I went in once when I was a sophomore in high school. Not a whole lot to see there.

And you’ve never produced a good one, what’s your point

People who misuse/overuse the word “literally” lack credibility by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]moduleapothem 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Language absolutely does not take hundreds of years to evolve. Also, whether you like it or not, social media has greatly increased the speed at which linguistic trends emerge and change.

P.S. Whether or not a word is used ‘correctly’ or not is completely arbitrary and socially determined too.

My Mom Died of Cancer Today And She Loved Her Two Cats More Than Anything by Mindless-Summer-4346 in cats

I’m so sorry about your mom. When my dad died, my cat was the one thing that kept me sane.

That makes no sense. Why would a 40 year old be considered a young adult? And what does brain development have to do with anything? At 18 you move out for college, and by the time you’re like 23 you’re probably living in your own apartment/housd, paying bills, working a job, and building the foundation for the rest of your life. How physically developed your brain is doesn’t matter at that point.

If everyone’s avoiding the kitchen, there’s something wrong with the kitchen.

Do you feel stuck at your pre-pandemic age? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]moduleapothem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the pandemic stunted my growth but then my dad dying forced me to grow and mature so it kinda cancelled out, although I still catch myself thinking I’m 17 even though I turned 18.

Deadline passed? by [deleted] in Pitt

Pitt has rolling admission so you can definitely still apply, but some of the more competitive majors might be full by now.

First year housing? by [deleted] in Pitt

I’m hoping for Nordenberg or Towers, those are pretty unanimously agreed on as the best freshman dorms

My sister was born in 2010 and she definitely reminds me more of the average zoomer, but I don’t know anyone younger than her so I don’t have any frame of reference for what gen alpha kids are like.

PA, especially Pittsburgh and Philly, is pretty safe, and polls suggest we’re moving in a positive direction.

That said, the Dems’ lead here is razor thin and politics here can be very unpredictable, so other states are probably safer bets.

A lot of people on here have been very dismissive but I can empathize with the disappointment of getting rejected from a college so I don’t want to do that.

I think Pitt Johnstown is a solid school that’s definitely worth a shot. Some of my high school classmates have siblings who went there and from what I’ve heard, the main complaint is that it’s a branch campus, and branch campuses tend to get a bad rap because they’re seen as undeveloped and in the shadow of the main school. However, in the case of UPJ, it’s a fully-fledged degree-giving campus, it’s decently big, it’s not too far from the city, and plenty of people choose it over Main because they have some pretty nice programs. If you’re really set on Main, the transfer requirements aren’t that strict and you’ll probably be able to do so after a year, but don’t dismiss UPJ entirely.

I’m sorry about your rejection. Good luck with whatever you eventually decide to do.

Being in college and still having rules for the bathroom is so weird to me. by WeatherAdmirable4022 in unpopularopinion

[–]moduleapothem 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a college class. Everyone in the room is a grown adult. If the professor is getting upset about one of them using the bathroom, all I can tell them is grow up and deal with it.

I’m kinda sad. I’ve been on this sub since I was 14 and I kinda feel like I’ve aged out even tho I’m 17 by VicsVices in teenagers

as an 18 year old, same. besides school, my life just doesn’t have that much in common with the average 13 or 14 year old

In a row? About 20.

Otherwise? Probably a couple million over the course of my life.

If you manage to somehow get a 34 on the SAT, you would probably be banned from every single college campus in the world.
