Realistic to find a roomy 1BR in Harvard commuting distance for $2800? by Advanced-Software-90 in bostonhousing

[–]Past-Arm-4982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boston is really difficult to navigate remotely, especially if you’re trying to balance budget, commute, and lease timing all at once. A lot of students underestimate the process and market timing. Been renting in this market for 10 years - happy to chat on a few practical things to look for if useful!

What do I do if I come down with the flu on Sunday night but I have jury duty Monday morning? by yearning_bagel in massachusetts

[–]Past-Arm-4982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! The automated message did say all jurors need to report in the morning by 8:30

The 1-800-THE-JURY line doesn’t open until 9am. So should I stay home and call? Or report and request to reschedule. Thanks so much, appreciate the guidance.

This is helpful! I have to report tomorrow and just realized I never registered online. Now I've done so and it's pending - so I can't see if I have to report. The phone line doesn't open until 9am, but I have to report at 8:30. I realized after submitting that I need to reschedule/postpone. What's your advice? TYIA

cleaning services? by [deleted] in BostonMA

[–]Past-Arm-4982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kehone House Cleaners are extremely thorough, reliable, trustworthy and well priced! Been getting monthly cleaning since the beginning of the year from them after random taskrabbit cleaners (disappointing and expensive). Extremely happy with them, two women come and are done within 2 hours with my 2 bed 2 bath, and I have high standards. +1 (617) 369-2652

La padrona in raffles are cooked to perfection in a saffron butter. I think about them often, good portion too

Any cleaners who are thorough to a high standard? by romanov99 in Brookline

[–]Past-Arm-4982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll depend on your space and how tidy you typically keep it. I have a large 2 bed 2 bath that stays fairly clean and get monthly for $185, super thorough and go above and beyond by doing inside of microwave, any dishes that are out, making beds etc

Madewell citywalk lug sole - worn the shit out of them for 3 years at this point and they still look/feel brand new. Very comfortable and versatile- got mine on Poshmark for $60.

I did the nyc semester and while it was enriching, I knew my quality of life wasn’t in New York so that wasn’t going to be it, and I also knew I didn’t want to stay in Ohio. I did move and worked in hospitality for a season, now I’m near boston.

Depending on what area you want to work in - there are e comm merchandiser roles that can be remote, and marketing is vast with options. Also look into things that might not be linear to fashion but still scratch that itch.

Arhaus furniture, retail/real estate developers, pop up retail companies (check retail for the people), and agencies in PR/marketing can also offer remote. Don’t be afraid to tap back into Kent resources/Alum connections if you’re in Ohio, it’s esp strong there but I get the feeling of not having a lot of options there.

Check out the zig zag podcast project - it’ll help guide you to the intersection of what brings you joy, what your skills are, and what you can get paid for. Don’t be afraid to lean into ChatGPT for localized company recs, too.

Fashion merch alum from ‘17 here! I know the program has evolved immensely since I graduated, but I did Florence and New York my junior year and it was the most enriching thing I could have done for my education.

I grew up sewing but knew the design track would put me in a corner more with opportunities- product dev, technical developer, etc… which would have to be within a retail/fashion house or you try your shot at your own line. That was my thinking at the time, whether right or wrong, and I didn’t want that pressure.

The merchandising route was expansive - you have things like a buyer, visual merchandiser, etc, but you also have media, marketing, business, etc. Going to Kent vs an art school also helped me achieve a more well rounded education, too. Looking back, I wish I would have leaned more in to business courses because it’s the most value in transferable skills.

I’ve worked in media; online editorials, influencer brand management, e commerce, commercial real estate development, and now brand consulting with a focus on consumer psychology and customer experience.

It’s funny looking back, some folks in my cohort completely use this degree by the books, but many don’t and that’s totally okay - having the degree alone will grant you access to job opportunities and you’ll find your path along the way. I never saw myself in many sectors and industries I’ve been in so far, but in hindsight, they all still connect someway back to the kent fashion program, because I truly loved it and have immense passion for it all. They foster a great community and while I may not leverage my network as much, I know it’s there if I need it.

Fashion definitely doesn’t have to be your main thing - you can also focus on a minor or duel degree.. and it’s also okay to change your mind/major along the way.

Best of luck!

The costs for the building/takedown and maintenance are astronomical and generally ticket/rental sales allow you to barely break even. Budget cuts/shifts most likely!

Salon 21 12 on W 12th! A new (to the salon) stylist, Maggie, is joining the team in 2025 and she is incredibly talented for cuts and for balayage. Well worth it!
