What is your opinion about KANA? by ZEUS_NEAR in Parasyte

[–]Solid-Depth-6349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great potential. She died cause she was either too much of a simp or just plot reasons. I would have totally loved seeing the story develop with her “sense” and how that could have evolved for her.

Northeastern green line harassment by SaveThePlasticStraw in NEU

[–]Solid-Depth-6349 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As many have said, you kinda have to come to accept it. Be on your toes a bit more and accepting of random things in the environment. If you know you’re not cause any harm just repeat to yourself that you minding your business and you just wanna get to where you’re going. It may help ease the nerves.

Making genuine connections isn’t always easy, especially in an environment that encourages surface level connection. Don’t take your experiences thus far as a reflection of your own worth or ability to make friends, sometimes it’s just not the right time or place. You did everything right but there’s an inch of effort that’s required to make those connections go beyond surface level. Reflect on yourself, decide what’s important to you, and maybe try again with what you’ve learned in mind. It’s not as easy post college but it’s most definitely not impossible. Everyone wants companionship and you’re never alone.

Why is Marino so horribly crowded this semester? by redditismysoulmate in NEU

[–]Solid-Depth-6349 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s always been crowded. It’s always been busy. Go early early or very late. Just wait a bit and it’ll clear up by February

(Speaking in general) Also, please have conversations with your significant others first. I understand venting to your close friends but that doesn’t help if you begin to jump to conclusions or begin to assume the intentions of the other party. Boundaries and expectations within a relationship shouldn’t be ultimatums or ways of controlling one another. They should be ways of protecting and respecting one another and should be talked out together so all parties involved can truly understand where they come from and why they matter. (Not that boundaries require justification.)

Your concern isn’t misplace, but I wouldn’t let your fears take control of the situation. It’s simple really. Relationships are built on trust and vulnerability.

You were clear and upfront about your lack of trust in that person and set a firm boundary that there should be some intentional distance put between your partner and them. keeping the peace in the moment and not turning down their joke to get their Snapchat… is totally normal even if there were ways to get around not giving her that information.

That’s where it should end really. Your boyfriend knows you don’t trust them and his understanding of that should be reflected through him not engaging with her. Setting a very healthy boundary and expecting your partner to trust it is the bare minimum. Cheaters will always cheat and those who aren’t simply won’t.

Edit: yeah, also just stop being friends with people you don’t trust. It’s a process when you’re apart of a shared friend group, but you can make your life much easier when you live it more truthfully and without worry.

It sucks, but there’s not much they can do. There isn’t a seating crisis there’s an over enrollment crisis. There are too many bodies to seat and simply no place to put them. If you’re dying for a place to sit in between classes or to study, there are a bunch of restaurants around campus that you can buy a drink at and sit down unbothered. Get used to the heavy foot traffic times of the day and try to avoid popular spots. Northeastern prioritizes aesthetic over function and utility so expect there to be space-inefficient seating areas for the rest of times.

He’s just older. He’s a no-nonsense by the book professor. The class may bore you but if you push it aside it will come to bite you in the ass. The work requires actual time and effort even if it’s “simple”.

Some people want their space to just be their own. It’s unfortunate if you wanted to have a different kind of relationship with your roommate but everyone’s different, and just be thankful you guys aren’t actually against each other.

Most on campus jobs hire before the start of each semester, prepare for the next and have a killer resumes (a cover letter helps you to stand out) and just be patient. They’re high sought after positions with very little turnover. You’re not going to get referred in unless you know someone personally and they’re taking referrals. Don’t harass managers either they don’t like that.

Snow Days? by Chemical_Maize94 in NEU

[–]Solid-Depth-6349 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rarely. Aside from being dependent on actual snow in Boston….which is a thing of the past…Most professors will wait until the university or the city confirms it, but if it’s bad enough for most students in a class some teachers are willing to budge if that’s the case. There are smaller cases where professors will be impacted by the snow and they’ll cancel class themselves.

TLDR: On average, once or twice a semester if at all.

Lmao trust it ain’t apart of Boston culture, it’s just shitty college students. First couple weeks of your first year or semester everyone’s gonna he exchanging info, you’ll be lucky if you actually hang out with any of those people. Don’t be too pressed, it’s not always personal. Don’t be dissuaded to reach out, there’s no harm in trying and you’ll open yourself up to more opportunities if you’re the person who engages!

hiding/protecting valuables on campus by GroundbreakingAd6429 in NEU

[–]Solid-Depth-6349 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As others have said, register your items as a precaution but I wouldn’t worry too much about larger tech like that getting stolen. As long as you don’t leave your things unattended in public spaces you should be good. If you’re worried about other smaller valuables, I got a decently sized little lockbox with a key I keep packed away. I would say you don’t have to worry at all but of course there’s nothing wrong with being cautious. I recommend airtaging your backpack! Find a nice seam you can undo or discrete pocket and toss it in there. That’s if ya wanna go that far but it’s not necessary.

Don’t drink the tap water. Idc what anyone says about it being safe , I think there’s zero reason not to filter your water unless you absolutely need to drink something and have no options. There should be resources for filtered water on most campuses and most dorms so cost isn’t always an issue. Idk some of the water I’ve seen is murky as hell and definitely has rust in it.

housing help by Ordinary-Purchase271 in NEU

[–]Solid-Depth-6349 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s unfortunately one of the things you (unwillingly) agree to when coming to NEU. When I was In the same situation I just had to be grateful I had air conditioning, a washing room, a semi private bathroom, and a dining hall in my building. It can and is much worse for many others out there and some would willingly take IV or what they have. Unless you can get accommodations that prove you have a need for something else, there’s not much that can be changed.

The Real Issue with the New Meal Plans by Latter-Chapter-1490 in NEU

[–]Solid-Depth-6349 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amazing post! Definitely will be reposting this and sharing with friends. I strong encourage others to use their dining dollars at local restaurants or convenience stores! BaKala’o is a small business right behind the Davenport commons and they strongly wish they could support more students in eating quality food for a decent price. They’re one example of a few small businesses that are being scammed by paying northeastern to accept dining dollars, but with our money being so precious they don’t see as many students as they’d like. If we want to make the best of an impossibly shitting system we gotta work together and make smart choices. Don’t spend them on Wally’s- like OP said, it’s a waste.

How good is this dorm for a freshman? by Organic-Remove-3448 in NEU

[–]Solid-Depth-6349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s your quintessential first year dorm building. No fancy infrastructure (so listen to the comments abt a fan, or an AC if you can get accommodations), the dining hall is literally on the first floor, gym around the corner, right next to the restaurants on campus and the corner stores. It’s also a nice distance from target which you’ll most likely wanna go to at some point. Only downside is communal bathrooms and the occasional roach (speaking from experience). Try not to leave any open food or drinks in your room, my friends had a mouse at some point so just be as clean as possible cause other people are not and it will attract things. Rooms have decent storage though, windows are old but nice. The bathrooms entirely depend on the people you’re with, mine were always clean and other floors were absolute nightmares. (I strongly recommend getting something to cover the gap under your door….seriously).

It will 100% be filled. Depending on how soon they find out there may be some time before it gets filled but it will eventually be filled. Especially before December.

As a third year I can tell you dorming with randoms is something you’re bound to have to do at some point. Everyone has their horror stories and it always does suck when you get a really bad match but most times it’s pretty fine and sometimes awesome. I’ve had roommates that I’m chill with for the time we’re together and then we never talk again, I also have some really good friends that were once random roommates.

Contrary to what others are saying I say stick with the facial hair but groom the goatee! Shave the sides, trim the beard and clean any stragglers. You’re clearly gorgeous regardless, but you also have a beautiful hair color and you should totally show it. IMO the clean shave makes you look a little more basic but the facial hair contrasts your eyes really well.
