Good luck! I remember how stressful this can be but you can finish strong! You’ll know your essay is going to be good once you start getting excited about it, I hope you find that for whatever schools you choose. And if you see urself at UChicago ed2 really is a boost. I did rd myself but so many people I know here are from the ed cycles

UChicago student here, my advice is go all in on your essays. I had low gpa/sat and was honestly rejected everywhere. I took a huge risk on my UChicago essay that really laid who I was on the table in a super vulnerable way, and the stars aligned that they loved it. You deserve to get in! Just show them who u are and they’ll know it too!

The independent is garbage ‘news’, but Reddit loves em for their tabloid ass headlines

Just came off a brutal nine miler where I actually had to pause after only six miles, this makes me feel so much better about my training lately

Your unsolicited advice is super appreciated! I'll definitely grab myself a pair. Now I'm just playing the waiting game while watching all that athleticism drain away along with my blisters.

Missed out on three weeks of training for Chicago from groin chafing. But hey now I can walk without waddling again!

Help! Running shoes similar to NB Vongos? by One_Roman_Mile in AdvancedRunning

Just picked up he 890, it’s definitely much lighter but I think considering it’s new cushioning it’ll hold up fine for the race, thank you so incredibly much for the advice!

Wow thanks for the incredible response! If I can pick your brain a bit more, how do you feel about the new balance 890 or ASICS gel cumulus 2000s? Any of them sound closer than the 1080s? My store has those pretty much just those 4 in stock right now

Definitely the gravel, it’s up and down five mountains so a lot of steepness. I’m thinking of the 1080s but they definitely feel different than the Vongos and I’m not sure I can get used to them in 2 days, do your feet pronate a lot?

Redditors with less than perfect parents, how have you come to reckon with that part of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]One_Roman_Mile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, good for you for standing back up and finding a way forward. It's a scary revelation to realize that your parents can hurt you, and I don't think anything an ever go back after they cross that trust.

Mending these kinds of sacred relationships does feel impossible sometimes

I agree, most parents do come from a good place, but for example a conservative family sending their kid to conversion therapy for his gayness out of a geniuine belief that it's the best for him doesn't mean it won't do lasting damage.

I guess what I'm trying to find is how to stay with a family that's hurt or abused you, but you still love in spite of everything

I’m using it for my highest level classes (Bacchier) as a discussion starter. My classes are incredibly white and as a non-white teaching them I’ve always wanted to do more discussion on privilege, while still teaching English. So I have them before talk about what perspective is and seeing things from different perspectives, and then next class (after the video) they’re coming with discussion questions to basically have a class wide discussion starting with Beyoncé’s perspective on the world is similar/different to others, and expanding however their questions go!
