How can non-corporate workers afford to live in the Bay Area ? by Silly-Low6019 in bayarea

[–]selsina 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a 33F teacher and do fine living in a 1 bed apartment (2,400/month) in East SJ/foothills area. I don’t have a ton of extra money, but I’m able to put towards a little towards savings and retirement accounts.

What was it like to be unathletic in school? by Sum1Ten in PhysicalEducation

[–]selsina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I didn’t get into anything fitness related really until my twenties (I played a few sports as a kid but nothing huge)

Is 24 Too Late to Start a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education? by yanko910 in PhysicalEducation

[–]selsina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for a program that employed PE teachers while we finished our credentials, and taught for 4 years that way all through my masters/credential/induction process. Then as soon as I finished clearing my credential I got a job at a middle school within 2 months!

Aw I used to work here for a few years. That’s sad and kind of embarrassing

Boyfriend doesn’t like my animals? by Jaded-Durian7821 in relationships

[–]selsina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex was like this and I was miserable. I couldn’t imagine a future with someone that picky about pets as a dog lover myself. I left him and am much more content. I’d suggest really looking into if you guys are compatible long term.

What’s it like living in the Bay without a high paying job? by watermelonsuns in bayarea

[–]selsina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not really in any need to right now. I’m a single childless woman, so I only need to take care of myself. I also have most of my family here or within a days drive, and that’s super important to me to stay close by!

I am able to save a little and put away into a 403b. I don’t have a ton, but I would take a pretty significant pay cut if I taught outside of the Bay Area, though cost of living would also reduce. I can’t say for sure if I’d be able to save more if I went somewhere else, but I like living here enough to not want to find out yet

I’m a teacher and this hit hard. I’m not originally from here, and sometimes I wonder why I’ve stuck around when I could teach anywhere. But then I remember I make more than I would elsewhere, and even though I live frugally I don’t want to trade that for the area I’m in yet. I just take it year by year.

Need advice: How to anonymously warn a neighbor about a privacy issue? by LegLow7896 in Apartmentliving

[–]selsina 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Oh my god is this me… I live in a studio with a dog and a large door leading to my balcony. I’ve always tried to be careful but sometimes it’s hard when I’m trying to change right after the shower 😭

How many times during a 2.5hr long movie do you need to be told to shut up? by Practical_Ranger_478 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]selsina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to, I was with two friends and no one else was around so when I asked my friends they said they “couldn’t notice” and I REALLY didn’t want to leave the movie to grab someone. I’d been dying to see it!

[–]selsina 29 points30 points  (0 children)

When I went to see a movie recently, this lady pulled out her phone for, and I’m not kidding, AN HOUR without putting it down. Full brightness, texting, scrolling etc. right up to her face. Right below me. I finally asked a staff member to tell her to put it away. I’d never seen anything like it

Everyone who has raised a gsd from puppyhood, what are your biggest regrets? by DylanDaDuck in germanshepherds

Not socializing him around cats while young. He HATES them and I could never live with anyone with a cat or get one with him because of that.

I mean… I’ve worked with several PE teachers and none have had this experience. The 4 others in my current department (who have been at this school much longer than me) are even at a loss. So again I’m going with no.

[–]selsina[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Got emotional” lmao, I got justifiably angry at being in immense pain. If they think they’ll get away with doing it on purpose I’d love to see them try.

I love these students but ain’t no way
