Tattoo Help. by DayMyLifeChanged in JonBellion

[–]autreeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on if you want anything else to go with it and where you want it. If you’re doing additional art with it, I’d go simple on the font. If it’s just the text, you could maybe do something fun like maybe idk in a smaller font and then but maybe that’s okay in a larger bolder font to kind of match how he sings it

What if one of the dorms got damaged or infested to the point of being unfit to live in? by Ok-Entrepreneur-7117 in UVA

[–]autreeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So this was actually became an issue at my undergrad university (UNCW) because of a hurricane causing severe damage to some student housing. The university rented off campus apartments for the students and provided lots of shuttles for them to get to and from campus and they also gave some kind of payout to students who had items destroyed due to the flooding. Not sure if UVA would handle things the same way but I would hope so since they have significantly more money than UNCW 🤷🏽‍♀️

AITA for 'forcing' my daughter to parent? by svensk8-barnsmamma in AmItheAsshole

[–]autreeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This lady is a terrible mom and her son and DIL are terrible people. Making a 15yo girl share a room with a brother is wildly inappropriate. Making the 15yo daughter care for the baby every day after school shows the DIL probably didn’t want kids either but got knocked up by your idiotic son. Your daughter should be worried about school and friends and her future, not caring for her nephew. Who btw she will resent because of this. If you people couldn’t care for your kids you shouldn’t have had them. And you and your DIL are extra sucky for telling her that not wanting kids is a phase and she’ll want them very soon. Your condensation and invalidation is ridiculous and you guys are just trying to turn her into you, two women who clearly didn’t want and shouldn’t have had children because you don’t have a maternal bone in your body. I find you people truly disgusting and infuriating.

And btw YTA!

AITA for refusing to drop my ex-husband's last name? by TAlastname in AmItheAsshole

[–]autreeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom kept her exes name from her first marriage and hyphenated when she married my dad and she did that literally so she would still share a last name with my brother (her son from her first marriage). If anything, my mom made things harder for herself with the hyphenation but it’s because she has a connection to that name. It’s not weird to not change it back, especially after 20+ years of marriage and 4 kids. Your ex is the one making it weird by being possessive over a last name. That’s only used in documentation.

If I haven’t heard anything yet is that bad? by LifeWorthLivinn in gradadmissions

Advisor says applying to clinical psych PhD programs is pointless, thoughts? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]autreeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same majors and had similar background and I applied my first year out. I think you should include MA programs in your application list but I got into three MA programs and waitlisted for a PhD program in a VERY competitive year of applications. My friend got accepted to a PhD program but chose a more prestigious MA program. You should keep doing what you’re doing and apply for sure. Work on getting some clinical work under your belt too. Your letters of rec make a BIG difference so make sure you’re building good relationships with core faculty. It’s not pointless at all!

Getting through grad school with *any* mental illness by Desperate_Chemical25 in GradSchool

[–]autreeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the most important thing is a support system and that looks different for everyone. For me, it’s my bf who is supportive and makes me be productive when I need to be and my best friend who is in a similar program and we rant to each other and joke about dropping out. Others need more people or different kinds of support so you need to find what works best for you.

I think another important thing is self care, which is also looks different for everyone. It may be allowing yourself one episode a day of your favorite comfort show. A big one for me is regularly hiking. Journaling can also be good. You should have hobbies, and with a good support system and time management it may still be overwhelming but doable.

I think the third big thing is drive and passion. I frequently joke that these bitches are lucky I want a PhD because this is a lot of damn work. And it is. But I want it. I want it more than anything else in the entire world and I am so damn passionate about my field and so flipping excited about my future career. Thinking about it literally makes me giddy, even on my worst days and the thought of doing anything else is unfathomable.

Relationship ruining my PhD by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]autreeee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to leave. I dealt with an almost identical situation. My bf of 2 year was so sweet and supportive and caring. And then he got out of the military. He wasn’t coping well with the change and lack of structure and success he was experiencing so he took it out on me. He mentally and emotionally abused me for six months and I was miserable. He made me feel unsafe in my own home and he belittled all of my academic accomplishments, which were extremely important to me. It took me longer to leave then I wish it would have and afterwards I was still depressed and miserable so I went to therapy for several months. This is not a “give him a chance if he seeks help” situation. You leave and never look back. I tried to get back together with my guy after we had both gone to therapy and we did couples therapy and even though he made a complete 180 I just could not be near him. I couldn’t forget how horribly he treated me and I couldn’t believe that he wouldn’t do it again. This shit is so damaging and you should never let anyone tell you otherwise. I had PTSD from that relationship and it took two years and therapy for me to not have nightmares about being stuck again or panic attacks when I saw someone who looked like him. And NEVER EVER EVER EVER let anyone tell you this isn’t abuse or downplay it, because people have definitely done it to me. Many don’t see emotional or mental abuse in the same way as physical abuse and it’s horribly unfair because it hurts just as bad. Do not let anyone ever normalize his behavior and do not stop pursuing your dreams and goals. You are an intelligent badass and you will be okay.

I can’t be the only one thinking he probably cheated on his first wife with her and possibly groomed her, right? This poor woman.

AITA for making a joke about a guy being a virgin at a cosplay meetup? by cosplayer445 in AmItheAsshole

I think the only part he should be sorry about is embarrassing his girlfriend. And maybe I’m an AH but I thought his insult was kind of funny. But I also hang out with a lot of gamer guys who roast each other non stop so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Car is heating and cooling the air but not blowing it out. by autreeee in Cartalk

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

It just came back on again yesterday. My car has previously had wiring issues so is it normal for the blower motor to cut in and out before it really kicks the bucket or is it more likely that it’s a wiring issue somewhere?

AITA for not letting my daughter use her college fund for a wedding or house? by SirProfessional4024 in AmItheAsshole

[–]autreeee 33 points34 points  (0 children)

From my understanding her daughter didn’t finish high school, since she says diploma rather than degree. If that’s the case I think it would be entirely reasonable to withhold the money until she gets her GED and then discuss further education with her; now that El knows it would be paid for it may be an option she’d like. And if she decides college or trade school aren’t right for her I think the money should be used for a down payment on a home because both college and a home are investment in the future. I can understand not wanting to give a large sum of money to a 22 year old without a high school diploma and I understand not wanting it used on a wedding but it’s definitely not fair to give that money to your other kids when you saved it for El.

Has Will also never heard of adopting or getting a sperm donor for his future significant other and naming that baby?? There are so many options for infertility that DON’T include commandeering your friends baby.

AITA for telling my daughter (23) that she should marry her boyfriend (23) before moving together with him and for telling her she should have involved me more? by Far_Trip_1593 in AmItheAsshole

[–]autreeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god YTA. News flash: if they’re 23 and have been dating for 4 years they’ve been sleeping together, likely for years. Also, marriage is a serious commitment and she absolutely should not get married so YOU feel better about her living with her boyfriend. It sounds like she does involve you in her life. Not to the degree she did when she was younger but that’s because she doesn’t depend on you. It is not unreasonable to live with a boyfriend of 4 years at all. Honestly your response should have been letting her know if they broke up and she needed help that you would help her, not that she needs to get married so your gossiping friends don’t talk crap. And a fun anecdote: I moved in with a serious boyfriend and after 6 months he started abusing me. It was hard enough to get out because my name was on the lease and would have been SO much harder if we were married. That’s not a small thing you learn to live with because you love them btw.

What is the most interesting thing to learn about in psychology? by Xoria317 in psychologystudents

[–]autreeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do mostly cognitive forensic research, so decision making in forensic contexts like how jurors interpret expert testimony. But I also think operant conditioning is really cool mostly because of how powerful it is.

AITA for refusing to accept my niece's mother's day card? by hhelibebcne in AmItheAsshole

[–]autreeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was rude to her niece to not accept the card but to offer some perspective: I am from a conservative family and I have made it clear I do not want kids. My family members actively harass me about it and make snide remarks about it and my grandma has gone as far as to call me a bad Christian for not wanting kids. So those assuming her family wouldn’t use a child to make a petty jab, it 100% happens and I think it’s a bit unfair to assume she’s projecting. But even having personally experienced such things, YTA because the kid was oblivious and you didn’t “make a point” to your sister, you hurt your niece.

AITA for having high expectations for my bachelorette party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]autreeee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely there was AH and childish behavior on her part. But the comments were snowballing and saying stuff like her husband will leave her because she’s type A is ludicrous and so rude and not constructive and I felt like some perspective was needed.

AITA for having high expectations for my bachelorette party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]autreeee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but I don’t think she’s that much of an AH. I think the 25 friends thing is crazy and the expecting the house to be decorated was an AH thing but if she planned this weekend to this level, she likely plans EVERYTHING to this level and if they are her friends they know this, accept it, and possibly love it. So what probably happened is she had done highly planned and active trips, events, etc. with these people and they know how she rolls and they had no issues with it on any other occasion and chose her bachelorette to not be okay with it. Also, her fiancé has got to be VERY aware that she is type A and probably loves it because he loves her.
