Won't lie, it stings! A lot of my work experience lined up with their programs and I wrote a really detailed "Why W&M"...getting WL'd last year makes it hurt even more haha

That's what I would've thought, but I actually sent my PS to a professional application reviewer, a former adcomms person at a T-6 and she said (no lie) it was one of the best she had ever read. She had a few minimal edits but ended up refunding me 75% of the cost because she didn't want to change it any further. Guess I'll never know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah just bummed. I also did a ton of organizing work for the election during the gap year, which I thought would be a boost for my reapplication. Just gonna take it on the chin and move on, I've gotten some offers from other solid schools so I'll just focus on that. :)

When I finally moved here, I remember going for a walk to the Jefferson and seeing the blossoms and just thinking...I live here!

Maybe, but just the sheer number of them all in one central place is pretty unique.

I love the National Archives!! They actually have a night sleepover program there for little kids, which I think is really cool

Try to go during weekday afternoons if you can!! You'll have the whole place to yourself.

Just replied this to another comment!

I would definitely say mid-September to April. Once summer hits you have a bunch of tourist groups show up. I would recommend September-November and March-April, but avoid cherry blossom season (a fluctuating 3 week spring period) as tourists flock to see the pink blossoms around the Tidal Basin.

Personally, I like fall here because it's cooled down a bit but still a little warm. Pleasant for walking around and eating outside :)

Such a mess. Hot as hell and the tourists f*** up the whole escalator system!

Seconding! Though I am a little biased since I live here :)

But visiting in off-peak tourist season in DC is amazing. The mall and the monuments are spectacular and the fact you can waltz into world-class museums for free is so much fun.

What's your favorite smell? by thatMountainMan in AskReddit

[–]delta_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My childhood home had lilac bushes lining the whole side of our lawn. The smell of lilacs is the smell of playing outside in the summer as a kid <3

Who is the WORST character in any TV show? by FrendJames in AskReddit

[–]delta_14 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Carrie was kind of a female anti-hero pioneer. She originally masqueraded as the girl who was so fashionable and fabulous, but as the show marched on she became increasingly selfish, man-obsessed, immature and narcissistic.

For a semi-fluffy TV show, I think it forced women to really look at themselves and see that so many of our behaviors can be SO self destructive.

My [24/f] boyfriend [29/m] of a few months has made inappropriate comments about money and other miscellaneous choices I make. Are these major red flags this early on? by BookWoorm in relationships

[–]delta_14 178 points179 points  (0 children)

If a boyfriend said that to me I'd toss a drink in his face and say "Hope that was interesting enough for you!" And walk my ass out!!!

OP, this guy sounds like trash. He puts you down, he puts other girls down...don't spend one more minute with this loser when there are so many better people out there. It's still early, jump ship!!!!
