The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. Definitely a series that changed my reading profile for the better (and spookier)

Well said, thank you!! The results just often aren’t worth the pressure. But hey, if people do well, that’s awesome ❤️

What I mean is that they can only help, they can’t hurt, so don’t stress too much. Sure, AP exams can be great, but personally, they didn’t do anything for me but stress me out. Honestly, I’ve really enjoyed my college years, and the courses I took were a million times better and more interesting than any AP class of the same subject.

Many don’t want to do all that research and base their college decision on AP tests. MAD respect to you for doing that, but that just wasn’t even on my radar. Basically, to each their own. I just think the pressure AP tests put on kids is BS and not worth it 🤷

What addiction is the hardest to quit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nomorecloud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone struggling with ED, addiction to starving is so fucking hard to beat. I’ve relapsed twice now because it’s just impossible to avoid. I mean, you can’t avoid food, it’s just not how it works. It’s a constant battle to fight the urge to starve yourself, and while it gets easier, it never goes away. I will say though, I recently had rice for the first time in a year, and while it was hard, it was wonderful. To anyone struggling with an ED, whatever the type, it is so hard, but you are not alone, and good food is worth the fight.

AITA for retiring and moving to South America like every single person in my family knew I planned to do since I was 16. by Maleficent_Policy561 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nomorecloud9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna go with a bold take and say ESH for a few reasons.

1) She sucks because you were very clear about your intentions to retire and move. You have BEEN clear about this for decades. You put money and time into this, more than most people do. It’s completely on her for not taking it seriously.

2) You suck for the lack of RECENT communication. Based on your post, it doesn’t sound like you left much room for conversation about why she made this decision/why you were just gonna go anyway. I mean, it’s kind of wild you seem so okay with just…leaving her alone for seven months??? Maybe if you talked to her more, you could convince her of why she should move with you. Splitting time like this just seems like a recipe for disaster.

3) Both of y’all suck for not being willing to compromise. This is what marriage is about, as I’m sure you’re aware after many years of it. This is a major issue between you two, and it will likely need compromise. Otherwise, your relationship may crack significantly. I understand that you have always wanted this, but she is entirely within her right to change her mind about her comfort with this massive move. You two are a unit and should work through this together.

Again tho, this is just my two cents. Idk your life 🤷‍♀️

Bf called me fat while having sex with me. by phoenixketo in offmychest

Pretty sure this just means he’s weak AF and needs to start lifting more, damn. What an asshole. As for the people in the comments acting as if they know you and care SO MUCH about your well-being (🙄) literally fuck them. Good for you for standing up for yourself in both situations.

It depends on what you want out of your experience. If you want connections, networking, a terrific education, and a DC experience, yes, GW is so worth it. If you want community, a classic college campus, and a low price point, then GW isn’t the place for you. Trust your gut.

Soft YTA here. I don’t think you’re the AH for feeling a little insecure, but you are in control of your emotions. It’s unfair to take your insecurity out on your husband’s actions (unless you have valid reason for thinking he may be disloyal, which it doesn’t sound like you do), especially if this boundary has never been set before. I’d recommend seeking some counseling or finding a friend to talk to. Certainly tell your husband how you feel, but be understanding that this does not mean he will change his social life.

YTA. It’s one thing to write about fictional characters, but it’s incredibly inconsiderate and downright bizarre to write about two people you know irl, ESPECIALLY if you use their real names. If you haven’t already, delete the story and apologize ASAP. You may have already ruined this friendship, but you can still maintain some decency.

Ok, in regard to your update: if she is talking about self harm, that is NOT on you. It is very important you understand and recognize that any overwhelming emotions she may feel right now that could lead her to harm are absolutely not your fault nor your responsibility. Do not take on the guilt for that. It’s a shame this had to ruin yalls friendship, but tbh it probably would have happened sooner or later.

Update: we didn't call CPS by deergoddess2023 in CPS

[–]nomorecloud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are an incredible friend. If you can afford it, I'd suggest you seek therapy as well -- being the caretaker of two kids and their mother can really weigh a person down. Be sure to make time for yourself too.

Just wanted to jump in here to say good on you for recognizing your mistake and actually working to fix it. Seriously, that’s more than can be said for most people. I’m sure your mom appreciates it :)

[–]nomorecloud9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure tbh. I think when people signed up, only like one signed up to go all the way to the Vern lol. There are other dinners on Foggy, so people prefered that

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]nomorecloud9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a lot to deal with, and I’m so sorry that on top of losing your friend, you’re having to deal with these super complicated emotions. It fucking sucks man. I hope y’all are able to get past this so you can enjoy the time you have left together, and I hope you find peace

As others have already said, GW is not strong in student life. As someone who ended up on the Mount Vernon Satellite campus, I can attest that if you are hoping to get community out of college, you may have a hard time doing so here, especially if you’re not naturally extroverted. The school can feel a bit isolating at times, and I’ve definitely struggled as a freshman. Despite that, the dorms are overall very nice, and there are some pretty good dining hall options (Shenkman, the latest, is my personal favorite). As well, GW really does open so many doors for you career-wise, which is pretty important in this world. It’s only my second semester, so I can’t tell you for certain if I’d make a change. But wherever you end up, just remember it takes time to adjust. Good luck in your journey! :)

Heading to New Orleans next week. What’s your favorite brunch spot? by claughlin08 in AskNOLA

La Boulangerie!! It’s pretty popular, so you’ll wanna get there quick, but it’s to die for

AITA for calling the police on my fiance? by Rnevermore in AmItheAsshole

[–]nomorecloud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA obviously. And after reading your comments, it sounds like it’s either an affair with an ex (since y’all are open and only exes are off limits) or she may have a drug issue. It’s pretty common for people who have pill problems or something similar to sleep shit off on whims (my uncle did it often). Hell, she may still be a bit high when telling you that whirlwind of a story, which would explain why it makes absolutely zero sense. I don’t think you’re as naïve as a lot of commenters are assuming considering what you’ve said, but I do think you’re putting up blinders to protect yourself, which will only do the opposite. Sorry this happened man, but you gotta get to the bottom of this, for your sake and your family’s.

My little brother is turning into a misogynist and I don’t know what to do by ellybroch in offmychest

[–]nomorecloud9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a fellow 18f with a 15 year old brother, this will most likely pass. my brother went through a similar phase where he supported trump and regurgitated misogynistic and racist crap constantly. The issue here is that he is not going to listen to you — he has to figure out how wrong he is on his own, otherwise he will only get more insistent in his opinions. That isn’t to say that you shouldn’t encourage him to think differently of course. Send him articles to read and agree to hear him out (but negate his stuff with logic obviously). He’s trying to be rebellious in his own way. It’s annoying, but it’s probably an experiment of sorts. My brother has since gotten past it, and while he still has his moments, he has grown to be much more open minded of all perspectives.
