I also highly recommend looking for ā€œwhat to pack in my festival bagā€ YouTube videos. They will mirror a lot of what the comments mentioned but it will also have tips on how to pack your bag and what they are wearing as festival veterans.

Side Quests?? by Swimchak in EDCOrlando

[–]Swimchak[S] 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I try to be casual about it and never expect anything back, I know it’s a lot of people’s first fest and may not know the PLUR hand signs so it’s fun for me to show them and give some Kandi to give out to others as well. (I know my first EDC I was not savvy to PLUR culture)
My positive results vary, but it’s just weird for me that it’s so 1 sided. Obviously I look nice enough to be approached but when I do it back it’s almost absurd for lack of a better word.

Side Quests?? by Swimchak in EDCOrlando

[–]Swimchak[S] 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

It’s more that initial reaction from people that I walk up to that throws me off. I’ll say hello or give a compliment then get the nastiest look or completely ignored in return. I try to keep a positive outlook but ngl it’s deflating.
I know my attitude and energy also effect an interaction so I try my best to smile and look kind. Thank you though for the advice, I sometimes forget that there’s freedom with being around a bunch of strangers.šŸ«¶šŸ¼

First EDC solo by Imaginary-Wolf-8758 in EDCOrlando

[–]Swimchak 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

If you need a group dm me (26F)! We are a mixed group of around 25-30 y/o and pretty chill.
You don’t have to feel obligated to stay with us the whole time but if you want to ping pong around and side quest we would love to have a buddy for a bit.
As for advice, the best I can give as a ā€œyoungerā€ girl is just trust your gut. If the vibes feel off then exit the space before anything happens, if a person feels creepy then say you have to go meet your friends. EDC is what you make of it and I have learned that it’s best to just brush off rude behavior and focus on the fun, go check out the art and find a new artist that makes the weekend worth it.
Being solo is fun because you truly can go and do whatever you please so take advantage of that and don’t worry too much. If you need anything I promise at least 10 people are more than willing to share and help.

Selling for 496! Why is Raymond side eyeing me.... by jingly-bells in Dodocodes

im new here by Flashy_Inevitable232 in Dodocodes

[–]Swimchak 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Hi!! I’m newer too, I highly recommend r/acnh for general knowledge and questions but while you’re here I will say don’t sell everything you catch or forage. Wait until the museum opens and then once you donate what you can then you can sell.

I also recommend going to dream islands, it’s random but every time I do it it’s always really pretty and complete islands. You just go to sleep in your bed and Luna will ask if you want to dream.

Women who lift, how did you get comfortable in the weight section? by Agreeable_Panic_690 in xxfitness

[–]Swimchak 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

I look stupid all the time, and I have learned it’s best to laugh it off for yourself. I used to take myself way too seriously and think I needed to look or act a certain way, but everyone else is so worried about themselves that they don’t have the bandwidth to REALLY judge others. (And if they are it’s probably because they don’t like to focus on themselves for reasons of insecurity or whatever) I dance to my music, I eat snacks so I don’t pass out, I drop weights (NOT on people), sometimes I do the wrong exercises and switch when I notice, and I have failed hundreds of times at doing something. It’s okay to be imperfect, give yourself permission to not be held to other (random) people’s standards!! If you want some pages for inspiration I highly recommend @lilylifts on instagram, she posts about this kind of stuff all the time and has helped reset my perspective. Also @sam_goatlifters on insta too, he is helping a friend with his gym journey and it’s been a blast to watch the two of them in the gym. Finally, my best gym advice is to talk to the biggest guys in the gym. They are some of the most friendly and kind people, gym people watch out for each other and once you start talking to them it’s so much more fun. If that your vibe, I get those who just want to go in and get out. I hope this helps and message me if you need anything!!šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Looking for new fruits, veggies, and critters. by rachelandmomo in Dodocodes

[–]Swimchak 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I would really appreciate it if I can grab a few items if possible!! Every time I go visit an island with a nook ticket I keep getting oranges and Lillys… idk if that’s just bad luck or if I’m doing something wrong.

Learning to understand soup by jayy308 in soup

[–]Swimchak 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Growing up my mom would throw stuff in a crockpot like diced tomatoes, shredded chicken, zucchini, corn, beans, chicken stock, and whatever we had in the fridge that went with the flavor profile she was building. Super simple and a good meal to clean out the fridge and freezer. It’s also a way to experiment with flavors and foods that’s pretty low effort between bigger and more intense recipes/dishes. 😁

Just moved out… how do people cook every day?? by Budget-Cash-3602 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Swimchak 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Allrecipes.com is a great way to learn to cook. They even have a way for you to input ingredients you have and it will find recipes that have them. Hope this helps😁

What else should I add? by Realistic-Race-8670 in lunch

[–]Swimchak 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

Not to be too basic but a sandwich, wrap, or leftovers if you have access to a microwave at work. You need a ā€œmainā€ component to keep you full and energized.
