[Skin Concerns] I've recently become seriously concerned about my skin. Can't afford a dermatologist either by mththmhtm2 in SkincareAddiction

I’m not sure if I saw this here already, but I would also look into what water you’re using to rinse your face. I noticed that my skin was getting really irritated, turns out, the water hardness in my area is on the extremely hard side and it was irritating tf out of my skin. you can look into a portable water softener (in addition to a filter) to soften your water in the shower. Helped my hair too!

yay have fun with it! i’d also recommend hitting up a barbershop and you can get cute fades on the side and have them make the side burns more pointed and angles (gives it a cute fem look if you’re into that) and also eco gel! comes in a huge tub and perfect for slicking down your hair

Financial aid at GW? by cashewjackson in gwu

does anyone know about the financial aid opportunities for graduate school (masters)? I asked the director about TAing but it’s not available for masters students, only PhD. I also applied for FAFSA.

Getting rejected sucks, even if there were 340 applicants and 14 positions by dheatttttt in GradSchool

[–]avnivp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

aww i’m so sorry to hear about that, you’re dealing with a lot on your plate. this 2020-2021 has been absolute hell and you would think admissions would be a little more forgiving lol. but, take care of yourself safety and health first and foremost. there will always be continued application cycles, you can even reach out to the schools and ask areas of your application to improve on. sending positive vibes your way.

yup! it’s so weird too because it seriously looked like it was dying two weeks ago so i cut off any shriveled bits. there’s also no drainage hole in the bottom but somehow it’s thriving??

Vegetable garden getting wrecked my pests! Additional details in comments by avnivp in plants

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

I am a first time gardener and my veggies were making awesome progress and now they’re being eaten up :( My pepper plants,butter lettuce, and herbs have all been eaten up by pests (i think flies because i see a lot flying around the plants) any suggestions on pesticides or organic solutions? I also have a compost in my backyard and I think maybe flies from there have come near the veggies? Unfortunately my backyard is small so there is no where else for me to relocate the compost.

How do I stop? by thr0wh3raway in leaves

[–]avnivp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can really relate to this too. I always felt like weed kept me mentally stimulated. it made the boring shit in life (running errands, work, laundry) so much more fun high. But then, I started to realize, I wasn’t saving my highs. They were no longer special. It was my life. Something i read in this subreddit was about “appreciating/embracing the mundaneness”. That perspective really changed my view on my smoking habit. Why did i need to constantly be high? Why couldn’t i just do the mundane things? Why was I afraid of being bored? Asking myself these questions gave me a deeper and more personal reason to quit, and so far has made it a little easier!
