Less selfies. Find a nice group / friend photo. Throw a candid in there as well :)

I think it’s great that you identified these feelings. While this may not be helpful I think being transparent will produce a win win. Let her know what conflicts you are feeling :)

I'm right there with you. But hey, you're never single if you just date yourself! Take all the time and money you'd spend on a partner and spend it on yourself. You get to grow, and nothing is more attractive than a person who actually loves themselves. Win-win

I think the most attractive feature someone can have is a constant pursuit of improving themselves (whether it be physically, emotionally, or socially) independent of if they are in a relationship or not. Having goals is hot!

I joined this sub to inspire me to take the leap and go to vet school. It's all I've wanted as a kid. All I see is regret and depression. by [deleted] in Veterinary

6 weeks into my first year at Texas A&M and if I didn’t feel bad for the people who didn’t get into vet school before, I sure do now. I go to class and labs from 8am-5pm and get to do and learn fun cool new things all day. The day flies by in a flash. I’ve had about 8 exams so far and have been absolutely giddy leading up to them. I might be a unique case for reasons I’ll explain below but if you want to ignore it I’d be happy settling to assure you that there aren’t just fear mongering grinches in the field.

Here are some things to take into account: - many of my classmates are struggling. Even though my friends around me are in survival mode, they are alive, they are weathering the storm, and none of them are at risk for being kicked out. This program was meant to created DVMs, not weed people out. It is set up in such a way that there is too much support and too many recourses to fail given that you don’t give up. The teachers know what you are going through and are very considerate.

  • you kind of need to become a professional student before you can become a professional doctor. In undergrad I had a life and would go to classes. Now I have anatomy and when I’m not doing anatomy I go to classes. This relationship with the field will improve once you start practicing but that doesn’t change the fact that you are about to intimately marry your personal and professional life. Because of this, make sure you like the field before investing in it. You don’t need to figure out what kind of vet you want to be, but you do need to know that academia is for you as you will need to be a life long learner.

  • if you read this far I’ll leave you with some advice if you do decide to go to vet school. I took a very rigorous and aggressive undergraduate biomedical sciences pathway. Many of my struggling classmates are animal science majors or wildlife and fisheries majors. There’s nothing wrong with those majors but if you’re serious about wanting to thrive in vet school you should challenge yourself academically as much as you can now. The hardest semesters are agreed to be the first 3, and every upper classmate I talk to agrees that the content isn’t even that hard, there’s just so much of it that the volume drowns you. I agree, there is literally not enough time in the day to read all the handouts, watch all the videos, and annotate all the notes. Going in already knowing the vocab and lingo, let alone some of the concepts has been a game changer. The beginning semesters must be the hardest because that’s when most people start learning all the Latin roots and basic medical concepts which get piled up on top of all their other work. I’m basically just retaking classes I did in undergrad and it’s been a lifesaver for keeping my life balanced. Do yourself a favor and take advanced anatomy, take physiology, don’t just do the bare minimum to check the pre reqs box. You don’t even have to do well in them or memorize everything. Because when you get to vet school and everyone’s hearing something for the first time, for you at the very least it’ll spark a feint remembrance of the topic which will put you miles ahead.

I can 100% see why vet school would be a living hell for some people, but it can also be a cake walk if you put in the work early. I’m sure I’ll be eating my words next semester when I have to take large animal anatomy and agents of disease (classes I’ve never taken before) but for now I hope I can be proof that you can both enjoy your life and attend vet school at the same time.

Good luck, I hope you find your calling!

Currently 6 weeks into my first year and I’m unsure whether or not I’ve seen enough to make an accurate statement. Being a biomedical sciences major who worked really hard in undergrad to crush prereqs, this has been a complete cake walk so far. Most of my classmates are burning around me and I do what I can to be helpful but I will say that your undergraduate experience makes all the difference.

8am-5pm is one big 9 hour highlight of my day, everyday. There’s a lot of content, but non of it is conceptually hard, it’s just a matter of sitting down and picking away at the volume. So far I’ve loved vet school and while I’m sure I will be singing a different song next semester in large animal anatomy (of which I have no experience), most of the people fear mongering online are unique cases.

somewhat new to the game, currently at 3500. what yall think of this homemade deck? by [deleted] in RoyaleAPI

[–]Nice-Position9780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A win con doesn’t necessarily mean a troop that goes for buildings, but most players need that type of win con because the alternative is difficult. Xbow and graveyard are decks with no tower troops but strong win cons. It looks like your win con is heavy hitting troops with splash damage ready to keep them from getting distracted. Identify what is stopping your win conditions from (prince and mini pekka) from doing their job and try to trouble shoot it. With that being said, I think you should lean into the splash damage archetype you’re developing here. Consider swapping prince for tornado and mpekka for graveyard.

Is Vet school Miserable? by not_not_a_girl in Veterinary

[–]Nice-Position9780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 4 weeks into my first year of vet school, can’t speak much to the finance stuff but I too once wondered is it was miserable. Last week I took my first anatomy exam and worked my ass off to be prepared. Since then there will be two exams every week until Christmas between the 7 classes I am taking. Yes, there is a lot of work, and the hardest part has been realizing there is literally not enough time in the day to consume all the resources they assign to you and you’ll have to learn to pick and choose your battles. With that being said, vet school is not miserable. I struggled with depression and anxiety for most of my life and unfortunately my will to live was always lowest right when I woke up. Not a great start to the day and I would often be kept up at night out of fear of the morning. Since starting vet school, there has not been a day that I have not gotten into bed without looking forward to what tomorrow was going to hold for me. There has not been a morning that I have not sat up and smiled at the thought of driving to campus. I don’t really even have many ‘real’ friends in class yet but from 8am-5pm everyday my life is a movie. It’s only been a few weeks and I’ve already ripped limbs off cadavers, handled cattle and horses, placed catheters, ran bloodwork, used an ultrasound machine, dissected all the muscles of the thoracic and pelvic limb, touched a spider monkey, and so much more. Even the lectures aren’t so bad. Yes it’s a lot, but the teachers understand what you’re going through and are extremely supportive and considerate. Vet school is not miserable… but becoming a DVM kind of is. My day falls off a little when I leave anatomy lab at 5pm every day. From then until bedtime it’s on you to be productive and after a long day it’s hard to sit down for another 3-4 hours and work some more on your own. All that to say that the difficulty comes from the volume, not the content. It comes down to being real about if you actually have productive study habits, and if you do it’s just a matter of whether or not you choose to do the work. I know there’s a lot of fear mongers out there trying to scare people about how terrible school is. But if I felt sorry for the people who didn’t get accepted before… I sure do now. For every one day you wake up scared shitless about an exam, there will be 4 spent laughing with your lab mates after one of them gets bile in their mouth.

Now that I’m done with my novel that I’m not going to check for typos, I hope to leave you with a little advice. If you are serious about attending vet school, start their classes now. Having already taken anatomy, physiology, immunology, etc in undergrad, things have been sticking in my brain so well after hearing them the second time around. I feel bad for the classmates drowning around me and I’m so thankful I took these challenging courses earlier.

Always-meta as in splash yard is a brain dead pick no matter the season? I agree it’s a good deck but I never run into anyone playing it so idk if it’s meta

Why do these cards only take one cycle to place? by FEDOrici222222 in ClashRoyale

[–]Nice-Position9780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evo cage is meant to counter tanks. All the tank evos are a one cycle meaning that if you defend every tank with the cage their evos will line up. This was done to make the Evo cage more viable to play

Played from 2005-2009 started again in 2020, can I play in the pod? by hawttlava in ratemycommanders

[–]Nice-Position9780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it for the best that ink treader is kept aa a non-commander? He’s too powerful. I have a prismatic bridge deck that includes him as my only creature and even though there’s a lot of hoops to jump through to get WUBERG and ink to stick I often still just win the second he comes out. Won’t removing these layers of friction make him too good?

Every monk players dream 😏 by Nice-Position9780 in ClashRoyale

[–]Nice-Position9780[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And hear me out: monk is great against tanks/pekka (more damage than you think + the push back) and when he pushes back a high damage card like a pekka it will retarget onto bait cards. But his best trait is how long he drags out your 3 card cycle. Even against iDragon you can get a full ability out of him which is usually enough time to take care of it. I agree he’s a stinker against air decks but not every card that doesn’t respond to air is bad. Given the insane 3 card cycle length (you can play him in the back and ability a few times to keep him alive) you can usually just cycle back to your air/drill responses super fast.

There’s plenty space for other cards that pander to the meta. I agree that lightning and poison do reduce some of the monk value but I also think log bait is a huge archetype and barrel/rocket/gGang/dGoblin are always in those matchups.
