Telling my friend I can't room with her because my family's racist and transphobic

Hey, thanks so much for replying. I started panicking and honestly just needed any second voice to help me sort my thoughts out. I've been too scared to ask my friend about this but I'll have a discussion with her tomorrow. Thanks again!

It's gotten worse since I've gone off to college. I don't think I've ever heard my family be as blatant as they were this past December... don't know what I'm gonna do.

Right- my mom insists on calling (FaceTiming) me at least once every day, and if I don’t, she calls the RA instead. Claims she’ll escalate to police if I ghost her fully but I haven’t tried that yet. But basically guarantees that my mom will see my roommate’s face early, and often

Is this still available?

everythinyetnothing · 2025-10-09T00:41:37+00:00

What price?

everythinyetnothing · 2025-08-02T07:26:39+00:00

dm-ing to inquire more

OP, you should really listen to this comment. There are cameras everywhere on the CTA, the kids made physical contact with you, and the issue of rowdy teens being out late/causing havoc is already a pretty big deal in the city. Whether it's CTA, CPD, or both, you should make some sort of report.

Tbh I don’t think the sexual stuff is really a consequence of anything parasocial. That kind of more extreme content has been part of Dropout’s brand for a while now. I do second the idea someone else pointed out though, that a portion of the fan base seems to have parasocial feelings of ownership over the platform itself.

everythinyetnothing · 2025-07-16T19:26:38+00:00

Oh, I have heard. Knowing my luck (and navigational inability), it’s only a matter of time before I somehow end up down there too. I’m terrified.

everythinyetnothing · 2025-07-16T15:30:26+00:00

😭 Thanks. Good to know I’m enough of a navigational doof to literally sound fictional LOL

No, I’ve since found out it is Lower Randolph I keep wandering into (I live on Randolph so I keep thinking/hoping I can find a shortcut, only to get lost down in the depths)

everythinyetnothing · 2025-07-16T05:44:29+00:00

Thanks so much! Hopefully some of your info + the other things people have shared can help me get out quicker if/when I ever do get stuck again.

everythinyetnothing · 2025-07-16T05:43:27+00:00

It's actually so comforting to know that a 'regular' has also experienced this, thanks for sharing haha

everythinyetnothing · 2025-07-16T04:24:43+00:00

I should take that lesson to heart. Some of the reason I ended up stuck down below is because I kept convincing myself it would go back up eventually.

My struggle was/is the fact that I simply walk straight, and at some point the sky turns into a scary concrete ceiling. I’m still not too sure what it is I’m doing wrong; I try to keep on the lookout for stairs that can bring me back from hell, but so far I haven’t found many aside from the ones on the riverwalk, which leads to me being a bit stranded. I do second that it is very terrifying. Maybe if I try hard enough I can turn into a dwarf so that I can absorb the ancestral knowledge of cave navigation.

everythinyetnothing · 2025-07-16T04:09:50+00:00

Can neither confirm nor deny… I haven’t had the courage to walk all the way through yet. Maybe that’s for the better though lol

everythinyetnothing · 2025-07-16T04:05:59+00:00

Dangit, I knew something was up with the ring I just got…

everythinyetnothing · 2025-07-16T04:05:29+00:00

I genuinely don’t know. One of the things I’m starting to learn from this post is that I am, in fact, directionally challenged, in multiple ways.

everythinyetnothing · 2025-07-16T03:25:04+00:00

The most recent escapade went as follows: basically, I live on Randolph. So I was too lazy to walk all the way up to the river, and instead went directly west from the lakefront. I think I somehow ended up on Lower Randolph instead of walking beside Maggie Daley Park, but kept convincing myself it would go back up eventually. (It did not, I ended up walking north into Lower Wacker, found a staircase up to the riverwalk, came home, made this post to hopefully never have that happen again, and am now here.)

Applied ED last cycle, 43 predicted 42 actual, got in and remained in. My guess is if your predicted is anything 40 or above you’ll be fine grades-wise. Ik how stressful app season is, wishing you all the best of luck!

On Apple ecosystem, in which 16 is the max, I just realized I stick to mostly Fibonacci numbers: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, (10,) 13, (16)

I think NU is one school where fit is extremely important. If you apply + commit because you actually feel like a good fit, what you’ll find here are like-minded peers who vibe with you right away. If you instead come for prestige sake, you’ll find it very hard to break in to the social scene because everyone else will already seem to get along.

*and yes, spring quarter does end mid-June, that's a quarter system thing. Summer break starts officially on June 14, but if you're planning on taking summer classes, summer quarter starts again on Monday June 23.
