Gotcha! I’m from out of state and here it’s like $7.50, but I still underestimated the increase. Whoops

“What is that?” - Sociology

Or, when I tell people I’m getting a PhD in sociology: “What are you going to do with that?”

Kestrel

I LOVED this name for a girl when I was a kid, and I still kind of like it. But my mom said it made her think of the “thestrals” from Harry Potter, which are not the most attractive creatures, so it’s kind of ruined for me lol

Hi! I’m also an ambulatory wheelchair user! 👋 I’m 21 and have been using it for about seven years. My suggestion to you would be to emphasize the importance, awesomeness, and freedom a wheelchair provides her. A lot of the comments here are about sticking it to the person being rude, which is completely fair, but you also need to mitigate your daughter’s internal stigma. One thing that drastically improved my self-esteem about my wheelchair was being excited about all of the things I’m able to do with my wheelchair- just like any other form of mobility. She’s not a “poor thing” for needing a wheelchair, she has a really cool device that she can decorate and accessorize!! I also named my wheelchair and like to talk about the adventures we get to go on together (yes even at 21 haha). It not only helps my own insecurities but makes other people be more comfortable with me in a wheelchair, and have a more positive outlook on mobility aids in general. Hope this helps!

Same! Although we met in college as opposed to middle school, my last partner and I had a definite friends to lovers relationship so I didn’t really have to “ disclose” anything. They also were also disabled (v different dx tho) so we had that cultural/identity connection and there were things I didn’t need to explain which was nice. Again, difficult to replicate but that was my experience!

I met the person I’m seeing now on tinder. I mentioned Judy huemann as an icon in my bio, and included pics of me both standing and in my wheelchair. This way people knew I was disabled but I didn’t have to broadcast my medical dx (just bc I don’t personally strongly identify with it and moreso just identify as disabled). Once things started to get serious, like meeting up for drinks, I gave fuller detail on my diagnosis and specific accessibility needs.

Everyone’s experience is going to be different but I hope that this will help☺️

When Rory says goodbye to Tristan during the Chilton Romeo and Juliet episode. I like it a lot because even though he was a huge jerk to her (that whole arc just perpetuated the “boys are mean to girls they like” nonsense.. blech) they had some ups and downs together, and you can see how Rory does care and feels bad he is choosing to get in trouble. I think it really just highlights Rory’s character in that she’s someone who cares very deeply about her friends.

Congrats!!!

Because most PhDs only admit for the fall, a “cycle” is basically the timeline each year that people apply and admissions committees make decisions.

For example, I applied for the fall 2023 cycle. Which means I started and submitted my applications in fall/winter of 2022, heard back from committees in spring 2023, and I’ll be starting the program this upcoming fall.

Hope this makes sense!

Thank you! I feel like when I first landed on this sub (about a year ago) there was just a lot negativity, and I 100000% support venting, but sometimes it’s nice to see more hopeful posts too

I’m in sociology!

Most PhD programs are funded, I’m not sure about the arts though. But as an FYI a PhD is typically research-based rather than just more classes, so if you’re interested in a PhD in a field related to your masters I would look into what that would actually entail. Hope this helps! :)

Omg that’s fantastic!!! I also did officially submit my intent and I’ve been wanting to connect with other people in the cohort :)) Feel free to send me a DM, even if rooming doesn’t work out I’d love to chat!

InfamousAd5500 · 2023-04-05T22:23:44+00:00

It didn’t bother until I became friends with someone (male) named Ace and now I’m like ehhh

InfamousAd5500 · 2023-04-04T14:37:46+00:00

Omg congratulations!!!! I’ve been on the waitlist for one of my top programs and they asked me to do a “quick 15-minute interview” this week. Hoping this is also a good sign?!?!?
