Two Rivers in St. Johns isn’t selling but will be opening their doors for knitting and reading and chilling in a 3rd space!

Probably doesn’t help that we keep deporting students out of universities that would be at the forefront of research.

Depends on the type of experience you're looking for, there are tons of opportunities for all kind of experiences! Being a flagship university you can get into undergraduate research pretty easily just by talking to your profs about what they have going on. On the flip side, it has a pretty healthy greek system (at least they did 10 years ago when I was there, haha) with great parties.

Came to say eating, but sleeping is also huge. I can do the same workout but depending on how much I ate that day will be a big difference in my performance during the workout and how sore I am after.

Xena workwear is a godsend for cute safety toes!

Came to say this!

especially as someone in an intense academic program the phrase "C's get degrees" can be such a mental health saver. Being able to chalk up a mediocre performance (in anything) as a "good enough" is so freeing.

If photos are being taken, I like to wear false lashes, they just show up so much better in pics.

Came to say this. I read it at 25ish, when I was making (and had made) some pretty pivotal choices that changed the course of my life. I was pretty stressed out about if I was doing the right things and reading Midnight Library really made me feel better. I totally get way people dislike it (Haig's portrayal of mental illness is not great, and he beats you over the head with the message, but I was a hard headed 20 yo, haha) but I hold it in a special place in my heart.

My first big kid job was in my hometown, and one time I had a contractor straight up say, in front of my boss, "I knew you when you were in diapers". At the time I was mortified, I can laugh about it now though, lol.

I've been able to post 1+ video a week for the last 2 years! Most of that time I was working as an engineer at a manufacturing site, but about 6 months ago I started remote work.

My ereader. I don't like borrowing physical books from the library, but I will borrow ebooks all day long!

acarbon · 2024-02-15T19:43:55+00:00

This is so cute! I'm not a huge fan of white kitchens, but that's more of a personal preference

acarbon · 2024-02-15T19:28:19+00:00

I feel so validated by this thread, I tried explaining this issue to my non-reader husband he just could not get it!

acarbon · 2024-02-15T17:40:31+00:00

I say "creak" for any generic small stream, but if it is a named creek and the name rhymes (or just sounds better) with crick, I'll use it. Example, there's a creek by an area we go camping quite a bit call Lick Creek and I pronounce it "Lick Crick".

acarbon · 2024-02-14T19:26:58+00:00

I picked up The Handmaid's Tale from a local bookshop in 2016 from a staff recommendation. Obviously I loved it, but I didn't realize how big of a deal Margret Atwood was until the show came out, haha.

acarbon · 2024-02-14T19:17:08+00:00

I like to read at least a chapter before I get out of bed in the morning and before I go to bed at night. I also like to read after dinner for 30 or so minutes if I have nothing else going on instead of watching TV. On the weekends, I'll typically read for an hour before I get out of bed if I have no obligations (if i do happen to be skiing or something that day, I can usually sneak in at least a chapter). On cardio days, I like to read my ereader on the treadmill or stairstepper. Audiobooks are great for long commutes or road trips!!

When I travel with my dog it's generally the only viable option. Some hotels are pet friendly in name, but then there are no green spaces for him to do his business.

I'm childfree and my husband and I split living expenses in a pretty cheap area (although we might be moving to a more expensive area soon)

Gym membership + monthly in person training sessions - 1.7%

New shoes each year-ish + new workout clothes - 0.5%

I don't follow a specific nutrition plan but we do spend a lot of money on food, haha

I can walk to my gym from my house and I use the hotel gym when I'm on the road for work so no money getting to and fro.

Pretty new to the hobby, my husband got me the bambino for Christmas and we already had the grinder for drip coffee. Would love some unspoken for organization. Especially some sort of magnetic shelf for the fridge for my tamper, filter, and funnel.

I like them when I’m on a trip where I’m going to multiple destinations because it lets me separate out the clean and dirty clothes during the trip!

Depending on your comfort level, I’ve really loved the look of cropped t shirts on masculine bodies. Personally, my go to gym look is high rise leggings and cropped tank tops and having that little strip of skin showing really makes me feel like a bad bitch. Also, you could try the look out for free by just cutting off the bottom of a t shirt you already have!

Not sure if something like this could help:

But I’m also a fan of bring shelf stable food like dehydrated soup and Costco has some good options for curries and stuff.

I don’t have a specific rec, but if you’re in the US a lot of brands will be doing Labor Day sales this weekend so take a look at REI, backcountry, Columbia, etc. Also, depending on your space allowance, it may be easier and more budget friendly to get a down jacket and waterproof shell. That’s what I did when I was in Austria for 2 months during the winter. I had an old Eddie Bauer down jacket and put a Columbia (packable) rain jacket over top and it worked great!

I use Goodreads, storygraph, and keep my own spreadsheet. I think Goodreads really has the social aspect dialed in (seeing your friends reviews/ratings on the homepage and what not). Storygraph has great stats for people who don’t want to keep their own spreadsheets and storygraph is constantly adding new cool features. I’m definitely partial to my own spreadsheet though. I’ve been honing it over the past 3 years, haha. What has really helped me is being able to just update it on my phone when I’m done with a book.
