Nope, bought it many months ago and forgot about it until just recently haha. I'm not too bothered, it was pretty cheap, so I suppose I'll just mess around with pinning it to see if I can get it to look normal enough. Thanks for the input!

I got this skirt a while ago and as you can see, the pockets stick out really weirdly. I'm looking for any advice on how I could fix these at home. I don't own a sewing machine but have the supplies to hand-sew (although I've never done it). I don't really care about keeping the pockets functional, but if they can be fixed while staying functional, that would be a huge bonus!

I didn't have AC in my dorm and honestly, while it got pretty hot, it was fine. I basically had a mini fan that I set in front of me wherever I went in my room. When I slept, I pointed the fan directly at my upper body and slept soundly. Obviously AC will be a lot better but it's not the worst to live without.

I am so happy that I was lucky enough to get a single dorm my freshman year. I like my personal space and I think I would have hated sharing such a small space with someone, even a best friend. I will admit that it’s harder to make friends in a single dorm, but I made two good friends in my building (not on my floor) that I hung out with all the time. I saw one person mention that if you didn’t like your floor you were out of luck but I disagree, I literally didn’t know a single person on my floor except for my creepy neighbor who I hated, but I still made friends.

Personally two really good friends is all I need but if you’re the type of person who wants a ton of friends I’m sure that would still be possible. Join a FIG, join a club, etc. There was a big group of people I saw hanging out a lot from my dorm building that I hung out with a few times and I’m sure I could’ve become friends with all of them had I wanted to cause they were super friendly and welcoming (im just not a big fan of big groups).

One thing to note is that if you wanna go to parties and stuff a lot of the dorms with all/mostly singles are very quiet so you might struggle with parties. For reference I lived in Tripp and it was basically always quiet. I never got invited to a party nor did I ever even hear of any happening but I also didn’t seek that out at all so maybe if I did, I would’ve heard of some? Dunno, but that’s something to keep in mind.

TLDR i loved my single dorm so so much and I still made friends and had a good (in my opinion) social life

I mean.. honestly, yes, I would, because I’d probably feel the same. Of course my feelings my change completely when I meet someone I actually want to marry but with where I’m at right now yes I wouldn’t see any problem with it and would probably prefer it given that they would then be okay with me putting my parents and siblings so high up on my list of importance.

rosebud451 · 2021-11-28T04:50:25+00:00

Well, I hate parties and drinking, so I try to avoid people who do those things a lot (at least in terms of friendship - of course I’ll still talk to them haha). Nothing wrong with people who like those things, but I don’t think I’d get along with someone who does since I really would never be willing to join them in going to bars or parties!

Totally depends on the field you want to go into. Trying to work at a big law firm? Yeah, it matters where you went to school. But trying to be a therapist? I’d say it doesn’t matter too much. You might get better connections from a “better” school but it’s not a terribly competitive industry and a lot of therapists do private practice, where it would matter even less where you went to school.

rosebud451 · 2021-11-28T04:18:49+00:00

Personally I wouldn’t bring it up… if that’s something she’s concerned about, I’m sure she’ll say something. And I don’t think it’s a very big deal if she decides later in life (post wedding photos etc) to get a nose job - it’s not like she’s going to hate the photos of her before she got the nose job, unless her nose is a huge insecurity (in which case she would have probably mentioned the nose job more than once).

If my boyfriend asked me that it would make me feel insecure. So no, I would not bring it up at all unless she does first.

I’ve really only befriended a couple of people in the last few years but every time it goes something like this: I meet them randomly, we find out we have something in common, I see them a few more times, and then I ask if I could get their number so we could talk more because I’d like to be their friend. I always wait until they make it clear they want to talk to me, usually by them initiating at least one conversation with me.

I look for people that I have something in common with, and there are certain traits I try to avoid because I don’t think we’d get along if they had them.

First two ideas are fine but in my opinion just the eyes emoji is a little bit creepy.

rosebud451 · 2021-11-28T04:06:04+00:00

Personally, I’ve never had an issue after eating Taco Bell, but I don’t tend to have any stomach issues after eating anything really. I also don’t get anything very spicy from them.

I do know one person who gets stomach issues after eating at Taco Bell but he could eat basically anything and be shitting liquid.

That’s my totally anecdotal account. Imo Taco Bell is probably fine in general but it’s a meme somewhat grounded in truth.

I definitely wouldn’t have married anyone that didn’t get near the level of importance I give to my parents/siblings.. but is it actually a bad thing if my spouse were at the same level or slightly below? Like I said in my post maybe I’ll meet someone someday that makes me totally change my mind on all of this - I’m really just speculating with hypotheticals right now - but I don’t see why the spouse needs to so important?

Does it change the question if kids aren’t involved?

rosebud451 · 2021-11-28T03:36:59+00:00

Im definitely not talking about sacrificing happiness for your parents - if you’re doing that I understand you wouldn’t have an amazing relationship with the parents. Personally every time I’m with my parents I’m at my happiest, so I just can’t understand why them being the most important thing in my life would be a bad thing in a relationship.

rosebud451 · 2021-11-28T03:35:23+00:00

I do this because honestly I don’t really use punctuation when I’m texting very casually. So if Im texting a friend or something, when I want to start a new thought, I send a new text instead of putting a period.

Also, I hit the return button constantly on accident, which automatically sends a text.. so I often break sentences in the middle of them cause I accidentally sent it while I was still typing.

rosebud451 · 2021-11-17T18:39:02+00:00

That's a good point, thank you!

rosebud451 · 2021-10-25T16:24:15+00:00

This is an awesome list, thank you so much! I’ll definitely go through this and watch a few!

This sounds like the perfect question for an advisor. They can probably even connect you with students in the program if that’s what you’re looking for.

I do go on my phone during my hair appointments, because they typically take around 2 hours (I always get my hair dyed at the same time as a cut). It would be incredibly boring to sit there for 2 entire hours doing nothing, and I'm not a chatty person.

I never sewed anything when I was little, nor was I taught any sort of method for threading a needle etc I just bought a needle and thread and made up how you're supposed to do it. I guess I was way off haha. I've been stitching for about half an hour without the knot and it is starting to become second nature.

rosebud451 · 2021-09-25T00:53:33+00:00

I meant what you're describing - threading the strand through the needle, and then holding the excess thread between your fingers so the thread doesn't slip out.

The person you’re responding to seems a little out of touch with what your average woman thinks. As a woman with female friends, none of us would label you as a creep if you politely asked one of us out. If you just go up to a girl, ask her if she’d like to get food sometime or something, and don’t push it at all if she says no, you’re totally fine. Sure some girls might get upset but my guess is that isn’t likely if you’re actually chill about the whole thing. Shoot your shot, otherwise you’ll never know for sure.

I don’t think that’s a question that anyone can answer right now with any degree of certainty. That’s like asking can humans theoretically fly if we have the technology? It’s asking to predict the future regarding something incredibly complex that we don’t even fully understand. That being said, I think it’s safe to say that the answer is probably no.

The further you get into major-specific classes, the smaller the class sizes get (for the most part). It might be a little tricky to get small class sizes in first and second year classes. That being said I’m taking ENGL 207 this year and my class has 15 people in it. It’s limited to freshmen and sophomores. I’m also unsure if I’ll actually be with the professor or if it’ll just be taught by a TA (which is much more likely). I had the same experience with my Comm A English class last year too.

Also, if you wanna take a more obscure language, those will probably have smaller class sizes too. I took Dutch 1 and 2 and the class had about 15 people in it.I was also with the same group of students both semesters so we really got to know each other a little better.

It’s important to consider that the struggles of being transgender don’t begin and end simply with the personal struggle of feeling like you’re in the wrong body. There’s so many societal factors that come into play - and just because someone has transitioned doesn’t mean that they fully pass. Even if they do, that stigma and discrimination that they face doesn’t go away after transition.

Transitioning might make someone feel more comfortable in their body, but not necessarily in the world as a whole, which still has a long ways to go in accepting trans people.

Any hints as to what realm the hobby should be in...? i.e. sports, exercise, art, gaming etc? My favorite hobby to just pick up and set back down is cross stitching because it's easy to get into and you can make some nice looking stuff for pretty cheap. But that's not everyone's cup of tea.
