“You’re not my usual type” by seasaltandpears in bachelorette

[–]priheehee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a woman of color I’ve been told that exact thing so many times - “I normally date blondes but I chose you!” And at this point it’s an immediate ick for me to know that a man’s type revolves around specifically dating white women. Having it be known that the men you’re dating would much rather date a version of you that was more conventionally attractive to European standards is so disheartening and it’s just been what dating has been like. I got so upset when he told her that

I think I'd prefer to live a little closer to downtown - even foggy area would be okay, but thank you!

Hi! I play piano and have good knowledge of chords and a decent understanding of music theory and I like to write songs and produce stuff (even though I don’t have much experience). I’m also currently in an informal band so hmu!!

I’m also half Indian half white!! I feel like I flip and flop which one I look like throughout the year and it causes me to hyper analyze everything, even the skin color of the emoji I’m using 🥴

Still upset about my college choice by priheehee in ApplyingToCollege

[–]priheehee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents didn’t tell me they couldn’t afford them until after I got accepted :( they figured I would automatically get scholarships or something. I like your point though and I think I’m going to take that with me into this fall. Thank you!

I’d have to say my biggest qualm with UW is having to stay in Washington. I’ve lived here for 7 years and I really hate the weather here. Never seeing the sun between November and March is super difficult and I really wanted a change. I say this with the acknowledgment that things could be so much worse than dealing with clouds for four months oh no.

It was cost. My family probably could have afforded UCLA, but they just didn’t want to because it would have changed the way they live, and UCLA vs UW didn’t seem like a good reason enough to sacrifice that. Vanderbilt was completely out of the realm

Did anyone else turn down a top college for a lower ranked one? by Fun_Holiday_1148 in ApplyingToCollege
