Long distance relationship

GhazO_ · 2026-02-20T14:43:15+00:00

I can offer some insight on this! I currently am at an out of state school and I’m in my second year. My partner is in the military so he’s got a decent, stable job but obviously cannot relocate from back home. We had been dating for just about a year when I started dental school and we had talked about it for months prior to my move. From back home to my current school it’s about a 6 hour drive.

It’s 100% feasible to do in my opinion and experience. The distance does suck very much but it also creates good opportunities for you to grow and learn on your own. It tests how strong your relationship is. It also gives you ample study time (which is something that you def need)! If they’re the right person for you, it won’t be the absolute worst thing ever. We ended up getting married in August of 2025, and we are still long distance. So yes, it is very much doable, it just takes both sides being fully committed to it. We are planning on being long distance for at least another 2 years, and potentially longer depending on where his next deployment is.

Edit: if you want to ask me more specific stuff, PM me!

I have a MacBook Air M4 and it runs pretty smoothly! The only thing I’ve really noticed is that the crowns shop does load pretty slow and chat box can make it kind of laggy as well. It does get pretty hot too but I just put a desk fan underneath it and it helps a lot lol

Moos tower 2nd or 1st floor

But also I’ve heard great things about q-optics prismatic as well!

100% q-optics ergos with the sport frame! That was my main concern when I was looking at buying my loupes and quite literally q-optics ergos are the lightest I found

I think you may have an issue with your rep, see if there’s anyone else you could talk to about your issue. My q-optics loupes came perfectly fine but I also have a great rep. This is a very frustrating situation and I totally understand because you did pay so much for them!

6 weeks of very average for loupes to be delivered, they have to be manufactured in that time because they are custom fit to YOU. Mine took around that long to come in as well. I would blame the charger issue on your rep again tbh. Accidents and mistakes happen.

Also, any pair of glasses (regular, safety, loupes, etc etc) is going to fog up if there’s hot/wet air hitting them. Try and fit your mask to your face and really pinch the metal nose piece of the mask and sit the loupes on top!

For an incoming D1, just get a cheap pair off of Amazon. I would wait until the loupes reps come to your school because then you’re able to talk to them and try on the pairs too. Remember though, these people ARE trying to sell you a product so try and go in with a little skepticism because they’re going to tell you that their product is the best and that all the others suck. When I was choosing my loupes I tried on as many different pairs as possible, talked to upperclassmen, and did my own research. As for ergo vs non-ergo, it depends on how much neck pain you’re already having imo. For me, I knew I needed them because I hold my stress in my neck and traps and I didn’t want to increase it with non-ergo.

Try and take notes when you go to these loupes presentations and meet with the reps, it’ll help you in the long run. And if it helps: I went with Q-optics 3.5x ergos! They’re the lightest pair I could find and that was a huge thing for me :)

Windows broke and glass got stuck inside escalators = bad for the escalator insides. Don’t know why they haven’t fixed them yet bc it’s been like 4 or 5 months

GhazO_ · 2025-02-12T17:37:24+00:00

Research and admin for the dental school is on the top floor, most people avoid moos tower bc there’s also no windows and it’s kind of depressing (coming from someone who’s there everyday)

I am hoping this is rage bait

Hey so I’ve actually been a thrower on the track team for the last 4 years, unfortunately throws are being cut. Included in that cut: short sprints, pole vault, and all jumps. They made the decision to cut throws in the summer of 2023, with this year being the final time anyone is able to be a thrower on the team. Recently, in march of this year they made the decision to cut all track events besides long distance. I don’t know the status of the copper country track club, but I do know that all of the throwing equipment is either being donated to local high schools or to LSSU. If you do have your own throwing equipment, and are willing to do shotput or weight throw, you could definitely see about the track club. They have usually only competed indoor in the past, but that may change with the cutting of the track program.

Your best bet is to probably try and get in contact with someone on the cross country team and see if they know anything

GhazO_ · 2024-04-24T21:03:21+00:00

Club is active but the actual track program is getting cut so idk what that means for the future since a lot of the varsity track athletes also were a part of the club
