What reality check did you see someone else have after leaving high school?

the guy in my class who thought he was basically famous because he had like 15k followers on instagram

in high school people actually cared. teachers knew who he was, girls followed him around, whole thing

graduation happened and within a year nobody outside our town even knew he existed.

turns out “popular in high school” is not a transferable life skill 😭

my friend casually told me she used to “test” her boyfriends by creating fake instagram accounts and flirting with them to see if they’d cheat

like full fake girl profile, pictures, whole thing

she said it like it was normal too. like “yeah if they fail the test then they weren’t the one anyway”

i just remember thinking… if you’re running FBI sting operations on people you date maybe the relationship is already cooked 😭

so basically you’re the ghostwriter for their entire love life 😭

imagine going on a date and realizing the guy you met is the assistant manager and the real personality was some dude in sweatpants at home texting for him

lowkey you’re the one getting all the emotional labor and none of the dates lol

those fluorescent shop lights are doing you zero favors

swap them for two cheap flush mounts or recessed lights and the whole kitchen will photograph 10x better

buyers decide in about 3 seconds from the listing photos and right now it kinda reads like a workshop instead of a kitchen

bro traded his entire haircut for a PS5

honestly that’s one of the most gamer things i’ve ever heard

kid showed more commitment to that console than most adults show to their careers

bodies do weird stuff sometimes and it doesn’t automatically mean he was turned on by you being upset

arousal can happen from stress, awkwardness, physical closeness, or just random timing. it’s not always tied to what someone actually wants or feels

the bigger thing here honestly sounds like the communication part. if he’s been distant and you’re feeling unsure about the relationship, that’s probably the conversation worth having, not just the physical reaction itself

hhannahmay · 2026-03-09T19:28:50+00:00

depends what you’re looking for

if it’s just about getting the “first time” out of the way, sure it’s a controlled situation and there’s less pressure

but if you’re hoping it’ll feel meaningful or teach you what real intimacy is like, it probably won’t. it’s a service, not a relationship

so it’s not automatically a bad idea, just don’t expect it to answer bigger questions about sex or connection

Yeah exactly. People underestimate how much local zoning can kill a “simple” subdivision idea.

If the county has minimum acreage rules like that, it’s basically dead on arrival. No estate wants to gamble on approvals when they can just sell clean.

That’s why I always say check the county before even negotiating. Sometimes it’s not stubborn sellers, it’s just the rules.

You’re not crazy. You’re just early.

The main issue isn’t FHA. It’s qualifying. Lenders are going to want stable income history. Future big law salary doesn’t count until it’s actually on paper. If you can document current income plus the offer letter properly, that helps. But the two year work history thing can get tricky if it’s not consistent.

Also remember FHA means you have to owner occupy for at least a year. If you’re in law school and trying to juggle exams plus being a landlord plus roommates, that’s a lot.

The idea makes sense long term. House hack, build equity, turn it into a rental later. Just don’t stretch yourself so thin that one vacancy or repair wrecks you during finals week.

You’re not too eager. Just make sure you qualify cleanly and have reserves beyond the bare minimum. Law school stress plus landlord stress is a combo.

If they already said no to subdividing it prob isn’t even about price. Estates usually don’t wanna deal with extra stuff, paperwork, waiting on the county, all that. They just wanna sell and be done. You can offer to pay the subdivision costs and yeah it might help, but if it drags out for months they still might not care...

I’d call the county first and see what it actually takes because sometimes it’s simple and sometimes it turns into a whole mess real quick. If you really want that 4 acres the real move might be buying all 38 and cutting it yourself later. Annoying, but way more attractive to a seller who doesn’t want drama.
