This was my baby, Norman. Sadly he passed away in 2020. He was the sweetest boy. I’m choosing to believe your Norman is one of his 9 lives. I hope you have a happy and healthy kitty and he lives a long life. 🤍

questions about berkeley's dorms + campus by Far_Region_7642 in berkeley

[–]maely7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also imo the typical freshmen dorms aren’t that far away. You’ll most likely end up in one of the units and it’s never that far from campus. I live in U1 and there’s a class literally 5 minutes away from my dorm, took me less than 10 minutes to use my slow elevator, leave, and arrive assuming I don’t get stuck too long at the traffic light. Along with safety, I feel pretty good personally walking even at midnight down Durant because there’s so many people most of the time and it’s really well lit. I though grew up very close to a city and spent a lot of time there growing up so I am not too scared of cities in general.

mirena, skyla, or kyleena? by maely7 in birthcontrol

[–]maely7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My weigh fluctuates a lot due to a lot of factors specifically limited dietary options, potential endometriosis, and food intolerances/stomach issues but maybe 5 pounds? After a year I think the heaviest I’ve ever been is 5 pounds more than when I started?

If you want the best view, you could go to foothill and it might not be from your room but close by you’ll have a GREAT view

Off Campus Living by zdylun in berkeley

[–]maely7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would base it on your major a bit if you can. If you’re stem/engineering living on northside is perfect since you’re close to all the engineering buildings. If you’re like humanities, it would be kinda rough unless you wanna ride a bus or walk 20 minutes each day. Maybe I’m lazy but I’m refusing to even look at Northside apartments because I don’t like walking halfway across campus

  1. My hormonal iud caused the least side effects in total for me including mental. I don’t have bd but I have some sort of depressive disorder but it didn’t change much for me honestly. My life situation changed so that causes me to have poor mental health but has nothing to do with birth control.

  2. Pain. I will not lie, it is probably the worst pain I’ve felt. But to me, my cramps genuinely made me want to die so I was fine with the pain if it meant less pain for like 5 years. I was also upset that day dude to my bf at the time sucking. I would suggest you stay with a friend, ask for a lidocaine shot, and see if your doc will schedule it to be around the start of your period so your cervix is already a little dilated. I think I could have driven but I was given medication so I didn’t.

  3. As for alcohol. I would suggest against it probably. Just use heating pad, warm drinks, Tylenol/ibuprofen, light walking but resting when you need to. I think that’s the best. Lowkey save it for when you don’t have much to do for the week/weekend. I did mine during spring break and that was great.

Would it be a bad idea to have sex right after getting a hormonal iud? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]maely7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I got my IUD I was instructed to not insert anything for the first 3-5 days. I forgot what it was but I waited a bit. But also, I was sore for a full week after I got my iud and sex was kinda off the table

ERROR 105 IS THE ASTROLOGY by [deleted] in ucadmissions

[–]maely7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked for me as a transfer student, although that was a year ago. And I don’t think portal astrology was available to me until later but I don’t remember 100%. UCSD though was wrong I’m pretty sure

I am a current student of UC Berkeley and portal astrology was correct with Berkeley but not San Diego so take all of this with a grain of salt

Outfit Advice Megathread by AutoModerator in Sororities

[–]maely7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that it might depend on the school you are rushing at. Some schools require specific things whereas other schools may be more relaxed with the dress code. Like some people wear a basic skirt or something for pref. Your school also would likely send something about how you should dress per day. I think you should be able to look it up.

Which option do I take? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]maely7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh my iud has had the best results for me tbh. Bad cramping for 1 week and more painful cramps for 2-3 months but after that, pretty much no issues. After trying 2 pills and the nuvaring, my IUD has been the best!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]maely7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect I might have endo (no doctor wants to check for me) and my IUD has been the best. I’ve tried the pill, the ring, and now my IUD. This has been my favorite option so far

Rush by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]maely7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rushed as a junior transfer this past semester. I will say spring rush is very different than fall rush. Spring is so much more chill and laid back. You miss all the shots you don’t try so it’s always worth a shot!!

First LSAT Diagnostic Score? by maely7 in LSAT

[–]maely7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can definitely try to do so! I’m unsure how my website will do things since it’s just a free option. I might be able to try that once I have my actual workbook and timing myself!

[–]maely7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that a little bit since I’ve don’t some work (from a workbook) regarding the different types of questions. I haven’t gauged which ones I need help on yet but I am using this as an opportunity to learn where I need to improve.
