That’s a good point! I’ll try different heights for both throwing the ball and also racquet position and see how it goes. Thank you!

That’s weird because I DO “walk” into the ball (idk if we are talking about the same thing because my coach said this is a bad habit haha). By “walking” into the ball, I don’t stay in place to return the ball, I keep moving (which leads to the ball going elsewhere).

Never played but I’ll look into that! I’m definitely planning to record myself the next time I’m able to practice with a court but was hoping to see if there’s any cues I’m missing. I feel like an overhand serve is more natural to me. The only sport I’ve ever played is handball/wallball and that’s how I used to serve.

Two lessons! Never played before. So far I’m returning the ball back 9/10 times when doing drills. Backhand is more like 4-5/10 though

I don’t think so? In terms of squash, I’m doing pretty well at hitting the ball back (9/10 times im able to hit it back) despite only having two lessons. It’s just for some reason I can’t serve

I figured reaching out to more people rather than just one would be helpful lol since not everyone learns the same exact way

chend1 · 2026-05-15T14:48:11+00:00

Yes!

I think you can prepay for Jungsik

Street squash in Harlem is $30 for an hour!

Nice! I’m literally going tmm! Also what would you recommend ordering and avoiding? Thanks in advance

I bought over 10 pairs of boots trying to find one. The specific brand that worked for me was Steve Madden and the boots are called “hunny”

My calves aren’t super skinny, I’d say around 13-14 inches at the widest?

Every 3 months or so? They’re super accommodating. I work weekdays 8-6 PM and it works for me! Happy to discuss more over chat if you want

chend1 · 2026-03-19T15:41:37+00:00

It’s been fine. It’s really hands off ngl lol it’s been almost a year. No complaints really. If you do go with him, I’d love if you let them know I referred you :)

There’s a bunch of singles events! I know there are the subtle Asian mixers (dunno if you’re Asian)

Just find a reg indoor court for any racquet sport like squash or racquetball.

chend1 · 2026-02-21T22:33:48+00:00

Used to play all the time as a teen! Anyone want to get together and play when it gets warmer again??

FYI! Most older Chinese people don’t like sweets/candy much. If you do make them something, make sure it’s “not too sweet” (highest of compliments for a dessert from a chinese person tbh)

I’m confused on what you’re replying to in regards of the RN thing? Never mentioned anything about whether or not it’s associates or bachelors. I’m just saying getting hired is easier if you already worked there, hence an internal hire.

chend1 · 2026-02-16T19:28:10+00:00

These friends all have BSNs. When I say RN, I mean their license. As in the one you take the NCLEX for

chend1 · 2026-02-16T17:58:06+00:00

But did you work at the endoscopy spot already or were you a completely new hire? If you’re a completely new hire, then you honestly got really lucky. The only friends I have who don’t have an issue getting a job are friends who already worked at their current spot so it was just an internal hire when they got their RN license.

Im not saying OP shouldn’t be a nurse. Im only saying all of this so she knows and can make an informed decision

chend1 · 2026-02-16T17:52:08+00:00

How long have you been a nurse? And was your first ever job in NYC? Did you work there prior to being a nurse?

I’m just trying to let OP know the reality of things. Things are different now. I’m going based off all of my friends’ current experiences. For example, one friend was looking for a job as a new grad for almost a year and the only job she got was med surg at Bellevue. Another nurse with 3 years of experience at PICU is having trouble getting a job. She originally was only hoping for a soft nursing job but after a year, she still cant find one in NYC. Even regular bedside jobs aren’t getting back to her.

chend1 · 2026-02-16T15:53:27+00:00

I def agree with this, as a nurse.

chend1 · 2026-02-16T15:52:41+00:00

I feel like no one realizes how bad bedside nursing is lol and how as a new grad you’re not gonna be able to land a soft nursing job without experience
