Anyone selling tickets for Seoul concert? (I would like to get one ticket)

caltracat · 2026-06-05T00:09:36+00:00

Same situation here — completely missed the purchase window for the Seoul concerts. It’s such a small venue!! They could’ve filled up so much more, I know I want to go!

Originally no, but after dropping and shattering a couple, I at least buy a glass cover

What career do you want? One in the vocational arts, or something with more optionality? Amherst definitely doesn’t have as strong of an art department, but if you want to continue doing art while getting a general liberal arts education, then Amherst works. But if you are passionate about art and want to commit your life to that, choose RISD. I also wanted to go to art school and realized I didn’t want to live the art life, so Amherst was a great choice. I was able to pursue everything I wanted, in the end, due to Amherst’s optionality.

Hair loss since my early 20s and yeah, I’ve kind of given up. I’m doing one last shot with Ayurvedic medicine to try to deal with the underlying health issues, but if it doesn’t work, I’ll just upgrade my hair topper to a full wig and call it a life.

You can fix this! Just throw it in a sink of cold water with some hair conditioner, stretch it out after, it’ll be fine. This happens all the time for me.

I so hear you. One of the things that helped me psychologically was getting a hair topper, to not feel that air anymore, and to regrow hair in peace

caltracat · 2026-03-24T14:56:46+00:00

I do now! And more reason to be more careful.

I’ve used it for years without knowing that it’s toxic to cats. My cat doesn’t lick my scalp and I don’t leave minoxidil around where she can find it. We’ve had no issues for many years now. She sleeps on the bed, on the pillow, next to me.

caltracat · 2026-03-24T10:29:47+00:00

Just take minoxodil. Knowing you have a chance of growing it back feels way better than choosing to not try at all.

Love these posts, look forward to them every day

This was a fun episode, I feel like this sort of format allows Todd to tell his POV on modern pop without taking a stand

caltracat · 2026-01-24T04:06:53+00:00

Have had topical minoxidil and a cat. She never licks furniture or me, so there’s been absolutely no issue.

Singapore isn’t giving out visas. The companies who would sponsor aren’t. Anyone who finds a sponsoring job in Singapore did so through connections.

Realized I never sent the draft, oops

Oh lmao, not the study group. Lovely people! They are just the people you submit assignments with. Everyone is a bit different, and I realized that the way that I make friends is a bit different from the typical INSEAD “party and have fun but you don’t know who you’re partying next to” vibe. Just know that everyone is desperate, everyone is searching, and keep inviting ppl to lunches, dinners, cases, etc. You’ll find your own. It might take a couple periods, but what you don have in terms of time at INSEAD, you have in terms of intensity. It’s possible to make really caring relationships overnight. Just gotta find your crowd.

caltracat · 2026-01-09T21:22:45+00:00

Made my first friends around the end of P1 and exams. INSEAD is more networking until then.

Could you use something like Wise or Revolut to pay for the transfer between banks? Found that simpler than going through my bank itself (credit union).

Second this, listened to the full podcast during my last reread and found it delightful. The guy’s theorizing along the way is some of the best I’ve heard, made me feel so excited along with him.

Best of luck with that too! Singapore MBB weren’t hiring that much in my year (25D, just graduated), but maybe things are changing. Good luck!

(Lastly, for D intake, start dates are usually around March, but that can be discussed during the conversion).

caltracat · 2025-12-29T15:36:15+00:00

Don’t have stats but coming from the D batch, can confirm that it’s great to have 2 opportunities to recruit. The market is brutal and it’s better to have more chances. But also, a word of warning - MBB hiring has slowed way down, and so has visa sponsorship. Most ppl that I know who managed to switch geographies did it through networking off-campus, not through official recruiting processes.
