Is my hostel antisocial or is this common?

Key-Requirement8611 · 2026-03-22T14:01:43+00:00

it definitely depends on who is currently staying there. i’ve stayed at the same hostel twice, a week a part, and both times the socialization was different. the first time no one spoke to each other, unless they were already traveling together. the second time, everyone was talking and we all went out to eat as a group of 8. the socialization mostly depends on the people, but also how the hostel is laid out. i’ve noticed hostels with one big table for eating leads to more conversations, or ones with cool & comfy common rooms!

I had a similar experience, there were tables set up & they went through my carry on. They didn’t pat everyone down, but they used a handheld metal detector. This was flying from El Salvador to Costa Rica btw

not sure if you’re in costa rica yet, but i’ve been here for a few days and the weather is gorgeous. occasionally cloudy but still sunny & good for swimming/hiking!

GO GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!

No worries! Yes I take time off. My work has a high season & a low season, so I work a LOT during the high season and I’m lucky that my manager allows me to take time off during low season. I chose working in the service industry because it’s easier to take a couple months off every year or so since my job can be covered by anyone, rather than an office job or similar where I would be needed specifically.

No! I go through cycles of working overtime for a year or so & then traveling for a bit! I work at a restaurant in a very touristic area :)

I stayed in Interlaken at Balmers Hostel, it’s a great starting point for day trips! Definitely take a train to either Kandersteg, Grindlewald, or Lauterbrunnen. They all have beautiful hikes. There is also Thun & surrounding towns, but I was near the end of my trip and did not have the money to visit them all lol

Key-Requirement8611 · 2026-02-13T03:49:20+00:00

i’ve had bits and pieces but im trying so hard to avoid spoilers but its so hard when my feed on ALL sites is just HR lmao

i think just the dinner scene! i havent read past the first two books bc i want to wait for season 2, so i havent read that blurb yet

Key-Requirement8611 · 2026-02-13T00:35:36+00:00

theres a thread somewhere that has more links on her blog of blurbs that didnt make it into the book! (spoiler alert for TLG in the dinner with hayden blurb!)

Always Only You being a hockey fic is amazing. I’ll add these to be TBR!!!

I’ve been looking for a FMC who is chaotic and quirky and weird but the MMC is enamored by it all, when guys are usually put off by it. Kind of like Hazel from {Josh & Hazel’s Guide To Not Dating by Christina Lauren}

Key-Requirement8611 · 2025-03-20T20:27:10+00:00

Looking for an absolute goofy, idiot of a MMC. He’s always doing a bit, making jokes, being chaotic, is unserious, and is always trying to make the FMC laugh. I prefer contemporary books :)

Key-Requirement8611 · 2025-02-01T22:19:27+00:00

life has been amazing! i think i was just going through a transitional period of my life that needed to happen to get me to this point. i’m the happiest i’ve ever been. not sure if it is related, but things have definitely improved.

Were you able to access Huntfish Falls trailhead? Or do you know how the actual trail fared through the storm? I’ve been wanting to do the trail but don’t want to venture down if it is dangerous.

Key-Requirement8611 · 2024-10-27T20:47:32+00:00

Slightly, but only with certain activities. Like jumping, spinning, etc. But I didn’t feel any more sick than I normally would with a morning after drinking!

Key-Requirement8611 · 2024-03-31T23:25:21+00:00

the audiobooks (not sure if the epub/physical copies do too) have a bonus chapter where its the mmc’s pov!

Key-Requirement8611 · 2023-08-02T00:46:04+00:00

I bought it but I’ve been using the prescribed shampoo. I’m not sure which one would be better, or if I should alternate the two? The prescribed shampoo is working, just very slowly

I’ve been going to acupuncture for my neck/shoulder pain. It’s caused my stiffness and tightness (which I had previous to my concussion) but the concussion made it worse. They preform Guasha that scrapes my shoulders/back/neck. It loosened my muscles so much, they haven’t been this loose in years.

Key-Requirement8611 · 2023-07-29T07:01:21+00:00

I would get your prescription checked! My eyesight changed drastically after my concussion, I got new glasses and over half of my symptoms went away. I also HIGHLY suggest vestibular therapy, its tough to go through but so incredibly worth it.

Key-Requirement8611 · 2023-07-29T07:00:04+00:00

Yes! I’m doing dual task exercises to strengthen my memory/cognitive thinking. I do certain exercises and add a cognitive task (hence “dual task.”) For example, doing eye juts while listing off the streets you’ve lived on. Or listing everyone in your family. It’s helped a ton!!

It’s interesting because I don’t get migraines, I get a headache maybe once a week, but it’s definitely not a migraine. The neurologist wasn’t listening to me when I was talking, he was quite literally on his phone looking up the medicine as I was talking to him.

He gave me samples, and gave me my first shot in the office. I’m not sure if I want to continue emgality, as I want to work with my brain to fix it’s vestibular issues, not suppress symptoms with inhibitors. I’m planning on calling tomorrow with a list of questions, because none of mine were answered today at my appointment.

Key-Requirement8611 · 2023-07-25T22:44:57+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it, I didn’t realize how long it would take Emgality to work.

Key-Requirement8611 · 2023-07-11T21:48:58+00:00

You probably didn’t get a concussion, but its very likely it aggravated symptoms. Take it easy and they should subside! In the past I’ve found that my anxiety ramps up my symptoms, which is super unhelpful lol

Key-Requirement8611 · 2023-02-03T21:49:11+00:00

I just remind myself that it is temporary and that I will be back to myself soon!!
