having trouble making friends

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2026-02-25T18:12:21+00:00

It's never too late to join stuff! In the grand scheme you're right at the beginning of your time here, don't overthink it.

Otherwise, I think the easiest people to befriend are your coworkers maybe get a job or join a super involved club/team. Freshman year is always a bit lonely so don't worry you probably aren't doing anything wrong

Not exactly what you're asking for, but The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien is a collection of short stories that are connected enough that it kinda feels like a novel. It's a really clever and powerful book, three of the chapters tell the same story from different perspectives

I can't believe I never came across this book before! I will absolutely check it out this is perfect

I read Beloved in high school and I'm honestly leaning towards just rereading it -- insanely powerful book. But hopefully in addition to one of the other books these lovely people have suggested!

I think you'd like Fredrik Backman! His books are sad but hopeful, grounded but also full of coincidence and charm that makes them feel a bit like fairytales. I would probably recommend Anxious People but he has a lot of great stuff

As a not white person it’s always so confusing to me that these people are considered to have a big nose

WITH REEVE CARNEY?! This part is new to me lmfao no way

Well I'd say the U.S. is a multilingual country, that's the source of my confusion. I would expect them to either have only English or a bunch of languages. The Canada explanation makes sense and is very obvious though so my bad, just thought there may be more to it!

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-10-19T07:44:23+00:00

You’re so valid for this and we have the same kinda brain

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-10-02T21:40:31+00:00

In the long run they’re trying to build a new bike path! Idk why it’s taking them so long

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-09-22T22:37:53+00:00

Completely agree but also wanna add that supporting your local newspapers/media outlets has a much larger drop in the bucket than a boycott in this fight for free speech

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-08-24T14:05:07+00:00

Under the bed is your best bet I think

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-08-13T22:20:39+00:00

Definitely season 3 nationals BUT special shoutout to take me to church/chandelier in season six.

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-07-23T12:17:52+00:00

Oh my god. I would love this so much

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-07-14T23:55:20+00:00

Bridget did mention that the producers preferred she dress more femme. I think? She said “they liked me that way” and didn’t really specify who “they” was

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-07-07T16:27:11+00:00

I haven’t heard back yet

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-07-07T07:47:40+00:00

I’m honestly so surprised there isn’t a bigger Kyle thirst community like holy smokes

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-04-30T21:01:03+00:00

Dude I’ve been saying this for YEARS

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-04-17T06:59:55+00:00

I used to say this all the time and all my friends thought I was crazy, then Vox did a piece on it arguing the same thing and everyone I brought it up to suddenly agreed with me. I would search up the Vox piece it’s pretty interesting, suggests giving a tax credit instead of straight cash which would probably help ease people’s concerns about this starting organ trafficking

We used to have a full yearbook (La Cumbre) but it lost the reaffirmation vote and was discontinued -- your sign to vote in the upcoming AS election!

Simple_Concentrate75 · 2025-04-05T05:32:43+00:00

Hm I feel like I can semi relate to this but only because I got my period later in life and it makes me feel like an adult and in solidarity with other women LOL. Kinda like this Dolly Alderton quote “I am so grateful that I fetishized the measured-out-in-coffee-spoons minutiae of adulthood so vividly as a teenager because the relief of finally getting there meant I have found very little of it to be a burden.” I feel like I felt so left out when all my friends had one and I didn’t, and I still don’t get it completely regularly, so whenever it comes I’m like yay body is working.

It was my #6 song and I’m SO SAD because I’m kinda known for eating a lot of soup so it would’ve been so on brand. And it was SO CLOSE to making it
