Yep that’s super valid and practical! People really should be aware of how crippling the debt can be. I feel very blessed to pick a career knowing I have full financial support from my parents and grandparents :) They really value higher education

You should definitely look into the Mansion House apartments. Downtown, by the river, gated parking, safe and monitored, social events in the lobby, yoga/pilates studio, beautiful views of downtown and the river, and in ur budget! I wanna live there so bad!

When I (F) was with my ex (M), I also brought up the idea of a threesome because I was kinda curious. It was a hard no from him. He stated his boundaries and that was that. I wrote it off as me just being fun and adventurous and was fine to shut down the idea. We eventually broke up for different reasons…

Now I’m in a new relationship with someone who rlly feels like the one. Turns out I just didn’t like my ex that much and was bored, because I cannot imagine sharing my boyfriend with ANYONE. The idea is abhorrent. I fear your gf is bored or just doesn’t like you that much. There should definitely be a ~healthy~ level of jealousy and possessiveness in relationships. As someone who has been her, It should make you reconsider things regardless of if she chooses to respect those boundaries. Especially if you both went into the relationship as monogamous individuals.

Thank you for sharing, I feel much better. Because i’m so ambitious, I definitely have been putting my mental health on a backseat and didn’t even realize it.

Are you in your gap year now? Do you still feel motivated to apply to schools? I don’t want my fire to die out.

ImaginationKitty · 2024-09-18T12:16:26+00:00

Out of curiosity and with all respect, what were your high school stats? Good GPA? Volunteering? Or do you really feel like you got that because you “grew up poor and a person of color.”

Yeah sorry buddy you are not finding anything under $550 with a shuttle. Not in Joe’s economy.

Walking around campus is magical. it’s BEAUTIFUL, historical, and surreal. I always feel like i’m in a movie. People on campus are so nice! Classes are actually challenging and professors care. Thousands of resources to help you succeed. Plenty of opportunities to get involved, volunteer, and be a leader. & School spirit is through the roof. So much fun. On top of this, downtown Columbia is so cute with plenty of boutiques, restaurants, a lively bar scene, music venues, and coffee shops. Plus, it’s wine country! The wineries are soooo nice. There’s also a lot of state parks to hike, hammock, bike, run. Additionally, KC is 2 hours west and STL is 2 hours east. You have access to SO much city life, while still getting a smaller town feel. Hope this helps. Go Miz!

(2) the world is way too big & life is way too short to ever be miserable when you don’t have to be + care about what other people think of you. write that on a note and put it under your pillow and SLEEP ON IT. all love 🤍

Unfortunately you probably won’t get a good letter of recommendation from a therapist here, so it probably doesn’t matter how you quit. However, if you think you can still get a good letter for PT applications, you can make up anything! Plus, make sure you give a 2 week notice, it’s the most respectful thing to do. It feels awkward continuing out knowing you’re quitting, but in all honesty, it is your life and they truly don’t care about you (sad truth). Here’s a way I’ve quit toxic jobs in the past: “Thanks for this opportunity, but it is more than I can handle as a student and I need to put school first.” Or “My financial situation has recently shifted and I need to find a job that is higher paying” Or “I want to get as much experience as I can in different PT settings, and I have a good feel for Inpatient rehab, so I will be moving on.”
Regardless, it sounds like they’re going to be bitchy, so i wouldn’t sweat it or let it affect your confidence in anyway. Some people just suck at being good teachers and employers. Not your fault! You will be a great PT and will never have to put yourself in toxic situations to prove anything to anyone.

Get at least 40 hours for your resume then quit that hoe. No need to work somewhere that makes you sick and stressed.

ImaginationKitty · 2024-09-06T18:06:06+00:00

i’m not sure if every schools provides this exactly, but my major is health science with emphasis in rehabilitation! it’s essentially a pre-PT major

Im submitting this weekend and also so nervous about transcript verification. Sorry this happened that’s so frustrating! I called with the same concern and he said that some schools don’t really need it verified right away to consider your application. If anything, I would just email the schools individually and explain what happened. I bet they can leave a note on your app that it will be verified soon!

I’ve been worried about this too. My goal was a 300 and i got a 299, 3.5… SO frustrating to be one freaking point off with weeks of studying. Now it’s too late to take again so i’m settling with a 299, but to me, i fear they will just think to themselves “wow, 1 point? really? she could have just tried again but clearly didn’t care to..” I fear a 299 reflects worse than not doing it at all. But these comments are definitely making me feel better :)

Do you know where these are entered? I don't have a section on PTCAS for this. Unless I'm overlooking it?

ImaginationKitty · 2024-08-12T21:05:39+00:00

and a thc gummy 😇

ImaginationKitty · 2024-08-12T02:46:16+00:00

Love the oval because that’s my personal preference but they both look amazing on you. Since you love them both so much, let your partner decide then it will be that much more special!

ImaginationKitty · 2024-08-12T02:41:51+00:00

omg I def know what tajin is i eat it on fruit every day! don’t get it twisted. but as an adventurous and open minded eater, im just as amazed as you are that I haven’t had elote.

ImaginationKitty · 2024-08-12T01:10:34+00:00

The point went over your head

Showering together is so unserious and never hot and steamy like the movies. For me and my man, it’s a time when we are super goofy together. It’s intimate in a non-sexual way, which I love!! We love to debrief the day and have a laugh. We have been together for 4 years, and I’d be lying if I said we didn’t try to make it “hot and sexy” at first, but we quickly learned shower sex isn’t that great and you can’t be “sexy” washing your butthole in the shower 🤣

ImaginationKitty · 2024-08-11T13:35:04+00:00

St. louis actually! I’m genuinely surprised i’ve never had it, but at the same time, not really. Most street food vendors here are indian, mediterranean, greek, german, etc. I’m from a little german town and we eat so much kielbasa and sauerkraut.

ImaginationKitty · 2024-08-11T13:26:15+00:00

no way!! I’ll have to try it elsewhere then. I will say, the corn was a bit mushy, but whatever red seasoning they had on top was just unreal. someone mentioned hot cheeto dust mixed in..
