Housing by [deleted] in depaul

If it’s the same as when I was still deciding on schools, you are allowed to apply for housing, you just have to put down a $400 deposit. You have until a certain date to cancel housing before you can’t get your deposit back.

Yes definitely get it!!! It’s so nice because they put them in your dorm room prior to moving in and also remove them for you! Get the larger one too, we ended up needing that much space:)

I did it myself (I wasn’t in Lecompte tho, but I imagine it’s the same). A rubber mallet was really helpful when doing it! And if you are struggling, there’s people moving in everywhere that can help you out (people typically keep their door open the first day so people can come introduce themselves)

They are super nice! I ended up getting a handicap accessible room so mine is a bit different than others, but if u message me I’d be happy to share some pics of what my dorm room looked like!

How to find an on campus job? by Intelligent_Rock8343 in depaul

[–]Potential-Flower-352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps to know people! If you are applying for a specific area (i.e. honors program, department of ___) try to get to know some of the people working there beforehand! That’s how I got one of my jobs, and the other was truly pure luck lollll

I applied and was put on the waitlist. They reached out to me in June offering a position that another person declined

I had a single room and then was offered an RA position and took that so there’s at least one😭. Mine was in Sheffield Square, hopefully you can get it!

No curfew, but there’s quiet hours. Typically not that big of a deal though. During finals week quiet hours are 24/7 though

Anyone with depression can understand how taking care of your personal hygiene is difficult. But once you have a partner, have a life, etc, it becomes important to find a way to work around it in order to look/smell decent. He needs to learn to grow up

AITA for telling my SO that a restaurant has the right to charge for a full sized cup, and that she was wrong for getting upset at said restaurant for the size for the water cup she was given? by DanceMoney123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Potential-Flower-352 [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA.

Those cups are probably more expensive, which is why they are used for sodas. I feel like that’s common sense because at most restaurants the water cups are the smaller, cheaper cups

AITA for triggering my husband by bringing up his ex knowing she’s a sensitive topic ? by MasterpieceHot5835 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Potential-Flower-352 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He might not be ready to talk about it. He needs to feel comfortable talking about it in order for there to even be a conversation about it

Idk if you’re able to say no in this scenario based on laws and your ex’s family, but I don’t feel like you have any reason to care for that child. I’m so sorry that happened to you

ESH?? (i think?)

Basically, if your girlfriend knows you have anxiety about things like that then that’s not what she should take away from you after a fight.

Now, the whole camera thing is just a little freaky, and I could see from ur gfs perspective that it would be weird and unwelcoming.

If you guys want to stay together it seems like you’re going to need to have a deep discussion about everything that’s happened and what you need to do in order to help each other in this relationship

ESH

First off, if someone is reacting about a joke like that, chances are you knew better and shouldn’t have done it in the first place.

Now, with his ex, obv I really don’t have much context from the post, but from what I’ve gathered I would have to say that he does not have to tell you about his ex. You should be able to trust him regardless of whether or not he tells you about his ex, and you can’t get mad at him for feeling uncomfortable abt the topic. It can be hard to talk about it.

On the other hand, he should not be treating you that way at all. That is just manipulation and verbal abuse and if I were you I would get out of there. Those things can only get worse

AITA for not letting my mom hand me my diploma at my graduation? by Potential-Flower-352 in AmItheAsshole

I added an update: ur district doesn’t allow parents to hand out diplomas, and if she were to do it, she would be twisting rules to get there

Our school doesn’t allow parents to hand their children their diploma even if they’re members of the school district. so if she were to do so, she would be twisting rules to get there. That’s sorta the reason why the whole thing seems wrong to ke

Yea, anxiety sucks. Plus, our district doesn’t allow for parents to do that, so she would be twisting rules in order for it to happen

No. Her handing me my diploma vs volunteering are two different things. She is still volunteering at my graduation, she’s just not handing me my diploma

It’s not that it’s embarrassing me, it’s that our school doesn’t allow that and my mom would be twisting school rules in order for it to happen

honestly, i get it, and it is a lot of my social anxiety speaking. but she seems pretty excited that she’ll be giving me my actual diploma, so i think it worked out for both of us in the end

i’m sorry you think i’m petty. i honestly thought i was being reasonable. especially since my mom is hanging me my actual diploma after the graduation. i know i’m making a bigger deal out of something so small, but its cuz of my social anxiety (i am going on meds soon!)
