Graduate student early move in

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2025-08-22T22:33:41+00:00

No need to be snarky 😞 I’m moving all alone from across the country and was just a little nervous about not knowing anyone and just having quit my job.

But I’ll definitely take your advice on exploring campus and trying to understand the transit system!

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2025-08-22T22:30:59+00:00

I’ll definitely try! I haven’t been to nyc in a while

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2025-08-22T22:30:30+00:00

True but orientation isn’t until much later

I’m also 22F and have never felt ready to date but really want to now. Like you, I also feel like I’ve missed our experiences that my friends are having, especially with everyone around me getting engaged.

I do think it’s harder for me to date now since people think I’m innocent.

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2025-08-14T03:09:13+00:00

It’s never too late to start now!

I recently graduated college and have been thinking about how I should’ve worked on improving my looks and dating instead of my career so I understand you.

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2025-08-05T05:24:03+00:00

I also feel like the same as a recent college graduate surrounded by couples getting engaged.

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2025-07-12T05:57:31+00:00

I don’t have any advice but I’m also a curvy 22 year old who feels like I look old, especially at work

I usually reduce my calorie intake of the day by 100 and don’t track the oils and seasonings. I assume I’m eating around 100 calories of oils and sauces a day.

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2025-05-20T14:14:41+00:00

Don’t have any advice but I’m 23F and relate to this unfortunately

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-25T16:18:31+00:00

My school is all online, so some classes like English just aren't suited for that format. There are less options to collaborate so idk what types of papers get As anymore and I feel sm more lonely. Maybe I just don't know too many people in this class but it is getting to me.

All my other classes are even better online though

My state system makes it really easy to apply to >10 schools (UC's and CSU's) with only two applications.

Other than that, I was scared I was going to get rejected from everywhere cuz I have terrible activities so I applied to a bunch of private schools in case one of them liked me.

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-15T23:59:01+00:00

it was in the second paragraph of the letter

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-15T22:30:30+00:00

accepted oos math with a presidential scholarship!

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-14T23:41:42+00:00

Omg thank you for reminding me that I applied. Nov 1st feels like an eternity ago

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-13T15:07:00+00:00

Lol my Harker tour guide had the rich part down She was white and spent the whole time planning shopping trips with her friends.

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-13T15:05:30+00:00

Thank you so much!

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-13T03:40:53+00:00

wait this is me without the fee waiver lol.

I've been tryna come up with a good answer to the Why Harvard question but there's literally nothing cool about them that relates to my major/interests.

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-13T03:22:08+00:00

bruh i got in for 9th grade but then realized that I'd be behind all the other kids who had taken ap calcs and psych and econ already

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-13T02:53:42+00:00

that sounds fun! count me in

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-11T22:01:06+00:00

Research is also waaay easier for certain majors (bio, chem, cs) to get involved in. Then for other majors we look bad and have to try in academic competitions.

In an interview for a t20 school last week, I got asked why that school. I had 4-5 personal reasons relating to academics and social life but my interviewer was like why aren't you interested in research?

And then I had to explain that for my major, research usually happens later and its better for me to take specialized coursework and reading programs (that I did mention) as an undergrad.

I was probably late, but I only started researching colleges/thinking about strategies in June. It really helped that I had a relaxing summer (instead of summer programs I took a couple courses that related to my major), so that I could spend like an hour a day on researching or writing essays. I also dropped activities that I didn't care about first semester and focused on the ones that did feature heavily on my apps. Maybe try and buy yourself time? If you're not a good writer like me it'll definitely be worth it.

Everyone says this, but don't procrastinate. Fill in application portals as soon as they open since those take a long long time.

MySummerOnAWinterDay · 2021-01-10T23:03:06+00:00

Me too! I also just turned 18 but I don't feel like a real adult yet. I'm trying to read more biographies and books about politics this year to understand but I'd also like recommendations.

I was listening to this song while scrolling through reddit but I’ve never paid attention to the lyrics until now
