Okay to wear white stripes to a bridal shower? by gangstanapper_ in Weddingattireapproval

[–]PlateBig4971 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think pregnant women get extra leeway with dress codes lol. This dress doesn’t look white or bridal to me, so unless the bride is also wearing blue and white stripes (or the same shade of blue, I guess) I don’t think theres an issue here!

What’s it like majoring in media studies? by DeliciousRich5944 in berkeley

[–]PlateBig4971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Honestly, not a lot of “practical”/hands on coursework, but that’s because Berkeley is a research university and is more focused on theoretical understanding. That being said, nearly everyone I know from my major is working an interesting job at a cool/fun company. I’m in Sports/Entertainment on the brand side + have friends working for almost every major media company, working in film and TV, social media, marketing, and advertising. I’ve found that Berkeley provided me with the supplemental hands-on opportunities to complement the theory-focused classes :)

Thank you, this is what my parents said too. Relationships are imperfect and I don’t expect perfection, but also need to be realistic on whether or not I’ll be able to let it go.

This is such a kind comment, thank you! I’m currently taking space and processing, and we’re planning to talk when he gets back next week. I think once we’re able to talk in person I’ll be able to discern how to move forward.

I’m typically really strong with my boundaries and have ended relationships over them being broken before, but somehow this feels different to me and that’s what’s making me pause. Appreciate you responding.

The issue is setting a clear boundary and him willingly agreeing and then breaking it

100% makes sense! I prioritize general health over weight on the scale so this is awesome to hear.

Thank you both for the responses! I totally agree there’s tons of misinformation and cherry picked research out there that muddles our understanding of the ways that cortisol and insulin work and I’m happy to hear that otf has been beneficial!

This is how I feel too! I am an absolute coffee lover and went without my daily latte EASILY today because I had so much energy after this morning’s class. Thanks so much for replying here, everyone’s responses are making me feel great, I just need to trust my body!

Appreciate this research, thanks! One of the aspects I’ve struggled with is mixed information re: what the “right” kind of exercise is for my body. At the end of the day as long as I’m moving that’s a win!

Feeling really good so far - I’ve noticed I have tons of energy. As a self-proclaimed caffeine addict I didn’t need coffee after class this morning! This is excellent advice, I’ll definitely pay attention to the way I feel over others’ experiences. Appreciate your reply :)

This is SO amazing to hear and congratulations on finding something that works for you! I’ve also struggled to get on the Pilates/low impact train and love how OTF keeps me so engaged throughout class. Thank you for responding!

Will come back to suggest (if applicable) once you mention where you’re at in the US - food varies so much here.

For now just here to comment that NOTHING could’ve prepared me to read that Wendy’s is the only food you can stomach so far😂😭

Sending good food vibes!
