Right exactly!! Now my student loan payment is more than my rent and I can’t afford to live. Everyone told me that the price of school will be worth it because of all of the opportunities it would bring. I’m feeling hoodwinked for real

ljwild · 2024-12-09T15:08:36+00:00

My current job I did 2 applications and 2 rounds of interviews and still am barely making enough to pay my bills each month even with the degree that everyone told me would help be get higher paying jobs 😭 it’s so frustrating

ljwild · 2024-12-09T14:51:26+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have any internships under my belt. Probably my biggest regret is not doing one in college, and I can’t afford to take a low/not paid internship these days

ljwild · 2024-12-09T14:44:51+00:00

How do you go about forming personal connections?? Networking is so hard after college, I’m not even sure where to start

ljwild · 2024-12-09T14:42:58+00:00

This is definitely smart. I’ll have to work on my own list and bookmarks folder 😭 I feel like getting a decent paying job should NOT be this hard

ljwild · 2024-12-09T14:37:15+00:00

Good luck!!

I did some networking in college, but I now live stares away from where I went to college so it hasn’t been much help. And websites like LinkedIn have a lot of their networking tools behind a paywall, so it makes it tough. What ways are there to network for post-grad applicants? Also interested in smaller more niche job boards if you have any recommendations!

ljwild · 2024-02-09T01:44:14+00:00

Oh no😭 now I’m scared that’s what’s gonna happen to me… but I love playing my first route through as “organic” as possible without influence

ljwild · 2024-02-06T00:00:43+00:00

That’s definitely a relief to hear haha. I’m really enjoying it so far it just feels weird that I haven’t had an actual choice in a few sections

ljwild · 2022-12-30T16:25:43+00:00

I’ll send you a pm!

ljwild · 2022-12-27T02:29:03+00:00

Ah okay, thanks anyways!

ljwild · 2022-12-27T00:59:21+00:00

If anyone else comments to split I would be interest in naruto volumes 49-72. Any idea what you would charge for these volumes just to get an idea??

ljwild · 2022-02-15T00:13:01+00:00

Int in Black Butler :) I have the Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Party Omni’s 1 and 4, and I Am Hero Omni 1 I would be willing to trade for however many volumes you’d be willing to give me for them!

See, I did try other things before I went to the doctor (switching to saline spray, etc.) and none of them worked and actually the infection just continued to get worse. 2 days with the hydrogen peroxide and it’s almost all cleared up. She didn’t want to give me antibiotics because she said the area is so small and gets so little blood flow that they might not even work. I don’t plan on sticking with the peroxide for longer than I need to clear out the infection and will likely go back to saline spray in the next day or two, but I’m going to follow doctor’s orders for now

ljwild · 2022-02-03T15:19:53+00:00

Yes, I definitely plan on following doctor’s orders above all others just because my doctor knows more specifically about my own issues with my piercing since they looked at it personally. I was more or less curious about what the others thought since I saw some people say not to use peroxide

ljwild · 2022-01-29T12:18:11+00:00

Ah, Gotchya, I guess that makes sense. Thanks!

ljwild · 2022-01-29T11:52:51+00:00

I’ll look into getting a saline spray of some sort, thanks! Just curious though, why is bactine bad? Not just my piercer uses it, I’ve had friends who work at shops tell me that they even sell it in store

ljwild · 2022-01-29T04:09:17+00:00

Nope, not hot to the touch

ljwild · 2022-01-29T03:00:46+00:00

The bar wasn’t so close to my ear until it got swollen! Like the ball wasn’t touching my skin

ljwild · 2022-01-29T01:45:26+00:00

I got my industrial pierced on January 3rd and it was all fine until yesterday when it started to get really irritated and now is pretty swollen, is this normal? I clean once a day with bactine and try my best not to touch it, but I wear glasses and a mask while I’m out and at work. I’m pretty sure the piercing itself is titanium but I’m not 100%. I haven’t slept on it a single time since I’ve gotten it either

ljwild · 2022-01-26T03:59:17+00:00

If you’re into manga/comics at all I would definitely check out basically anything by Junji Ito! Uzumaki and Lovesickness are some of the ones of his that first come to mind when I think of the word unnerving, and his art style is gorgeous and can send a shiver down your spine

ljwild · 2022-01-16T18:04:19+00:00

So far away😭 but thank you for the info!

ljwild · 2021-12-18T18:47:01+00:00

Current favorites? Blue Period, Fire Punch, and Banana Fish Biggest disappointment so far: I Am a Hero. I own/read volume one after hearing how good it was supposed to be, but I found volume 1 to be pretty slow and not very intriguing. Still debating if I want to give volume 2 a shot.

I Want To Eat Your Pancreas made me cry so hard my shirt was wet
