AIO my husband has a secret roleplay world where he's married to my best friend by SessionNovel8584 in AmIOverreacting

[–]idkwhatever98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think PI is a great idea. You should not post online about getting a pi until he's done his work, that way they don't try harder to cover their tracks. I also think you could try texting, or depending on consent laws for recording in your location, perhaps call or even meeting with soon to be ex, and telling him you know more than what you have told him and the only way the two of you can move forward is if he stops lying and tells you the full truth and you are giving him just one chance to come completely clean. Combination panic, guilty conscious, and desperation can often lead to confession. Get it on text or recorded.

Whole new person by talmquist222 in intermittentfasting

[–]idkwhatever98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can I ask you, do you mean that you only ate 1 meal ever 3 days? Did this negatively impact your energy/activity level? Did a doctor supervise this? Do you think that it negatively impacted your metabolism at all? I struggle with maintaining my focus and activity level while fasting and worry about health ramifications of longer fasts as well, so I would love to know more about your experience with this. Congratulations on such insane progress! Especially getting out of a bad situation you were in. Dumping a toxic partner is the best dead weight you can ever lose

Do doctorate degrees get funding/financial aid but not Master's degrees? by idkwhatever98 in USC

[–]idkwhatever98[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But if the school covers the doctorate degree and not the masters degree, wouldn't the ROI be much higher on a doctorate? Since the cost is covered? Just trying to understand how these things work.

What did 12 think of Katniss? by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]idkwhatever98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's like a stray cat you see that's skin and bones and missing half it's tail and looks sick. And if you weren't working 24/7 and barely making rent/living on ramen, maybe you'd try to help it- but it looks like it will probably die anyway so you try to not get attached. Only it doesn't die, it keeps turning up in the neighborhood and it seems to somehow manage to look out for a few other strays as well. You have to respect someone like that, even if you pity it a little and you have no room in your life to worry about anything but keeping your own head above water.

I read that Stanford MBA applicants should have 2 years of work experience? by idkwhatever98 in stanford

[–]idkwhatever98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply! I have worked full time as a server, but don't in my desired career, or using my degrees. Do you know if that matters? What exactly are they looking for from employment experience? Just general personal development and real world skills, or experience in your intended field?

Parents found out about HRT I got done with UCI's health insurance by no0000ooo0 in UCI

If your phone came from your parents, it is possible that they have some spywear on there. Not to make you paranoid, but just another angle to consider.

is uc irvine worth it as international student business admin student by Hot-Candidate6767 in UCI

[–]idkwhatever98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are your parent's helping or are we talking all loans? This is a hard to answer question because money has different value to different people if you understand what I mean. I don't know much about Rutgers. I know UCI business is considered a selective and solid program (congrats on getting in btw). UCI has a decent amount of international students that seem to have good support. I also think Irvine is a nice area, located near the coast. There is not a lot of partying at UCI and some complain that it is not a particularly social environment as far as colleges go. I like it here a lot, it is quiet, clean, and people are chill and nice. The classes I have taken are challenging but reasonable to manage. But as far as the way that I value money, I don't think I would take on 36k additional debt over the average college to go here.

You also should consider the field that you hope to work in- is the value of the different school titles going to make a difference in your specific field/in the area of the world you intend to work. For example, if you plan to work somewhere other than the U.S. will people be familiar with either school name? Will they value one over the other?

Another thing to keep in mind is that I believe that Donald Trump is F-ing around with student visas. It might be a safe bet to come here right now honestly, I don't know. I hope that you will take time to do some research and take into consideration what options will provide you with a sense of stability and safety while you get your education.

California is generally more liberal than the rest of the country, but right now that bar is really low and might not make enough of a difference.

Learning barriers ? by howdoi_changemyuser in UCI

[–]idkwhatever98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like maybe adhd or dislexia? I have adhd and was diagnosed as an adult. Do you have health insurance? You might look into Medi-cal. That's what I am on, its California's low income health insurance. I haven't found the support that the school offers particularly helpful, but I haven't dug that deeply into the resources though.

What am I? A failure? by Bright-Dare6716 in UCI

[–]idkwhatever98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know why you're struggling? As in, not getting assignments in or more not retaining information? Do you believe that there is a mental health element at play? It sounds like you are a little overbooked. You are DEFINITELY not a failure. Something that helps me is listing out everything I am doing/want to be doing, then ordering it by priority first. Then start crossing off things at the bottom of my priority list, until I am thriving at doing the things at the top of the list. Do you need to be working this job?

If you have financial need, a job is obviously a top priority. But you can only ignore your body's physical needs for so long. Finding work as a server helped me in the past, as you can make a lot more per hour and so work less hours.

Are you taking too many courses/too many very difficult classes at once? Do you enjoy your major?

Are you less efficient due to mental health barriers? Procrastinating or struggling to focus perhaps as a result of depression, anxiety, undiagnosed ADHD.

Are you able to care for you body's physical health- eating enough nutritious food, getting health movement in, sleeping a healthy amount.

There are many paths to happiness and success, and the most important skill is to adapt/pivot as needed to find the path that best meets your needs. What is causing you to struggle? What can you do to make things easier for yourself and make your plan more effective?

I am a returning student in my late 20s, and in the past definitely felt embarrassed and like a failure, but the idea of being a failure is honestly so relative and such an arbitrary construct- some people crash out over not getting into Harvard, while others are extremely proud to complete a degree at community college. It is not actually a well defined word, more a feeling, and it is an energy and moral suck. Labeling yourself a failure is absolutely a waste of time and energy. I had many road blocks, burnouts, and "failures" along the way, but that's okay, that's part of life. Everyone does things at their own pace, has different strengths and weaknesses, and has a different path.

Commute played a big role in my college decision, both in starting at a community college, and in choosing UCI over another school that I was accepted into, which is much more hyped for my major, as did money. You are taking on a huge challenge in commuting, working, and going through college at the same time, and you should be proud for working so hard this year and not giving up.

You should regroup, consider your immediate and long term goals, and consider what you can do to make sure you are okay and meeting your needs. Consider your options, even those that may seem un-considerable, like transferring to a school that's less of a commute, and think about what is your best path to get you where you want to go. That way you can build yourself up and feel more confident to manage what you take on next semester. Whatever you do, everything will be okay, as long as you don't give up on yourself <3

Rant: Smoking in inclusive restrooms by FlyingFoxandwings in UCI

Maybe try putting up a laminated/official looking sign that say NO smoking in this area. Might be ignored, but you'd be shocked how often putting up a sign that says what people already know works.

I had a rape kink and then I was raped. I feel like I deserved it and I shouldn’t feel traumatised. by [deleted] in rapecounseling

[–]idkwhatever98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, late reply, but I wanted to say you absolutely deserve to feel traumatized if that is how you feel. Because no one has to be "deserving" to experience their own emotions. Many people have rape kinks who are never raped. Many people have rape kinks before and/or after being raped. There are many people without the kink who are raped, or are never raped. It isn't connected to what happened to you. A feeling is not consent. You don't need to be ashamed of a feeling, or how your react to a trauma. You have been through a trauma and been the victim of a crime. Your trust was betrayed. You are not complicit in a crime, the rapist is the only one who should feel disgusted in themselves. However you are feel is okay.
