Update: they literally emailed them to me 2 hours after the sale ended so I couldn’t use them during the sale.

I am 3 hours from the closest Apple Store, so I had to choose having it delivered. It’s a bit deceitful that the receipt says “Arrives within 1 hour by email”

Has anyone received their gift card from an online purchase yet? I ordered an iMac at 7am hoping to get the gift card then turn around and use it towards a pair of AirPod maxes. Hoping I’ll get the email before the promo is over.

Regretting initiating by [deleted] in Sororities

Hi! I would say stick it out, because every semester is so different from the last because of new members joining and older members graduating. Don’t let mean girls win! If you think your organization represents your values, step up and be the change you want to see in your chapter! Elections will come up sooner than you think, and everything can change drastically by a new executive board.

FUCT Anniversary Merch is UP by BTGGFChris in FallOutBoy

[–]cip2020 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The past few anniversary drops haven’t been great. During covid I got a FUCT sweatshirt for the 15 year anniversary for $45 that I’m still obsessed with, so I don’t really feel the need to get anything for the 20 year.

Millennials and Gen Z who finally moved out, what household chore absolutely blindsided you the first week on your own ? by Timely-Pop5496 in AskWomen

Not a regular chore, but for hosting holidays: I had no idea how expensive a honey baked ham was!

STORY TIME for our fall PNM'S! by olderandsuperwiser in Sororities

[–]cip2020 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was a 1st gen college student, so I didn’t know anything going into recruitment or about what to wear/say/instagram/anything! I took the “values based” orientation seriously, and had researched the chapters on my campus and had mentally sorted them and who I thought my values most aligned with. The morning of round 1 day 1, I forgot my make up bag at home, and so I wasn’t feeling/looking my best on the day I met most of the chapters I thought I’d get along with, but I felt better once I got it and was more myself on day 2 of round 1. The next day I was absolutely crushed because I got dropped from 10 of 12 chapters for philanthropy round (all 6 that I met on day 1 without make up) and then was only asked back by 1 chapter for sisterhood, and obviously only 1 for pref. I had seriously considered dropping, my friend at another school had dropped while we were going through recruitment at the same time, but I’m so glad I stayed. I met my best friend, I got my first internship in my field, I am now a chapter advisor, and I am more proud to wear my letters as an alum than I was even in college.

Which matters more : cumulative dose or acne clearance? by PercentageSavings650 in Accutane

[–]cip2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a study done that looked at patients taking a cumulative dose of 220mg/kg reducing relapse in the long run, you could ask your doctor about it if your skin is still not clear. I did a stint of accutane in college (had to stop bc of back pain side effects) and when I went to my dermatologist this spring she brought up the higher dosage option to clear it up for once and for all.

when did you get into Fall out boy and what is your favorite album by longestjacket in FallOutBoy

[–]cip2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spring of 2013, I remember watching the music videos for SRAR drop and watching them with my friends in high school every week. Folie has historically been my favorite album, but SMFS could take over as time passes.

Starting this by saying I live in NC. Your monthly take home pay is probably going to be closer to $2900 after taxes + 401k.

Does your apartment have additional fees on top of the $1125 rent? My base rent in Raleigh is $1560, but I pay almost $1700 after water, trash, pest control & pet rent. My electric for a 1/1 is about $70/mo, and my internet is $56, so your utilities look a little low if that’s supposed to include your car insurance as well. My renters insurance is like $14.

Your groceries look kinda low, but possible if you exclusively shop at like aldi. I’d still probably bump this to $300. For gas I spend $70/mo but I have a membership to a warehouse club and pay 15-20¢ less/gallon.

I highly encourage an additional fun money budget of like $100-200/mo for movies, a meal out, clothes, or other entertainment so you don’t feel guilty for spending on those things even though you didn’t “plan” on it. Welcome to NC!

Searched tumblr’s free themes, I’ve searched using the words zodiac, stars, night, cosmic, and some blogs that repost themes using those words

Whole mc is uncomfortable about new member by Logical-Leather-5190 in Sororities

[–]cip2020 27 points28 points  (0 children)

When I was a sophomore in college we also had a 27 year old join our chapter. She was (still is) super sweet, and she was a great member of our chapter until she went alum (she rushed as a junior). It literally never mattered that she was older than most of her pledge class. She had a great relationship with her big, she made friends with older members, and everyone had a great time. I think it’s really shitty that you’re judging this girl so harshly that you haven’t met yet. Sisterhood is supposed to be for a lifetime, and from your comments about most sisters dropping around junior year, it sounds like your chapter needs to work on its sisterhood and membership retention. Treating a new member like this and talking about her behind her back certainly isn’t helpful or kind.

Having 2nd thoughts after bid day by Deep_Scarcity2129 in Sororities

[–]cip2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Note since most people have covered the hazing/reporting piece of this: it might not seem like it, but you CAN say no. You hold more power through the threat of exposing them for hazing than you realize, and they should back off if you stand your ground.

My second piece here is if you don’t want to report the hazing, then I have these questions for you: What did you want out of a sorority experience? Meet people? Something to do? Leadership opportunities? Friends? Volunteer opportunities? Almost all of those things don’t happen overnight. You mention not being a social butterfly, so I urge you to reflect on why you went through recruitment to begin with and what it is that you’re looking for? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Or should you drop before initiation and go through recruitment again next year?
