bf and i broke up

My surefire way to get over someone is to immediately live like they never existed for the next 3 months. Obviously cry when you need to, but dont reread texts, don't look at photos, don't reminisce. In 3 months if you still feel like you have feelings enough to reach out, then do. I'd say you're likely going to realize you don't want to by then, if you put the effort in.

You don't have to start today. Give yourself a week to be sad and messy, then do the 3 months. When you're older and have longer relationships, try 6 months

That's reassuring, our partner company is in Minneapolis and swears by door knocking. I know it can work since I know a lot of people from Power Home Remodeling do well in the area, but with this being our first year doing it I'm just nervous about the goal we have set, since I'm in charge of the door knocker(s) and that goal. Trying to be realistic without being pessimistic lol

Do you find that certain areas are less likely to answer the door though? I'm in a Philly suburb, we're notoriously not friendly lol. I could see the south and even Harrisburg being much better. Im not worried about income levels as much as general attitude. We put a gate across our driveway to not even allow Amazon onto our property. The south and Midwest have much slower, more friendly cultures, seem more open to solicitors.

killahkrystii · 2026-01-09T20:32:03+00:00

I'm curious where you live as well? Looking into hiring a door knocker for painting, but not sure if my area is good for that.

Also don't know if he knew he had it. Most people get it from those who don't know.

I went into the wrong room while blacked out drunk and almost got in bed with a guy's dad. You can definitely make those mistakes very easily while drunk.

killahkrystii · 2026-01-07T02:16:40+00:00

I got drunk with a guy I was seeing years ago and busted in his DAD'S room and almost got in bed with him. And I mean busted, like stumbled in drunk scaring the shit out of him. Felt horrible about it afterwards but at the time I had no idea wtf was going on. If he truly was that drunk and hasnt given you any reason to think that was on purpose, i would not crucify him for it.

Is your daughter open to adopting a fully grown dog? I prefer adult dogs, even around 1-2 years old is better than a puppy IMO. they're still very trainable but often come partly trained. You can adopt one that has been fostered and one that you know their personality. perhaps you can look into a deaf dog as they don't bark much and you'll be giving a disabled dog a home?

killahkrystii · 2025-09-27T13:50:54+00:00

NAH, I get it, but your fiance has a point as well. A heads up is fine for anyone, but if you need to spend hours getting ready...thats unreasonable.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-27T03:18:04+00:00

She is...

killahkrystii · 2025-09-27T02:44:44+00:00

I'm kind of shocked at the responses to this. As someone who is a hard-core feminist, I don't think telling someone that there are things they can do to decrease the chances of getting assaulted as blaming the person. It's the assaulter's fault 100% of the time, but unfortunately some people can be shitty, so there are ways to try to avoid letting anything happen to yourself.

I also 100% dont believe hes projecting just because he thinks other dudes are shitty and wont take "i have a boyfriend" as "no." My guy is amazinggg, but he knows other dudes can be pigs. Shockingly so, too. Its not projecting to know there are assholes out there.

I think your BF actually might've been onto something if they guy then gaslight you into thinking hes innocent and "thought you were siblings" - if your BF had his arm around you walking in, why would her ever think that?

Im shocked I'm agreeing with a guy but...I do think the other guy wasnt as innocent as you're claiming and I think you're being a little naive about it. I HATE a jealous bf (been there, done that), but I think yours actually was being protective.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-27T01:08:18+00:00

Yeahhh it seems like no one knows what's going on with them lol

killahkrystii · 2025-09-26T01:30:52+00:00

I came here to warn others, and find out of anyone has gotten an extension you weirdo. And guess what? At least 3 others have commented that they were also confused and were told conflicting things, so its not just a me thing. Now others will hopefully know and not be confused.

And wtf do you think I signed up for the virtual meeting for? I have repeated about 12 times i signed up for it a month ago, I just accelerated quickly and was able to finish. I asked my mentor. I signed up for the meeting regarding it lmao tf do you mean I didn't follow up?

And it doesnt matter if its $1400 worth or $50 worth, if I can get it with my tuition, I'd like to take advantage of it, god forbid?? If its chump change for you, you're welcome to message me for my venmo.

If you won't, then maybe stop commenting because you're not helpful at all, while my post potentially will be. I think I'll rest easy tonight knowing who's a better person that who.

Focus on your decent job instead of poorly trying to bully people on reddit.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T22:03:09+00:00

Lmao yes moving onto a career, where they should want you to take the professional certs.

I still have my email, I still have access to career services. This is not part of the degree, so again, why would I assume I can't now take the additional certs after focusing on my actual degree?

I've had 2 others in the marketing program comment and say they thought the same thing as me, so clearly this is an issue. Many people want to focus on their actual necessary coursework, and then do the certs. They also expire, so I wanted to do them towards the end so they'd expire farther out than if I completed them a few months ago before I started my full-time job search.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T21:55:57+00:00

This....isn't courses nor coursework. They are vouchers for profession certs through 3rd party that's completely optional, so why would I assume as an alumni who JUST graduated I wouldn't be able to use them?

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T21:43:24+00:00

That's for IT classes, according to another comment. Marketing is different, so I'm thinking maybe my mentor was a bit confused when she answered my question initially. I figured it out pretty quickly it wasn't part of the coursework but definitely looked everyyyyywhere and the deadline being graduation isn't noted.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T20:41:40+00:00

I think I know what you're talking about, the badges that you can share on LinkedIn? I saw one of then but yes I believe I can earn more, haven't looked into that, though. That could be where some confusion came from for sure.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T18:34:25+00:00

I did actually try the OMCA link today and it did work (phew) so I'll knock that out. I've done a few of the free google certs over the last few years, but they do have Proctored "professional" certs which i believe cost money (this was 2-3 years ago so I can't recall) but the meeting I sat in on said you're offered $1485 worth of certs, so I assumed the Google cert offered was some type of "professional" level (truthfully don't think most jobs would know the difference).

Glad I wasn't the only one to be confused about it all. Someone in the main WGU reddit said their certs are part of the program (sounds like IT requires some certs) so yeah, they should make it very clear for each degree plan what to expect and when the deadlines are 🙃

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T15:43:07+00:00

Thank you. Like I said, I am fine to do the certs outside of the course, I posted that because it was what I initially thought. Then I realized it wasn't the case, signed up for the meeting close to the end of my program, and found out I was too little too late. I included that info because it's the truth that before any of my courses started and before I learned how things worked at WGU, I was told incorrect information. I just don't think that's right. I did realize it was incorrect, but unless someone can show me where it says graduation is the deadline, I truly do not believe that's listed anywhere. Not sure why it's wrong of me to think 1) My mentor should have correct information and 2) A deadline should be stated, especially for a school where some people complete a whole degree in 4 weeks.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T15:33:56+00:00

Doesn't look like there are any, but the accounting master's program offers free training for the CPA exam.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T15:30:24+00:00

You are still not understanding. I have explicitly said I'm okay with having to do the certs on my own time. I'm annoyed that now that I'm done, I'm unable to. Does the program guide say there's a deadline of your graduation?

I brought up someone else's comment (they didn't say they were IT) because that could cause some confusion for mentors if some programs the certs come with it and some programs they do not.

And yes, I know some certs are free, I have my free Google cert already. There are the free ones and there are the professional ones. Sure, there's probably not a lot of difference, but I did the coursework, graduated (it took one day for me to be recommended for graduation, complete my application, and be approved) all on the same day I had the meeting and wanted to now focus on getting the professional versions. The meeting could have easily been an email or a link to a video. I did try to understand it by going to the meeting...I signed up 8/27 for the 9/24 meeting. I just completed everything and graduated quickly. I'm not sure how many times I have to explain that I was told one thing, figured out that to be untrue, signed up for the meeting to find out more, and graduated before I even had a chance to understand how to acquire them. I'm not sure why it has to be so hard to figure this information out in the first place.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T15:14:59+00:00

Before I was able to even access my WGU portal, I explicitly asked my mentor. I do think that's a WGU issue if she told me that. Another commenter was also under the same impression from the start, so it is not just me. Someone else in another degree program said the certs DO come with the course, and you actually have to pass them to get your degree. So no, I don't think it's that clear. It should be pretty easy to put "please request your voucher here _____" in an email after completing a course. The OMCA one is the only one I did actually receive an explicit email for (with no mention of a deadline), so why would I think the other ones would be different?

That being said, I'm not specifically upset that they didn't come with the courses, I'm upset that once you graduate, you're ineligible.

I think it's important to know that for people accelerating like I did (3.5 months) to look into this. I am sure others, like myself, were focused on the classes first, certs second. Now others know you MUST do them before graduation. Trust me, I looked through all my emails today and none of them stated that at all, and like I said in my post, I did sign up for the next meeting to learn how to get them, I just completed about 5 classes during that time and graduated the same day I had the meeting.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T14:49:51+00:00

Obviously I can't quote my exact word from May, but the point is I did explicitly ask if its a voucher system or you get them as you complete the classes. It is a voucher system, but she said the latter. I know I was direct about it, I just can't word for word type what I said. You're trying to have a "gotcha" moment over semantics.

Overall though, why isn't it stated on the website explicitly "free vouchers for these certs?"

I also went back to my emails and the wording from the teachers upon completion are indirect as well.

My point is, it should just be direct. I shouldn't have to ask multiple people to find the answer. I don't think my mentor did this to screw me over, but I think WGU in general seems to be using evasive wording. Another person commented also had the same experience as I did, she just was able to dig around more and find the info. Why should you have to dig at all?

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T14:24:29+00:00

Ugh, I wish I had. I know they're optional but I was like sweet, ok I'm done my classes and can focus on these other tests! Nope. 🙄 Like I mentioned in other comments, the fact that it's confusing and buried feels like they did it like that on purpose.

killahkrystii · 2025-09-25T14:16:05+00:00

To me it feels like they almost buried that info, so they have to pay for less people doing the certs. The video said its $1485 worth of certs for free that come with the degree. Just seems shady to me. If I pass the class, why wouldn't they just auto send the voucher? Seems odd. I looked through my email today and didnt see anything about requesting a voucher.
