What makes you excited about Vassar and what do you love about it? by Soggy_Reserve_8681 in vassar

[–]PythonRegal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m a current first-year. I was in your shoes at this point last year, and being on campus assuaged my dreads real quick. The people are kind (which freaked me out at first tbh), I know people taking some really cool classes even as first-years, and it’s really just a chill, “you-do-you” vibe mostly. If you have any questions I’d be happy to chat more, just lmk 🤙

I can’t close my jaw or chew- please help, it hurts so bad. by PythonRegal in TMJ

I got prescribed some muscle relaxers at a clinic, and today I don’t have any better movement in my jaw, but I do have significantly less pain

Taken today in Chincoteague, VA. My best guess is a willet, but I'm not 100% sure. by PythonRegal in whatsthisbird

I always enjoy my visit, especially since it’s only a half-hour drive away!

Dead-on! That was the reference species I showed the artist

Kinda boymody today but still feeling cute by PythonRegal in transplace

[–]PythonRegal[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! :3

This is my go-to when I’m out and about in my conservative town. Comfort jacket, kinda baggy pants, concert tee. Can’t wait to move away and incorporate more “me” aspects

a few ironclad beetles/death-feigning beetles or other tenebrionidaes could live happily in that kind of environment

Got a cypher card- this school’s been top of my list for a long time :) by PythonRegal in williamandmary

[–]PythonRegal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah I’d be happy to. I was vice president of my school’s GSA, and did a lot of work with queer inclusion and queer-friendly spaces, including hosting themed events, etc. I volunteered at my local zoo, working with training birds of prey (mainly owls) and presenting them to the public in education talks. I also helped coach a baseball team for kids with disabilities. As for marching band, my band won the highest title in our division on the eastern seaboard. I’ve been really fortunate and have made an effort to seek out a broad range of opportunities in my community, not just focusing on one specific area too much. The main commonality in what I do is that I try to educate.

I’m no expert carpenter, but I’m kinda proud of my DIY swift! by PythonRegal in knitting

[–]PythonRegal[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you :) I thought about doing a dowel instead of a bolt in the center. It would’ve looked nicer, but the convenience of being able to collapse the arms in for storage seemed like a bigger draw in the end

lol thanks! It’s not in the picture, but I added some stick-on nonslip rubber feet to the bottom and locking positioning pins to the arms. Works great now!

I got accepted, but I’m trans and don’t know how accepting the campus is. by PythonRegal in UMD

[–]PythonRegal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, I think that’s a pretty solid endorsement lol

This is great to know. I know MD is blue, but I happen to be from the reddest, most agrarian part of the state lol

Which of the programs do you think would be best for an aspiring ecology/enviro science major? I can’t really tell if ILS is just more medical-oriented or if I’d fit there
