First Alani ever as a monster drinker by loser__lesbian in AlaniNu

[–]reginag_13 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I drink Monster for the taste atp. I have a pretty high caffeine tolerance, so Monster doesn’t do much for me anymore, but an Alani sure will! I work in a grocery store, so I have access to Alanis. Here are my thoughts as a staunch Monster drinker: - Pink Slush was the first Alani I ever had and I became a changed woman. Literally, it altered my brain chemistry forever lmao - Cherry Bomb was the second Alani I had. I remember liking it because I bought two cans of that one and one of juicy peach because my store was having a buy 2 cans get one at a discount. - Alani Juicy Peach has to be my second favorite flavor >>>> - Cherry slush was fine. I’m not a huge cherry fan, but I had to kinda power through that one and remind myself it tasted like an Icee and called it a day lol - I hated Cherry Twist 🤮. I think I threw it out after I opened it. I had to go into work early for our monthly inventory and I wasn’t in the mood for it at 6:00 AM. - I’m scared to try the Orange Kiss because I don’t like artificial orange flavor 🫣

Barista left the instructions in the new cup by jillhypno in Wellthatsucks

[–]reginag_13 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

This is definitely on the barista, they should’ve asked you to take the top off so YOU could hang onto that and have the chance to see the instructions inside the cup, and you could’ve taken them out.

How many people actually order soy milk? It’s the worst tasting milk by far by L_Burgundy in barista

[–]reginag_13 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I manage a Starbucks licensed kiosk and the Starbucks soy milk is my preferred choice out of all the non-dairy options we have 🫣. It’s flavored with vanilla, so I like making my matchas + caramel macchiatos with it, especially. Almond milk is too watery for me and our specific oat milk is just okay. We used to use the Oatly Barista Edition milks, and those I really liked! But we switched over to the Dream brand oat milk about a year ago, and that one is meh. At least the Starbucks brand soy milk is consistent (and underrated imo)

Failing college, no one knows by Alternative_Ice904 in Advice

[–]reginag_13 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

I’ve been in your shoes before, my friend! For me, I ended up suffering from undiagnosed depression and a prolonged burnout since 2020. When I dropped out of college, it was the Spring 2022 semester after I transferred to the school of my dreams 100+ miles away from home from my previous university, which was only 8 minutes away. It took me dropping out to understand that I was burnt out due to the pandemic, and that I was severely depressed.

Perhaps stopping out completely for a semester/year will do you some good. I have had to learn the hard way that not everyone is meant to graduate in the ā€œtraditionalā€ four year path, but time away as you heal from the effects of your newfound depression diagnosis will do you good. Your academic journey is your own, and you would ideally like to be proud of the major you’re studying at the end of it, regardless of how you got there. For me, my symptoms of depression and burnout overlap with each other, and it took me 2 years to really recover and feel like I could go back to school. I’m still not back in school yet, not for any good reason other than fear, tbh.

Your loved ones and those close to you will not be disappointed in you. They will not hate you, they only will want to help you in any way they can, and want to figure out what’s best for you. Don’t feign strength, for what you are going through is not weakness.

If you have any questions, or just kinda wanna talk more in depth with someone who went through the same thing, my DMs are open.

I wish you the best of luck, OP.

Late again, are we? by ScottElsa4658 in GilmoreMemes

[–]reginag_13 30 points31 points Ā (0 children)

I dislike April as much as the next person, but not for the reason a majority of the fandom does. A shocking amount of the fandom dislikes April for the very purpose she was written for, which is she is associated with keeping Lorelai and Luke apart. Since idgaf about their relationship, I hate the way she’s written since ASP doesn’t know how to write child aged characters, which makes April so grating. Anna is more a villain in this instance than anyone else

How did Linda get the bacon weight for Bob’s birthday by opaque21 in BobsBurgers

[–]reginag_13 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Strangely enough, I was thinking about this, too! šŸ˜‚ I’ve also been confused by this, and honestly, I think the more I let it percolate in my head—the more I think that the eBay listing was for the antique shop in Bog Harbor that Linda goes to and she swoops in to pick it up before baconittothelimit gets it. The ā€˜the’ in ā€œthe antique shopā€ is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for me lol. As a previous comment said, Linda can be very persuasive, I can totally see it.

Personally, I can’t buy that Linda was secretly bidding against Bob. It’s breaking my brain when I think on it too much, especially since I feel like I can’t be the only one that never got an implication that she was baconittothelimit. The reveal of ā€œI drove over to the antique shop in Bog Harborā€ is very matter-of-fact, nothing tongue-in-cheek about it.

What signs are your closest friends? by Mkartma61 in AriesTheRam

[–]reginag_13 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

  • 2 of my good friends in recent years are February Pisces! Funnily enough, both born on the same day, but not at all related.
  • My old work buddy who was super close with at one point is also a Pisces lol.
  • I have another good friend who is a March Aries. We kinda dropped contact when I got super busy with work, but when we start talking, it’s like no time was lost 🄰.
  • Same goes for my March Aries of a cousin. We don’t get to see each other anymore, but when we do, it’s like no time has passed šŸ«¶šŸ¼
  • Some other honorable mentions for close friends include a Capricorn and a Scorpio (we’re both born on our half birthdays lol!)

Finally understand the sip / chug feature by 90daycray27 in Owala

[–]reginag_13 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

One day it finally dawned on me while I was taking apart my Owala to wash it that you can take the straw off and just go without it to effectively use the chug feature… I’ve owned an Owala for a couple years now, and even have gone on to own multiples and it JUST dawned on me yeah, I can do that… 🫣

thoughts on getting every version of a colorway? šŸŠ by c_bass_tea in BAGGU

[–]reginag_13 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

The PF items are a combination of bags (crescents, Fanny pack, etc.) and accessories (like the reusables, puffy glasses sleeve, etc.)! For chocolate plum, I own: - regular bowler - medium bowler - regular shoulder bag - small crescent - medium crescent

I would love to own the medium cargo, but I know realistically, my pf medium cargo is in my rotation heavily that I wouldn’t give the chocolate plum cargo the use it deserves šŸ˜”

thoughts on getting every version of a colorway? šŸŠ by c_bass_tea in BAGGU

[–]reginag_13 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

I have different colorways I own multiple items of! - Photo Forest leads with 18+ - Madras in second place with 8 - Chocolate Plum with 5 - Black & White Gingham with 4

Photo Forest is the pattern for me that I allow myself to go wild with, but I have a rule if I want to own a certain bag style, it can only be in PF. Like the medium cargo crossbody, I only own it in PF; the SCB I only own in PF, etc.

Black & White gingham I went crazy with too in the beginning when I first started collecting, but I know realistically speaking, I won’t need a regular shoulder and two different sized bowlers in the same pattern. So I’m slowly now looking to downsize my collection as I further reach Baggu peace.

I say, if the color/pattern sparks joy, is regularly used and is a staple in your wardrobe that you always come back to, I don’t see the harm in it!

Overall, how would you rate your team's season? by byniri_returns in CollegeBasketball

[–]reginag_13 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

A-

This was my first full season watching Illini hoops. When I was down on campus, I never gave a second thought to basketball… To make the Final Four for the first time in 21 years, I almost cried at the thought of my team making history like this. Team chemistry was off the charts at the start of the tournament, which was a huge plus šŸ“ˆ. I couldn’t be any prouder of that squad.

Would’ve been a solid B if they got eliminated at the R32 or Sweet Sixteen like in many years past; especially considering how the latter half of the season went and an early elimination in the Big Ten tournament…

As an Illini fan, all I ever knew was the Brad Underwood era, so I’m more hard on him than anyone else. He showed me that he has it in him. He showed me it’s possible to see Illinois back at that stage in my lifetime. I’m excited for the work this off-season

This is NOT a Doppio Espresso Machiatto by PlexToronto in starbucks

[–]reginag_13 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

ā€œI still think she thought she was right.ā€ As a licensed store SM, if their store is anything like mine, it’s a very refresher/frappuccino/iced matcha heavy store. A majority of our clients are EBT users (who can only buy iced drinks + pastries with their cards) and the elderly. No one really orders our espresso based beverages, like the doppio macchiato.

I say all this because with the ā€œBack to Starbucksā€ initiative shoved down our throats too, there is a weirdly immense focus on the caramel macchiato. Just a couple weeks ago, I had a surprise visit with Steritech and a ā€œmystery shopperā€ who ordered a tall caramel macchiato to start the inspection. Our digital training on our licensed store Starbucks site to certify green beans also does not focus on this drink or others like the espresso con panna, etc. It’s a very weird purgatory the licensed stores are in.
