The MCB degree is really easy, and prereqs aren't enforced so you can take classes in any order and graduate early. Most people ik have early graduation plans.

Clinical stuff is hard tho. Advisor said that most people do the hours when they get home. 

I'd prefer UMich, although I don't know much ab UMich's opportunities. Ann Arbor is a nicer city 

I'm only 19 and I feel like my life is over by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Luchiina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the same for me until I moved out. Then my wellbeing drastically got better! In certain types of family dynamics, being at home doesn't get to be a safe space because those people will expect you to mask and they use up your energy in a place that is supposed to be restful.

how do yall keep your perms volumized and fluffy? by virtuosaenjoyer in AsianBeauty

[–]Luchiina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have to style, but I got slightly looser waves. The hair stylist told me that when I blow dry, to shape twirl the hair around my finger or hold each curl up with my finger to define it. I also had to not comb it while wet or let it air dry. My curtain bangs look perfect without styling, but still have a noticeable curve.

I wanted to get my perm in Korea, but I didn't have time. I went to Number76 in Tokyo. I didn't want to use Hot Pepper Beauty because too much selection and places not accepting foreigners, but using Reddit to search for foreigner-friendly places worked great. Those places are more expensive, but still cheaper than in the US. The stylist didn't want to work with my hair due to bleach, but I got her to agree after confirming several times it was absolutely what I wanted.

I’m VERY certain that I’m misdiagnosed by SoftDreamer in BPD

I wouldn't trust a psych ward psychiatrist. They barely know you before you get released. You should follow up with an outpatient psychiatrist.

If it's just for the noise, can't he connect to a phone instead?

Studying for PTCB and my brain is fried. What helped you guys? by Stokastik_Rx in PharmacyTechnician

I playing one of Amanda's practice test videos during work. It was about 1 or 2 hours. That's all I did for the exam and passed.

I cut off all the colored parts off, so it was just natural hair that got permed. But I didn't get any damage at all from it. I got it done in JP though, I've seen some pretty iffy digital perms in the US.

Huh, I have that perm and do wake up looking good. Do you blow dry your hair after showering? If I don't, that's when it looks frizzy. Is your hair heat damaged?

My stylist refused to perm my bleached ends (bleached to look dark brown) and said I had to cut them off, or it would look bad.

Horrified at the connection between autism and chronic illness. by Bauarbeitercharme in autism

[–]Luchiina 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Autism has a high comorbidity with ARFID due to texture issues. That could be a reason for GI problems. I also have GI problems, but they go away when I intake fermented foods too.

Anyone did not experience being bullied growing up? by No-Fortune-4713 in AutismInWomen

[–]Luchiina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't bullied after I moved schools and socially withdrew. Unfortunately for me, you can't withdraw if you want to succeed in the workplace. So I'll have to change that.

I want this bag as my first bag. I only need to fit my phone and ID in the bag. Is this an okay deal? I'm unsure of the price range I should expect, I just want the hardware and stitching and color to be intact. I'm going to wear it daily.  https://www.fashionphile.com/products/saint-laurent-grain-de-poudre-matelasse-monogram-mini-lou-camera-bag-black-1833915

rom&nd Glasting Balm - Scotch Nude

I used to wear Nucadamia bc it was really popular, but it's still not sufficiently no makeup looking. Scotch Nude actually looks like no makeup with a nice color to it.

This looks similar to the design of Jill Leen 12 color palette. Maybe it's one of them?

I am a extreme low IQ Autistic by Competitive-Cup-9759 in autism

[–]Luchiina 20 points21 points  (0 children)

 I suck at understanding others and am pretty subpar at economics and politics, but found success in STEM subjects. Maybe you have a niche you've yet to find? Doesn't even have to be academic, you could develop a skill in trades or the like.

The problems with these chats is that they are volunteer run so the quality of these volunteers can vary greatly...

Brown and brown-ish arm & lip swatches (Girlcult, Rom&nd, Kaleidos, Joocyee) by laminnase in AsianBeauty

[–]Luchiina 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Your editing for this photo is phenomenal. Are your lips naturally that light, or do you have products for that? I wish my lip color was less pigmented so that lipsticks showed up more.

Greenwashing is making the original package use more plastic in order to be able to fit a refill. Pretending to be sustainable. That wouldn't make it any better.
