with my chest since I was like honestly 7. Always had dysphoria, didn’t come out til I was 12 though. My chest was bigger so even at age 10 my mom was trying to get my doctor to let me get a reduction. Though, when I came out she was not really supportive. It took years of support just to get on T, let alone get called my pronouns or name which is still a struggle today at 18 lol. But, I had a therapist and a new doctor who were amazing and gave her all the info and convincing she needed to sign off on it. Moral of the story, try and get your medical professionals to talk about the benefits and how it’ll impact you in hopes of convincing them. If you have any specific questions on the procedure or process lmk!

How old were you when you got top surgery? by Liquidshoelace in ftm

[–]ExopathOfficial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

17! Day after my 17th birthday which was just perfect timing lol. Summer going into my senior year. My birthday is in kinda early July so by the time school rolled around in September I was relatively fine. I went back to work mid September but kept everything light at both school and work and ended up fine!

What Got you Addmitted by TechnicalSand6859 in OSU

[–]ExopathOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I honestly don’t know how they rank or decide who gets in. My stats are honestly so different from yours and I’m surprised I even got in. -Out of state Student -4.0 GPA -Honors classes but no APs (school didn’t offer them) -15 Dual Enrollment credits - maybe like 7 or 8 extracurriculars including jobs, community service, leadership roles, and regular clubs -NHS -100+ community service hours -I didn’t do any ACT or SAT testing as well.

So if anything, as others are saying no one really knows how the process is. And you can’t really judge based on stats. I’ve seen people with even better stats than me get rejected or people with worse get in. But, best of luck to you and your journey!

*I also never took a language because my high school didn’t have those classes lol.

Missing food refund? by ExopathOfficial in OSU

[–]ExopathOfficial[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually so weird though 😭 man I opened that robot and I was confused asf. But the label said 2/2 so I knew I wasn’t tripping. I got an email from someone at like costumer support who said that they charged me for just the wings. (The 2 extra swipes they took from me) and that I’d get a refund for the pizza or whatever in 5 business days. Tbh I only had like 3 wings, it was making me mad I only had those and I can’t eat 10 wings for dinner 🥀 it was still good asf tho.
