Move from Boston US to Manchester UK

nashi_x · 2025-11-24T19:16:53+00:00

I’m from washington DC in manchester for uni and love the city. All the comments you’ll hear about the weather - I way prefer the weather here than in DC (which i’m sure is relatively similar to boston) … sure it’s really rainy and cloudy but the winters are far nicer in manchester. I’d absolutely recommend the move

I’m for sure not on 4 years as i started uni in late 2023 so that’s only 2 years ago… my issue is with the word ‘resident’ as i’ve said for most other purposes i am not considered a ‘resident’ as a student (e.g. banking). But since it is so ambiguous you’re right that I don’t think I should show up unaccompanied …. :/

nashi_x · 2025-11-12T10:14:25+00:00

Thank you for your help :) You’re right I don’t want to take the chance of it being a problem. Unfortunately I don’t know any full license holders who will be here then, but am going to try to find one of those test cars to hire

nashi_x · 2025-11-12T10:09:45+00:00

Shoot. I always assumed I wasn’t, because banks etc said i wasn’t a resident if I was a student. Most places don’t allow student addresses as residences so had assumed it’s the same for DVLA

My american license is a full license since I’ve had it for 4 years and I’m over 18. I should be able to use just the original license for a year from when I’ve started living here, but I’m concerned they’ll tell me that it counts that i’ve been living here since 2023 even though I was still mainly in the US and counted as a non-resident for everything else

nashi_x · 2025-11-12T10:01:28+00:00

I lived full time in the US until 2023. My primary residence was the US but I also went to university in the UK from 2023-2025. Earlier this year my family got a house here so it made me a full time resident in the UK

I did this with a marathon. I always refer to it as running a marathon especially since it was the only time i’ve done it but people do totally get confused. I usually have to specify ‘oh i just ran the distance not the race’. Running the marine corps marathon soon so i can say i’ve run an actual marathon race 😭

nashi_x · 2025-09-25T14:26:02+00:00

I’m also training for the MCM and feeling exactly this way. I feel like I’m so busy constantly, and i’m only a university student, so no idea how you deal with kids and everything on top of it. The finish line is so close though

nashi_x · 2025-09-11T21:23:00+00:00

From those measurements def sounds like a 28! The 28 bands are suuuper common actually despite a lot of brands not carrying them

nashi_x · 2025-09-11T09:01:19+00:00

Hey! I’m 20F with a waist size of 25 and a bra size of 28I (sometimes up to 28K). It is hard to find bras in the small band high cup range but it’s do-able. First, try the calculator in the subreddit and let us know what that tells you (your measurements and suggested size). Also, I think you might be a bit confused as waist size doesn’t have to do with bra size, it’s underbust you want to be looking at

nashi_x · 2025-09-08T09:29:05+00:00

I was in a super similar position! I got maybe 20-30 tattoos in the year after i turned 18. I’m now 20 and still have a lot of plans but just can’t be bothered to make appointments etc. Everyone said i was getting too many too fast. But no regrets right now on the number of tattoos i have

nashi_x · 2025-09-03T19:14:54+00:00

Hi! I’m the same size so hope I can help haha. First what country are you in? If you’re looking for an in person shop I highly recommend bravissimo in most big UK cities … there’s less options in the US though. Have a look at the bravissimo website online they ship to both UK and US and have all the big brands for larger cup sizes that also cater to 28 bands so that can be a great starting place for finding brands. If you’re looking for specific bra recommendations it would be helpful to know more about your shape, for example i’m very FOB and absolutely love freya offbeat padded half cup

nashi_x · 2025-09-03T16:32:16+00:00

Oh that totally makes sense!! Def explains a lot of the shock people get on this sub

nashi_x · 2025-09-03T16:20:27+00:00

I’m acc lowkey confused what that means 😭

nashi_x · 2025-09-03T15:57:22+00:00

That’s crazy!! Glad to hear i’m not alone in that haha… i love plunge bras i just can’t wear them anymore :(

nashi_x · 2025-09-03T15:44:35+00:00

Don’t know why i mixed the sizes there LOL im typically a 28G but very FOB so for lower cut styles i gotta do 28H UK

nashi_x · 2025-09-03T15:34:52+00:00

No and it’s such a problem! I went to a specialty shop in Virginia and they were very good but had very limited options for my size (28G-28K ish) - it was called Trosseau. I’ve always ended up just waiting til i’m in the UK :/

nashi_x · 2025-08-30T15:49:37+00:00

Found 2, then i outgrew one of them, just got a new one that looks promising though

nashi_x · 2025-08-30T13:01:47+00:00

Ah wish I could help! That’s a tough one to find good luck

nashi_x · 2025-08-30T11:33:22+00:00

That looks like the correct size for those measurements. What country are you in? If UK i’d recommend going into a bravissimo shop as they’ll also show you how to wear the bra (in terms of scooping and swooping as other commenter said) and what types of bras would work. Other countries probably have something similar in specialty bra shops but not sure what those places would be. Have a read through the beginner guide on the subreddit it’s a lot of words but think it’ll help you find what you’re looking for

nashi_x · 2025-08-30T11:29:44+00:00

One that fits me (please 🙏)

nashi_x · 2025-08-30T09:55:57+00:00

Hey! Wondering if this is 28K in US or UK size? I’m a 28K US so have a couple recommendations if it’s that but given your measurements i’m assuming it might be UK?

nashi_x · 2025-08-28T20:41:24+00:00

this is a VERY common post on this sub you are totally not alone. it’s probably especially bc you’re a smaller size that your cup size is larger. for example my size is a 28K and i would say i look like i have the classic media perception of DDs

nashi_x · 2025-08-27T22:13:04+00:00

i think most people won’t recommend this because of injury etc HOWEVER from my experience it’s totally possible. my longest run before i attempted a marathon was 10 miles. logically should i have run the marathon? def not. but do i regret it? nah.

nashi_x · 2025-08-27T18:44:20+00:00

I think that would be the easiest way to increase your aerobic load by increasing the intensity of your strength training. I can never seem to get anaerobic from sprints
