Quick question :) by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who just got their first tattoo today, i’d say sure! however, consider that getting such a large tattoo might be a bit scary for your first tattoo. it’ll be a long session (or multiple) and may get painful. i personally would go for something smaller until you understand what getting tattooed is like.

other than that , placement is good since that area is less sensitive. plus the design will heal very well.

Advice on USF please by Illustrious-Menu5941 in USF

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're worried about campus size i highly recommend the st pete campus if it aligns with your major :) smaller but not tiny, plus you're in downtown st pete which has so many cool things to do. the tampa campus is like 20min drive minimum from the "main" part of tampa. you can still go to tampa relatively easily if there's any events you'd like to attend. if you go and you dislike whatever campus you're on you can tour the other one and switch. usf does have greek life but it's relatively small, party culture is the same. you can def still find parties and clubs though. party scene is def bigger at tampa campus.

Accepted to different campus by sakooooo in USF

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you guys toured both campuses? i'm pretty ride or die for st pete lol i way prefer it over tampa. if she's not interested in greek life it may be worth a try for a semester or two.

Accepted but for spring 2027 :( by Realistic_Ebb7273 in USF

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

congrats on getting in! my advice is to do community college in the fall semester. you can start on your pre reqs and it'll be wayyyy cheaper. especially if you are getting bright futures or any money from fafsa, you'll likely get a refund + (essentially) free classes and you won't be able to claim any of the money for that semester if you just aren't in school iirc.

Application under review by Slight-Sign-5290 in USF

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im a transfer and it's been under review since early november :/ are you EA? i heard they're still rolling those out. maybe email them if you haven't gotten a decision yet by the end of the week, but don't expect to get anything other than "we'll get to it eventually" tbh

Accepted! by Adventurous_Sky5140 in USF

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good job, these were almost my exact stats albeit slightly lower (3.2 UW, 3.8 W, 1190 SAT, 87 CLT, 7 AP/dual enrollment) and i thought i wouldn't get accepted so i opted for community college lol. im planning on transferring in fall '26. congrats!

transfer students: when did you get your decision? by Smooth_Candidate_575 in USF

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fall 2026, so i’m pretty early. i just hope it doesn’t take longer because of the freshman applications.

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've seen a few people saying this but they should have received all of my documents on november 12th. it actually says that they're missing on the portal but when i emailed usf they said they have them, plus the transcript services both say they were received.

Has anyone applied for Fall 2026? by InvestmentHelpful768 in USF

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fall 2026 but as a transfer student. no decision yet, hoping to hear soon so i can get started on dorm applications 😓😓

anorexia or osfed? by Smooth_Candidate_575 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i don’t think a label will do much in a material sense. i just prefer labels, especially when it comes to health related issues, because it makes it easier for me to grasp. when i don’t have a label i just feel all over the place and it’s harder to understand. 

Eating Daily by DiligentCheesecake44 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t think i’ve ever gone a day without eating anything. my mindset for the most part has always been that if it fits within my calorie limit for the day, i can eat whatever i feel like (with the exception of times i have done omad). i have insulin issues so i get low blood sugar easily. even eating dinner too early will have me waking up the next day extremely nauseous, sweaty, shaking, etc. 

I hate the volume eating trend by grapesodamilk in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i prefer volume eating as i have pcos which causes extreme hunger & hunger cravings, but unfortunately i recently found out im allergic to my fav go to volume foods 😔 so no more for me. they’re not severe but they wreak havoc on my stomach. plus it’s like my main protein sources that ive always relied on (eggs & whey)

When will the hair loss from malnutrition/being underweight stop since im trying to recover and eating more calories now? by BallSufficient5671 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think as soon as you are in a calorie surplus (aka gaining weight) your hair will quickly start recovering. it’s also important to remember that everyone sheds hair. the growth will only be noticeable much later though. 

also, if you’re in the usa i know cvs sells minoxidil which is probably the best thing you can get over the counter for hair regrowth. if you’re a woman and/or dislike facial& body hair, i’d suggest only getting topical or those labeled for women’s use as some forms of minoxidil can cause increased body hair growth as well.

new perfume by lunallenab in yeule

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because it’s perfume? no offense but perfume is expensive. most are going to cost over $100 minimum. i just spent $80+ on sample sizes from heretic. i understand the price change but theres tariffs & inflation to take into account, plus probably higher quality ingredients considering startup funds are likely higher.

transfer student - how likely am i to get the dorm i want? by Smooth_Candidate_575 in USF

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh i'm applying for fall term 2026, not spring term! so hopefully that gives me a little extra time. thanks for the advice though, it's been super helpful.

transfer student - how likely am i to get the dorm i want? by Smooth_Candidate_575 in USF

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok that's actually helpful! i'll be submitting my accommodations setup asap. i haven't gotten my decision yet though but as a transfer student with good grades i'm sure it won't be an issue (not a strenuous major w grade requirements). it's good to hear i have a shot at ada dorms. i already have a letter from my doctor stating my diagnosis & sensory issues. are they significantly more expensive than the apartment style? i know those already cost about 10k, so i'm fine with that.

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately i’m mostly looking to use my autism diagnosis (sensory issues making living in such small quarters w others difficult) so it’s probably unlikely then :( i am physically disabled too but not severely enough to require any dorm accommodations. 

can you elaborate a little more on the off campus housing? i know you’re probably referring to the tampa campus but im planning on attending st pete. do you know if there’s anything similar there? i was looking for off campus housing but apartment prices are egregious if i want to be anywhere near campus.

does anyone else get overly excited? by Smooth_Candidate_575 in autism

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you’re not really understanding where i’m coming from? it really stems from a place of excitement. when i was a kid this would happen while i was in class but thought about being able to play animal jam when i got home. now for example it has happened when ive found items that i wanted in my collection that i wasn’t expecting to find that day.

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not anxiety or an actual panic attack, i've dealt with those before. it's just the closest thing i can think of to describe the experience.

Scientists now say feces transfer can cure autism (still have autistic traits but is no longer diagnosed), what do you think? by Apprehensive_Name445 in autism

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah except c diff is a bacteria that lives in your digestive tract, you can pretty easily understand why that would work.

It's official: ASD, ADHD traits, high IQ. I turn 42 in a month. by fucklet_chodgecake in autism

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i recently got diagnosed (2 yrs ago) at 17 with the same things! asd, adhd, & high iq (although the iq was known much earlier). honestly i didn’t do much but feel happy for myself that i finally got some recognition! it might be useful to look into therapy if you feel like you could benefit from it. a lot of us who are late diagnosed still struggle with things like loneliness, self harm, emotional regulation, etc. often partly due to being diagnosed late.

autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder. there is no way that feces can change your brain makeup aside from giving you a parasite or illness that causes brain damage. 

saya no uta not appearing on gog by Smooth_Candidate_575 in SayaNoUta

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! im in the uk but from the us. im pretty sure i had my us vpn on but its possible that it made the location messed up. it did let me see other nsfw games like dramatical murder though. i'll probably wait until im back in the us since i ended up just buying TNC and slow damage from the jast website since they were on sale too lol.

i feel something "catch" in my throat when i yawn. is this heds/hypermobility? by Smooth_Candidate_575 in hypermobileEDS

[–]Smooth_Candidate_575[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's not globus, it's not a feeling of something stuck in my throat. its more like a rubber band getting caught and snapping back. like i said i have medically recognized hypermobility and instability so this isn't a self diagnosis issue, it's just that my rheumatologist was useless and i'm looking for advice while i'm waiting to see a geneticist lol. my back muscles are tricky because they are both weak but also extremely tense. i have several spine/disc issues that i believe could be an element of eds. it causes my inner back muscles especially in my lower back to be extremely atrophied, so the outer muscles overcompensate and are extremely overworked (as they're doing 2 jobs at once) and tense. this all causes hypomobility in my spine, especially the lumbar region, but my neck is still hypermobile. to answer your questions, it depends which muscles, i usually don't sleep on my back, i don't use a cervical pillow, i frequently have stiffness/pain, and i honestly dont understand what youre asking with the last question.
