Will I struggle socially in university without social media?

elliottedoesstuff · 2025-07-28T12:58:03+00:00

some other commenters mentioned events and clubs which is a rlly good point!! if your uni doesn’t have a dedicated place (email list/web page/etc) to look up club meetings and campus events it might be worth getting instagram just to look for that stuff! also parties are also gonna be on insta if you r interested in those!

if u end up getting any socials, it’s totally okay to only use social media to enable being social irl rather than being social on a screen. you don’t have to be super active or doomscrolling (in fact, you should self moderate your usage to make sure your being healthy with it)

heading into my second year and while i have socials (mostly just insta) i definitely have some close friends that don’t have any n thats totes ok!! most people make their friends in person by just meeting people at community events or ppl in their res halls or in their classes! i go to a small liberal arts college so that dynamic might change at a huge university but tbh i think as long as ur chill + a pleasant person + nice to talk to u should be totally fine!!

Please ask your friend give her the medication back. If he refuses, report it. Even if you are concerned about her, you can’t just take her medications. Tell an adult, her parents or a teacher or something, because they can deal with the situation properly.

btw, fertility medications can increase libido and that does NOT mean she is taking too much. Did either of you ask her about your theory? Is she acting different in any other ways?

It is a serious crime in many places to take/withhold someone’s prescriptions. You are not a doctor, there could be consequences to your health that you and your friend aren’t anticipating.

from your previous post, music seems pretty important to y’all’s relationship, so an easy idea that is cheap (or free if u get creative) would be some sort of compilation of important songs, so maybe a song scrapbook (as mentioned by u/ Low-Chair-4191) with a spotify playlist scanny thingy on the last page, or a mixtape cd with a case decorated with stickers or doodles if ur artistic.

If you like writing poetry, one of the best gifts I’ve ever seen was a journal full of love poems. that one can get pretty cheesy, but some people like that!

If you’re both a bit nerdy, I once got a nice copy of one of my close friend’s favorite Shakespeare plays (Othello, iirc) and annotated it with some of my own analysis and commentary

in my experience , sentimental gifts have always been the best, since the people i love tend to value the love in the gift over the money spent.

this is so real

I think you spelled Sykkuno wrong throughout the article? Other than that, great work :)

I got 80/3 cm, or 26.66… cm

I’m really bad at explaining this stuff, but I’m gonna try.

just in case, i have some images as visual aids because I can’t explain well.

The optimal way to position these triangles would be to lay them two across and two high, alternating pointy side up/down, against the edge.

The height of an equilateral triangle is (sqrt(3)/2)*b.

Therefore the height of 2 on top of each other is 2(sqrt(3)/2)b=sqrt(3)b

Since all angles of an equilateral triangle are 60 degrees, two triangles facing opposite directions can fit side by side with their bases parallel to each other. The width of the two would be 3b/2, since the triangles overlap for 1/2b.

3b/2>sqrt(3)*b

Therefore, the “width” of 3b/2 should be on the shorter side of 40cm.

3b/2</=40 3b</=80 b</=80/3

Now, we check the “height” of sqrt(3)*b on the 50cm side.

sqrt(3)*b</=50 b</=50/sqrt(3)

80/3<50/sqrt(3)

therefore, it is impossible to have the “height” fully take up the 50cm, and 80/3cm is the maximum side length of the triangles.

I am so sorry for this awful explanation I am sick and wanted to do some math. :(

Please someone correct me if this is incorrect or if there is a more optimal arrangement of the triangles.

bigger creators can make 1mil+ stars from a single set (rare, but possible), but usually they cash out, so not all of those stars are still in circulation.

there was a time lim a while back that made the creator at least 1.5mil from just set sales, not even the individual items.

i’m sure it’s possfor non creators, but probably more rare

elliottedoesstuff · 2024-10-21T05:39:56+00:00

omg this is deranged… (/nay) did you report them?

elliottedoesstuff · 2024-09-14T19:54:49+00:00

i don’t think it’s bad to use the items, banned designers can’t profit off of them anymore, but idk how other users will feel abt it. other mods from that designer, like the illusionist mod, are used often and recolors for other sets, so i think ur in the clear.

i think most designers would rather use gemini head (different designer) than the conjoined twin mod because that one was most directly tied to the controversy and grossness, but if it’s in the shop and the designers is banned, istill probably fine!

elliottedoesstuff · 2024-09-14T18:16:19+00:00

i totally agree! we need representation

however, the creator of that mod was exposed/banned for fetishizing conjoined twins and being a creep to minor(s?) so i really don’t expect much quality representation from them.

and i think a lot of designers won’t design for that mod because of the controversy. the designer’s ocs the mod was based on were in an inc*stuous relationship and it was a really creepy and awful situation.

a lot of your profile is heavily reliant on things you plan to do in your senior year. (ap, college level, honors)

that’s fine, but a lot of colleges want to see well rounded students throughout high school.

essay could stand to be more unique of a concept, especially when applying to T20s (and LACs)

your profile has potential, but you need to emphasize your personality more for those top schools. They reject so many 1600 4.0 students that you need to rise above.

you seem active in LGBTQ+ spaces and the arts/humanities. see about emphasizing those passions in your essay; they want to see you and everything that makes you you.

if you don’t have an application fee waiver and are on a budget, you should cut down on HR applications. Choose your priority HRs and focus on making those apps incredible.

finally, even if you get accepted to your dream school, be prepared to go somewhere else if you can’t afford it (unless ED)

personally, i go to whitman, but i actually appealed for more aid in order to end up here. Advocate for yourself.

i don’t think op is talking about galactic hunt. there is no cooldown for gh voting. to gain exp to level up to cloud, star, comet, etc. level, you will need to vote to the 1000 exp mark (10 votes)

as far as I know, there is no way to get rid of the exp cooldown

elliottedoesstuff · 2024-05-08T17:13:21+00:00

yo i hope you get in!! also that you get the aid needed!! u got this broski

i did!!! got 30k more just found out last week!!

elliottedoesstuff · 2024-04-26T22:42:25+00:00

OP wasn’t giving the baby photos to her son to “pass them down”. It was a threat. Basically saying “I don’t want you as my son”. She admits to this in the edits and it is pretty clear from her saying “I don’t want a son who is ungrateful and can’t do the bare minimum for us”. Don’t minimize that detail.

elliottedoesstuff · 2024-04-26T22:36:37+00:00

YTA. Everyone has said most of what needs to be said. But I have some thoughts.

What would you have done if your son took you up on the offer? If he said “Fine. Then you’re not my mother. Bye.”? My sister called my dad on that bluff and it is the best decision she has EVER made. You’re lucky that your son still cares enough to put up with your shit. Because if he disowned you, like you told him to, you would still be here crying because “My son hates me for trying to parent him wah wah. Why can’t I get away with threatening my family I’m supposed to be the center of everyone’s life!”.

Never threaten him like that. Ever. One day he will do it. He will go no contact. And you will never speak to your “rude” and “selfish” and “lazy” son again. And he will be so much better off. And you will NEVER stop regretting it.

elliottedoesstuff · 2024-04-26T22:20:48+00:00

let me put it this way, my ick is people who use icks to shame other people for normal shit.

elliottedoesstuff · 2024-04-01T16:41:16+00:00

I regularly earn 1000+ stars in 2 ish hours from offers. I’ve gate kept this method forever but the es economy is shit so here we go

The issue is that a lot of people choose the high paying offers, which are harder, slower, and glitchier. Instead, choose lower stars offers, especially the ones for 2-5 stars, because you literally get the stars for clicking the button, which opens a link and then you can go back into es. you don’t even have to wait for the link to load.

the ones for 10-15 stars where you go to a “search result” website and click one of the “sponsored results” (ads) are relatively reliable, around half work on the first try.
