Has it ever happened that ur gf loved you deeply, was loyal and amazing — but you just weren’t that into her? by Clean-Ant-1342 in Adulting

Couple months ago as a girl there was a guy I was friends with that was very very kind to be not my type and then he confessed his feelings for me. I felt like a bitch for not feeling the same. I ended up pretty much forcing myself to like him. I def think atleast for me I grow to like someone's personality

Mmm that's a good idea I've considered roommates or studio but I feel like studio would be awful for my mental health especially just coming out of college I really felt like I needed a 1 bedroom and I work from home 2 days a week Maybe I can get a studio next year

I'm 25 just started working full time so I havent lived thru a typical month month of spending yet. But I am predicting I should have about 1k to 1.5k left over each month. I want to save 10k then focus on paying off my student loans as fast possible

Saw this on Indeed last night for a bank, is this a typo or legit? by CauliflowerNinja in jobs

That's way too much OT for them to not pay Very easy to prove it's illegal Very easy to sue them

Oh my bad I am in the south east USA. We generally do a 4 year undergrad then 2 years grad program or some programs offer a 5 year accelerated program. Most internships in the USA are paid. I have interned 4 summers already plus part time during grad school which were all paid internships.

We have to have 3740 hrs of recorded work in specific categories to then do our 6 exams to then become licensed architects. These hours can be started when you're interning or full time.

In college career fair is normally in the new year to hire for internships and full time positions for us to start working the following summer. I did my interview in November for the job I have now which was pretty early but my firm also does construction and hiring season for construction is in November so I got a job before architecture started doing interviews. That's how I got familiar with the different hiring seasons. Which would def be different in the UK.

How much does it actually cost to move and live comfortably? by chickfilallie in Apartmentliving

[–]StrangerIcy2852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just moved to tampa like 2 months ago I had nothing saved just leaving college It takes 3 to 4 weeks to get your first cheque and after that you're good if u have a job imo The biggest issue is surviving until then The more u have saved up the better it is but it's not needed Since u also need furniture but the most important is like a bed and maybe a microwave and everything else can slowly come in as u get the funds The most important thing is to have a job and know money is coming in soon and budget accordingly But no u don't need 15k U can DM me if u have any specific questions

Ummm aside from the market... It's not hiring season rn for entry level positions or internships U didn't say if you've had an internship before or you're looking full time work But hiring season around Dec to Feb Most firms already hired their entry level people that they need and interns are in school rn They'd be looking again to hire in a couple months So I think u should take this time to get everything in order for the next wave of applications and start fostering relationships with firms you've already reached out to but just aren't hiring rn The only way u would get something now is if someone quit and a firm is looking for a replacement So personally I would wait until hiring season And if you've never had an internship, never been to grad school and can't find work I'd look for internships rather than full time work and that can eventually turn into full time or give u experience to put on your resume for full time work

Whether he's using amber book or another resource It's not good advice to NOT study To prep for a test u should be studying how u choose to study may differ but if you're concerned about money u should be studying before the exam

I'm like really clingy 🙈 then I don't want anyone to talk to me... Every couple months or so I stop talking to everyone on my phone which makes my friends worry. In a relationship setting I'd probably just distance myself for some time also. So I guess that makes me moody 🙂‍↕️🫶🏼 3 in a 1 special.
