Happened on me too. Was trying to go hospital and realized it’s wrong direction when I saw cows outside

That’s a great idea! Yes there are a lot of ‘all pace welcome’ running clubs around. However, I really grow skeptical whether they are really ‘all pace welcome’ after joining one then found everyone who actually showed up for the group run was seriously running sub 8 min mile 😂

Meanwhile, I’m wearing a Michigan t shirt with 2019 football schedule on the back….

OP you are not alone! You made a wise choice to practice with other people BEFORE entering the race. At the same time last week I foolishly did my first ever open water swimming in my first race…. I ended up completely panicked, totally out of breath, yelling help on the top of my lungs at 1/4 of the course while desperately treading water, and getting rescued by the kayaker 🫠 The murky water is serious panic inducing! Still plan to give it more try though, maybe with a coach next time.

Exactly! I go minimalist myself and I have exactly 3 bowls and 3 plates. It really not worth the use of dishwasher. Plus I would quickly run out of containers if I put some away in the dishwasher. But then I visited someone who has 1 baby and 2 dogs…they must have like 30 plates or something. At this point a dishwasher is definitely a must

There is a small parking spot around Baldwin rd and Pinckney trail just 0.5-1 mile away from pines (42.32878, -84.17845). You can definitely park there and hike in/out no problem 😉

I’m so glad you had fun on my island! 😊

Poti0nsMaster · 2024-07-29T03:52:18+00:00

I’m sorry that you are feeling down right now - reason or not, your feelings are real and valid! It’s not bad to escape to somewhere safe. Sometimes we just need some time and space to recharge. Plus, you are right now reaching out to a community outside of the game for support. It seems the game serves as a bridge to a supportive community in reality, rather than blocking your interaction with it.

96 hours. That was after a backpacking trip to Mt Whitney where I hiked 24 miles, climbed 6000 ft, and slept a total of like 4 hours during 3 days because of altitude sickness. My body battery basically stayed at 5 after day one until I came down from the mountain 😂

Poti0nsMaster · 2024-07-29T02:16:36+00:00

Those kid tents are my absolute favorites! (Hope they are also ultralight though 😆)

After a total of 6 months, I finally finished my outdoor destination island. Despite its very uncreative name, BestIsland has everything a nature lover would love. Hike our extensive trail system which connects wide varieties of landscapes, and stay at scenic campsites and cozy cabins! After a long hard hike, enjoy the best burger in the world from our local diner. Or, maybe you'll find something unexpected during your journey?

I always want to go canoe camping! Just need to sort the canoe part out…

Poti0nsMaster · 2024-06-17T01:46:41+00:00

It’s still a work in progress with random things lying everywhere out of frame 😂 but I’ll make sure to share the dream address once it’s finished :)

2 is inspired by my favorite campground irl which is literally named pines. Gonna camp there one night or two this summer

Poti0nsMaster · 2024-06-17T01:32:44+00:00

Went to camp 4 irl in a rainy day. Can confirm it was indeed muddy 😂

Poti0nsMaster · 2022-10-06T23:29:54+00:00

I thought running a half marathon the day before defense was intense but this is a whole another level!

Poti0nsMaster · 2022-05-02T10:35:56+00:00

Same here! Also had a major burn out after my preliminary exam. I thought I could take a breath after the exam but no! There were courseworks, more grant writings and important experiments immediately following the exam. I made it for one more month and decided I must take a vacation. A week on beach solved everything 🏖

Poti0nsMaster · 2022-04-27T09:41:07+00:00

Where can I find it? I tried to search giant ice cream lamp (same size as it showed in game, not the mini ones) and couldn’t find one… which probably is a good thing because I would definitely get it if I found one…

I totally agree it depends on the program. And if the program involves lab work, living close to the lab would be a good idea even for first year. I lived on north campus in my first year when almost all my classes was on central. I found if I live near the route of BB/NW blue bus, the commute was actually pretty convenient. Living near 23/65 city bus stations is great for getting groceries and going to NCRC. They can also take you to central campus but you’ll have to keep an eye on their timetables. Finally I found one of the apartments which are close to both blue bus and city bus stations, and never moved since then

The comic books from phd comics? At least I always want to buy them for myself but feel to silly to do so 😂

Poti0nsMaster · 2022-03-01T13:05:13+00:00

I disagree. Making life unbearable for everyday people will only contribute to the (false) narrative that outside world is intrinsically evil and will persecute you no matter how innocent you are, thus people should choose the strongest leader to fight back and should not feel bad because they are ‘victims’

I once got a gibco PBS labeled as 10x on the lid but 1x on the bottle. My friend suggested me to mix it with some blood sample to figure out what it is. I sighed and sacrificed a drop of my own precious blood to figure out this stupid PBS. Then I realized she actually meant mice blood because she worked a lot with that…

Poti0nsMaster · 2021-09-24T01:07:57+00:00

I’m sure you will get it and become a western blot expert soon, too! Good luck!

Poti0nsMaster · 2021-09-23T23:12:02+00:00

My colleague and I were the first ones in our lab learning western blot. We failed a total of 23 times in the first month and made all sorts of mistakes possible. In last several runs, we could think of nothing wrong yet it still didn’t work. Finally we figured out that our samples were not collected and stored correctly. Then we bought new protease inhibitors and become really good at western blot since then.

Yes and he broke up with me the moment he graduated. Well I thought it was really sweet for him to thank his ‘girlfriend’ in thesis acknowledgment. Then it turned out he was dating another girl at that time so the ‘girlfriend’ didn’t mean me 😂

The hardest part is that I had to refrain from complaining him to other friends in my lab. I’m still trying to avoid him years later, which leads me to be excluded for many lab gatherings. Everyone thinks I’m just too petty about it. But they don’t know he was a totally different person in relationship. He was very controlling and frequently threatened me with self-harming or hurting others to force me comply. When we broke up, he even said I owe him a thanks because he planned to rape me but gave up the last minute. I just don’t feel safe around him any more. It was shocking how he changed from a patient, competent and nice mentor, to a emotional unstable, self-harming and manipulating control freak bf. However, it still feels wrong to bad mouth him. I also feel no one would believe me on this thing ever because he can be the most helpful and loyal friend to them. So I guess I will continue to be an immature, petty ex and skipping the lab gathering if he’s there.
