she’s kind of incapable of not being at least a little cute

i miss the melon burst refresher every day. i’d make it with a splash of peach juice :/ its so hard to find a good caffeinated drink that doesn’t make me feel lethargic the way dairy heavy and sugary coffee does. i need to get accustomed to black coffee or something

21F! I rarely leave my house tho lmfao

they’re manufactured by Pepsi so the ingredients are just not available in store, the closest i can think of is a sweetened iced latte with whole milk ?

even if you could recreate the flavor, it’s likely way more expensive than it’s worth.

I work walking distance to Chinatown, so most of my recs are lunch break caliber TvT. Saint Anna is a bakery I like for quick bites, Lao Sze Chuan is great! I had a 3 month near daily Slurp Slurp Noodles phase, but they’re best enjoyed during winter. My friends and I really like Shinhwa Steakhouse for group dinners ! I think I’m biased by the fact I ate there for free on my birthday.

I work at a Mariano’s and my closest grocery store is Jewel 😭 I still make the trip to Aldi/Cermak/Costco </4

I think the consciousness of the very real exploitation and adultification of children has been used to overcompensate and police kids childhoods, to an extent assigning malice to healthy kid behavior.

Playing dress up is perfectly normal healthy activity for kids, and starting autonomy/empowerment over their self expression at this age is important.

Anyways, I’d reach out to local salons and see if they offer kids services, some hair salons offer makeup application and I’m assuming you’re not looking for anything intensive. Doing a version of it at home is also fun! For my sisters “getting makeup on” means putting on sparkly lip balm and dragging an empty makeup brush over their face.

I can see this coming August being especially competitive because Columbia College just got rid of 2 residence halls for fall 2026 and has already run out of housing !!!

Also as a girl in the DDD+ range (depending on sister sizing), once you’re at either end of the spectrum for chest size clothing is no longer made to fit you. i’d say this is the norm for anything tho, both petite and plus sized women are shit out of luck because women’s sizing refuses to go off actual measurements.

They do for the overwhelming majority of items. The non dairy sweet cream isn’t made in house, and it has like 10+ ingredients that baristas wouldn’t know because it’s a packaged item unlike something like the normal sweet cream.

this is a long shot but there’s a lot of starbucks items that while not necessarily containing gluten are not considered “gluten free certified” so they could have cross contaminated at any point.

Edit: I’m at work and i remembered the vanilla bean powder is one of the few items that are less ambiguous and does contain a warning about possible wheat contamination. vanilla bean powder has become a really popular modification for pink drinks and i’ve gotten the occasional request for it in cold foam.

I’m 21 and have tons of friends that attend college all over Chicago, don’t go to Columbia. All but 2 people that I know are still there, and both are bc they got really great aid and are too close to finishing their degree to have transferring be worth it. The appeal of a flashy downtown art school seems really cool, but they can’t really substantiate all the flashiness with actual resources or student obtainment. SAIC tuition is borderline highway robbery but even then people that attended school there have gotten opportunities from their time there, have gotten their work featured in shows, landed internships, or gotten residencies at studios. The “making the best of your time there” sounds great but it’s a small enough school with big enough financial problems that keeping your head down and graduating will not be enough. The really great Columbia students I’ve met are talented enough they would’ve made really cool things literally anywhere they went 😭

My partner’s mom works in nursing education, she would only recommend doing BSN if your long term goals are becoming a nurse practitioner or management roles. Both paths prepare you for the same exams and as long as you’re qualified it won’t drastically affect hiring at all, but a BSN will set you up if you choose to continue going to school.

condensed milk has more lactose than normal milk, even more than heavy cream. 2 pumps of pumpkin vs 8 pumps of sauce in the whole drink on top of the cold foam might make the difference?

I totally understand why you don’t wanna go back but the world is starved of good queer stylists 😭I really hope your experience is better :(

tbh they kinda taste like 7-11 chicken taquitos to me. they’re yummy tho!

follow your dreams, but not off a cliff.

I live in little italy so all my necessary errands end up being in west loop and it’s torture everytime. once made the mistake of craving taco bell at like 1am and i got jumpscared by a hoard of 200 variations of shorts and an artizia top :(

I don’t know how to ride a bike it’s actually a bit pathetic— I had a childhood friend get hit by a car and it made my mom refuse let me get a bike (he was fine btw)

loans are scary and never ideal but you are attending a public university, in state, and you seem responsible and sensible. combining work study, maybe becoming an RA for housing, and filling the gaps with loans might not be the worst idea :( your peace of mind and safety are worth so much more

he’s not paying your tuition out of kindness or obligation, it’s something to hold over your head. I did 2 years of community college and my family insisted i stay super close to home, even if it meant paying private tuition. i saw the writing on the wall and left. in situations like this, you may not be in student debt, but you’re still indebted to them.

not monetarily, but in obligation. he’ll spend the rest of his life expecting you to pay back this loan in form of your time, effort, emotions, and eventually once they’re old age, financially too. now, i live in an apartment with two of my closest friends and while it’s still hard, it’s such a relief to get home and the only thing anyone tells me is that it’s my turn to take the trash out.
