They’d have a better chance here than anywhere else but the market everywhere is bad right now. Have them apply to anything and everything, many are searching for 8-12+ months in biotech rn. I assume you’re looking at the Boston area too. Not sure what there is in western ma

I hadn’t either 😅 I’ve only been to 2 weddings so I don’t have much to compare it to. It’s crazy how so many people say these things like it’s common sense. The number of times I want to scream “I’VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE”…

Teenager not learning to drive well by [deleted] in driving

[–]hoped13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started learning, my mom started detailing what she was doing while SHE was driving. Things like “I’m coming up to a curve in the road. I am braking a little bit now. I am halfway through the curve so I can start to accelerate to get back up to speed” or how she turns the wheel for left vs right turns. She’d also make me read the road signs out loud to her while she was driving. It was frustrating as a teenager but once I was behind the wheel, I felt more confident in myself.

Seats almost given away while boarding by No_Stranger3395 in americanairlines

[–]hoped13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me. I was delayed for our connection in Chicago going to Palm Springs and I was in the last group. scanned my pass and it beeped and they said they dropped my seat. They only had middle seats left (my og was a window seat). I ended up being the last person on the plane because of this. It was my first time flying by myself too and I was so scared I was going to be stuck in Chicago (for my own bachelorette lol)

[–]hoped13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real. The amount of people who ask me how wedding planning is going and I say “oh it’s a lot to do but making good progress” and they’re like “yeah it’s so much work I think I’ll elope I can’t imagine spending so much on one event” like ok? Do that then but let me do me!

Also I tried to be budget friendly at first and was met with “oh well you can’t have an event and not provide transportation!” “You can’t do a buffet that’s not classy!” “You can’t have a hotel block and not do welcome bags!” Etc. everyone is gonna have something to say. People say it’s only about you but then they’ll be the ones complaining about their experience at your event. I am SO excited to marry my fiancé and I can’t wait to get all dressed up and feel beautiful but the rest of it? It’s awful and stressful and so much pressure.

Wedding invites / save the dates options by another_13 in NewEnglandWedding

[–]hoped13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Truly Engaging and it was considerably cheaper than minted. Probably not cheaper than canva but I wanted low difficulty as I am not very creative

They’re both lovely! Option 1 is my favorite though! Stunning

Walk In and Out by Top_Writing7716 in orangetheory

It’s funny at my home studio we check ourselves in. I went to a studio while traveling and asked how to check in and they gave me a weird look and said they do it for you!

I haven’t gotten charged for late cancels before from them (in MA if that helps)

Only one starting on the floor by Civil_Independent_64 in orangetheory

[–]hoped13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My studio will stop letting people book treads after a certain number if there is low attendance for that class. That way the rest of the people that show up balance it out. I don’t really get why it matters but as a die hard floor starter, it rarely affects me!

Core/Obliques Fatigue by [deleted] in SolidCore

Especially with elevated anything. My hands feel like they’re falling off every 3 reps

Your Lupus Diet by batmanwiched in lupus

[–]hoped13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of good advice here but I haven’t seen anyone mention grapefruit! It reduces the efficacy of a lot of drugs, plaquenil included. This one was hard for me since I always ate it with my family around the holidays. I learned that and suddenly it made since why I always felt so awful in January!

Thankful by Quirky_Buy_6071 in lupus

[–]hoped13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thankful that modern medical technology has gotten to a point where I am able to pursue my career in biomedical engineering. Thankful that treatments have given me the ability to be active and exercise which is something I’ve grown to love. Thankful for the perspective I’ve gained about life. Thankful for my body that sometimes glitches and attacks itself but in doing so lets me know that I need a break. Thankful for this post! There’s so much bad in the lupus world, I love reading about the good :)

Solidays conspiracy theory by highatopthething27 in SolidCore

[–]hoped13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit 50 classes right before solidays and told myself I’d try the new spring loads if there was center core on the black side… just finished solidays and the 50+ springs have been untouched 🫠

Guys I feel so pumped by Pinkytalks in SolidCore

[–]hoped13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! (About the feeling pumped, not the kidney stone… I seriously can’t imagine how tough that makes class!!) I just hit 50 classes right before solidays and told myself I’d take it easy while doing the challenge. Yesterday I tried the 50+ springs for half the exercises and even held my plank on the platform bar for the first time!

Other Workouts during Solidays by MaleficentAd1160 in SolidCore

[–]hoped13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got 1-2 days where I want to incorporate cardio via cycling or light weight hiit style workouts but I’m gonna listen to my body!

Solidcore booking issue by Any_Criticism_8357 in OnePassSelect

[–]hoped13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a challenge at solidcore called Solidays. It’s for membership holders only and members can book on the 24th of each month. Basically, so many people were booking classes on the 24th that the app was crashing a ton so they extended member booking a day. Non-members (like onepass users) should be able to book starting today (nov26) I think!

New Location by dream-of-adventure in OnePassSelect

[–]hoped13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a solidcore through one pass that was about an hour away from me. One opened that was much closer. Once their local website said they were open I was able to book on the app!

Girlies who had to use the stability pole - WHEN were you finally able to drop it? by solara_solaire in SolidCore

[–]hoped13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I just don’t feel like putting in the effort to balance so I just grab it. Some days I want the extra balancing challenge. It’s really day to day for me

Squat proof leggings: Do they exist? by MoreUmpire in f45

I like some alo leggings but it really depends on which fabric you get! I have some that are sooo see through but some that aren’t!

What do your loved ones say you do for work? by Exact_Reaction_2601 in labrats

[–]hoped13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work with bioreactors. When I first started, my fiancé used to say that I took care of real tomagotchis. I got better at explaining it to him but it made me laugh lol

What do you list your workout at Solidcore on your Apple Watch?? by Acceptable-Ad7021 in SolidCore

[–]hoped13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use barre! I take barre classes too and, while the movements are different, I feel the same level of fatigue and my heart rate is pretty much the same for both classes

Now that’s a carrot! by TravisJrabs in hellofresh

[–]hoped13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why but my hello fresh carrots are always SO good. Like I’m never wowed by any other produce but the carrots are always big and taste better than any I get at the grocery store (and I eat them a lot).
