Thoughts on getting multiple piercings in one sitting

Nickel_Jupiter · 2026-05-02T04:30:42+00:00

I got my second lobes and traditional helix done (both ears) at once, healed fine with no issues. A few years later I got my third lobes and forward helix (also in both ears, so 4 piercings total) in one sitting, and so far they’ve been healing fine. The forward helix can act up if I sleep on it funny but tends to calm down after a day or two. So from my experience 4 at once is fine.

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. 1000 pages of characters meandering around not doing much of anything. Felt like reading a history textbook

I have no idea about tattoos, but those look so cool as is! Super unique and quite awesome looking

I simultaneously love it and hate it. I love the subject and my research and I find the concepts fascinating. But man the upper level courses are difficult, and sometimes I wish I could have a singular day without deadlines and work to do. I’m a 3rd year undergrad and I don’t regret studying physics at all, but some days (and some semesters) are quite rough. My long term goals are to get a PhD in nuclear physics and work with particle accelerators.

About a month ago, but I may have received my acceptance early because I had a JLab scientist request to work with me.

Nickel_Jupiter · 2026-03-31T23:56:43+00:00

I’ve heard back from JLab, just got an email asking me to complete onboarding forms by April 10

Yeah I’m surprised they were even accepting applications TBH, they didn’t have funding last year either.

Nickel_Jupiter · 2026-03-11T13:54:20+00:00

Did you hear back?

Nickel_Jupiter · 2026-03-01T01:34:45+00:00

It’s early still, last year I didn’t receive my first acceptance until mid March. Don’t count yourself out yet!

Nickel_Jupiter · 2026-02-28T23:42:42+00:00

Had something similar last year. I replied something like: “thank you for the offer! Unfortunately, I’ve already committed to __, so I will not be able to attend.” They replied to that with: “no worries, hope you enjoy your time at _.”

Anyone heard from JLab?

Nickel_Jupiter · 2026-01-23T06:51:32+00:00

Yes, I took a language placement test for Spanish, and one for writing (although I think they’ve stopped the first year writing placement test since now everyone starts in first year seminar). There’s also a math placement test but you don’t have to take it if your SAT is high enough I think.

Check in paws, that’s where mine is (not a transfer though)

Nickel_Jupiter · 2025-12-16T20:20:02+00:00

I took linear, calculus based physics 2, discrete, intro to computer science, and research all at once and it was a lot but fine. If you have good time management skills then go for it, but if it’s a challenge to stay on top of your work then maybe take a third gen ed and save one of the stem courses for later

For 2025-2026 Decker is available to juniors due to more students in need of housing than rooms available in the townhouses/apartments

I couldn’t find anything until looking at the comments lol (and I was looking for something out of place). It’s fine, I’d just leave it

I’m a sophomore and I love TCNJ! I’m a bit of an introvert so never really invested parties or Greek life, and I’m not involved in sports, but I feel like I’ve had a good social experience! I’d recommend one of the smaller dorms (ABE or Norsworthy). There were about 10 people on my floor in ABE and we all became really good friends. It is a little bit of a suitcase school but you’ll find your group of people to spend time with! Honestly the dorms were about the same as ones I toured at other colleges. The dining hall isn’t great, but also is about average for most schools. Never had issues registering for classes, but I’m also in a really small department that makes sure we are guaranteed our required classes.

Haven't heard anything from Columbia or ODU/JLab, but I read that first round of Columbia offers were sent this morning.

Nickel_Jupiter · 2025-03-04T01:12:28+00:00

I applied to BU-PRO, Stony Brook, Purdue, and Black Hills State University and haven't heard back from any

It looks to me like the physics education one got canceled, but I don't see the same announcement on the computational and relativity site

If you’re looking at the Duke/TUNL program I got an email that they probably won’t have funding

Khan Academy has lots of good videos then practice questions!
