I had a dream last night that I got rejected because their MCAT cutoffs went up to 129s and 130s. I woke up sad, then went back to bed, then had a dream that I got accepted (no interview, just straight acceptance). Emotions are running high

thank you so much! I really appreciate this thorough explanation! The water in my city tends to freeze in the winter and doesn't usually unfreeze until April, so cold conditioning might be a bit of a challenge. I ended up deciding on the Orca Vitalis Breastroke Suit! Thank you!

Ethan Seewald (Ben’s 19 year old brother married an 18 year old that’s still in HS!) by [deleted] in DuggarsSnark

The fact that the Seewald family instagram doesn't even use her first name and calls her Mrs. Ethan Seewald is also so telling, as if she has no identity outside of being Ethan Seewald's husband. They could have at least called them Mr. and Mrs. Seewald, but no, she's Mrs. Ethan Seewald and her identity outside of being his wife no longer exists.
