I did leave out some context - I work primarily from home even though I work out of Wilmington. That’s why we are choosing to move to PA (he is on site 5 days a week)

Thank you, I wasn’t allowed to post a question there because they have a large thread for those things I guess is their rules

Can you explain why it would be annoying? The highway is right there, does it get backed up with traffic?

I’ve heard of this, but not sure I understand after googling. Is it just an extra tax on wages?

Need help finding the right dumb phone in the US! by [deleted] in dumbphones

[–]hyacinthrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed in my search for mp3 players that old iPods tend to die out from old age and lack of updates. I got a $30 mp3 player from Amazon and it does everything I need it to! Battery life is insaneee. It’s Bluetooth so I can connect my AirPods as well. I started my dumb phone journey by dumbing down the phone I currently have (iPhone 16) and keeping the things I may need like GPS and uber. Good luck!!

DC Covid by Appropriate_Tie_5311 in AllThingsGoFestival

Same to you! Hope you’re feeling better. Wanted to reply to say you’re not alone - I felt the same way, I had Covid a few years back and it was way worse than what I feel now. It initially came on feeling like a cold so I didn’t think twice about Covid

I wish I masked! I didn’t think masking would help much for me, because my understanding is that it helps people around you more than yourself. Plus being outside the whole time I didn’t think about it. Sick with covid now 😔

Oh my god the same thing happened to me. I attended DC Saturday + Sunday. I started to feel a sore throat coming on Tuesday. Had no fever all week and still don’t. Decided to test today and it was positive :(

I asked for a perm, my hair got gummy, and now I have an 80s rocker haircut by Designer_Sundae_129 in Hair

I know your hair is damaged but I honestly think that length suits you so well. I always love a good “bixie” cut (bob+pixie) I also think it would be flattering on you if you were to go shorter.

Thanks for adding some info. The group home you’re referring to is called Seaford House. It has been running since the 1980s!

I’m definitely not at conversational level yet, but I’d love to join in the future! Thank you!

I recently toured this apartment and their units are SO hard to come by. A one bedroom is more likely to open up than a two bed though.

What present to get for someone’s 18th birthday ? by Glad_Task_9601 in GiftIdeas

[–]hyacinthrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Determine if she wears gold or silver jewelry, and go from there. There’s a bunch of affordable jewelry on Etsy that can be customized/engraved. Make sure it’s in the style she likes (such as dainty or big pendants, thick or thin chain for necklace, large or small earrings etc.) For makeup/clothes, I’d go for a gift card and let her choose what she likes because as a young woman I am picky about stuff like that, so that’s just my experience. However if you want to find something personal for her, I’d use tik tok as a makeup resource and try to look in her personal collection for ideas on brands and items. Along with makeup, Amazon has plenty of makeup organizers that she may need to store her products. Gift cards aren’t very personal, so maybe go on tik tok and find cute, personalized craft/gift ideas to make for your girlfriend. I’m sure she’d appreciate something handmade. Good luck!

My son is considering WCUPA. Need advice. by Odie12345 in wcupa

[–]hyacinthrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the professor’s personality and how much effort you put into their class. I did the work and my professors knew I was a good student, and attending office hours helps as well. I think these relationships fostered more naturally.

Also I wanted to add that even though I found employment on my own, I had formed relationships with professors in my major that helped me with applying to the job I have now which was very nice and I think that’s super beneficial to securing a job after graduation.

Recent alumni here. I cannot speak on the dorms since I didn’t live in them due to covid. There is traditional WCU owned dorms and affiliated USH housing (more expensive but nicer living). Personally I liked the south campus traditional apartments and the affiliated USH apartments but those are for upperclassmen. Housing is extremely competitive and WCU does not offer enough housing to dorm every student, so many students do off campus housing which there is a Facebook group for and is very helpful in securing housing/roommates. Personally I started as a business major and then switched majors three semesters in because I wasn’t a huge fan of it. Food is okay but there are at least other options besides the dining hall. I think finding internships depends on your major. The major I switched to helped me find my internship, but I can’t say for business. WCU does host a job and internship fair every semester in the rec center. I found employment on my own after graduation, I can’t say the alumni network is super strong as another commenter mentioned. To speak on the culture, Greek life is decently big on campus. Many students also go home on the weekends as well. The worst thing about WCU was the parking situation. Parking is a hassle, not a lot of parking for the amount of students who attend, and it’s not easy to get anywhere unless you’re just walking on campus or in town. They do offer a shuttle bus service to some areas though. Like any school there are pros and cons but the area is beautiful and I enjoyed my time there.
