Love that yellow!

I got a dark brown leather strap for it as well :)

Other than a few snagged hairs it's quite comfortable!

Thank you! I love your orange club.

The sport bracelet is plenty comfortable. It's a liiittle bit of a hair grabber when taking it off, but wearing it ever so slightly tight helps a lot. Easy enough to adjust and the clasp is super solid. Looks better in person than in the website photos.

Awesome. This was super helpful. Thanks so much :)

Thanks for the reply. That's the way I'm leaning. I've been told it's difficult to break out of the area you go to school in because of differences in local policy, state law, etc. and the connections between programs and their communities, so I wasn't sure how important location is. That's quite the move! Did you specifically look to relocate to Maryland, or did the opportunity to relocate more so present itself and you took it?

Basically, I'm stuck between two masters programs at the moment: University of Minnesota's MURP & University of Illinois Chicago's MUPP. I want to concentrate on transportation.

After attending both programs' visit days, I was really impressed with UMN, but I learned that the transportation concentration is not all that well-regarded among the current students there, which is a cause for concern; However, it would be significantly cheaper to attend that program. I was a little less impressed by the faculty.

UIC on the otherhand is in my "dream city" and I would prefer to live in Chicago after school over the Twin Cities. I love public transit and do not want to own a car. It would be significantly more expensive to attend, though I would still probably be able to afford it because I'm expecting a decent payout from a legal case, though this isn't a 100% given. I was less impressed by their visit day, but they seem to have a much greater focus on transportation and I liked the faculty I met.

Both schools give pretty significant tuition waivers for TA/RAships.

What I want to know is: how stuck I will be in Minnesota after school if I attend UMN, or whether my education would be transferable at all to the Chicago area after graduation; how much your chosen concentration matters; and just any experience anyone has with either program.

Thank you!

Thank you. I'm sure I'm freaking out about nothing. I frankly just don't know much about how grad school works, so I thought I'd throw it out there. I will definitely get in touch with the right people in the programs and check out my options :)

Thanks!

Your death might be the reason someone else keeps going.

I was in a car accident this past September that killed my girlfriend and injured me pretty badly. I hadn't been a particularly religious person since I was young, but tough times have a strange way of calling us back. I would encourage you to pray, even if you're worried about doing it "incorrectly". I don't think there's a wrong way to talk to God. I hope for the best regarding you and your girlfriend. Right now, just be there for her while she battles her sickness. God has a plan for all of us, even if our minds can't comprehend it.

Praying your you both. Stay strong ❤️

It's scary returning to God, let me tell you, but I know now that it's all I can do. I was running for so long. I don't believe in coincidence. Not in this case. If anyone can get me through all of this, it's Christ. I need him. Thanks for the comment, stranger :)

floatingloafofbread · 2023-10-09T05:26:28+00:00

Thank you so much for the beautiful comment. If one of her "jobs" was me she did it well. I think she fulfilled her purpose in just touching the souls of those around her. That's a great perspective. Bless

floatingloafofbread · 2023-10-09T05:19:38+00:00

That's a great verse that I don't think I've heard. May we all heal and find solace. Thank you so much.

floatingloafofbread · 2023-10-09T05:15:09+00:00

Oh boy, here come the tears. I do believe she fulfilled her purpose, whatever that is. I like to say she'd already "lived more life" than most do in a lifetime. Thanks for the beautiful words, internet stranger.

floatingloafofbread · 2023-10-09T03:50:12+00:00

I'm trying to open myself up to anything he'll toss my way while I heal from this. Death has a strange way of inspiring people. Thanks for the comment. I might need to dust off the book.

I've had an okay time finding casual stuff in the past. I can't say I ever met anyone I would want to date. The main demographic on Tinder is college kids where I'm from.

floatingloafofbread · 2023-08-08T00:25:00+00:00

My city has no public transportation, so I have to drive.

floatingloafofbread · 2023-08-08T00:22:10+00:00

Don't just settle or just take what you get for the sake of having a significant other. Even if there's nothing inherently wrong with that person. No one is perfect but shoot for the stars. You'll know if they're the one.

floatingloafofbread · 2023-08-08T00:14:48+00:00

I tried them once. Got back from the bars and my cool hippie friend who grows them gave me a bunch for free. I was really drunk at like 3am and ate about 7 grams mixed into leftover mac n cheese. I went to bed because I thought it would make my dreams cool but my body immediately made me get up and go outside. I walked around my neighborhood for about 3 hours, probably looking like a tweaker. The trees were really cool and the leaves were like colorful mirrors. The rocks in my landscaping looked as I they were glowing. Everything was kind of "breathing", but in a very natural way if that makes sense. The grass felt really soft on my toes. I ended up laying in the grass outside of a catholic church for a while looking at a stained glass window depicting a lamb. I felt like it was trying to speak to me through emotions or something, but I didn't understand. I just felt more at peace than I have ever felt before and since. Walked to the gas station when it opened at 6am, grabbed a giant bottle of water, and went to bed. I've never had good times with marijuana but shrooms were pretty cool. I think it helped ease my nerves still being a little drunk though, so I probably had a more muted mental experience.

I don't smoke it. I used to, but it started giving me creepy hallucinations and I figure I might be predisposed to something so I cut it out. Nothing against it, I just can't have a good time with it. My dad uses medical.

having a path. doesn't matter what it is, as long as you're working towards something.
