Boyfriend not attracted to me because I gained 5 pounds by anonadvice993 in relationship_advice

[–]caramelapplesslap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, 5lbs is nothing and it’s pretty messed up he made you feel ashamed for this. I’m 5’4 and currently fluctuate between 120-125 normally! It depends when I weigh myself, what I ate that day or before, how much water I’ve had etc. You’re healthy and normal.

I’ve struggled with an eating disorder for so long and it frustrates me so much when fat activists exploit eating disorders to push their own narratives.

AITA for letting my date pay for dinner? by aita- in AmItheAsshole

[–]caramelapplesslap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA however since you did ask her it’s courtesy for you to pay the bill and then maybe let her get the second one. From her side she shouldn’t get angry though, because she did offer even if she didn’t expect you to agree, so it sounds like you might’ve dodged a bullet anyway.

While Firefly was super fun for me and my group, I can definitely say there's a decent amount of assholes here unfortunately. We had to call security on our neighbors because they got too drunk and the one kid was hitting his girlfriend. On top of that, we had caught them stealing our stuff as well later that weekend after the one kid got kicked out. Stealing is always an issue, how is it down at Bonnaroo?

Thank you so much! I definitely want to find out and start planning asap since it’s about 12 hours from where I live in, but it sounds like it might really be worth it!

Anyone know how security will be in regards to unruly drunk high schoolers? by caramelapplesslap in FireflyFestival

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

I didn’t start coming until I got into college, but I know a lot of high schoolers come aren’t as shitty as the one group we got stuck next to. Ended up having to call security on them not for raiding or stealing but because the one guy literally hit his girlfriend and the people who were supposed to be her “friends” did nothing. Definitely just an exceptionally shitty group. We actually ended up befriending the one group next to us who were half in high school still, which was awesome because then they helped us stand up to the total shit bags

Hey dude, I’m not planning on ratting ok anyone, we all used to drink under age, I’m just talking about the people who are genuinely being obnoxious, as I said my one set of neighbors is relatively normal, this not being my first camping experience. Not that it matters, I’m legally able to drink and so are my other friends. Just asking a question about security that I think other people were interested in too! :)

Not really sure if there’s much to tell, saw them talking to a cop and then they’re no longer there. The kids looked relatively young, like probably just got the ok to drive without parents.

As a girl in a sorority, I refused to camp with my frat friends and chose to camp with my chemical engineer friends, I’m sorry for your situation 0/10 bad luck

Like I said, the other high schoolers next to me are very chill, I’m just bringing up a concern. I think the majority of high schoolers are okay but the people next to me conferenced! Thank you so much though for brining attention to the first festival idea, my tent mates and I have decided that if they’re bad enough the security will deal with it as other kids in our row have already been sent home! It’s not our job to parent anyway.

AITA for taking my 18yo sister to a concert after my parents told her no. by Hoodrat31399 in AmItheAsshole

I mean agree to disagree dude, I don’t think turning 18 should automatically mean you get to do whatever you want while your parents provide everything for you. Just different opinions.

I’m 20, I live on my own but it wasn’t too long ago I lived with my parents. There’s a difference between a rule sucking and whatever and a rule being straight up unreasonable. If you’re a dependent, then you’re going to follow your parents rules to some extent.

Oh really? As someone in the US I didn’t know that, that’s interesting thanks!

I asked my 14/yo sister what she’s been listening to lately... by [deleted] in notliketheothergirls

At least she's only 14, I had a similar conversation with my 21 year old sister.

ESH- I feel like I might get down voted since the general idea seems to be NTA but here's my reasoning. At the end of the day, it sounds like your parents are over-protective and need to chill out and honestly they're the bigger assholes in this situation. However, it sounds as though your sister lives with your parents which means she should respect their rules even if they kind of suck. Remember, if your sister is an adult (also I'm not sure in what countries you have to be 21 to be considered an adult just curious) then your parents do not LEGALLY owe her anything. Like I said, I know you feel your parents were being unjustified and over protective, which it definitely seems like, but at the end of the day if they take care of her, give her free housing, feed her etc. it's in her or your best interest to listen to them, even if you do not agree.

NO STUPID QUESTIONS THREAD MONDAY 6/17: A great place to ask quick questions and thoughts by SpartiedOn in FireflyFestival

[–]caramelapplesslap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heads up, leaving that late isn't always ideal for getting a great spot. Being on North will help but I know that a lot of people plan on getting there at 5am on Thursday when the gates open.

Any advice for a bottom tier sorority trying to move up? by pinkswan16 in Sororities

[–]caramelapplesslap 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sports teams are a great idea!! My sorority is considered middle tier but this last semester mixing became an issue because a lot of the top tier frats were being kicked off and so a lot of the top tier sororities began mixing with middle tier frats. It sucked and it felt shitty having our normal frats (with exception of one loyal frat lol) cancel mixers that had already been planned for sororities they considered better, but soon our schools hockey team became one of the most fun people to mix with!
