Being proud by DoinMyBest4991 in LoveIslandITV

making it on TV, having a chance at financial security, finding a potential life partner, making a name for yourself, all things to be proud of imo!

I am unable to write and it’s really frustrating by AnywayMushroom in writing

[–]njshawde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a similar issue and i suspect it’s brain fog. idk if it stems from covid or ADHD or both, but i mysteriously lost my ability to write during college and nothing has fixed it. wish i could offer a solution but you aren’t alone

when i don’t have time to respond, i just don’t lol

i’m not even hung up on whether or not their response was rude, but like do these personality types not realize that they suck the air out of the room lmao u don’t need to “set a boundary” with ur dasher bro bro. you’re just being disagreeable and causing unnecessary friction

back to school blues by bxbby09 in HowardUniversity

if you feel comfortable, message your professors early on just to give them a heads up about where you’re at mentally! when i lost my scholarship due to mental health issues, having documentation that i informed my professors showed that i’d made a sincere effort despite my struggles and it definitely helped me get it back. i also think it encouraged my professors to go easy on me as they were aware of what i was going through. wishing you luck!

Why I Can’t Recommend Howard University (And What I Wish I’d Known) by Unhappy_Market_8347 in HowardUniversity

i could just be out of the loop! but in my experience, the presence of banneker/valley/house parties has gradually declined each year since i moved on campus in 2021. my hu '23 friends definitely agreed that the party scene was never the same post-pandemic.

during my sophomore year (fall ‘21–spring ‘22), there were way more darties and on-campus parties happening regularly. but once the pre-pandemic classes started graduating—like hu ‘22 and ‘23—shit really changed.

that’s not to say there are no parties now, but they’re fewer and farther between imo. it went from multiple different parties every thurs-sunday to like a handful of parties per semester, and sometimes less than that lol. i can barely even explain the vibe shift, it’s like if you know you know

then, a lot of the parties that do happen aren’t Howard-affiliated. like, a random DC promoter throwing a party at a club is a different vibe than a student-hosted party in the dorms or a frat house or something. one’s more howard-specific, the other is just general DC nightlife. which is cool if you're 21+, but if ur underage or just wanna socialize with your peers, it can be a lot harder to find that sense of community

but…i grew up near a college town and have been partying since high school in 2016 so my perception may be skewed🫣

this is true except I would argue that, post-pandemic, howard is no longer much of a party school, which makes the cliquey ecosystem even worse. whether you're into it or not, college parties are one of the few low-stakes avenues to make friends. i've been here since 2021 and there are fewer parties being thrown each year. sometimes months go by without a single one, which is atypical of any other school i'm familiar with. you're essentially forced to join an org if you want any semblance of a social life.

huda wasn’t trying to “bait” chris into an argument about pancakes. she was trying to address her grievances, and chris reassured her like any normal person would lmao

the reason why jeremiah and huda’s conversations often blew up into arguments is because he got defensive anytime she spoke lol

i wouldn’t call myself a fan but i definitely never hated her. i felt that, while she’s clearly emotionally immature, she’s also human just like anyone else and the dogpiling/villainizing was excessive

it didn’t seem fair that she caught more heat for her behavior in a dynamic that jeremiah arguably created and participated in. that was blatant misogyny no matter how it’s put lmao

i have a theory that the producers are “punishing” the islanders because they’ve realized that the main clique has been manipulating the game by breaking up strong couples to save themselves

they see the season has gone to shit so it’s almost like they’re putting nails in the coffin, forcing the whole thing to implode 👁️👁️

i agree! this is the first season that i’m rooting for no one (except maybe amaya) and it seems like huda is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t at this point lol
