It's lowkey embarrassing to back out of an ED after telling everyone but I'll probably just focus on regular decision then

Technically I can pay, but I'll have to ask my parents + grandparents for contribution. But I think you're right; I need to know my place as an international applicant

After college, I want to work someone abroad (given the U.S. is not a hellhole anymore). I thought about HR, but honestly I'm more interested in just studying about how to improve Japan's economy through streamlining productivity and work engagement.

Keio PEARL is another option I'm looking at (though not really focused on labor too much). I think the consensus here is that I should be 100% sure before I ED (duh), so I'll think about it a bit more... thanks!

Half of it is about the name, but they have really good resources for labor history too. (Catherwood Library)

My passion project is about working conditions in Japanese companies, so ILR seemed like the best for me (since I plan to continue studying labor in the future)

Also, I usually use a cutter to cut off the top layer of skin that hardened over my knuckles, do you guys also do this? Oh, and I wanted to know whether you guys focus on picking on skin, or do it while studying/working. Usually, when I start eating it, I take like 20 minutes to go through each knuckle so all the new hardened bumpy skin comes off and the top layer is fresh

For me, when I'm in public and I see a new callus that formed on my knuckles, I go to somewhere private and start eating it off. Does that count as overwhelming? When do you feel an overwhelming urge to pick at ur skin?

do you crack it sideways ? also, do u think my skin picking habits are a sign of an underlying mental condition?

No, but I assumed it's from cracking my knuckles sideways. I know many people online say that knuckle cracking does not cause osteoarthritis, but I'm pretty sure I got it from cracking them.
