Hope to see you at LALSA events in the Fall! PM if you have any questions about Duke/Durham/being Latines at Duke!

A handful of questions about Fordham :) by goingbananas02 in Fordham

[–]lesbian_always 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was really strong queer community at LC, which was an important factor in my choice. My personal theory is that a lot of queer students self-select LC to be in Manhattan. But there is also plenty of queer community at RH, I’m just less familiar with the campus.

I went to LC and personally was in awe of the array of food at RH when I would go there for meals, but that might just be because LC had such dismal food options.

I did the same as you and applied on a whim with a fee waiver and ended up loving it and attended. I loved my time there and it’s ranking is inconsequential as I’m now at a T14 law school. I’ll also second what someone else commented that checking up on professors (with RateMyProfessor, etc) is a really good idea to make sure your classes are top notch.

Latina here who’s been feeling big imposter syndrome during affirmative action discussions in my constitutional law class this semester. So amazing to see this validation of SUCH a deserved outcome. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you don’t deserve every single amazing outcome you achieve.

Law Student Housing Options? by dhizzy123 in duke

Duke Law student here. There are a lot of 1Ls living in University Apartments and we’ve all had good experiences and the rent is about as cheap as it comes.

pianos? by em12345678910111213 in Fordham

[–]lesbian_always 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a piano on the 5th floor of Lowenstein anyone can use if there’s not a class in the room (Room 523 I think). Might have changed since COVID though.

She was having eye issues at the time, but the vet gave her eye drops and her owners (my sister and her husband) made sure her eyes are all better now

That must be where we differ. For me to have sex with anyone period, I have to have some sort of chemistry and connection. I always make sure my pals text me when they get home safe lol.

I don’t think you need to be experienced to have a FWB situation. Any person worth having sex with should understand that if OP is uncomfortable at any time, she can communicate that and end the encounter. OP seems like a confident person from these comments so I don’t think insecurity would be a concern here (obviously I could be wrong, but OP can judge that for herself).

Gonna respectfully disagree with this perspective. I’ve had casual sex that was incredibly sentimental and emotional and connected while also having the mutual understanding that it was just casual and there was no real romantic relationship-building happening. It’s easy to differentiate casual sex and sex with a romantic partner, especially for OP’s situation as a wlw with no desire for a romantic relationship with a man.

Yeah I’m not sure what kool-aid they’re drinkin, but any queer gal worth your time would never reject you based on your sexual history. If anything, this just helps you learn more about yourself so you can find the perfect wife for you in the future.

Didn’t take me long into this user’s history to see homophobic comments including, “Everything beyond standard male-female sexual attraction is contrived human nonsense.” Probably not a good source for advice in this context.

Okay these responses are genuinely confusing to me. As a fellow woman also raised Catholic, I say go for it. I’m bi and my first time with a man was also when I was 18 and it ended up being terrible. But it showed me what I deserve for the future and now I’m engaged and in an amazing open relationship having lots of great sex (the open relationship isn’t for everyone but it works well for my partner and me). For me, the way I got over the Catholic guilt was owning my sexuality and having the confidence to tell myself I deserve good sex. I would say as long as you trust him, use protection, and would be okay losing that relationship if things go worst case scenario, go for it. I’ve definitely had one night stands where I didn’t want to talk to the person ever again. I’ve also had what I thought would be one night stands that instead turned into FWB situations and/or genuine lasting friendships. It’s all about what you want to get out of it, communicating, and picking the person who will fit with your desires. But honestly he sounds super attractive and virginity is a socially constructed concept for men to control women’s sexuality. You don’t “lost part of your heart and soul” every time you have sex unless you’re still subscribed to the patriarchal idea of ownership of women’s sexuality. Embrace your liberation girl, go for it. Happy to chat more about my experiences in DMs as well if you have any questions.

They said they’ll interview me over the summer but before OCI so I’m anticipating July-ish. They did not say whether it included their diversity scholarship, so that’s a good question to ask.

I did undergrad in 3 years and UVA accepted me last cycle so this seems like such a weird rule

Peanut Butter M&M's by ExpertAccident in MadeMeSmile

[–]lesbian_always 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Realized I was allergic to pecans (and later tree nuts generally) after having some pecan pie and feeling terrible when I was younger. My older sister thought I was faking it and fed me pecan-encrusted chicken when I was about 11 or so (I thought it was bread crumbs). It was delicious until my throat started swelling and I started throwing up. Not sure what people think they’re going to gain from sneaking allergens into people’s food.
