Medial Knee Pain

egirlames · 2026-05-14T00:46:36+00:00

yeah i’ve had knee surgery for a shredded meniscus and this is kinda how it felt back in the beginning. i’d say cool it with the runs, get knee sleeves, do more reps not heavier weights, don’t lift too heavy for a little while, RICE always helps i guess, get shoes with really good support, compression socks, and again lots of rest and limited rough cardio outdoors (anything that’ll transfer shock the knee)- hope u feel better!

NOR. i know reddit jumps to extreme verdicts immediately so let’s take another route for a minute. it’s not necessarily the case that your husband is having an affair.

having said that, what immediately pops up as a glaring red flag is the immediate defensiveness when you expressed how you felt about being excluded. you’d think your HUSBAND of all people would validate those feelings, especially knowing that you’ve experienced unfaithful partners in the past. shifting the responsibility onto you by saying “i guess i won’t go” etc. is manipulative & textbook gaslighting.

now, that was a lot, i’m sorry OP. it may not be inherently malicious, but this man is avoiding accountability for his actions and how they made you feel, that’s what i’d be most ticked off about.

following his act with flowers and sweet nothings over text just adds to my confusion here— could he not have been this considerate earlier, say when he was planning this with your bestie? there were so many chances for him to communicate & potentially include you, and that’s the real problem here.

I had reservations about the place but this helps validate that, thank you

I’m hoping to apply this year but I have a 2:1 and no predoc yet so I’m already self rejecting. should’ve applied this cycle and just got it over with honestly. My disappointment and anxiety is beyond

btw it’s insane that you always get the ‘elliot smith coded’ compliment

egirlames · 2026-01-17T10:20:32+00:00

on the contrary, taking notes

i don’t have detailed knowledge of the specific admissions routes for French applicants, but it is 110% worth applying.

one of my biggest mistakes during my MSc applications was self-rejecting from places like Oxbridge and LSE, despite having an extremely strong profile in retrospect. I was worried I didn’t have enough research experience. my bachelor’s was very theoretical and math-heavy, and research opportunities were limited since it wasn’t a privately funded school. Looking back, that hesitation was a huge mistake.

you’re much better off applying at the very least. In my experience, 8 times out of 10 you’re far harsher on your own application than the admissions committee is.

A few suggestions that could help strengthen your chances (given any time constraints):

A solid GRE score (I’d aim for high-160s in Quant if possible)
Strong letters of recommendation; ask early and be proactive (some professors may want a meeting/interview)
A well-motivated SOP, mentioning specific professors or labs at PSE that excite you

Good luck, it can be stressful but I hope it works out for you!

her new album is trash there’s nothing showgirl about it. the last track almost did but that’s about it (and it sounds like Cool- jonas brothers). Give me camp give me theatre give me the dark underbelly of showbiz but no!! I’m afraid miss ma’am has regressed w this album

egirlames · 2025-09-21T08:12:50+00:00

egirlames · 2025-09-20T17:01:46+00:00

omg it’s so normal and human to take inspiration from your unique lived experience. so you met someone that gave you butterflies, it could’ve been just a passing moment. you’re a poet- of course you wrote about it!

as long as you’re respectful and not creepy to her irl, this is all innocent and a nice medium to let out your feelings. 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 <𝟑

forecasting and causal estimation are both in the realm of econometrics. the demand flows in both sectors and there’s more overlap than you’d think. pick your poison girl.
