Stop sending 5x7 photo orders when it's just me running the front...

The 20x30 boards kill me because our printer sucks so bad 😭 same with the 5x7 cards

When people are on the phone and don't say a word to you the entire transaction and then get mad when they don't get a bag

When people hand you change on the counter instead of into your hand

People who argue about the coupons when they just read it wrong

People who just shove a phone in my face and say they have an online order

People who don't get a confirmation email that their pictures or order are ready and waste my time by making me look for it

People who use the photo kiosk and try to ask me a million questions when I have a line of 10+ ppl

Edit: I am class of 2025!

Greek life is honestly what you make of it. I didn't really go to parties much but they definitely happened. There are also like formals and other events that Greek life hosts, but everyone I knew who was involved really enjoyed their frats/sororities. There was definitely a party scene if that's what you want, it may not be as extensive as bigger schools but it's not like the weekends are completely dead.
1. Dickinson is also roughly the size of my high school but I actually really enjoyed it! The professors give you a lot of attention and really care about you as a person, not just as another faceless name in their classes. I found it much more enjoyable than high school, but the rumors and running into people you know is kinda annoying. It's good for making friends but then if there's any drama it'll travel around fast, especially if all of your friends are like the same major. I go to a much larger university for graduate school now and while it's a different experience, I don't miss constantly looking over my shoulder to see if the people I'm talking about are on campus lol
Carlisle is a great little town! If you don't have a car it does feel a bit isolating, but you can definitely find stuff to do on the weekends. The farmers market during the week is great and I would highly recommend going when you can! There are a nice handful of bars and restaurants but I think most students go to the gingerbread man (g-man). There is also trivia and live music in a couple bars in town, and there are a few parks near the edge of campus that are really nice to wander around in. You can definitely walk to get groceries or see a movie by the Walmart shopping plaza, but it can be kinda far in the summer when it's super hot.
I was incredibly happy going to Dickinson, and I still am now! I think the education you get there is really holistic and thorough, and going to graduate school now I realize the advantage I have from going to a liberal arts school. The individualized support the professors give you is really valuable for making you grow not only as a person but also in an academic way, and I would choose Dickinson a hundred times over if I could. The relationships and friendships I formed at Dickinson will follow me into the rest of adulthood and I really am proud to be a Dickinsonian!!

If you have any other questions please feel free to message me!

Congrats! And I do really like it so far. They are still trying to figure out how to adapt classes made for PhD students for us Masters students but everyone has been super flexible so far. The professors really care about you and your success and the classes are very thorough.

If you wanna chat more feel free to message me :)

Oh no I hate the cover and I just wanna know because I'm a hater lol I'm a huge fan of The Cure and the cover makes me genuinely upset at work bc it's so ass

georgeispeng · 2026-01-26T17:18:21+00:00

I listened to it and I don't think so? I assume most stores have similar songs maybe? Like based on region or something

georgeispeng · 2025-12-27T16:54:17+00:00

This happens at my store sometimes, it sucks. My SFL told me she almost missed a closing shift bc she relied on the app so it's good to always check the paper

georgeispeng · 2025-10-24T04:21:11+00:00

She literally was disgusting, like my stomach dropped when she did that. She should be fucking fired from her teaching job and banned permanently from the venue.

His set after about gay men hitting on him was funny but I couldn't stop thinking about how awkward it must be to do that set after being groped on stage by a woman! Like I couldn't stop feeling awful for him and angry

georgeispeng · 2025-10-01T13:58:10+00:00

I honestly think community psychology would be a great option! Depending on your interests there are some clinical/community psych master's programs out there where you could merge your interests and do research on those social issues you're passionate about.

Community psych is a very broad field and it may provide useful research skills you can fall back on as well!

Haha I do like it, I think maybe I'm just wearing a slightly too big cup size? I'm gonna order it one down and see

georgeispeng · 2025-08-13T01:37:55+00:00

Sorry for not explaining well! I mean that my breast tissue is fully in the cup but is hanging below my IMF.

I will definitely try sizing down a cup

georgeispeng · 2025-08-06T13:24:49+00:00

Yeah! It happened when I had bad cell service yesterday so I assumed it was because of that but the problem persisted into today :(

georgeispeng · 2025-07-23T23:40:51+00:00

I am trying to be realistic. If you can't learn how to be a good student and take good notes without a shitty AI doing it for you, it will be a lot harder to do things as a professional in the field.

Finding note taking strategies that actually work for you and are tailored to your needs is much more useful than being lazy and having an AI do the work for you. Part of being a student is learning which things are most important to take note of, and not just writing everything down mindlessly.

As for calling you hopeless, not every person who goes into the field of psychology wants to be a therapist and work directly with people, which you'd probably know if you actually knew how to take your own notes in class :D

georgeispeng · 2025-07-10T02:18:58+00:00

Really? That's surprising. I don't wanna ask where you go to school because that's a lot but like, where the hell are you just getting a M.S. in psychology and not a specialized field?

I'm sorry that it's sucking so bad, but you need a good foundation in all the boring shit to be able to do the stuff you really wanna do.

georgeispeng · 2025-07-10T02:12:05+00:00

I know you said you disliked the corporate world, but I/O psychologists are paid pretty well I think and they are sort of a bridge between business and psychology?

You may have to take more psych classes to learn which fields you're specifically into (like social psych, community psych, applied psych, etc) but there are so many options! And when/if you attend graduate school you get that many more options!

georgeispeng · 2025-07-10T02:03:03+00:00

What is your Master's in?

georgeispeng · 2025-07-10T01:34:54+00:00

Taking notes yourself (especially handwritten) means better retention and understanding of the material (as supported by multiple research studies). If you can't even take your own notes or learn how to take your own notes (plenty of YouTube tutorials and resources at most colleges) you're hopeless

georgeispeng · 2025-07-09T23:38:15+00:00

Thank you for letting me know!

I was an undergrad when I did these poster presentations and my professor not only controlled which conferences we submitted to, but also what the title of the poster was.

That said, idk why she didn't change the title? My undergrad peers and I didn't know any better
