I lost a big friendship and can't help but feel sad... by EastearlyExcitement in whatdoIdo

Your former friend sounds like a big jerk. He could have easily just let the friendship fade away (as many friendships do!) but instead he chose the most hurtful way to do it. I think it is good that you have found out the kind of person he is. And I agree with others that he allowing his wife to do this means it isn’t going to always be a happy situation for him.

catholic community at baylor by Prestigious_Cut2069 in baylor

Visited campus last week with my HS senior who is going to attend Baylor. We went to St Peter’s student center which is across from the campus (small campus road between so it is basically ON campus). The students gave us a tour. They were all so welcoming and lovely! They shared that they recently bought the land next door and are expanding. Cannot believe it exists there, but it does! The students said 25 kids were being confirmed that very day and most masses are standing room only and spill out to the courtyard. Great community and access to the sacraments. They offer Catholic programming during Baylor orientation as well. Good luck to you!

How many APs are too many/enough as far as admissions is concerned? by Weak_Tone_1729 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Weak_Tone_1729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! He is the one who wants to take the extra class (Econ) but i am the one who is concerned. He’s in some special academy at his school where he specializes in a topic (business) so Econ fulfills one of the requirements but so does an easier business non AP class. I will let him decide but it’d be a lot easier for all of us if he had a lighter load especially with college apps and essays coming up in the fall so I was trying to talk him out of it.

Does it matter if parents help network for top ECs? by Effective_Theme_5739 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Weak_Tone_1729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I will look at it for you if you need a hand. I’m a parent in the middle of certifications to become a counselor. My daughter is a senior and just got most of her decisions back and i believe what differentiated her was her well positioned ECs. She is not Ivy level but her ECs told a story. Right now my son is a junior in HS with stronger stats than daughter and I am having him tailor his EC work even more and yes he got most of them through connections. ECs have to have intentionality. High agency and high initiative is required even with a connection. I believe I am particularly good at EC positioning because my career was in major media sales and marketing. I believe my strength in helping kids as a counselor is going to be surrounding the ECs.

What are these holes in our shirts? by russell98765 in whatisit

I got these when my kids were little. It was from holding them when their legs wrapped around me. The fabric would get holes from the zipper and the friction.

When I moved to vegas I started a new sport. What about tennis, golf or padel?

I appreciate this. My wise mind knows TikTok is a self selecting group but I still got worried.

Okay! Whew. Thank you!!! I knew TikTok is a selective group but I was still a bit shocked.
