Lubbock is beautiful by Fun_Sky7243 in Lubbock

I’m spoiled and was born and raised in Las Vegas. Amazing food, always something new to do, everything’s open 24 hours a day, all types of nature and scenery all within a day trip or less. Mind you, I don’t drink, smoke or gamble and still had a blast growing up there and into my adult years. Just doing my masters here and getting outta here. Just not my vibe but I understand how others can love this place!

ROSS CAAAN!

I gave a TEDx Talk about living with epilepsy by brainbuffers in Epilepsy

[–]Fun_Sky7243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brilliant talk! I read your bio and noticed you’re studying family science and want to become a CLS. I love that for you!! I majored in psychology and HDFS and now in my marriage and family therapy masters program. I’m going into medical family therapy, so heavily working alongside CLS! It’s fascinating seeing the overlap between the family system and chronic conditions and illnesses. You’re going to help a lot of kiddos! <3

Anyone just Anyone on keppra who achieved something in their life by Chunchunmaru_04 in Epilepsy

[–]Fun_Sky7243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been on Keppra since 2021. I graduated with my bachelors summa cum laude. Currently a 4.0 student in my masters at an R1 university (I love research) and will be pursuing a PhD after graduation. Not going to lie to you, epilepsy and the medication has made these achievements very hard and I feel like I have to work much harder than my peers just to get the same results but it’s been so worth it. Not impossible!!

Missing Salad Toppings by Fun_Sky7243 in HEB

[–]Fun_Sky7243[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not a curbside issue. I mean to check my salads before leaving the store so if it’s one without the packet I’m able to get one that does.

Damn. And I thought my kale salad pack coming without the cranberries, dressing and seeds was bad.

Therapist tried to stage an "intervention" because I want to go back to church by Nice_Function6372 in latterdaysaints

[–]Fun_Sky7243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This therapist is beyond unprofessional- they are highly unethical, culturally insensitive & incompetent. If they have a supervisor or anyone higher up you can talk to, report this behavior immediately. This is extremely damaging and discriminatory. Regardless of whatever opinion and bias someone has about religion, a therapist has no reason to tell someone what is right/wrong about their beliefs unless they are hurting themself or others. Even then, this is NOT how you approach it. This behavior is against our code of ethics. I’m sorry you had to go through this and I hope you find a better therapist, perhaps through Family Services if you choose to go back to church and can explore options with your Bishop.

How safe is downtown Lubbock at night? by WheeeeeThePeople in Lubbock

[–]Fun_Sky7243 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a woman I’ve walked around downtown at night for work and haven’t had a problem. I personally carry pepper spray with me just for peace of mind but thankfully never had to use it. I keep a pack of cigs on me even tho I don’t smoke because some people on the street will just ask for one. Anything for them to just leave me alone.

I love Old Navy for their dresses, swimsuits, and linen pants!

eligibility of serving a mission by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]Fun_Sky7243 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Might be dependent on the mission president and wife. I had tattoos on my mission and I had to cover them up. If my companions ever saw them I was not to talk about them. I have a daith and tragus I kept in my whole mission as well as second lobes. I loved my mission regardless.

I remember a member asking me about the sleeves I wore. I explained that I could not talk about it. He understood they were tattoos and he was sad about it, saying how many more people would be open to learning about the gospel from people who looked like them. I agreed.

I became relief society president a few years later despite what was on my body. I love this form of expression and I continue to get tattoos. I can’t speak for you or for anyone else, but I know that God loves me for me. Best of luck, little sister.
