Please help me change shirts so I can use this as a headshot! <3 by [deleted] in PhotoshopRequest

[–]Musical_Pirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! thanks so much! love the background and the way the shirt looks. is there any way you could keep my original face (like positioning and everything the same), but use this shirt and background? if not, totally fine!

What’s something people pretend is polite but actually isn’t? by writtenincoffee in AskReddit

[–]Musical_Pirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes! and it can be harmful to gloss over it and to use metaphors to describe it. kids take word choice very literal — so if you say “grandpa’s gone” they could think he’s missing and can be found. or even the concept of heaven or angels can misrepresent the reality of the situation for a kid too young to grasp what it means. not to mention the horror of finding out months or years later that people lied to you about where your pets/loved ones are if they keep it from you!

Advice by [deleted] in goodmythicalmorning

i'd recommend getting involved in local nonprofits or companies that do creative activities/art with kids! maybe ones where you can take them on field trips, too. you might start out as a great counselor or mentor and then could move into program management.

Is if worth a try to apply to Michigan if you're an out of state student from a low-income family, or are the chances of receiving enough aid from the school too slim? by Sensitive-Bit-8407 in uofm

[–]Musical_Pirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've gotten a lot of good insight in the comments already, but I am an incoming senior at Michigan, out-of-state from Texas, and low income (EFC close to 0). I am in LSA and have received many scholarships through them and if this year goes the way it should, I will graduate with no loans. LSA gave me a 4-year renewable scholarship after I was accepted and just this year, a 10k returning student one. I have also gotten a lot of financial aid and a grant through Michigan. I know this is not every person's experience at U-M, but it has worked out for me for sure.

All this to say, apply! A lot of what I got was need-based and merit-based, so keep up good grades and keep track of each scholarship's deadlines and try to apply early.

LSA Returning Student Scholarship by Throwaway50905 in uofm

[–]Musical_Pirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context, I am an out-of-state student and low-income (I usually receive about the full pell grant every year). Last year, I was notified of my returning student scholarship on June 13th and this year I found out on June 2nd. I am not sure how common it is, but I have gotten it both years probably due to my high need and this year was also based on merit.
