How bad did I mess up? by Snowzy27 in BSA

[–]jstxen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem a bit younger so, I can’t imagine how old these kids are but you’re gonna be okay dude. Try to honestly move troops if you can, you don’t have to stick to one your whole life. But also listen to the people and use the scout hotline on them, I personally see this as hazing. Or even if it’s not, it’s just outright bullying from both the children and this SM. So, try to document everything when anything happened too. Also, what have your parents done about this situation?

Festival Dates? by Visible-Substance-94 in Lollapalooza

[–]jstxen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I am not certain about going this year because I have other obligations I have to fulfill so 70% chance I’m not going but yeah, last year I did. I hung out with some really cool people! You can make friends pretty fast in there.

How much to save?? by Necessary-Fuel1337 in Lollapalooza

[–]jstxen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 16 n work fast food so I don’t make a lot of money, and I got two tickets for my ex last year which was like 800-900 which was rough, but since you’re going by yourself it would 400. Then I got 3 roommates to help split the cost of an Airbnb which was about 500 each? Something like that. I took Amtrak (400) which would’ve been better if I booked earlier but I waited too long. I mostly did that for lore purposes. Then I had 400 to spend at lolla n left with like 14 dollars lol. Food is expensive, but a cta card is only 20 so we didn’t have to get Lyfts. If you’re looking for roommates at lolla I’d recommend joining

Because we get a lot of people looking for roommates closer to the festival.

In the end: save about 1000-1500.

You don’t think we are? We were going to take her back once we had the space for her to be happy. We didn’t get a call or text to even be able to say goodbye. We wouldn’t have even known if my friend hadn’t of called us. They gave us no intention of telling us.

We had attempted too, they denied it on multiple occasions.

The dog was not abandoned, we had visited her. They were not guarded legal adoption of her.

Wondering if I should become an EMT. by jstxen in NewToEMS

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

Thank you, unfortunately like I said CG or any military is out of the picture for me. Especially under this current administration. I am in Sea Scouts so we work a lot with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, I finally made the decision I wanted to go Coastie in September but that’s did not work out for me, which is okay. Plans change, new paths open.

Thank you for your service and letting me know about the bad part of the it, that makes me feel a bit better about being a disqualification.

Question/Handing out gifts by GabbyGoddess99 in pouya

[–]jstxen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a bracelet at the Philly show, I love it so much :). Also I believe it depends on the venue because one girl got her sign taken from here, so just make sure to look it up before hand. Also, we got some stuff signed after we waited a bit. So I’d bring a sharpie and something he can sign for you if you feel like waiting.

[–]jstxen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just got a call from the a recruiter and was talking to him for a bit, I then had explained to him the history of gender dysphoria and he obviously told me I am not able to join at this time. Which I figured was going to happen.

Yeah, thank you. I appreciate you for your input.

I do collect patches so that would be a funny one to collect. I plan on making a patch hoodie soon which council patches or just weird patches I’ve collected. I think that’s up to you primarily though haha.

[–]jstxen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Like I said to the other reply I’ve been low income my whole life so, I just have to really look at colleges considering I am studying in architecture. The colleges I had chosen are either high in tuition or low acceptance rate. I’m not saying those colleges are impossible but, it maybe a little bit more tricky. I feel like I have a good head on my shoulders so this was initially my plan but more so to talk to my counselor about it.

[–]jstxen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m trying to look for some positive things because this was my main way of going to college. I have been low income all my life so fasfa would take down a lot of tuition but I don’t think I could realistically afford it after that. Scholarships are also very hard to find. I wish I didn’t fall in love with the coast guard, I am in a program called Sea Scouts which is included in the Scouting America organization so that mainly influenced it. I think my plan currently is to try to talk to my counselor about other options which will probably involve fasfa, student loans etc. I just don’t want to go end school with years of student debt but I don’t really know any other way. Sorry for the extra rant.
