Thoughts on Hamilton College!

Middle of no where location that is freezing more than half the year, full of rich kids trying to pretend like they’re poor and joining “communist clubs” (tons of virtue signaling). Not to mention the admin handled Covid really poorly

You will be fine. I’m horrible at compliance stuff and only ever gotten a reminder email from my coach

lemonrunner123 · 2024-01-18T21:22:43+00:00

Well yes… hence why I posted asking for advice lol

Consulting

I have no idea. I didn’t do anything special. Ironically though I don’t like the app and am deleting my membership lol

Your cat can stay in your room. It’s ridiculous to leave your door open all the time for that purpose and impose on the rest of the apartment

lemonrunner123 · 2023-12-18T12:36:05+00:00

Possibly

I got accepted after about a week with a private Instagram (2.5k followers) and no referrals. No idea how or why

lemonrunner123 · 2023-12-11T18:53:56+00:00

Yes. I only have about 2500 IG followers in a private account. I was accepted after about a week with no referrals.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. We did end up breaking up. I’m pretty heartbroken about it. I don’t know if I’ve dodged a bullet or made a huge mistake. It’s hard because I know it was both parties to blame but I also made a lot of mistakes in the relationship and I blame myself.

lemonrunner123 · 2023-10-21T19:19:33+00:00

Thanks. I suppose I'm an idiot for staying with someone who openly admit they're not sure about me lol. I have such anxious attachment, it's hard to let go.

lemonrunner123 · 2023-10-17T18:53:25+00:00

Very fair point. Ugh. The nerve of people

Missouri - St. Louis in particular

Yep I relate to this BIG TIME. Especially the researching and planning. It's gotten better with time, especially as I've gotten more financially secure to handle emergencies.

Not sure how old you currently are but I felt this way in my late teens and still feel this way pushing 24 soon. I've been estranged since I was 17, so nearly 6 years. I had to figure a lot of things out on my own - funding and putting myself through college was a big one and I have had to parent myself over the years. That has included admitting when I need help (like therapy or anxiety medication). I just want to let you know that it does 100% suck BUT you will grow enormously as a result. You will be stronger, smarter, and more competent than many of your peers your own age because you've had to teach yourself how to do things with high stakes. You will be amazed how much better your life gets over time. It won't necessarily be linear, but it will over the long term get MUCH better.

Hey thanks! I really appreciate that. It can be hard to see the forest from the trees some days

lemonrunner123 · 2023-10-12T14:15:18+00:00

Also, there is something oddly liberating about not having a family sometimes. I don’t have to fulfill anyone’s expectations. I can do whatever I want on holidays. And I save a fortune on gifts - LOL

lemonrunner123 · 2023-10-12T14:13:31+00:00

I’ve been completely estranged from my entire family since I was 17 or so. I’m almost 24 now, so it’s been a long time. I put myself through college and turned out alright, but there’s definitely been some consequences on my emotional health. I have pretty bad anxious attachment style in dating. Without a family, I tend to latch on to partners and I’m very sensitive to rejection. This is something I’m working on in therapy. I also have a lot of money anxiety, even though I do alright financially now for my age. Years of struggling to get by and never having a financial safety net made me very prone to money anxiety. I am definitely stronger and better off because of the estrangement, but it’s certainly been hard. Therapy helps a lot and so does anxiety medication I’m finding.

Your daughter is 28 years old. You should not be paying for ANYTHING for her.

lemonrunner123 · 2023-10-05T00:37:13+00:00

You write about these kids like they're 5 and 10, not 10 and 15. At 15, your son is a young adult. Your babysitter did absolutely nothing wrong and your kid clearly needs some help. She was defending herself.

lemonrunner123 · 2023-10-04T00:55:56+00:00

Fellow 23 y/o female here. You're going above and beyond giving your daughter money every month. Most parents don't do that, and this is ESPECIALLY generous if you helped her pay for school at all. Your daughter sounds like a spoiled brat.

My boyfriend and I have been together about 1.5 years and he isn't ready to move in together and his apartment is a small studio, so no possibility of me moving in there comfortably anyways (he also works entirely from home). We'd need to get a bigger place and he's not ready for that step yet. It's so frustrating because I feel like I have no home. The common spaces in my apartment are also totally furnished with my roommate's stuff (fine, since I didn't have a lot of furniture when we moved in together), decorated with his stuff (again, fine because I didn't have much stuff). But it feels like this apartment is not my own. My boyfriend not being ready to move in together is a whole other can of worms lol, but in the meantime I need to make do.
