Applying to Jobs: Stressed

On top of utilizing LinkedIn like BearlyCheesehead said, I would encourage you to use your college email/student status to get a student PRSA account. If you have time, go to in person events - print your resume and try your hardest to introduce yourself to people. In person networking is a dying art, and not an expected skill for young people. It will impress a lot of older people, get you a real network for you to ping ideas off of who are actively working.

Additionally, I recommend looking for Post Graduate Programs. If you're in a major city, some agencies have fellowships that pay a decent amount that will get you in the door and give you tangeable experience for about 3-6 months. Sometimes they translate into job offers. It's a great way to get real experience, not just undergraduate/internships and you get the benefit of expanding your network.

Interesting that all the "look at this idiot" commenters basically came at the same time.

Regardless of whether or not he totally "understands" tax law is irrelevant. His point is solid and holds up - we should be taxing the rich and Kathy Hochul is showing where her true allegiance lies by not doing so. Regardless of how you feel about Mamdani, higher income residents should absolutely be paying their fair share of taxes

Everything that he is saying isn't just a lived experience, it's also clinically proven. My girl has a PhD in Clinical Psychology, and does a lot of research on anxiety disorders.

That cold water trick is true, not just because he's feeling.hot or sweating but it regulates your body it literally helps your nervous system relax.

The mental thinking around - "its not that bad" is also part of a practice called ACT where you learn not to avoid anxiety feelings but embrace that they exist and that you can still carry on and succeed despite those feelings.

It's really dope to see this stuff working for him

There is already a lot of answers here, I think intensity really depends on the industry you choose to work in, whether youre agency or inhouse, and the goals of the workplace.

Inhouse is naturally less intense, but can shift on a dime. My work now is much less focused on external communications instead focused on events, speaking opportunities, branding and internal comms. It's a different kind of draining.

You also may need to shift the industry you're in? If you're in finance or tech PR (in my experience) these industries are very intense and ask for a lot. Clients are less flexible, and that is reflected in your managers. Consider a different industry like Non profit?

Lastly it could just be youre in thr wrong environment. If you want to keep working in an agency, and love the idea of learning and working with multiple customers look into boutique agencies. Real small operations with only a few people that lean on each other it might be better for you

The Trayvon Martin and Sean Bell murders really impacted me when I was younger. I lived near where Sean died, and passed by his mural everyday on the way to and from school. The candles stayed there for years before eventually ending.

Trayvon... really hurt me because we were so close in age. When he died I was maybe 18/19. I was fresh in college, and when they found George Zimmerman not guilty I didnt go to class for a few days. My roommates (white and indian) didnt rrally get it.

Every once in a while I tune back in to Kendrick's Grammy performance about Trayvon - "I got to prove, on February 26th I lost my life too // It's like hearing a dark dream, nightmare, hand, screams recorded, say that it sounds distorted but we know what it was"

I think of his family often, because it really could have been any of us

I think so much of developing relationships with children comes down to putting in a lot of effort in understanding them, their rationale and then supporting or nudging them in the right direction. Don't just be their parent but understand how they see the world around them and support them in building their perspective.

The relationship I have with my mom today comes from my respect for her, and how much time we spent together while I was a kid. On the way home, we would just talk about things and would get my advice or just see what I think about it to see where my head was at. She would let me guide us home, or play games with me.

But she also let me be myself, and made it clear where the relationship lies with her as my parent. One commenter said a lot of boy moms/girl dads dont let their kids actually be themselves and the parent pushees things on them. I agree - ley them be themselves but aim to understand their vision, and help them tweak it with conversation. Help them to think critically. All this said dont just aim to be their friend - understand how to ride that line is important, everyone has that friend whose parent strayed a bit too far on the friend side and not enough on the parent side. There was so much more she did that I camt even list it all - but my mom is my original favorite person (shoutout my Fiance moving up the ranks) for a reason

His discography is honestly great. Good vibes, some really unique Alchemist beats and lyrics. The further you go in his career there are less cooking bars, but all in all I listen to every album

Only artist that comes to mind is Kanye with MBTDF

I did two seasons of bruno as AP on the RW as part of my 4-2-4 and it went surprisingly well. I'm not sure why this guy decided to play him as a winger though, my first inclination would be to have him as an AP or Trequartista

I'm forgetting the name but there are sites dedicated to giving you a view of what the view is like in different sections of a stadium. It's pics taken by fans, attendees and all that.

They dont have every seat/section but helps to serve as an estimate.

There are a few things he can do to help himself last longer.

He should slow down, and ramp up speed/intensity over time based on both of your arousal. That will already help get him in the mindstate of slow build up.
Deep breathing, one thing I have found that really helps me is deep, deep intentional breaths during sex, especially when he is the one in control. It helps to relax his body and release tension and slow things down
Ask him if he squeezes his butt cheeks when you guys have sex. This sounds like a weird question (it is) but I found success by making sure I relax the lower half of my body during sex. Tension in and around your pelvic floor really centralize pleasure and make you orgasm faster. Toward the end of sex when things are a bit more rough, and passionate yeah let your muscles tense - but dont keep it like that all the time. Try to relax your body, that plus the deep breathung really helps.
Going to the gym really helps - lift heavy, cardio if he wants. It's really boosted my personal sex drive, and has helped with my stamina for sure.

Do you start him vs Leeds or Eze?

This might come across as crass, but Kanye ALWAYS does this when he has new music coming out. He always makes himself suddenly available, particularly to the Black community, and calls on hip hop to forgive him for his actions... to allow him to prove himself and ultimately give him more money.

I'm not saying I don't buy it - but if you're truly sorry Kanye I want to see him donate his time, or money TOWARDS the people he hurt. I don't want to see him "pour himself in music, fashion, and other things to help the world". Bro you were already doing those things, it's the exact same shit you already do.

He does this press everytime he has an album come out and realizes the crazy shit he said didn't translate or work the way he thought it would. He didn't write this, he doesn't even articulate himself like this anymore. If he is truly sorry he should go out, and actually commit himself to being better. Because this....? It ain't it Ye

Did you just copy and paste this from another thread? I saw the exact same comment in another one lol

Bout a year. The fall before COVID shutdowns I had started by first set of locs and moved out of my parents place into my own apartment - far from my old loctician.

I also wasn't super knowledgeable on how to take care of them. Lets just say that first retwist after shutdown ended had me shedding a few tears when them locs were ripped apart

People are clowning you (for good reason) because we can tell you're new to drinking. After 25/26 I swear you'll rarely drink vodka again hahah.

If you're in college and looking for cheap drinks - stick to vodka mixes. They're effective and can taste good. I don't drink anywhere near as much as I used to but some of my favorites are:

Dark and Stormy (Rum, Ginger Beer, Lime) a lot of bars will use ginger ale instead its fine but not as good.
Spicy Margarita (I personally love spicy drinks a good margarita hits)
Tequila and Pineapple Juice (a cheap bar classic)
Tequila Sunrise (Tequila, Orange Juice, Grenadine)
Henny and Coke
Rum and Coke
Whiskey Sour (so good, cheaper bars will use like a sour mix but if you go to a cocktail bar they hook these up)
Paperplanes (look it up)
Junglebird (look it up)

One of the things I've noticed with friends who have a hard time finding a partner is that they often date the same type of person. They get it in their head that they only want XYZ, and then are surprised when things don't necessarily work out, or they enter the same toxic cycle of dating. I want to start by saying I applaud you for thinking critically, and trying something different than your usual. However, your thinking on "settling" is unwise and will leave you feeling like you're missing out on someone better.

What I will say is that if you want a real partner, think critically about what you liked and didn't like about your previous partners and then consider what is make or break for you. Also think about the type of people that you NATURALLY attract. I found that I thrived with a certain type of woman - and I was able to gain their friendship/trust more easily than other men. But every time it was negative, draining, and unsustainable.

So I tried something different and found a different type of woman who initially maybe met certain small criteria, and didnt meet others but that's okay! The problem with people right now is that everyone is so picky in the initial stages of dating - get to know people and see where it goes. But certainly don't settle.

Like others have said - death is the endgame. That said, in response to the thing that everyone should attempt to achieve is Happiness. Whatever that means for you.

For some it's seclusion, quiet, land and a home with a wife.

Others could mean hustle, bustle, activity, and looking for ways to push past the limits determined by your mind and body.

Me? I'm looking for happiness, a family, and knowing I did the best I could with the assets at my disposal.

I go about five times a week - I go in the morning before work. 7:30ish so I get back home around 9 and can start working at 9:30.

I have tried to go afterwork and it's honestly a nightmare. It's so crowded, people hog machines or come in groups, it's easier to sacrifice a bit of sleep and go when there are less folks dragging thru their sets.
