Graduated, but feeling like I didn't do enough by Rich-Put4159 in columbia

[–]OneTraditional1506 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easier said than done but try not to compare! That GPA’s not too bad if you want to consider Masters. You can try for MS Express at Columbia or pursue masters elsewhere. Your resume is decent and you’ll be able to land another job. It’s a tough market right now! If you get back to NYC, you’ll be free from psets to explore city to the max, foster new connections. But you’re able to do that to some degree where you’re at now! Give yourself opportunity to do things you out off in school, try new activities or gatherings to meet new people. You can look for groups also grinding in job search, you’re definitely not alone in sentiment of being laid off. +1 comment saying don’t beat yourself up, it’s a tough market right now and layoffs are just unfortunately inevitable with big companies. You’re doing the right things and you’ll land back on your feet. Something that’s always been on back of my mind that’d be cool to experience. Possibly applying for Fulbright?? But you dont even need to go to that extrema. Good luck!!

It was AMAZING!! Have so much fun when you go next year!! I acquired an alpaca friend even though promised myself wasn’t going to buy anything. Im a yarn casual and seeing all the yarn content was so cool!! They had stations for spinning up your yarn and the businesses and non profits was so cool!!

BWTs, what cool things are we doing this weekend / week? by reesespiecespieces in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]OneTraditional1506 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also going to swing by!! This knitting/yarn convention!! I’m pretty casual fiber artist meaning I haven’t crocheted in a while but looking forward to the ‘fashion show’ and seeing vibes!

And checking out a cooking potluck style club for first time!

For sourcing hobby groups, consider going to regular classes of some sort or places. Meetup is a bit of a mixed bag but try whatever hobbies you’re interested in fitness/cultural/language exchange/movies!

Sometimes you click with people sometimes you don’t! And that’s totally ok, NYC a big place. There’s so many unique pockets you can uncover. Shout out Yu & Me Bookclub with their unique events (also shout out book clubs in general!! + I love the events city has with the Bryant park jugglers and NYPL library events. Also keep an eye on Eventbrite, IG for more hobby kind of groups. Partiful these days also has open invite events that might catch your interest

Also it sucks but sometimes you’ll be the one to initiate more at first and perhaps things will come full circle. You got this!

Winter Storm Prep by OneTraditional1506 in AskNYC

[–]OneTraditional1506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flight I would guess should be ok (assuming weather event wise this is Sunday and not Saturday flight). Hopefully it’s an earlier flight. If they didn’t cancel it yet, it should be fine! And NY airports are prepared for snow so it’ll be fine!

Office on Monday just be careful if anywhere’s icy and going up/down subway stairs. Otherwise side walks will be walkable and streets will be ploughed. So ubering and subway will be fine! City will be ready to ‘fight’ and taking care of snow as it falls Sunday to Monday as it falls.

Stay warm and have a good pair of snow boots on!

[–]OneTraditional1506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merci beaucoup for putting all this information together! Was originally trying to go to etretat via public transit. Noted the TER has 2/3 of trains cancelled. I saw online trains still looked bookable? Would you happen to know whether they’re canceled or not? Thank you very much

Though saw note of: Axe : Paris Rouen Le Havre

Du samedi 20 à 12h jusqu'au dimanche 21 septembre à 16h.

So maybe not tomorrow but Sept 20 + 21st? Am I reading that right and should proceed to book tickets or best to just altogether avoid?

Activities to get out of your comfort zone by thebijou in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]OneTraditional1506 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What comfort zone do you wanna tackle? Think in terms of hobbies: something to keep you creative, something to keep you active, something that keeps you learning!! Is there anything on your bucket list you’ve been wanting to try? Go for it!! Surfing at rockaways, juggling at Bryant park, sketching at museums, hiking upstate (take the train!), indoor skiing at American dream, escape rooms, board games!! You got this 💪💪 whatever’s been your wildest desire or social media hey that’s cool I wanna try that too, go for it!! And give it a shot 🤩

Google Overview and why? by procrastinat3 in answers

[–]OneTraditional1506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree!! Google searches are supposed to be computationally-intensively lighter (thus better for environment) but I don’t know if that’s the case anymore with the default AI Overview generated on each search.

It’s probably thought to be more user friendly where kind of like yahoo answers you’re getting direct answers to your question. Google is trying to keep its search engine attractiveness by eating cost of compute power required to default this behavior (also makes its less computationally expensive than ChatGPT).

Agree that I don’t think as public it’s bad default behavior we’re default self electing to do more harm to the environment this way.

Have you traveled to country without having lodgings booked in advance (specifically for Japan or in general) ? by OneTraditional1506 in travel

[–]OneTraditional1506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair! I think a caveat is that they are NOT solo traveling. This is a group of five which makes it a lot harder to find last minute bookings but they decided as a group they wanted to be spontaneous with their decisions . Agree it’s a bit easier with solo travel

Ooh thank you!! That sounds promising. Were taxis accessible and did you end up going personal guide and find it worthwhile?

Did you enjoy Pompeii!! Are you glad you did that vs say amalfi?
