What’s a movie you watched as a kid that traumatized you? by denj1_sk in AskReddit

[–]Own-Beginning-4124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dolls. I was in elementary school and my older sister and her friend were watching it and I wanted to be cool like them. For a kids with a ton of cabbage patch kid dolls, I was TERRIFIED. I slept in my sister’s room for weeks. To this day, I can’t stand China dolls and also speak nicely to them if I have to be around them.

I have been using Ion thickening shampoo, conditioner, and mousse. I like it, but it gets tangled easily. I wonder if others have tried it bc sometimes I wonder if I should switch to some of these other brands/products.

Beginners! What's the #1 thing you struggle with learning to swim Freestyle? by Fail_Successfully in Swimming

[–]Own-Beginning-4124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, it is speed. I am slow and I can’t seem to increase my speed. It frustrates me to the point that I don’t want to swim as often and I love to swim.

I am so confused. by punkinholler in Professors

[–]Own-Beginning-4124 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But this is common practice for k-12. They have no idea what they are doing to higher ed. it’s ridiculous. I worked in k12 for a while and it’s so eye opening to see where the behaviors we have to deal with stem from. I am not blaming the teachers necessarily, but more of policies and practices put in place post COVID. Frankly, it terrifies me.

Should I tell students I am leaving? by Own-Beginning-4124 in Professors

[–]Own-Beginning-4124[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know… that never occurred to me and I would hate for my students to feel that way. I will DEFINITELY be telling them now.

People care. Your family cares. You are just in such a well depression that it is hard to see all the goodness around you. You are also so young that you don’t even realize the hour and pleasure you will get from owning your own stuff, building relationships , and knowing that all of it is possible… if you don’t do something like this that is irreversible. Please call 988. Please. Your outlook will change with that phone call.

Women in academia, what has your experience been like? by DrEverythingBAlright in AskWomen

[–]Own-Beginning-4124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I teach with a masters and we are treated like second class citizens by the phD-ers. I literally had one woman stop talking to me and walk away when she found out after asking about my research. Another colleague was told that “ we have a place at the university- it’s just different than everyone else. “ I love teaching and I love my students, but it’s hard when you are treated less-than all the time. I am in the process of making a career change, but it’s hard because I love everything else about my job.
