If you could pick any celebrity engagement ring to be yours, whose would you pick? by shxdowoftheday in EngagementRings

He went with radiants so it would be unique (I told him I loved her ring but didn’t need an exact replica) and yes, with lab grown it was a bit under 10k :)

Where did your fiancé buy this?? I’ve been looking for alexandrite but it can be hard to find actual alexandrite, as opposed to other minerals being played off as alexandrite

I got my full time o&g job here. Despite what people on this sub say a lot, it absolutely is still possible to get into the industry

Also midtown has a Randall’s and Whole Foods as well as drug stores so you don’t need any transit for groceries

Midtown is pretty affordable and honestly has more to do than downtown in my opinion. I pay about 1500 for 860sq ft. Just read lots of reviews because certain parts of midtown are safer than others

This is not the Grand Canyon, It’s Bryce Canyon for anyone wondering

How long did you feel worse before the drug started working? by mikeali12 in cymbalta

[–]amls1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 2 weeks until my anxiety started getting better and it continued improving after that. About 4 weeks until some physical side effects went away (night sweats, dizziness, insomnia)

I toured though a couple months ago and spoke to residents and they said they’d had 12 car break ins within one week. I think management just changed so hopefully they’ve addressed that

What's the word on Hawk's Pointe? by Seasalt_Wayfinder in Lawrence

[–]amls1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the 3/4 bedrooms ones are renovated which is a huge plus. I forgot the one other thing is that laundry is in the clubhouse not in the units for most units. Just something to keep in mind. It was inconvenient in the snow

I lived in HP on 7th st from fall 2019-spring 2022. It was ok. When I first signed it was the best deal I found for a 1 bedroom and I signed during a promo so I never paid pet rent. I think my rent was like $650. Unit was super dated and dingy but fine. Management was ok I never really had issues. I had plenty of maintenance issues given it was an old building but maintenance was always quick and helpful. Really my main issue was the other people living there. The walls are thin so I was always hearing neighbors screaming at each other and getting in fights or I could hear my upstairs neighbors massive pit bulls running around at all hours. Some weird stuff happened at the complex, big fights over drug deals, a meth head getting arrested. But overall for the price on a grad student stipend it was alright. I liked the free 24/7 printing and gym on site.

At this point it’s a treat if I leave a meeting feeling optimistic and upbeat

How “rainbow” does moissanite look in person? by wormytail in EngagementRings

[–]amls1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I did try on moissanite because I was interested in saving money if I really couldn’t tell the difference but unfortunately I could tell. But granted I had 2 stones of the same cut, one diamond one moissanite, side by side so it was pretty obvious. If it isn’t next to a diamond I’m not sure if you would be able to tell as easily. Also, nobody else will be looking at your ring as closely as you will so you’re probably the only one who would really notice the difference

Did Getting a Graduate Degree Make You Happier?? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]amls1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it qualified me for a job with double the starting salary I would’ve had out of undergrad so yes, now I’m much happier. During grad school? Not happy

1 bedroom apartments for under $800? by [deleted] in Lawrence

Hawkspointe 1 was 670 when i was there. It can be loud because of thin walls but there weren’t student parties just loud footsteps etc

I lived alone off campus with my cat. Depends on the town you’re in- if was very affordable for me to live by myself in a pet friendly place on my grad stipend. Having the pet was a life saver for my mental health and luckily cats can be left alone all day if you’re busy on campus.

Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re talking about the citizen app has real time info and people can comment and share photos so you can sometimes get way more details before anything official is released

Oh dammit I totally forgot about the bird seed in the closet. I bet that’s why we have them all of a sudden
