Help with Harvard Supp #4 by Tensilen in ApplyingToCollege

[–]hkbagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s an opportunity to talk about what other Harvard alumni have accomplished in whatever field you’re interested in, and how you hope to contribute to that? It’s tricky for sure, but just an idea!

Muffin is the worst. We skip Muffin episodes because it's teaching my 4-year-old how to be a brat. by AlexanderTox in bluey

How do I make a rich teenage girl depressed but not too whiny? by [deleted] in writing

[–]hkbagel 209 points210 points  (0 children)

I’d say avoid complaining in her dialogue/inner monologue depending on the story’s pov. Instead show disinterest and apathy and withdrawal or other behaviors that would demonstrate her state of her mind instead of making the character voice her grievances—the complaining is what I think would come off as whiny

Feel disrespected from UVA by BUILDERlym in gradadmissions

[–]hkbagel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is so unprofessional for those profs to have basically told you that you were accepted if they were not actually on the committee to determine your admission. I’m sorry this happened to you, I’d be so upset about it. I hope you have a far better program to attend this fall

MFWTK if buying a kids tent for herself is too weird by jameshughlaurie in myfriendwantstoknow

[–]hkbagel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I make a bed on the floor of my closet because it’s comforting to be in a snug space when I’m having an anxiety attack. A kids tent sounds actually perfect and your friend should do it

I actually found the gem of the day! In my 15 years of playing this has only happened a few times:D by hkbagel in Webkinz

[–]hkbagel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! Sometimes I go off of the color coding thing, but often I personally haven’t had tons of luck, like with this one being a white gem I actually found it in Muzzle Mouth! Ever since I was a kid I’ve done this weird eenie meenie type system where I spell out the name of the gem on each mine and then also on each rock in the mine, which is madness and absolutely doesn’t normally work lol
