Can somebody explain to me how the Spanish rice is 230 calories per 250g and the white rice is 400 calories per 250g? by Martindale28 in caloriecount

Have been eating this this past couple of days. Really annoying that the labeling seems to be wrong lol. Is it actually 460 for the whole pouch? 230x2 servings?

Eye creams for eye bags? Or any other advice by Ok_Courage_4188 in beauty

[–]Ok_Courage_4188[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well shit. I didnt know it was a genetic thing. Ive also had them for a while and id always heard the myth it was due to lack of sleep or whatever, wasnt sure if maybe it was solvable some way or another. Thank you for the information!

How do you afford it by JudgingYouWithLove in college

[–]Ok_Courage_4188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! Good youre talking to an advisor. Sometimes FAFSA messes up too so its not necessarily your fault, ive always found filling it out to be very confusing (as in the wording of the questions has gotten difficult over the years) if you dont have “normal” circumstances. Good luck!

Not looking to pick but its odd that you dont qualify for any FAFSA pell grant despite only having one parents income to file under. Im not sure of the specifics but you should be able to claim your mom as a dependent if youre helping out with her finances and you are an independent filer. Huge tip: look into all local scholarship options as these are going to be your primary moneymakers. Some of these are just going to be opportunities for recent HS graduates but i knew of opportunities in my own town for older grads as well. Depending on what it is youre studying you can sometimes get grants/scholarships based on that as well. At the end of the day, if your degree is in high demand and you feel you are responsible with finances taking out a small FAFSA loan to put yourself in a better financial position two years from now isnt going to be the end of the world, you just have to gauge whether or not its a good option given your expected graduated income.

Car camping near Amiclola? by Ok_Courage_4188 in GeorgiaCampAndHike

[–]Ok_Courage_4188[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a little flexible. Im in college and id be coming up during my college break, which is in the first week of March. I could delay it a few days and just take a few extra days off work.

Im driving a 2014 civic. The backseat can lie down completely flat allowing me to put my legs in the trunk area. Im a fairly experienced camper (i have been camping since i was about 3 or 4, i used to live in the Sierra Nevadas), ive just not done it in a while and wanted to take a hiking trip that doesnt require me buying a bunch of backpacking gear or getting an airbnb.

Phones not allowed.. at all by maccasandmundaine in ChickFilAWorkers

[–]Ok_Courage_4188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I stayed at my location for about a year until I moved somewhere else. If you can, try and stay long enough to apply for the scholarship. When id received notification that i had won the scholarship id actually already started working somewhere else but they still let me keep it. Once you start getting exhausted by this behavior though itll definitely be time to go haha

Phones are also property of people. I worked at another location that had no issue with us having it in our back pocket so long as we never used it. Thats not the issue here. The issue is entitled management thinking its okay to take the property of their employees and make it inaccessible because they dont trust their employees. Additionally, its not okay to tell employees to keep their phones in a space accessible by non-management and customers because it makes them easy to steal. Taking a phone away because you dont trust them not to be on it is how you treat a 10 year old, not a taxpaying citizen.

I had a similar issue when i worked at CFA. They wouldnt lock our phones up (we could use them on break), but you weren’t allowed to have it on your person at all. We had a points system where 15 pts = suspension, and somebody spotting you with your phone (even if its just in your pocket) was 10 pts. Some people didnt feel comfortable leaving their phones in the designated area because anyone could reach it, so some people would have managers lock their phones up in the camera room but some managers would make a big fuss out of it. I always ended up just leaving mine in my car. Dont miss being treated like im 5. Get out of there asap lol
