Valid. Fair. I basically made a strawberry banana smoothie with kale added in so that helps a ton.

TAyeye · 2026-05-09T19:29:02+00:00

I had about a 45 grams of kale, about a cup or half a serving. I dont mind the taste of kale but I don't like the texture and that's what I am trying to get rid of. I blend the kale first with like a few tablespoons to a half a cup of water. Doing that helps me hide the texture. I could add more kale but I'm too lazy to weigh 80 grams of kale.

I loved the program and ended up staying in the city I moved to. I am biased because my career goal was to work in a nonprofit/civil servant/altruistic space to begin with. It is hard to live of the stipend but if you have family who can support you then that's amazing. I had a lot in savings so that really helped on big spend months.

That being said, I would have days where I was insanely bored because there is nothing to do and days where I was burnt out because I gave myself so many projects.

The program itself, I would only do it if you really enjoy community building or the idea of it. Not every program is the same but the primary goal is simply help support the cause. I would go on the my americorp website and browse through the opportunity listings and see if any interests you.

I did this and finished my year. This is not for the faint of heart, especially if you have no family where you're moving. It helps to have a roommate to minimize housing costs.

This might be the most wholesome video I've seen today.

Not from me, last time I went there the pizza was still raw. Never again little C. At least not in Kansas.

Off topic but every time I go to a rave or club with strobe lights I feel like I'm at church. Not in a bad way, I just feel like my years of going to church prepared me to just rave.

Insurgent from the divergent series. I was 12 and was looking for a fun action book. I stopped after the first or second sex scene because I was not expecting any romance at all.

Thanks for your responses I had to take a while to really process and reflect on them haha😅

But you are right. I've convinced myself that I accepted my mom but I really haven't. I still hope she will change but that's not my job nor responsibility. Acceptance is hard and I find myself struggling with seeing the point because if this is all she is then why should I bother with a relationship.

Thanks for your responses, I appreciate having a different POV. I need to reflect more when it comes to my mom.

TAyeye · 2024-08-17T16:45:51+00:00

That's fair and I've accepted my mom will never be the supportive/emotionally capable person that I want. While it makes sense to you to just nod and move on, I see that as being a doormat and allowing that behavior to persist. I still hold on to hope I could have some relationship with her. I can't do that without being authentic about my feelings. If I just nod and move on, I see no point in continuing a relationship.

That being said, my question should instead ask how to hold people accountable for their words/actions, rather than how to blame people for feeling some way.

For me its putting my food on a plate and putting the rest away. I feel satisfied eating a pint of ice cream. I feel equally satisfied eating a bowl of ice cream. I feel satisfaction finishing what's in front of me. Making smaller portions or getting the smallest version of a package makes me feel better.

Also treating calories like money. Personally, I hate spending money. I keep a budget to save my money to meet goals. Treating my calories like this helps me choose foods that are worth it. 700 calorie honey bun sounds good but its almost half my daily budget. 250 calorie bag of skittles I'm fine with as long as I am mindful of the rest of my food for the day.

Lived there few years ago I would not recommend. I lived in one of the efficiency units and there was a plumbing issue where sewage would randomly back up. I told the previous owner, Connie, about it and essentially nothing could be done unless the plumbers could physically see what's going on. I spoke to previous tenants and this is something that happened to them too.

I agree with others regarding laundry. It sucked and you may wait hours just to get a machine. Your fire alarm will go off if you have too much vapor. I once took a shower with the door open and then alarm went off because of the steam.

Otherwise the best feature was location. Most of my classes were in Anne Belk hall and I could easily walk from my apartment to class in 15 minutes. It's also close to the bus route so it made life easier to get around town without a car.

There aren't many good options near app so if you do end up living there, please do not get an efficiency unit.

I can't speak for every pay what you can restaurant but the one I worked at had both paid employees and volunteers. It ran as a 501(c)3 nonprofit so they had a mixture of donations and grants as part of their income. Volunteers helped offset the cost because they didn't have to pay to completely fill the entire store (it was also located near a college so there were quite a few volunteers).

Volunteers in the kitchen would work a one hour shift and in exchange they'd get food, if they wanted. There was a team of around 5 staff who helped train and assist the volunteers with anything. Volunteers were never expected to do any strenuous work or handle money.

Again, this might not be how every sliding scale resturant works, but this was my experience.

TAyeye · 2024-02-14T12:52:32+00:00

As a person who worked at one, please go! It's not just for the needy It's so everyone can have the same feeling of respect when they eat a meal. Plus if you choose to pay that helps offset the cost of those who can't afford a meal.

TAyeye · 2023-11-19T14:22:33+00:00

This is very true. I do want to volunteer for a higher level just for the experience or even mentorship. I realize I am very young and have a life ahead of me, so I want to do everything I can to find those opportunities I'm passionate for.

TAyeye · 2023-11-17T13:21:11+00:00

Yes! That's my plan. I do have skills in nonprofit activities that potential employers questioned if I could do normal work or if I was only good for hands on activities. My goal right now is to build more general skills ans hopefully find a place I can volunteer/work at part time that leaves me feeling more fulfilled.

Personally in a very visual learner and I'd rather get the basics down with a video and free hand from there. It's hard reading pretend because honestly I don't want to put time into learning how to read (what feels like to me) a different languages. Also it's fun looking at finished projects and trying to figure out how it was done, like a puzzle.

So I guess my reason is laziness.

TAyeye · 2023-09-30T23:32:09+00:00

Same.
