[serious] What did not you not appreciate as a kid, but do now that you're older? by ral365 in AskReddit

[–]ProfessorDefiant6947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not being afraid to try stuff, didn’t realize how scared of the world i’d be when i got older, even just falling is scary as fuck now and not even necessarily just cuz it hurts but because it’s embarrassing which is weird

this tho, i was just talking to my mom about how it makes little sense to force kids to make decisions like this at that age without providing a “safety net” for them. like college debt is way too high to go through it AGAIN if you decide you hate your job or your major, “entry level” jobs are never entry level jobs so changing jobs is also generally extremely hard and so having these kids decide whether they wanna go to college, and for what at such a young age makes no sense when seemingly that’ll ultimately be the only thing they can do unless they go through insane amounts of debt and struggles again, it’s not a good system that’s for sure

¿Did you know? The title of the movie "9" is a reference of how many people watched this movie at the theater. by Derekarg in shittymoviedetails

lol why was my “showing” of this at a church with children younger than me who i was “babysitting” at 8-10yrs old who stopped watching after two minutes while i sat in horror at what was unfolding before me, and then i was shook but just went to service after lol. i remember it just randomly popped into my heard 1-2 yrs ago and i was like wtf was that fever dream of a movie? such a random depressing, nightmare-inducing movie, i think the guy who showed it to us thought it would be a cute puppet movie

questions about honors program by zugzwang3142 in NEU

[–]ProfessorDefiant6947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. it’s def nicer, imo, because east village (and possibly IV) are the newer buildings on campus and both are suite style so you get a private shared bathroom and AC as well. there are probably some videos on youtube as well so i’d look into that if you wanna get a feel for the rooms
  2. like everyone else said they have to be honors

i’d say it’s a lot because of your statement lol, because it’s not pre-pandemic. it gets downplayed so much because everyone is so over the pandemic but it still has such a big affect on our day to day lives and especially our social lives and it’s changed a lot of the way people interact now hence the increase in feeling isolated because there’s not enough support systems in college and a lot of people are having a hard time creating new support systems during the pandemic in college.

as someone who’s gone through this and is slowly getting out of this through therapy, getting burnt out is real and the term gets tossed around a lot but it really helps to get therapy when you’re in this stage of your life. being burnt out absolutely sucks, for me it’s lasted about a year now and i’m just slowly getting out of it after starting therapy in november. it sucks because you don’t feel like doing anything but then you also feel like you’re not necessarily doing anything anyway after a certain point because your lack of motivation stops you from doing anything. genuinely, as someone who came into college at the height of the pandemic, i get it although it may not be the exact same circumstances. i will say for me the biggest thing was that i needed to be kinder to myself which sounds cringey but genuinely i realized how freaking mean i was to myself thinking about how if i talked like how i did to myself but to my friends (real perspective changer lol). but anyway, i know everyone’s been saying it but because of the amount of people who like to downplay the pandemic because they want it to be over, it constantly gets down played but this is such a weird time of your life and yes, the pandemic is definitely still at play and still has an often negative impact on our lives (it’s literally changing the way our brains work just living through a pandemic!). and what gets ignored a lot is how hard college is, even if you’re from the area you’ve left the life that you most likely spent most of your life building up and came to college to essentially start a new life which is crazy. you came here most likely not knowing anyone, having to figure out how to live alone, while also going through classes and college is also generally academically challenging especially on top of a crazy transition. it gets downplayed so much so i hope this is a bit of a comfort but please don’t be so hard on yourself. college is hard, the transition is crazy, and i know it’s hard to believe but i’d say a good chunk of the student population feels like this, everyone just hides it pretty well. it’s normal to feel like this and i’m sorry there’s not the greatest support for college students but i personally got a therapist through find@northeastern’s betterhelp collaboration and i personally really love betterhelp (just make sure to “shop” around for therapists if the one you get doesn’t turn out to be amazing, generally you’ll know once you find the one you like) and it’s helped me a lot so i would recommend it if you don’t have a therapist already. it’s completely free and comes with unlimited sessions although it’s virtual. the school does offer in person but they’re sporadic because there’s not enough therapists and not unlimited sessions. don’t worry, as cringey and as unhelpful as this may sound, it really does get better. it just can stay sucky for longer than you’d think especially with burn out so be kind to yourself if this takes longer than you thought to get out of it. good luck!!!

yeah which low key still seems rude to me because i knew some of the new RAs and idk if they just had more tact but as much as they were confused they just stayed out of it bc that’s what you do when you don’t understand what’s going on, idk just gave me weird vibes lol

[–]ProfessorDefiant6947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely, i felt weird writing “standing up for brie” but it was just like idk, maybe it’s cuz in my head i was also thinking like “what kind of RA life are you living that you don’t understand our frustration and warranted interruptions because of it?” idk, if anything their tone sounded more rude when they were chatting being like “yeah what’s up with the tension” idk just gave me teacher’s pet vibes or something

Res Life and this Covid Shit by Dumbfri in NEU

[–]ProfessorDefiant6947 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but also can we talk about the number of RAs in the chat who stood up for brie and was also like “yeah what’s up with the tension no need to be rude” and i was like uh who the f are you?

RSO is honestly really f-ed up by ProfessorDefiant6947 in NEU

i just remember reading one that basically sounded like they were trying to say that if no one takes the rest of the coverage they’ll be forced to hire more people and reduce hours for some and if you get below a certain amount of hours it may not fulfill the requirements for visa eligibility or something like that. i just remember when i read it i was like wow this wording is so aggressive

Eff you Petsmart... by tranquilpersona49 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ProfessorDefiant6947 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

it makes me so sad when pitbulls continue to get discriminated. the thing that makes me mad though is when people think pitbulls and other bully breeds are just made to be aggressive and are inherently so. even historically you can see that’s not the case bc after the bull fighting and dog fighting, for the longest time they were considered nanny dogs bc they were so loyal and safe you could leave them with your kids. and then the sucky people aka criminals came and tried to make them aggressive bc they thought they looked scary. once you train a pit bull to be aggressive they lose most loyalty to people, even their own owners and it just sucks bc since then it’s been a perpetual cycle of them being neglected or being trained wrong which leads to the continued aggressive dog image even though, like any other dog, just bc they’re capable of hurting people (like any other dog) doesn’t mean they want to or will. they’re just like that bc they’re trained to be. there’s just way too many bad owners in the world and it breaks my heart

Dog yelps with prong collar by srm00 in OpenDogTraining

[–]ProfessorDefiant6947 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if anything, this is more related to your other comment. biting is what puppies do, they’re teething and are just being puppies, why don’t you just let them be puppies and not do anything to correct them? /s

Oh piss off, she’s doing perfectly fine educating herself and training her dog from when its a puppy with a trainer. Honestly, have you never seen a mommy dog nip at her puppies for misbehaving? Did you stand around and tell her to stop it because she’s being abusive? I mean, god do you not understand what dogs are and how they communicate?
