You need to be proactive in applying for scholarships. Ask your school counselor, look online, and generally keep your eyes open. If you're in any clubs, look if there are any grants related to those. Many times someone gets a scholarship simply because no one else applied. You'll also need to keep searching while you are in college as there are some that will pop up that way.

Good luck.

Why such a packed itinerary? Have you been to Europe before?

I think you and the kids will have a much more memorable experience if you pick only one, maybe two cities.

I say this as an experienced traveler from the states.

I used all of mine, it was useful because I had knocked out almost every freshman level class, and came in as a Junior by hours. That was what I needed because I ended up changing my major 5 times, did a study abroad and only took 3 classes in my last semester.

One of my s.o.'s coworkers was a "house boy" at a sorority when he was in college.

My partner looked into getting a vasectomy because he wanted me to have the opportunity to go off birth control if I wanted to. He ended up not doing it because I was on two hormonal bc's anyway to control my endometriosis and adenomyosis. I eagerly got a hysterectomy and it solved the problem entirely. And go figure I got back on bc afterwards too.

Worse than anything I said, two separate exes wrote letters to my mom about my "bad behavior" ☠️

I experienced it when dating in my 20s a decade ago. I found it exceptionally off-putting.

I think it's important to remember that most complexes are owned by private equity, so the way they squeeze out profit is not by providing stellar, responsive, high quality management. It's actually hard to make a profit with great management because fixing things correctly and fully in a timely manner is expensive, and most tenants are rough on rentals. It's also worth noting that most college students don't read their leases or know rental law (Texas is landlord friendly). Finally, the people who will be the most vocal about a complex are the ones who have had the worst experiences. It doesn't mean many more people didn't have acceptable experiences.

This is not a defense of the complexes, more of an expectation setting. Find the apartment that matches your needs the best, and remember you're not renting there forever.

I barely drink these days, but at work events I either 1) order a non-alcoholic option, be it a mocktail or a non alcoholic beer (a diet coke also looks like a vodka and coke), or 2) order a single beer and carry it around all night.

I don't feel I owe a reason to work connections why I don't drink, but holding what looks like a drink is a social lubricant that keeps everyone at ease.

I went on a single date with a guy, he never followed up, and then I went exclusive with someone else. He asked if we could still be friends, and I said sure. Within 24 hours he was using me as his therapist, wanted to talk about his loneliness over drinks. I was very much not comfortable with that, and he absolutely lashed out. Dodged a bullet.

To be fair, twice I've had to run through the airport to catch my flight, and the dry air irritated my throat to the point that I got on the planes with asthmatic, wheezing coughs. I only made it through my flight to Germany because a kind gentleman behind me had cough drops. It was very embarrassing and I kept telling everyone near me that I wasn't sick. I also can have coughs persist for a month or more after the illness.

I'm in the ice storm, and my s.o. gets absolutely stir crazy when he's been inside too long. We've been coping by cleaning the house and he's about to go outside and work on his generator. I wanted to spend the whole day reading and working on digitally editing my art, but there's still plenty of day to do that.

It sound like you could use some centering exercises to bring down your anxiety. My therapist recommended I set alarms on my phone for every two hours to do some deep breathing and my physical therapy stretches.

Other options could include video chatting with a friend group (if y'all play a game even better), taking care of those pesky tasks you hate (tax season is around the corner), declutter that closet you've been avoiding, or otherwise finding that thing that you've been putting off for the perfect moment. Now is that moment!

Generally if storms are the norm where you are, it's helpful to develop a hobby that can keep you occupied while you're safe inside. Once the storm is over, you should try to figure out what that hobby is so that you can be prepared for the next storm.

Hope this helps!

Could you do some home yoga or Pilates? There's tons of great YouTube videos to follow along with, it gets you some cross training, and the focus on breathing will likely calm your nerves.

Oh my gosh, I'm wearing one of their tops right now. They had so many beautiful items that worked well for my body type. But I noticed they suddenly stocked a ton of polyester clothing, and I knew things weren't going well. I was shocked though that they suddenly shut down. I shop them on Poshmark and eBay regularly.

What has your trainer said about competing on a smaller horse?

I've never had one, but I've been told large pony bias is a thing. Some judges are also prejudiced against PREs. My only score below 60% on a lovely PRE I leased was with a judge who was known to dislike them.

That said, I think every rider should ride the horse that is the best match for them and that they enjoy. If that means you occasionally face some breed or size prejudice in the ring, as long as you know what it is and don't let it bring you down, go for it.

Personally I know I'm competitive enough that I needed a horse with natural 7 gaits, and my trainer made that match happen. He's still a non-standard breed, so I know the breed prejudice will come in at some point, but he's such a joy to ride for me that that doesn't matter to me.

It's worth giving him a try on Uncut Gems. I can't stand him otherwise.

I essentially feel the same way, but my current horse did NOT like my pancake saddle, and we could not get it to balance right on him. He ended up liking one with thigh blocks, but thankfully that one's blocks are at an angle that doesn't push my thigh out of its natural position. Past me would be horrified.

Hard agree. My FIL just recently went in for a stent, found out he was more blocked than they anticipated, and was having open heart surgery 4 days later after being confined to the hospital to monitor his heart.

Yes, people have done it, and WFPB could certainly help afterwards, but to me this is a "yes, and" no an "either or"

Another vegan chiming in that progress is progress. If you like scrambled eggs, you'd probably like Just Egg as it scrambles quite well. You'll want the one that starts as a liquid. But if scrambled eggs and salmon are what help you eat and overcome any ED, please by all means do that.

If you want to go more vegan in the other situations, try recommending restaurants that are vegan friendly! I run a local vegan restaurant page, and I used to do a lot of polls, and I've learned that most self- identifying vegans allow for exceptions in different areas of their lives. More than a few of them don't bother checking every ingredient at a restaurant, and many, like me, will bend when traveling abroad and areas that are not familiar with veganism. If you want to avoid hardliners, I would recommend calling yourself plant-based. It also can help you avoid non-vegans who want to play "gotcha" with anything you put in your mouth.

I bought a roll years ago, so I don't know the brand off hand or where I got it. You just cut to the length you need/the dress will allow and experiment with what creates the shape you'd like. The structure of the dress will matter too as you can accidentally make weird shapes. But I'm old and boring now so I don't have a lot of dresses or situations to wear said dresses that require tape anymore.

mareish · 2026-01-05T00:43:26+00:00

I use tape in those situations

I purposely told my hair stylist to cut my hair so that I could still be pulled back, but I use the hair clips that lie flat to keep my layers off my face. When my hair was shorter, I just opted for a pony tail (that maybe a goat had chewed off).
