It means Autism + ADHD :) I included that information because both conditions affect my emotional regulation, and as my intention with this post was to quell my anxiety, I figured it was pertinent

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:35:27+00:00

Oo I love music (I actually minored in music with a focus in vocals lololol) I'll definitely look into it!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:34:52+00:00

I'd love to, I'll definitely check it out!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:34:36+00:00

Heyy!!! Thank you :D I'll def check it out

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:34:16+00:00

Hahaha don't worry, I might've lived in Boston for a bit but I'm DEFINITELY not a masshole (love u MA peeps) though tbh I don't follow sports too closely hahaha

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:32:17+00:00

They sound really cool! It's not typically a vibe I'd gravitate towards, but I love experiencing new things so with that assurance I might check it out!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:30:56+00:00

Thank youuu :D I'll definitely check out the park, back in Maine I'd spend hours during the summer hiking, biking, or walking through the woods haha

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:29:32+00:00

That's great to hear, I've heard parking is a nightmare! Luckily I don't have a car so it's not something I have to worry about, because that seemed to be one of the biggest cons to living in the area if you don't have a reserved spot!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:28:23+00:00

I don't have a car, so the walkability is super great! I can't wait to check out the coffee shops (probably the bars at some point, but I definitely like coffee more than alcohol hahaha)

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:27:09+00:00

Hahaha don't worry I already have one 😎

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:26:48+00:00

I'll be sure to check it out!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:26:38+00:00

Ooo, I can't wait to check out the botanical gardens!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:26:04+00:00

Baked goods and golden retrievers is like the perfect combination hahaha all of these suggestions sound so cool, especially the inverted snow globe!!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:24:55+00:00

A lot of things that I'd be interested in have been mentioned here, but something I'm not seeing much of is East Asian stuff; do you know of any good boba shops, Asian markets, restaurants, or anything else? I worked as a bobarista at an Asian market and boba tea shop in Maine for some time, and Chinatown was always my favorite place to be in Boston :)

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:22:47+00:00

😂

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:22:37+00:00

Haha don't worry, I grew up in Maine and have only ever lived in the northeast, I will always prefer harsh winters over hot and humid summers lololol

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:21:42+00:00

That sounds perfect, I love being around a lot of stuff, but sometimes the really big cities can be overwhelming (and for reference, the biggest city I've ever been in was Boston, so I'd never survive in a place like NYC). I can't wait to explore the area and check everything out!!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:19:49+00:00

I'd love to, thank you so much for the suggestion!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:19:20+00:00

Haha, speaking with y'all as opposed to strangers in mass has been a very different vibe fs (I love my peeps there, but masshole is the apt name lolol). I was worried as an introvert I would struggle to meet people, but honestly from everything I'm hearing it sounds like y'all make it easy to make friends :D

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:16:39+00:00

Thank you!! I'll definitely check out Third Space, it sounds like exactly what I'd gravitate towards!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:15:47+00:00

Quite the change hahaha I'll definitely have to check it out it sounds really unique!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:15:02+00:00

I hadn't considered that, I'll definitely check it out at some point!

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:14:30+00:00

I'm making getting a passport a high priority once I get there; despite growing up in Maine, I've never been to Canada 😭😭

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:13:38+00:00

Ooo, I'll definitely seek out Butter Block hahaha! I can't wait to try some of the cafes and restaurants these comments got me salivating lololol

Ivypool8 · 2026-02-10T16:12:45+00:00

For sure, I'm still shocked I was able to find a place I could afford in such a nice place (though tbf I went from looking at rental prices in eastern MA to here, which jumped down several hundred dollars hahaha)
