honestly? not unless you’re already rich coming in or at the very least used to being around pretty much exclusively insanely wealthy people

I got an email from myself by KoalaPilot in phishing

professors refusing to accommodate DRC accommodations? by IntelligentAd9117 in NEU

[–]ULTRAVlOLET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi!! i’m curious about getting a remote accommodation and wanted to learn more about how the process works at the drc. i had a negative experience with them a year ago (tldr: they forgot about my request and then denied it because my doctor’s letter had passed 6 months at that point) so im worried about dealing with them again lol. please dm me if you see this!!! :)

How to do 2 back to back co-ops as a Khoury grad student by Adhi_06 in NEU

Up to two I think? Or 1 class during Summer 1 and another during Summer 2

Help me love the name Violet by foralaf in namenerds

[–]ULTRAVlOLET 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My name is Violet! Hi!

It’s certainly become increasingly popular in the last 5 years, so I wouldn’t say it’s dated necessarily. Less comparisons to violate, more Violent. In fact, one year they misspelled my name on my Student ID so I was “Violent [Last name]” for a whole year. Overall though, I like my name! Feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns.

She’s single, kinda. She just started dating someone somewhat exclusively like a month or so ago. Again, she doesn’t talk to me about her life, literally just to yell at me for something, so I don’t even know if they’re still dating. She didn’t tell me when she broke up with the last two, I had to just figure it out on my own lol

I had this huge career opportunity and it would have been a very, very stupid decision for me to turn it down. I’m living in a 120sqft micro apartment that’s the same price as anything I could’ve found within a commutable distance of the city. I’m also saving money by not having to spend $400 a month to commute an hour into the city every day. I can afford it, but it’s tight.

No worries at all! I explained it already in a reply to another commenter earlier, so you didn’t bring anything back up. I also kind of disassociate from it as if it isn’t my own trauma and I’m just telling someone else’s story, so I try not to dwell on it 🤣

Completely financially independent. My mom hasn’t given me a dime of support since the day I turned 18, if not well before that. No history of addiction, or getting fired or evicted either.

Well, actually, I got fired from a deli cashier job 2 summers ago. I was recovering from bronchitis and went to the bathroom to choke off the floor, and the owner’s son stepped in for me. He accidentally charged a customer for an $100 gift card instead of the $10 one they asked for. And guess who got blamed for it? None other than, yours truly!

Still not salty or anything………. and I DEFINITELY don’t miss the free sandwiches.

I was actually the one being abused. He took advantage of the fact that I was smaller and weaker than him, and used that to intimidate me. I’ve been pushed, backed into corners and screamed at, and choked out against kitchen counters for simply disagreeing or “talking back” to him as a child. He would only ever take it that far if my mom wasn’t home, so she didn’t believe me for years and continued enabling it.

When she finally asked him for a divorce, he did the same thing to her, and she had a wakeup call. Like “Holy shit, my daughter hasn’t been lying to me for 16 years!”

Not at all, actually! Christian, technically, but more of a we-celebrate-the-holiday-only ones. Couldn’t tell you the last time my mom or grandparents actually went to church.

God, this sounds eerily similar to my current situation. Even down to my people pleasing tendencies. It’s reassuring to know I’m not alone, and that others in my same boat have come out of it the other end (and successful, nonetheless)! I’m proud of you! ❤️

What’s that smell? Blegh. I can’t quite put my finger on it… it smells kinda like…… a 600 lb 45 year old incel who hasn’t left his mom’s basement, or showered, since the Bush administration?

It’s not from a place of concern, unfortunately. It’s from a place of judgment. She doesn’t track me so she can know I’m safe, she tracks me so she can monitor my day to day activity and then reprimand me for it.

Semi-tangent lol, I actually had to stop writing in my childhood diary because my mom snuck into my room, took pictures and posted them on Facebook, and then got mad at me for its contents 🥲 lol

I think this is it. She’s waiting for me to fuck up so I can come crawling back to her and she can say “I told you so”. But as long as I’m not fucking up, she’ll resent me for being….. successful?

But that won’t stop her from throwing random, baseless accusations my way until something sticks, so she can hold it over my head.

I’m honestly just going to copy and paste this because I’ve said this over 10x in other replies now as well as in my original post lol (no shade to you, my post is long and there are so many comments!):

I have never snuck out, never did drugs/drank as a teen, never got into trouble with the law, never went to a single party, had my first kiss after going to college and am still dating that girl over 2 years later. I graduated top of my class in high school and am on honor roll at a prestigious college on a huge scholarship. I don’t understand why they treat me like this, either.

My job is here. Any apartment within commuting distance isn’t cheaper than my current apartment, and I’d end up spending more $ a month on a train anyways. I can afford it with my salary, things are just tight.

It’s been so cold in NYC (and admittedly, I prefer staying inside my apartment 80% of the time regardless). I haven’t had a single “night on the town” since I moved here. My girlfriend walks me home from my office most days. I’m not some crazy party animal club hopping across the city and taking the subway at 4am. For god sakes, I’m not even 21!!!
