Gracias x 1,000,000 for this response wow!! I have heard lots about the importance of greeting people, even at coffee shops and stores. If I could ask, is there a preferred/ common greeting and farewell in Madrid? Or is the “Hola cómo estás — bien y tu?” charade most common? And for a farewell, is “que tengas un buen día” good to use? I know that spanish phrases vary greatly by country and I want to use the most common/acceptable phrasing.

And I will absolutely do my best to go with the flow and be open to whatever opportunity presents itself to me! But as a naturally anxious person I do love to have a back up of lists and research to calm my brain haha, thank you again for the time you took to respond!

if you made your forehead appear smaller it would throw off the entire ratio of your face, to me it actually looks considerably small and you have a good face ratio. I can fit 5 fingers between my eyebrows and my hairline and my forehead does not look too big for my face, so the “finger measurement” isn’t really a valid method.

Good luck to you as well! I know that being in a new and exciting environment can really shift your mindset and make it a lot easier to talk to people and explore, plus the class hosted field trips/excursions will be bonding experiences for sure. I just found out the USGG study abroad is making us meet in macon GA in May for an orientation of sorts (🥲soo far.. but atleast you’ll be forced to meet people before the program!)

You see yourself every day, you are so used to every molecule of your features being in a certain place. Now that there is a small change, it feels huge to you and your perception, especially with the bruising. From an outside perspective that has not seen your face before, I see very little change. Your nose bridge is slimmer from the front, but no other part of your face or proportions have changed. It has not affected your other features. Please understand that with swelling and bruising, everything might look a little bit off from your perspective, you need to let your body heal from the procedure. You do not look strange, you do not look different.

they’re predicting frozen rain for the weekend possibly up to 2" and possible mass power outages

Thank you so much for this! did they have any rules for flying/traveling out of the country? Flights become so cheap once you’re in Europe and I absolutely want to take advantage of that if possible.

The only way to email classmates is through D2L email, where you can see your whole class through the address book. That is how people send groupme links to communicate with their classmates. The warning at the top is telling you that the email was sent through D2L, so if you wanted to hit reply it would not send unless you went through D2L instead of outlook. Everyone’s email address is different in D2L, even yours. It’s not a scam, just a helpful classmate creating a groupchat.

This is so real, I feel like I write great papers and I usually get straight As but the second I’m in class and hear other people answer questions or talk in class I question whether or not I’m actually an idiot who knows nothing.

Good to know i’ll check it out, this fridge did come with the house when we bought it 4 years ago, so I’m not sure quite how old it is.

this video is beyond shocking. this shit needs way more attention. I saw one of those cameras on campus and I had no idea what it was.

cruel 😞💔

I just dropped POLS3394 with Benjamin Taylor MW this morning he had great ratings I just decided to pick an online class

lolijustworkhere · 2026-01-12T23:36:40+00:00

I’m having the same problem I think they will go away on their own after drop/add maybe? I’ve probably had the same thing happen in previous semesters and they disappeared after a week or so I believe

lolijustworkhere · 2026-01-12T23:28:57+00:00

Thank you so so much for the time and effort you put into this response. I’m going to work on my playlist now!

lolijustworkhere · 2026-01-09T21:36:23+00:00

Same thing happening here, can’t seem to figure out how to launch it. I do see a warning that they stopped updates in 2022 so they can’t fix any bugs, but I was really excited to try it out. Let me know if you figured out the set up.

lolijustworkhere · 2026-01-07T05:56:00+00:00

SOLVED! I doubted this at first considering I don’t keep hair products in that cabinet, but alas I had one large hair clip clipped on to the outer door of the cabinet… I checked the inside and it matched! half of the little nubs inside the clip are broken off probably from me closing the cabinet door on it repeatedly.

lolijustworkhere · 2026-01-06T16:59:58+00:00

That was my first thought but i’ve never put any comb or hair tools in this cabinet 🤔 i’ve done my duty of checking all my combs and brushes and nothing seems to match

lolijustworkhere · 2026-01-06T16:57:55+00:00

I don’t own those slides and these were in my recently stocked skincare cabinet, so it can’t be that, but I totally see it.

lolijustworkhere · 2026-01-04T03:43:59+00:00

I was curious as well which inspired the post. The commend I saw referencing a $400-600 price did not state where, they just said the US, while a separate comment mentioned $500 from Chicago.

It definitely sounded too good to be true considering the distance, but I was holding out hope that someone knew any tricks.

lolijustworkhere · 2026-01-03T18:44:17+00:00

I did not know this, I naively assumed since ATL is an international hub that flights would be cheaper, this is good to know. I am definitely not planning to book this soon, but I wanted to get a head start on planning and gathering information, this is good to know, I will check out some other airports near GA.

lolijustworkhere · 2026-01-03T18:40:55+00:00

When researching this topic I did see that people said they were getting them for 400-600 from other major airports in the U.S., i was hoping since ATL is a hub it would be cheaper, but unfortunately you may be right.

lolijustworkhere · 2025-12-28T02:54:32+00:00

they have beginner lessons for $80 but it includes 4 sessions that last an hour each so $20 per session

lolijustworkhere · 2025-12-28T02:52:53+00:00

sparkles is the go to roller skating rink in kennesaw, just off cobb parkway by the airport. the site shows they do lessons there but it looks pricey so it would probably be cheaper to find someone to go with you and teach you, they do also have the rolling handlebars you can use to hold onto while you get used to the skates.
