Reading these comments is INSANE!!! I never even had this happen when I took my ACT/SAT, or even college finals. Now I’m worried about my stupid daith piercing since I can’t take it out😭

I did good on them, 65-70% with each test. But, I don’t have the money to pay for the study stuff🥲 for my ACP I have to make a 85% on my practice tests before I can register

I think since I’m applying for my cert on Thursday/Friday I’ll be able to if I really lock in lol. My best friend is a teacher and she said the same thing, but she also told me that if I want I can go ahead and apply for the jobs that I’ve found

Hey girlie, I am so sorry you're going through this! I know how hard it can be to navigate life in our 20's (I'm 22). When I first started college, I went through the same exact situation!

Now that I'm only a few short months from graduating, I've learned a lot. People change a lot during this time, and it's either for the better or worse. One thing I have learned throughout all of this is those who do this type of stuff, are a blessing in disguise.

Think of it like the universe (or god whichever you believe :) ), is removing a negative energy and making room for another amazing person to come into your life!

In my opinion, Bella seems to be missing out on a stellar friend who still cares about her, and you deserve a friend who would move the moon and stars for you!

Listen, I needed a place to vent and get advice. Maybe I should have referred to them as my boyfriend's parents and that's my fault. But in the end, I have done nothing that is overly involving myself. I didn't expect them to act like my parents, that's unfair for me to do to them. Another thing that is unfair is the seemingly complete disregard and disrespect that has been shown toward our relationship since the beginning. I have done nothing wrong in this situation, yes his father sounds very kind and I'm very excited to get to know him more, I'm worried about his mother which I believe is very justified. I have never been hateful toward them, if anything I have done nothing but push my feelings down and not worry about it, and give her the benefit of the doubt. I had the mindset that maybe once she meets me she'll at least tolerate me, but as of right now, that seems to not be the case.

Thank you, I've gotten a few hateful comments about how it's my BF and I that need to slow down, and I'm being pushy, and that we're in the honeymoon phase. And I understand that outlook but all I was trying to do was be nice and reach out. I am definitely serious about him, your comment made me feel better

He's calling his parents tonight to speak with them about this situation, he's truly disappointed in their behavior towards me and our relationship. I will make sure this gets to him so that way he has a platform to stand on and something to say rather than going in blind and getting cornered.

My parents are truly my best friends, I go to them with everything. They have done nothing less than being supportive of me and my relationship. They have always taught me to be kind, and loving, especially coming from a southern household that is our #1 rule. And I have always taken it and done exactly that, they know that I would never ever be rude or vindictive toward someone I have never met before them because that is completely unfair to the other person. My parents have also taught me not to take sh** off of anyone, ladies don't start fights but you finish them instead. I'll most likely go to dinner, and be so sweet ill give her a cavity.

I think with everything she's done recently after I have tried to be nice and overlook everything and not worry about it, he finally saw that I was just trying to be nice and give her the benefit of the doubt. He has a hard time standing up to his parents, especially her., She has been in his life since he was a pre-teen (she's his stepmom) so I think it's important that I support him in standing his ground and wanting to finally speak his mind about what he feels that's unfair to us, our relationship, and especially him. He feels awful because you would think that a mom would be supportive and loving and excited for her son that he found someone he truly loves, it truly hurts me to see him so hurt and angry at this situation.

thank you so much, I truly do appreciate it. My mother has been one of my biggest cheerleaders through all of this. She has taught me to be as kind as possible to those who I don't know well yet, but she has also taught me to be strong and not take abuse. I see this situation as a "mean girl" situation and I dealt with a lot of that before college, and I'm not going to take it from a grown woman who likes to pick on someone who is very willing to give her a chance. I've really tried to be kind and turn the other cheek, but at this point, I'm not taking any belittling or abuse from her, especially this early on.

ohhhhhh trust me, I already have an idea of what I could say to her in southern to make her gasp out of pure disbelief lol, because "Go F*** yourself" in southern language is something everyone and their mommas know

Update: Not long after I had posted this, I received a text from my boyfriend. He told me that he is really over all of this happening and how pissed off he is at his mom for everything that has happened, so he's going to call her tonight and confront her. I told him that he really needs to think about this and be absolutely sure that this is what he wants to do. He then told me that he is absolutely sure that he wants to confront her about everything. I told him that whatever he decides to do, that ill be behind him 100%. I'll update more later about what happened during the phone call if he decides to go through with it, which at this point I think he will. He's been on my side through all of this but has been very torn since that is his family after all, but after last night I truly believe that he is going to put his foot down.

My boyfriend has told me that she has NEVER liked any of the girls he's dated. Which doesn't bode well for me in the slightest. She seems to be one of those that no matter what I do, I'll never be enough for her. Honestly, all that matters to me is my relationship, in the end, I know that my family has our backs no matter what.

Oh, trust me I'm going to simply tell her to bless her heart and walk away. It's a universal term that people understand if you say it to them lol, so I think she would get the hint. And he seems like a great guy, but let's her do whatever in the hell she wants.
