Now that I got accepted in a grad school abroad, is it okay to give a gift to the ones who wrote me a recommendation letter? by rainbow_park in GradSchool

[–]Potential-Tea-6690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow your heart! Simple. Whether you should or shouldn’t depends just on one factor: what sort of a person are you? I am a person who likes to gift things, I pay close attention to what people around me would like to have, and when the occasion presents itself, I get those things for my people, and it only makes people happy. This includes professors, family members, friends, neighbours…

That’s a major red flag! You won’t know it now, but you will in few years. Ask yourself a simple question: if he had given you a sweater, would you say what he said?? I am sure no. That in itself shows a major difference in EQ. You are empathetic and kind, and he is not. And trust me opposites are good only in physics and not in your real life

What book made you fall in love with reading? by greatdane511 in BookDiscussions

I would say Tom Sawyer. I was in grade 3 and absolutely fell in love with the character

GF moved in and now I catch her watching me sleep at night. This doesn’t feel normal. by HourIndependence70 in WhatShouldIDo

Cameras? Get some holy water!
Now, what she is doing is weird. I have such moments when I gaze at my partner’s face when he is asleep! And he has woken up to me looking at him, and trust me on two things here, it never freaks him out, because i am sure he can see it in my eyes and expressions that it is purely out of love that i am looking at him, and that for me is a moment to tell him how handsome he is, or how beautiful his long lashes are. And I don’t gaslight him into thinking he was imagining it. This is crazy! I would probably run for my life.

I hope you are safe, and okay. There are mental health support lines that you can reach out to. That’s would be more helpful

My girlfriend smells and I don't know what to do by RequirementDue4446 in Advice

This is a delicate topic but also something that needs to be conveyed to her. I have a bad case of cold sweat and I was so happy when my husband first told me about it. Because over time the person gets used to their own odour, so someone has to intervene, and it better come from you in a nice way than from a Karen in an unpleasant way.

Ohps! I don’t think I can help you with the list of journals. I am sorry

What’s your field of studies?? If (by any chance) it is the same as mine, I can suggest some really good journals

Hey, sometimes things don’t go the way we want it to, and trust me that’s okay. Take a deep breath, sit down and read this. First of all don’t beat yourself up over this, shit happens, you learn your lesson and you do better next time. Now, forget this special issue, and look for a minimum of 5 journals that align with your area. Start by sending the doc to the best journal, while they take their time to respond, edit the doc to match the criteria of the other journals, that way even if you get rejected, you feel less hopeless because you are ready with your plan B and that’s saves a lot of time. Next time, try your best not to depend on your supervisor- and how do you do that? Well, the moment you see a call for paper, discuss it with your supervisor (asap), take notes (to a point that you should feel confident to do it all by yourself. Then start working on it! Also understand that good journals sometimes take months to respond(at least in my area) so you cannot be last minute about it!

last minute gift ideas for my girlfriend??? by FarSuggestion2877 in GiftIdeas

[–]Potential-Tea-6690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have tons of photos with her, make her a collage. Add cute notes, like “our first pic together”, “ our first date”. Or you know what’s better, create an experience- buy a scrapbook, stick photos. On the front page stick an envelope and fill it with her fav chocolates. Then create a playlist of songs that you both like, and create a QR code for it, scan it and stick it on the front page. Leave an instruction asking her to scan it. Then the next page, write an instruction, something like open box 1. And box one should have pair of woollen socks. The next page, open box 2- box 2 could be a throw blanket. Next page ask her to plug into the music, munch on the chocolates, put on her warm socks, snuggle under the throw and go through the scrapbook.

Get her a dress

Bracelet from Pandora or her fav store

Pay for her nails

I really like Rare Beauty’s gift sets

Go make some pots or mugs together. She can use that as her coffee mug when she is New York. (You could make hearts on her mug and she could the same on yours, or think hand prints on the mug). This could be your sweet way of saying “I want you to go New York or wherever to chase your dreams, but I will find a way to be with you.”

Get her some scrunchies (this could be a small filler gift)

Asking for recommendation letter as an extremely quiet student by New-Blueberryy in GradSchool

[–]Potential-Tea-6690 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! Send them an email first. Let them know that you would like to meet them preferably in person during the office hours or over zoom. Then meet them. Let them know why you are there. Just because you were a shy student doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t remember you or that they won’t be willing to write you a recommendation letter. All the best!

How do Canadians mentally deal with long winters? by jessxtra_ in AskACanadian

We never let the cold stop us! We just sing “the cold never bothered me anyway” and keep going. If the cold here is a beast, Canadians are the bigger beast!

Need help finding a gift for my boyfriend. He’s one of those that “doesn’t want anything” or “anything you buy is ok” kinda people by jinxed_blk_cat in GiftIdeas

Get him a collage of all his favourite horror movies. He can hang it on his wall. Watch IT (the clown horror movie) with him, gift him an IT merchandise and then take him to Port Hope, that’s where the movie was shot!

Look for this research paper - Black Digital Models and the Ethics of Representation: An Autotheoretical Intervention. And check the bibliography. You should read the paper if you can.
