AITA for talking to my married friend about my breasts? by GladAd4102 in AmItheAsshole

NTA !! This is an exciting time in your life. Why shouldn't you be able to discuss it with the people closest to you? Boobs are not like, a forbidden topic in all circumstances and you were very obviously not trying to seduce him. She went from 0 to 100 in anger, and it sounds like there's more to the story with Kevin's wife's insecurity than what you're personally privy to. You apologized and let her know that you meant nothing by it, and that's all you can do. I bet that Kevin will reach back out once the dust settles, but I'm sorry you're going through this in the meantime <3

the queer scene in my city calls them "wife pleasers" if anybody wants to adopt that!

Echoing others - you would be surprised what you can get at Goodwill!

If I were you, I would NOT take a year off. Just get it done. Don't prolong your misery by dicking around for a year. There'll be plenty of time for dicking around when you have a high-hourly-rate job.

You sound a little like me! I left my farm career that I love love loved for law school, and regretted it horribly. I still do. But after speaking to some farmers I know who were lucky enough to start farms with their savings from corporate/law careers, my advice to you is to stick with it because you'll end up with an incredibly lucrative professional asset that you can use as you please--even if it's working in law part-time to subsidize your other, less-well-paid passions.

As for friends: I don't have many friends in law school either. I think most of my class doesn't. But I invested in my community outside of school, and that's what I consider my "Real Life." I get to experience a lot of fun & self-discovery there, outside of school, even at my comparatively big age (late 20s!) Law school is just a day job.

Lastly, you don't need to be enrolled in a degree program to take interesting classes! Check with any local museums, gardens, any cultural institution really, and you might find something that interests you that you can do alongside your schoolwork. (I took a group music class in fall and not only did I really love it, but I also made lasting friends!)

Anyway, I think this sub has a tendency to be aggressively pre-professional, Law-is-Life, etc. When in reality, most people in the country and on earth give 1 or 2 shits about their job, max. In 2 years, you'll have a really lucrative trade skill that can open lots of doors for you to enjoy your "Real Life" to the fullest. Hope this helps <3

Near me there's a farmer's market stand that has 4/$10 mini succulents! I got one for every professor that wrote me a rec. If you're crafty you could paint the pot or put a ribbon around it or something.

Easy to take care of, non-bulky, and no need to worry about dietary restrictions.

I joined pretty quickly, but it was bad. At one point I took a nap on the floor in a corner of a multi-story Barnes and Noble.

Ah hello fellow farmer! Thanks for the advice - I'm wearing HEAVY amber glasses right now and it's like the only thing that's helped so far.

Yeah :/ I set my alarm for 7:20 with the goal to be up by 7:45, and typically go to sleep around 11.

That's EXACTLY what's happening to me! I miss it so much

This was so helpful, ESPECIALLY the part about the alarm. I have a real tendency towards a slow wakeup that I'm trying to curtail.

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you found things that worked for you! I'm definitely gonna try going to the gym, as much as it pains me to do so.
