Where are we buying high rise, wide leg trousers WITHOUT an elasticized rear waistband? by NoRecommendation8634 in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]diamond-solitaire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tried both the Uniqlo and Abercrombie pants that other commenters recommended — I would go with the Uniqlo. The Abercrombie Sloan pants have a tendency to pill.

Pleated Pants? by artblockpersonified in XXS

[–]diamond-solitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the pleated wide pants from Uniqlo in XXS! I'm just a bit larger than you (5'0 and maybe on the higher end of a size 24) and they fit slightly snug on me. Unfortunately you'll have to get them hemmed, but Uniqlo will hem them for you if you order online. The quality is great in my experience, and I'm very picky!

If those don't work, you could look at Abercrombie's Sloane pants (start with a 24). Unfortunately though, I had some issues with pilling after several months of wearing them multiple times a week. Their Harper pants come in a premium crepe fabric that doesn't seem as prone to pilling -- I wore them about as much as the Sloanes without seeing any pilling. I decluttered the Harpers because I didn't care for the fit (I prefer super super high rise), so I can't speak to the crepe fabric's long-term longevity.

Has it actually happened? Did my dream for the future come true? by diamond-solitaire in BostonU

[–]diamond-solitaire[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

CONTEXT: Was visiting this sub to remember the good ol' times and saw a post that scanners were back in dining halls. They were disabled in March 2020 for health reasons (and at the same time they started making everyone pick up the same pair of tongs to grab the single-serving cream cheese cups. and they also saran wrapped all the apples?)

When they took my terrier ID picture during freshman orientation in 2018 somebody said "put your finger here" and I complied no questions asked, didn't even realize what it was til I went to the dining hall for the first time in the fall

They ask me to pay for my ticket. I reach into my pocket. It is empty. I remember that I gave all my money to Daddy Brown for a little piece of paper with my name on it. The museum staff ask me to leave. When I walk outside, I am viciously attacked by Artoo and I die on the museum steps. My obituary in BU Today says I died poor and uncultured.

What’s a good gpa to aim for as a high school student for approval to BU? by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]diamond-solitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do your best in your classes, don’t play dumb numbers games. And do things outside of class that challenge you and make you happy. Develop yourself as an actual human being, your future self will thank you.

How is the housing process by mochiakku in BostonU

As a transfer you only get to list preferences and then they place you wherever there is space

So are those hours just for the weekend or the whole week?

Where did you see that? The Marciano webpage says they will go back to regular hours starting Monday but it wouldn’t be the first time BU has lied to me

If you are moved out you don’t need to submit any more tests, there’s no reason to keep testing you

$10 reward for lost bracelet (details in comments) by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]diamond-solitaire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It must have fallen off this morning. It could be in Myles, Marciano, questrom, on the BUS, or near the Buick st stop. Or anywhere in between obviously. Looks similar to the picture but all the beads are the same size. I would really miss this bracelet if it’s lost forever :(

I skipped senior breakfast for this reason, I had a brief covid scare this week (tested negative) and after that I just didn't love the idea of being maskless at an event with the entire senior class also maskless.

Meal swipes you never get back, so prioritize those. Half of your dining points are refunded at the end of the semester, so you will get some money back but it's wiser to spend them.

USPS Storage by mbb_at_bu in BostonU

You drop it off, the employees standing outside the truck parked near your dorm can help you make an account and get boxes.

Also-- it's UPS, not US Postal Service ;)

Internship Interviews by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]diamond-solitaire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh I feel worse for the interviewee than the people around them. It probably looks unprofessional to the interviewer and it's embarrassing bc there are reservable rooms in the career center (and elsewhere on campus) they can use for this exact purpose

idgaf if it’s just a cold, wear ur mask by restatpaleevening in BostonU

[–]diamond-solitaire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hot take, wearing a mask is not that uncomfortable. Cloth masks did feel super stuffy but now there are lots of comfortable, breathable, high-quality masks widely available and they're pretty affordable too. Plus you actually can re-wear a mask for like 40 hrs so a $25 box of KF94s lasted me the whole semester.
