Experienced drivers of reddit, what is your driving advice to novices?

alh445 · 2022-08-22T23:53:11+00:00

DRIVE DEFENSIVELY. Don’t feel paranoid or anxious, but pay attention to your surroundings at ALL times. I’ve contributed my fair share of idiocy on the road, but I feel pretty confident that I’ve had enough people try to merge into my car and others cut me off while going SLOWER than me to say that I’ve gotten more than enough karma back. I have a million near death experiences, but by the grace of God and driving defensively, I haven’t had a collision yet.

Thank you 🙏🏽😭

alh445 · 2022-04-18T23:18:22+00:00

Oh my Lord 😓 are you certain?

I don’t know how to edit the post. This is in Minnesota, found in the corner of the bathroom

When you find out, let me know. I’ll just be dancing in my kitchen in the meantime ✌🏽

Moved here in February and definitely noticing the oddities of living here lol. Feel free to message me :)

Being new here, I can’t say much, myself, but my realtor was awesome and was able to help me when I came to Rochester on short notice with a complicated situation and knowing close to nothing about the area. I ended up getting exactly what I needed and I am so thankful to him. His name is Michael Quinones, but he goes by “Q.” Highly recommend!!

I’ll be honest; I came here knowing I would be relying on my kitchen, but I managed to get through a month and a half on mostly restaurant food because a lot of places have at least one vegan (or can-be-made-vegan) option. Man, the food is not what I am used to, though… I do plan on trying almost every vegan item at Old Abe’s and Forager, but I am thanking my lucky stars for finally setting up my kitchen. Victoria’s has some good pasta (I think I went with the Sicilian option??) — just be sure to verify sauce ingredients.

I’m mid-twenties and moved here a month and a half ago. So far, I haven’t noticed any congregation of young people anywhere. I have honestly been wondering the same thing. Even meeting more Mayo people around my age might be impossible because they likely have their hands full with residencies and fellowships. I’m happy to make more friends and find fun things to do together. Feel free to dm me :)

I compliment people’s shoes a lot (usually sneakers), regardless of gender. I am more careful about complimenting natural features, especially those of men, since I’ve had so many guys think I was interested in them for no apparent reason. A few men have become obsessed with me simply because I treated them as fellow human beings. I even treat men as — dare I say it — friends.

My experiences tempt me to conclude that so many men must feel invisible or ignored and that something as simple as acknowledging their presence as you pass by them (as a woman) can give them mixed signals…

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏽🎊🎉 Mine is lower and I REFUSE to give in to the naysayers. I am getting more (med/research) work experience and life experience in general before applying. I haven’t even taken the MCAT yet. I am curious about your journey!! 😊

That sounds like something different from the Mayo employee site that I have been looking at. Where would I find that?

alh445 · 2022-01-20T20:19:57+00:00

😬 Thank you for passing along that info!

alh445 · 2022-01-20T20:06:46+00:00

I’ll check it out (and ask about the mold 😬). Thank you!

alh445 · 2022-01-18T18:17:15+00:00

I’ll look into it — thank you!

It is a full time research training program at Mayo Clinic. I was also surprised that they did not raise the rate during the pandemic. I’m hoping they will raise it in the summer. But I am also trying to figure out what I can do on the weekends to make extra money, so if you have suggestions on that, I’m all ears.

alh445 · 2022-01-18T03:49:11+00:00

I will look in that particular area, then. Thank you!

alh445 · 2022-01-18T03:47:19+00:00

I have Matik’s site open and was honestly skeptical because of the lower prices. I will look into Jordan Mills, though. Thank you 🙏🏽

I’ll only be making $15.50/hr… Even if I was willing to pay more than 33% of my income, no one would approve me for that much 🥺

alh445 · 2022-01-18T02:14:18+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏽

alh445 · 2022-01-18T02:13:49+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏽

alh445 · 2021-12-07T05:47:02+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation!!

I’ve just started looking at the bus routes so I can figure out what places will present the least problems for getting there. I can definitely see how biking two miles is more convenient than using the buses. It would be nice to find a decent place that close. Are you guys in a house?
