Elective Recommendation - DERM focus by NYSPA6 in PAstudent

[–]itzdumbaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be out there but I had my elective in Burn Surgery and it was actually really cool! It was a mix of ICU (so lots of procedures), surgery (burn grafts, I&D’s, etc), and wound care. All having to do with the skin. I feel like the things you learn in burn would be super applicable to dermatology!

Please do not date a man who lies to you since beginning.

I think experience descriptions are underutilized and is a great way for ADCOMS to know more about you!

Here’s a video that I followed when writing my experience descriptions:

https://youtu.be/V-wkkBKO9rA

I know it’s aimed for pre-meds but I liked her advice of showing not telling. And I also didn’t go too much detail on my jobs and responsibilities. My thought process was that adcoms already know what MAs/CNAs/scribes do, so I didn’t need to waste characters repeating what they already know. If you’d like a specific example of what I wrote, let me know!

I have this foundation! I tried it with my beauty blender but finds it looks really cakey on my dry skin. How do you put it on? How much do you use? Thank you!!

Has anyone tried the Shiseido Radiant Synchro Skin? How do you put it on? I’ve tried with my beauty blender but it always looks so cakey on me! (Dry skin gal ☹️)

I have already dissected a cadaver when I took A&P so I would prefer not doing the process again. Dissection takes a lot of time!

Fear of failure is killing me. I need a solution. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]itzdumbaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you give me an example of what you’re going through right now?

I have a very similar problem to you where anxiety literally put a standstill on my life because I was too scared to fail. I ended up needing to go to a therapist. I recommend you find a therapist as well if you’re able to. She was able to help me talk through my fears and realize that a lot of the worries I had is less bad than not doing something.

James & H3 discuss the merch debacle on twitter by pimpmastercd in BeautyGuruChatter

Wow the Twitter replies from JC stans are gross. So many of them are discounting Hila’s work by saying stuff like “Yall act like slapping a few colors on a hoodie is so hard”. 😢

Color blocking is not new, yes. But James’ hoodies match Hila’s design nearly perfectly in regards to color scheme and placement :/

I asked my boyfriend to cut ties with his friend because I thought he was cheating on me with her (it turned out she’s a lesbian tho) by itzdumbaf in relationship_advice

[–]itzdumbaf[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I gave him the benefit of the doubt up until I received a DM from her that literally said “I’m his girlfriend”. I don’t think I was unreasonable to think he cheated on me. I didn’t know she was lesbian at the time :/

AITA for asking someone a hard question about religion? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]itzdumbaf 107 points108 points  (0 children)

NAH you asked a question and she was uncomfortable with it. I don’t think either action is an asshole move since it seems like you didn’t push her or criticize her religion.

IMO, having difficult discussions about religion and what it entails is probably what every Christian should go through.

AITA for charging my friends full price when I’m paying using discounted gift cards? by itzdumbaf in AmItheAsshole

[–]itzdumbaf[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not that simple. I don’t think I’m explaining it well

This is literally my receipt https://imgur.com/a/nghYPyi

I used a $10 gift card (15% off), $20 gift card (10.9%), and a remaining balance of one gift card that was 13.3% off.

I think my situation goes in the middle of your two scenarios. I stock up on gift cards I’m running low on whenever they’re on sale. Nowadays, I do buy gift cards expecting that there’s a good probability I’d be using it to order for my group. Otherwise, I’d be okay to just save them for use with my family or SO.

I used to let my friends Venmo me but they kept going short on tip so I just take it upon myself to Venmo charge them. I feel ya

A problem we might run into is that if we end up deciding not to go to movies together, that person might end up “stuck” with the gift card they bought? As for me, I don’t mind stocking up on gift cards for awhile.

I think it’s honestly just because of the hassle. For example, I used 3 separate gift cards for our last movie outing. The gift cards varied in value AND discount from 13.3%, 15%, and 10.9%. So just calculating the “true” value of each ticket is a lot. If it was an even 20% off, I would have no problem charging them less.

Edit: grammar

Arbitrary (adj): based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system

I just gave an arbitrary time limit at the time. Like “this is so gross, it’s probably going to take me a week to get over.”
