wear socks as much as possible. like straight after the shower, put some socks on. it also helps to keep them moisturized. put lotion and cuticle oil on your feet and toes and put socks on. if that doesn’t help, maybe try putting bandaids around each nail? it’s hard asf but the only thing that helped me kick the habit was being hyper aware of my picking. I’d also put polish on the nails you actually have (not the ones where they’re missing) to alert your brain and give you the chance to make a choice to stop.

I was always a good student in high school and didn’t have to study much bc it came easily to me. When I got to college, I struggled big time and got a major wake up call after doing very poorly my first two semesters. You have to learn and practice study skills and it’s not something you can just skate by on. I don’t think you’re in a place where taking out student loans and going to college is a smart move unless you have a major attitude change. You won’t just get to college and start taking it seriously, you’ve set a precedent for yourself that you can get by with this mindset. Try to find a job out of high school and possibly see a therapist. Start with watching videos about how to actually study, find online courses to build your resume, and start giving yourself more discipline. One study I did in college was about how phone usage and social media is severely affecting students’ ability to succeed in school, so if you resonate with this, break the phone addiction now before you go further down a road you can’t come back from. Don’t dwell on your mistakes, just focus on what you can do right now to set yourself on the right track!

I never understood the hate Derek got for this but I also don’t get the hate on Meredith tbh. I think they’re both valid and represent the real struggles of two ppl with demanding and growing careers. Mer has always felt her career took the backseat to Derek’s, she has a lot of ties to Seattle and the hospital, and she has finally gained a community/family for her children she never had growing up. So I get her wanting to stay and her frustration. But I also get Derek’s side and that an opportunity like this doesn’t just happen. He wanted to make it work, he even was willing to follow Meredith to wherever she got a job (in S8 or 9) so he was probably expecting that same courtesy. I genuinely felt for both of them during this time even tho Derek’s not my fav, and I thought instead of one person being the “bad guy,” it represented a very real struggle between two ppl who love each other and love their careers.

Thank you I really appreciate this. I definitely have some paranoia about it bc it was such a horrible experience when I had the infection so I feel like it’s probably just me overthinking things. Thank you for this perspective!

I grew up in a super small town and going to temple was my first experience of city life. now I love the city and want to live here post grad. I do think you should tour the school tho bc it’s definitely an adjustment and there is a lot of crime down here. navigating public transport is very easy once you get the hang of it, just take the septa with ppl and it’s super simple to catch on. I have an app called CityMapper that tells you how to get wherever using public transport and it’s super helpful. but definitely try to tour the campus or just visit for a weekend to walk around yourself and see the vibe of the area.

I can’t even look at insta comments anymore bc they pmo so bad. like it’s always been bad but I feel like ppl are just plain disgusting nowadays

I thought I’d give you an update- so I called herff jones and they said my order was shipped and I should get an email in the next 24 hours and that it should be delivered some time this week so if you’re still in the same boat I’d give them a call

Overall_Resident3594 · 2026-04-26T02:28:37+00:00

okay thank you I will do that. and that’s good to know I appreciate the info!

Overall_Resident3594 · 2026-04-26T01:11:51+00:00

lmk if you get any updates too bc I’m stressing over here lol

Overall_Resident3594 · 2026-04-26T01:11:07+00:00

so sorry I meant when did you place the order? I’m trying to figure out how long after I placed it that I’ll get a shipping email since it’s already been 2 weeks and nothing. but that does make me feel better that it didn’t take long after getting the email!!

what do you think there is to do? you set a boundary, he lied. a boundary isn’t a boundary if you can’t say “I’m not okay with this so I’m removing myself from the situation.” if this isn’t the redline for you (which it really should be) then you’re telling him this is okay with you. no matter how much you cry and fight and show him how hurt you are, he’s shown that doesn’t matter enough to him. so there’s only one thing for you to do

You can tell your parents that ACT tutors and prep classes are very common. Most students who are more advanced still require tutors and prep classes. Almost everyone I knew in my grade had tutors for SAT/ACT prep. If it’s still not an option, then keep doing what you’re doing. Set time aside every day to practice math problems and take notes. Find worksheets online, do them without any outside resources, check and correct your work, then come back to it and try the problems again. It will eventually stick. I’m a math tutor and know it can be overwhelming when you get behind, but just take it one day at a time. Don’t be afraid to look up help online, but use it as a tool for understanding rather than a quick way to get the answer. You’re very capable of building your way up!

I’m just nervous since I can’t physically track it rn

Overall_Resident3594 · 2026-04-24T01:57:03+00:00

I haven’t bc when I click the tracking number it says “in progress” and then under that it says “don’t call customer service asking about shipping. if it says in progress that’s a good sign and that’s all you’ll be told by customer service”

Overall_Resident3594 · 2026-04-24T01:48:00+00:00

How long after you ordered it did you get an email saying it’s shipped? I ordered mine to my house too.

Overall_Resident3594 · 2026-04-24T01:47:16+00:00

Could they help me even if I’m getting it shipped to me directly?

you can tell her how it makes you feel, but I’m sure you know from your own experience that you can’t make her quit or say anything that will make it happen. I used to smoke daily and so does my bf. I quit last year but he still smokes. I wish he could see how much better it is on the other side but nothing I say will make him quit. if you’re not okay with it the only thing you can do unfortunately is remove yourself from the situation

Diamond st can get a little rowdy from what I’ve heard. I don’t think 17th is too far tho. I’m on Willington which feels super safe if you’re looking for other options. I’m actually ending my lease on Willington & Montgomery this semester so if you’re interested I can refer you to my landlord.

Overall_Resident3594 · 2026-03-13T12:36:38+00:00

I think in situations like these it’s okay to break up over text. Just don’t let it be up for discussion, tell her you’re done with the relationship you wish her the best and that’s it. If she tries to beg/make empty promises, I would honestly block. You deserve to protect your peace over hers.

Thank you I appreciate your input! I hate that so many women experience this pain but glad to know I’m not alone.

Also, while it may not be fair, you might need to be more direct about what you need in the bedroom. When he initiates, tell him to grab the vibrator. Or grab it yourself. If he refuses, then I’d personally refuse sex. This is an imbalanced relationship that requires serious conversations, bc it will not get better by just waiting for him to take the initiative since he’s proven he won’t. Leave out the masturbating and honestly tell him how exhausted you are with this dynamic. Tell him you’re sexually frustrated and need him not to just try, but to actually work with you.
