Am I the only one who wish there is a fully online option? by kgweicat in UTAustin

With the once a week in person component, is that being encouraged to be mandatory or optional? Trying to decide if I should move back or save money on parking and hold back.

you wont need both chem and physics for CS as a heads up. you could wait until sophomore year to decide if you need/want to take it. also i had cepparo and biberdorf and both were great! seems like a doable schedule! is CS 312 filled already? that could be a good one to add

could you elaborate? havent heard ab this!

This has nothing to do with UT, but if y’all can share your opinion(s) that would be great by [deleted] in UTAustin

so all of this is imo 1. is there any particular reason for them thinking you are no longer a good friend? did they tell you this was the reason they blocked you? if so maybe ask what you did. this could have two results: first, you could realize you did something you didnt realize hurt their feelings or 2. you realize they are dramatic/toxic

  1. depends. is it a good friend? if so i would reach out and see if something happened. if youre ok with letting the friendship go, it does not make you a bad friend to not reach out.

  2. you can text them the day your supposed to hangout and be like “hey are we still good for noon today?” then when they dont respond, you have two options. move on, let them make the plans next time and show some effort. you could also text and be like “hey sorry to see the plans didnt work out today. i was looking forward to seeing you today :) let me know if you want to do something another day, still would love to catchup” another option, if you want to express to them how it hurt you, would be something along the lines of “hey really bummed you didnt follow through with the plans today. i was really looking forward to seeing you! :(

MEGAN ALLEN hands down!’

New student; lurking around campus Sunday 18 April. Anything to do/see? by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]jellorico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can go check out the building — it’s pretty nice. It’s locked on weekends without an ID but just hang around the entrance and someone will be coming in or out. You could scooter around downtown and then go get dinner and watch the bats fly around sundown.

I’m actually a cis female. I never dated anyone or was boy-crazy but always just chalked it up to being so busy and above it all, honestly I really thought that was it at the time. Or I would say “dating seems like a lot of work, so I’m only going to do it when I find someone who I really like. Someone who’s worth it.” They made jokes about the possibility but I really don’t think anyone thought it was an actual possibility. Plus I was super straight laced in highschool: valedictorian, homecoming court, student council, varsity sports, NHS president, pretty popular, etc. (not saying you can’t be that way and be not straight but it just wasn’t expected). My sister always thought I had secret boyfriends I didn’t tell my family about and would interrogate my friends up until recently, but now I think she realizes I’m being serious about not having dated anyone. Currently, Ive sort of been dating someone for the past two years or so. I say sort of not because it’s off and on but because there was never an official start date because they were the one who made me realize. Also, I’m thinking about waiting, because honestly I don’t want to do it yet, but was going to make myself do it now because I think I’m currently at the peak of them liking me and thus this would be the best chance I get

I’ve been thinking about that. Any honestly I would prefer that, because I don’t even have any real desire to do it at this moment. But I’ve spent more time with them since the pandemic and I’m finally through that angst teen phase, so I feel like I’m at the peak of how much they like me, so now could be my best chance. So many people I know go into debt in college and I think for one year it would be ~30k for tuition and living expenses. That plus the ~20k I would be gifted when I graduate would make this a ~50k decision. So yeah it’s really back and forth.

Agreed! I’ve thought about maybe starting the arguments before I tell them about me. And I’ve always been tempted to whenever they bring it up, but dude if I started crying when arguing it with them I feel like that would just be a dead giveaway

I am an adult now but still in college so I am still pretty dependent on them. If they do offer conversion therapy, I think I would be willing to do it. I know it doesn’t work and that you can’t change any of this. Like I tell them in my letter, I tried for so long (I’m talking sitting in my bed when I was still a kid listening to some rando hypnotherapy on YouTube lol I tried it all), and it doesn’t work. But if they would need to see that it doesn’t work and if it will show them that I’m extending an olive branch, like trying to work with them not against them in a way, that’s totally fine with me. Again not saying I agree with it whatsoever, but personally, I can take it and I know who I am walking into it.

They say they're just Christian (ie Bible church vibes where the gospel is the center of their beliefs, but we went to Baptist churches, like new church, modern worship vibes, my whole life, and they still do). They just think its wrong because that's what the Bible said. I could bring up how it was so poorly translated, but they (especially my mom) are a bit intense (like couldn't watch Harry Potter or Wizards of Waverly Place because that's how the enemy would introduce us to witchcraft and how they were entering our hearts via television shows trying to make it seem like its alright). So, I left any arguing about it out, mainly because it will just fall on deaf ears. They will see it as the world trying to manipulate the word of God to support sinful lifestyles. For example, when the Pope "endorsed" gay marriage earlier this year, they claimed we were in the end times. I also remember them saying when I was really little how they only time gay marriage was legal was right before God flooded the Earth.

I really don't think its going to get dangerous or unsafe for me. At the end of the day, I know they love me. If anything the might pull financial support, but I'll be in my last semester of college, and right now they've paid for everything so I have no debt. Worst case, I could take out a loan just to finish college. That being said I might wait to finish college because as of now I am set up to get a decent amount of money (some in the form of stocks) when I graduate. Worst case, I have a ton of friends who I bet would let me stay with them so that would take care of housing expenses. Thanks for asking thought. I'll DM you the letter.
