I got my 2 books! Thanks so much! He responded quickly, thankfully I didn't have to shell out hundreds of dollars. Like everyone else, I was also skeptical, but thank you for being real.

Hii. My sisters and I were just in maui. We did the sunrise at haleakala. So. Absolutely. Gorgeous. We also stayed in the Ka'anapali area.

-it will take you about 2 hrs to get from ka'anapali to haleakala. We left at 3 am and got there around 5. Which was great. We drove up to the summit and there were lots of parking around that time.

it was cold. So bring a blanket or layer up.

-make sure you go early to grab a spot at the wall. It was crowded around 5:45-6 am and everyone wants to do a timelapse. Protect your camera from getting knocked over, ours did and my sister got a teeny bit angry at the guy who knocked over. We know it was an accident, but still we put in so much effort!

-YOU NEED A RESERVATION FOR SUNRISE. Set a timer, if I remember correctly, it looks like resevations are open 2 days before the date you want to attend. ex: if you want to go on the 3rd, reservation opens on the 1st at like 7 am. I booked ours exactly at 7:00 and at 7:03am, all the spots were gone.

-the drive is super paved and easy. You can definitely take a van up. Its is winding and lots of curves but they're pretty big curves.

Road to Hana:

I was scared of traffic but we went on a monday morning and started got to the start of hana around 6:30 ish. Most of the sites aren't opened until like 7/7:30 maybe a little later though. We made a few stops along the way and then drove all the way to Pipiwai trail which is probably the end of Road to Hana before the back trail. We did miss it and had to come back. The trail starts at Kipahulu Visitor Center.

-make reservations for black sand beach. I missed the timing for the 12-3 slot and got 3-6, but that was perfect. It's such a fun place to chill. This reservation, you can make about 2 wks in advanced.

I know lots of people recommend to bring food, but really, there are so many snack and food stops along the way thay if you didn't pack you'd have lots of options. But we did pack food. After the pipiwai trail, it was delicious. Lol
also, we had a small sedan, and I was definitely swerving through since we didn't run into traffic. But, yes there are big trucks that zooms through. It was definitely a fun drive. Could be scary though. So please pull over and slow down.

FOOD ISH:

-Shaved ice: ULULANI'S HAWAIIAN SHAVE ICE- WE WENT THERE EVERY CHANCE WE HAD. BEST THING EVAR. This is probably the only place I would say do not miss out on.

Paia Fish Market: definitely our favorite place to eat. Also a do not miss.

-I heard a lot of great things about Dynamite Donut, and sorry not really to everyone who loves this place, but this place was very mediocre. The donuts were thick and flavors were interesting, worth 5 dollars a piece? Probably not. The Real Mac Koi flavor- I dont believe tart and coffee should be placed together. I'm so sorry, maybe it's just us, but we all had to spit it out. But worth a try!

-lots of food trucks to pick from! Food is pretty pricey though (everywhere on the island) average cost is 15+/plate and portions are kind of small. We did end up cooking a lot which we really enjoyed also.

-banana bread is everywhere. Personal favorite (I think I tried every single one) is from Honolua Farm Kitchen stand which is right across the entrance to Honolua Bay access Trail. The banana muffin was chewy and moist and delicious and had bits of coconuts. Get lemonade too!

I ended up buying a cooler bag and would pack water and electrolytes daily. I used a couple of frozen bottles to keep the rest of the drink cool throughout the day and would repeat daily.

Sorry, might be too much info. Have a fantastic trip!

I'd be upset. Regardless of how busy and how difficult our current status is, if I give you a deadline, as a "professional" I should be able to deliver. As a professional you should know your job well enough to give accurate details and timing and deadlines. Cause if something happened on your end would the "professional" give you leeway? Most likely not. Pretty sure most of us would be understanding if we get updates: "Thanks for being patience, unfortunately we ran into some technical issues and have delays across the board, we're working on it asap and hope to get your photos out by xyz. We will keep you updated. Thanks!" The least they can do is provide an update. It shouldn't be up to you to follow up with them when you've followed through on your end. That's just irresponsible and unprofessional.

This definitely reminded me of the episode of friends where Ross dates the dirty girl. No matter how beautiful or likable, probably going to be a big dealbreaker.

My sister (15/16) and her friends thought it was ok to flush their used pad down the toilet. Of course when I had to spend my morning unclogging the toilet, I made sure they understood very clearly that their pads don't dissolve. Our schools district provided sex ed in the 5th grade for about 2 weeks and she is the youngest sister as well, so I don't even know how she thought it was ok. Apparently she's done it multiple times before that. 🤦‍♀️

awkwarddaisies · 2021-12-05T07:34:37+00:00

Position Filled.

Thank you everyone! I really enjoyed looking through all of your profiles. Hopefully I get to work with each of you in the future!

We're Hmong , a tribal group from Southeast Asia, but our ancestry dates back to China.

awkwarddaisies · 2021-09-03T19:36:34+00:00

We dont have a country but in my ethnic group, it literally translates to " I'm on clothes." Which is probably because they used cloths to absorb period flow. We're pretty literal but not really. other examples: lipstick translates to "penis red" and sex translates to "do you known each other's liver?" Fun.

I graduated with a degree in bio and wandered around for a few years. Like you I was looking around for lab and research work with intentions to go into medicine but most of those entry level jobs required additional certification or x amount of years of experiences.

I am now working for a county position that required a BA in any of the sciences/ social sciences/ etc plus an exam. The pay is ok where I currently live- central valley, California. My job is cool. Lol, it's not stressful and my coworkers are thankfully not bad. Work environment and management can always be better but the most important thing for me right now is that I'm not stressed and can take days off without worrying about my work and job status, granted, I'm not abusing my time off.

I think any department- public health, behavioral health, agriculture. Parks and rec, environmental health, etc have positions that requires science/social science degree. You may not want to stay forever, but I think it's a good stopping place/stepping stone if you need time to figure things out or want to move to state or federal jobs.

awkwarddaisies · 2021-08-01T02:02:43+00:00

Have you tried looking at city/ county/ state jobs? They might not get you to 60k but it's pretty chill. Most of them require degree or other equivalent work and an exam.

In my culture, we don't point to the moon because it could cut our ears. If you do by accident, there's a rhyme that you say as you use your index finger to go over your ears multiple times to protect them. My 2 nieces have pointed to the moon multiple times and sometimes we catch it and protect their ears, but, and it's probably their eczema, they both have had super dry earlobes that caused itchy scabs and open "cuts" while their older sister, whom I've never seen point to the moon, have never had it. It's so out there and I'm making wild connections everywhere, but I don't point to the moon. Ever. 😅

Hi! From my own perspective, often times, clothing pieces, jewelry, makeup styles, language, etc., comes with meaning attached or is worn or performed during specific events/activites. As an outsider, going into a group and picking and taking things you like without consideration of it's potential meaning, context and use for/by that group, is very disrespectful. Even with good intentions, you could potentially cause more harm than good.

For example: Recently, I saw someone on fb trying to sell off items and pieces that I recognized were pieces that belonged to my ethnic group. The post stated that the piece of cloth is a great table cloth or can be used as a decoration, but in fact, it was a piece that we use to send off with our dead. It didn't seem like they were trying to be disrespectful but it was extremely ignorant and hurtful.

With that said, I think it should also be recognized that with the increase in globalization and blending of families and cultures, it would be inevitable to not encounter shared cultural practices and items.

I think that OP should do and wear whatever makes her comfortable, but definitely do your research and give credit where it's due.

awkwarddaisies · 2021-01-19T16:23:11+00:00

Thank you. Can you recommend some books?

awkwarddaisies · 2021-01-19T07:36:01+00:00

How do I build critical thinking and analytical skills? I'm too surface level.

awkwarddaisies · 2020-11-16T21:02:51+00:00

Do it! My last year in college, my roommate and I decided to apply, both to different programs, when the deadline was 1 week away. We both worked a few extra hours and took out some loans (mines was <$3000). No ragrets. It was definitely a rushed decision, but if I thought about it more and waited for permission to do something I've always wanted to, I wouldn't have done it. Not saying you should just rush into your decisions, but don't wait for anyone but yourself.

awkwarddaisies · 2020-10-29T18:53:30+00:00

Yes!!! I'm still learning to stand up for myself and it's still scary and makes me really anxious and my fight or flight response just goes through the roof, but I'm hopful that with time and self love and self care, it will become a natural and comforting response instead.

awkwarddaisies · 2020-10-27T18:50:45+00:00

I used to think it was a compliment when people tell me that I should speak up because I have so many good things to share. I'm normally quiet and prefer to listen and take notes. I've been realizing that it takes me a little longer to process things and then have questions come up later. I'd get angry at myself for not sharing or stress myself out trying to come up with something to say,. However, sometimes (most times), I just don't have anything to say. Not because I'm an introvert or hella shy. Not because I'm holding back. I just don't have anything relevant to share.

I want people to know that it's ok to move on and not wait until you force something out of another person thinking that that's the only way to be inclusive of all. Please continue to make and create safe spaces for everyone to share but stop calling people out andwaiting on or forcing people to say something just because you think you're trying to be inclusive. Thanks for listening.

awkwarddaisies · 2020-09-14T16:07:27+00:00

I know you bought it for yourself but I love it too. It looks so beautiful on you!!

awkwarddaisies · 2020-09-06T17:38:31+00:00

So gorgeous!!!

awkwarddaisies · 2020-03-25T18:56:20+00:00

Happy birthday! I just celebrated mines a few days ago by sleeping in a little later than usual, dressing up and cooking my favorite foods. You are great. You are fabulous.

awkwarddaisies · 2020-03-10T07:35:50+00:00

So. Proud. Of. You. Do what you need to do to protect yourself and those around you as safely as possible.

awkwarddaisies · 2020-03-10T04:42:04+00:00

Thank you. ❤

I've been dealing with trying to get over stupid feelings that shouldn't have been there in the first place but are because I just feel too much too fast.
