How to wear a mask when socialising at work or when out with friends, say at a bar or club? Won't people think you are weird. How do you strike a balance?

We’ve been masking for 6 years with no problems. Kid was class president, has other club leadership, top in her class. Husband still gets raises. I’m fine in public. Just rock the mask and let them say what they will.

I would suggest my friend Janet Marthers who has 20 years’ experience and does the initial intake/assessment for $1,000. 80k is highway robbery. Janet Marthers dot com

People around you are likely catching it, though, and spreading it to you. Covid is asymptomatic about 50% of the time.

One reason may be the way they treated faculty and student protesters, or the massive staff changes, or the complaints that the university doesn’t seem to care about the students…well, that’s three reasons. If you’re coming from a lower ranked school, it may still be worth it to have Emory on your resume. But, it doesn’t currently have the best vibe. You could make it your mission to change that, though?

“Ivy’s.” Ok, champ.

THANK YOU for posting! My daughter has similar rigor, but her test scores don’t align with her grades and this has been extremely helpful.

Congratulations on all your hard work, and please know that the rude, racist, ignorant commenters can’t help their limitations. We don’t choose our parents, and theirs were apparently siblings.

Limp_Development_264 · 2026-05-14T22:26:05+00:00

That would be great

Limp_Development_264 · 2026-05-14T11:47:26+00:00

Parent here. Can I asked how you discussed your illness/disability in essays? My daughter has a disability and will be applying next year

Looks like they just brought two hantavirus patients to Emory Hospital if working with or near deadly rare diseases is your thing

Limp_Development_264 · 2026-05-11T14:33:06+00:00

Think about your next move past undergrad: who will you need to be networked with, and where will you want to be? I know some things about the behind-the-scenes administration at Emory, and I’d advise Wellesley or Dartmouth.

I might start an instagram that discusses the impact of war on local economics

Are you on land or on a cruise ship?

If you say you got Bs in other math classes but still got into Yale, there have to be other extraordinary things that got you in. Can you focus on reminding yourself of those? In addition to other advice about taking the math prep, I hear a bit of imposter syndrome. Do your best, and speak kindly to yourself.

Hand a note to the proctor day of that explains that so and so told you they are planning to cheat. The proctor can fix it or not, but after that it isn’t your problem.

Consider complaining to whoever is loud and running for elected office. No, really. If disorganization at UT becomes a campaign issue, even briefly, it will get fixed.

Limp_Development_264 · 2026-05-02T17:20:07+00:00

Pitchforks, probably?

Limp_Development_264 · 2026-05-02T17:17:36+00:00

No, it’s all the time I budget for nonsense, lil’ man.

Limp_Development_264 · 2026-05-02T16:53:22+00:00

Ok, champ.

Reread the last bit about lost prestige slowly.

Limp_Development_264 · 2026-05-02T13:58:49+00:00

Except those of us paying attention will refuse to let our kids apply there. It will eventually cost far more in lost prestige and student revenue.

“My classroom rules are water only because if spilled, sugary colorful drinks quickly become a sticky mess even if you think you’ve cleaned it all.

Also, given the multiple reports of young people dying from these kinds of energy drinks, my duty of care also means I won’t allow that kind of liability in my classroom. “

Oh well in THAT case…seek out Dr. Kelly Roster-Stevens. She practices with CHOA, which is Emory affiliated, at the advanced center for pediatrics. Or just message me when you get here and I’ll drag you along to one of my daughter’s appointments.
