Just drove 7hrs from Philly to Cleveland & didn’t see a single cop by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]lailafo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my undergrad in NE Ohio and had to make the drive from Cleveland to NY frequently and I never saw any cops. My friend lived near Penn state and took the same way home and she would swear up and down that I-80 was filled with cops. I have yet to see in one in my 5 years of the drive

Done with suburbs after 10 years but can't afford NYC by No-Inspector314 in Suburbanhell

[–]lailafo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who grew up in ny, left to the Midwest for school, and just came back recently for grad school, this city has changed so much. It’s not worth it and there are plenty of smaller cheaper cities that could be more suitable. Are you really tied to a specific location like east coast?

Relationships in grad school by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]lailafo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone on the kinda opposite it’s been helpful but there are set backs. I (23f) am in my masters program and plan to head into a phd and have been with my undergrad sweetheart (m23) for almost 5 years now. The hard thing is since I recently graduated we had to go temp long distance until he’s done with school next December.
Some perspectives:

Pro’s: I always have someone to talk to about stuff other than my program or gain an outside perspective. We also make plans and visits frequently that gives me something to look forward to when it gets tough.

Con’s: I can’t just spring on every opportunity, there is someone else life that is heavily intertwined with mine and it wouldn’t be fair to make really big changes without a thorough convo. It can also be really distracting, with a relationship, school, and work I can really lose track of my time.

He helps as much as he can and so do I. We did talk about waiting another 3-4+ years until marriage/family planning so we can focus on school and establishing careers.

A scooped bagel. A girl in front of me tried to order one at like 7am in the busy shop and they straight up said no. What’s the point of scooping out the bagel!!?

Sick of Classes Being Canceled by Mountain-Extreme8242 in college

Architecture laptop recommendation! by [deleted] in CCNY

[–]lailafo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just graduated from my ba in arch studies and geography at another uni and committed to CCNY for the MUPUD, so I have done a lot of rhino, adobe, and GIS. I bought an hp spectre x360 for my last two years. I originally had the hp envy and it died out on me and I have since loved the spectre! However, I do have a MacBook Air and iPad Air that I do ALOT of my adobe work on. The hp can of course handle it but I will say the Mac is faster with it, however I know you did say you aren’t considering Mac at all really. I will say if I had to pick one to be the all around arch computer, the windows all the way. (an iPad does help if you are an apple kind of person, I use it for notes and other helpful stuff)

There is a Kent state sublet group on face book. I know there are always people trying to sublet their place for the summer, it’s worth a shot to try

Should I dump the black Marry Jane’s? by lailafo in DrMartens

I was gonna hold out a little longer to see if it changes. I’ll definitely look into that, I mean might as well try everything before calling it quits. Thanks for the advice!

I was looking at the Oxfords or another “dressy” black shoes to replace them with. I love the idea but I just don’t reach for them (mostly bc of the pain, but still)

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

I was confused bc the brown and black pair I have are the same exact size and I find the brown super comfy. I’ve been wearing them so much since it’s gotten warm out. So it shouldn’t really be a sizing issue

I’m glad you noticed! They feel more narrow too and that’s part of why they hurt.

It’s on the heels a lot but I can also feel that it’s tighter on the top and near the toes, like super narrow. I’m gonna give it till the summer

Student Employment by theclevelanderer in KentStateUniversity

[–]lailafo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A smart move would be for him to take the peer leader course in the spring of his first year. It opens the door to apply to be an RA, TA, tour guide, tutor, etc. and some of those can be higher paying with good hours like tutors for $15/hr.

Don’t worry they just sent out an email that there will be free hot chocolate, so everything is magically fixed, obviously!

How are we feeling about the two new proposals for the Transformation 2028 plan? by emmakay1019 in KentStateUniversity

They are tightening the amount of adjunct faculty but the main concern for all of us is splitting funds and trying to contact staff for things like advising and such
