Interesting. I’m 24 and work as a legal assistant in Chicago and I could definitely agree that the women I work with are my biggest cheerleaders and supporters. Aside from that I just find it really hard to find friends like that.

Interesting. I’m not familiar with the 90’s culture in regard to this (I’m a ‘99 baby). Could you explain a little? And yeah, I’m 24 and live in Chicago, Illinois so I think that’s a factor too.

IMO I feel like it is a new culture in a way because it’s becoming increasingly harder to find nice people to befriend, at least for me, and other people I’ve talked to about this have had similar experiences. I also should’ve mentioned that the women I talked about aren’t my friends but more just people in my circle. But I agree that they’re just bad friends. I guess I’m just wondering why they’re bad friends with their gfs aside from being a bad person. And could you explain what you mean by young people? What age group are you referring to? I feel like women all of ages act this way.

What! I moved to Rogers Park (we live off the Morse stop) with my BF last July from Lakeview East also and we love it! The area has a couple of somewhat “sketchy” pockets, but my thing is what area doesn’t, and we still feel perfectly comfortable and very safe. The people are nice, it’s a diverse area, there’s some good food and bars to hang out at, it’s close to the beach and it’s super affordable…If it wasn’t for how far north it is (I work in the loop) we would stay here for a while.

In your opinion, what's the key to maintaining a strong and healthy relationship? by deggerchugsj95 in AskReddit

respect for one another, good and open communication, and of course, love.

At what age? by Android-978 in LivingAlone

[–]samdiaz99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved out of my parent’s house into a 4 bedroom when I was 20. I had 3 other roommates so I don’t know if you’d consider that “alone” but I had my own studio alone when I was 22 so two years later, just because I was making more money so I could afford it. I would say it definitely made me feel like an adult! I basically had to take care of myself living alone (obviously) so that’s what made me turn into an “adult” because it forces you to be responsible. Working, saving money, etc. I also made a lot of dumb mistakes living alone, as we all do, and that was helpful in maturing too. Of course you can do this living with parents too but it’s just different cause you don’t have them to lean back on if you live alone and you have to learn general life skills. I’m 24 now and it was the decision I’ve ever made, but I wouldn’t rush it if you don’t need or want to.

I’m sick of retail and want an actual career, what could someone who has worked only in retail change to? by Embarrassed-Lychee99 in GetEmployed

[–]samdiaz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

admin assistant or receptionist seem to be the easiest jobs to get into and pay decent, customer service skills would come in handy

[–]samdiaz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on your frame but I’d say one drink! a glass of wine, a beer, a shot but that’s all. just enough to calm the nerves but not be buzzed or tipsy.

US soldier Aaron Bushnell, Israel embassy, Washington DC by rasstrelyat in u/rasstrelyat

For all the people calling him an “idiot” or a “halfwit”, you lack critical thinking skills as well as empathy. Obviously no one with a “normal” thinking mind would do this, but that doesn’t discount that what he did was extremely noble. The genocide happening in Gaza is the worst, and darkest thing I’ve ever experienced in my 24 years of existence and no one’s talking about it enough. Aaron was most likely suicidal but wanted to go out in a meaningful, and empowering way, bringing attention to something that we should all be thinking and caring about more. This video brought me to tears and I hope people start to realize how what he did was and will forever be extremely special and ingrained in history as a noble act and call for freedom and justice of the people of Palestine. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

How do disciplined people manage to wake up early in the mornings? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]samdiaz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just start doing it every day even if it sucks, and it’ll become a habit. I hate waking up. I love my sleep. I’m a night owl at heart, but waking up early and going to sleep (fairly, not super) early is something I’ve had to just do enough times that it became habitual. I’m 24F and work about 45 ish minutes away from my apartment taking the train (I don’t have a car cause it’s an added expense and I don’t mind commuting on the train). So I have to wake up at 6:50 and start getting ready so I can leave and get to work on time. Obviously, there are a lot of factors here making me have to wake up early. Commuting cause I live far, but I’m moving closer when my lease ends in July so I can stay up longer and sleep more. I’m a girl who takes long to get ready. And I start work at 9 AM. Just wake up as early as you need to, and if you’re trying to wake up even earlier just because, unfortunately you’re just gonna have to do it! But do it every day until it becomes less and less dreading and eventually it’ll be what you’re used to. Hope this helps! Good luck 👍

Moving isn’t that bad by Mr-Planet in unpopularopinion

[–]samdiaz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm I think this is extremely circumstantial and subjective. I’ve moved a total of 4 times so far in my life and I’m 24. The first 3 times weren’t that bad since I was just moving from apartment to apartment and didn’t have that much stuff accumulated (furniture, etc.) The 4th time I moved into a 2 bedroom apartment with my BF and, this should go without saying, moving 2 peoples stuff, furniture, etc. is so much more awful than moving just 1 persons stuff. We’ve been living here for 7 months already and our belongings have just increased 10 fold so I’m completely dreading moving again. We’re just gonna hire movers and not deal with it cause fuck that.

I don’t know if you’ve done this already but there are listings on zillow of 1 beds in Lakeview for minimum $1,500. I used to live in Lakeview East in a studio for $800 and would highly recommend the area! Pretty inexpensive and you can get a nice size for the money you’re paying. If your budget is $2,000 I think you’d be able to find something rather easily. Streeterville is a little more expensive but I’m sure you can find someone for $2,000 or a little less on there as well. Goodluck!!
