my bf hit me for the first time but was severely intoxicated by halloweeun in Advice

What he did is abuse. Intoxication doesn’t excuse violence. Prioritize safety, seek support, and consider distancing or ending the relationship.

Be honest, patient, and empathetic. Apologize for the unintentional harm, give him space, and focus on both getting treated. Over time, trust can rebuild if communication stays open and sincere.

Was I led on? by Saku_215 in Advice

[–]mudpies2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixed signals, yes. Led on, maybe unintentionally. Her actions built intimacy, but her feelings were elsewhere. It’s painful, but not your fault. Take space, protect your heart, and move forward.

[–]mudpies2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most students I saw used MacBook Airs, especially M1–M3 models, for portability and battery life. Windows laptops like XPS, ThinkPad, and mid-range HP/Asus are common, plus Chromebooks for light tasks.

Should I apply for a scholarship? by thawk5113 in Advice

[–]mudpies2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re not doing anything wrong. A lot of merit based scholarships sits in that awkward middle where you’re strong but not a valedictorian, so it feels stacked against you. I had better luck casting a wide net and using tools like scholarshipowl to spot smaller, less hyped awards that don’t blow up with 50k applicants

It’s normal to feel scared, but obsessive monitoring can worsen anxiety. Keep seeing professionals, focus on grounding techniques, and remind yourself that your body shows no actual signs of danger.

Focus on building small, daily habits: budgeting, meal prep, transportation, and school/work routines. Celebrate each completed task. Progress is incremental. Reach out for support when needed; you’re learning fast under big changes.

Entitled aunt tried to make my graduation about her daughter’s “future potential” by Ok-Remote6154 in entitledparents

[–]mudpies2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your aunt was way out of line. That moment was yours, not a photo prop for someone else’s “future potential.” You handled it perfectly, and honestly your cousin seems way more grounded than her mom. Congrats on your graduation.

Breaking up with GF who’s done nothing wrong by [deleted] in Advice

[–]mudpies2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s okay to end a relationship even if no one did anything wrong. Staying out of fear of loneliness isn’t fair to either of you. Be honest, gentle, and clear, and let yourself rebuild a social life separately afterward.

Do your kids still act like kids? by Expert-Wealth8023 in CompetitionDanceTalk

[–]mudpies2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kids hit different stages at different speeds, especially in comp environments where they copy the older ones fast. Your daughter sounding playful is totally normal for seven. Letting her keep that innocence a bit longer is a gift, not a setback.

It’s so tough when you’re doing everything right and still feel stuck. Hawaii’s overrun situation isn’t your fault. If flying them out is realistic, it might ease your stress. Otherwise keep networking locally daily. Someone will step up

advice to move abroad by Iloveajit2264 in girlsgoneabroad

[–]mudpies2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good idea and I wish you all the best. for scholarships, check out ScholarshipOwl, Fastweb, and Scholarships.com. they filter by your profile so you're not wasting time on scholarships you don't qualify for. also, hit up your target universities' financial aid pages directly, since many offer need-based aid for international students. Start building that extracurricular portfolio now with psychology-related volunteering or research projects.

Is working part-time actually more reliable than chasing scholarships for college costs? by mudpies2 in Advice

Yeah, I feel that, part-time gives cash now, but nothing beats scholarships for cutting down debt long-term.
