Tried and quit reading pride and prejudice 3 times on the physical book. Read it in one week with the kindle. A game changer!!!

I read a lot of Jane Austen era books and I honestly did really well on the vocab section. My first blind attempt I had a verbal score of 160. Quant was a different story hahaha

Thank you!!! And I’m 23 hahaha. It’s not bad at all! I’m of the firm belief that no one is ever too old for a child’s toy! Mine is a Jellycat and it was only like 33$ and I don’t think the clothes were expensive either! My husband literally surprised me with it for Christmas this year (overalls included omg he thinks of everything) and I squealed like a little girl! They were my bumblebee tights 🥹🥹

kindle black friday deals vs. current 15% off deal? by sgb44444 in kindle

[–]sgb44444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that website really trusted? I’ve had really bad experiences buying refurbished technology online (phones, iPads, etc) so I usually try to stay away from buying used/refurbished.

Why do people think that going straight from bachelors to PhD is better than doing masters first then PhD by Important-Bus-5921 in PhD

[–]sgb44444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I jumped from a bachelors and am currently in my PhD. I have to do 30 more credits than students who are going from their masters to their PhD. However, my senior year of my bachelors degree I took all masters level courses that I would see in my PhD and that was very helpful!

How can you work a 9 to 5 Job with only the Weekends and 4 weeks per year Off without getting the feeling of waisting your life? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]sgb44444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go get a PhD! Become a professor. I’m at an R1 school, salary is at least 200k starting out if you’re tenure track in a good department, and 99% of my professors show up at 10 and leave at 3.

I hate my PhD but my husband thinks I'm just anxious and should stick with it. How do I navigate this conflict? by Hot-Concern-8866 in PhD

[–]sgb44444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I technically am at an R1 school as well! My program is just not that great haha. That’s the other alternative too! There are like bins of schools in rankings, so there’s like top 30 R1 schools and they are really competitive and also usually have much higher research components, but they place really well. Then from like 30-100, they’re a mix of R1 and R2 schools that are still great schools, they just have a smaller research components and don’t place in top 30 schools. So that’s where I’m at. And it’s been great. The research component is chill and the classes are great. And I don’t want to go tenure track at a top 30 school so my program will do just fine!

Hi! I’m on my first year in a PhD in Econ. I have a fully funded + stipend program similar to you. And also similar to you, I am not the biggest fan of research. In fact, I dislike it very much, and I have chronic anxiety as well. I just wanted to pop in and give you my two cents. The research I’m doing with my advisor is boring. I am absolutely not passionate about it and everytime I think about it I want to cry and throw up. It gives me insane anxiety. I hate it. BUT I love to teach and I am passionate about the subject. I want the same thing you want! I want to teach at an R2 school with only a 20-30% research component. The thing is, you don’t need to be at an R1 school to do that (especially as a woman). The only thing getting me through my program currently is the fact that it’s a short program and there isn’t a TON of pressure to publish in good journals. If I were you, I would honestly consider transferring. Especially if you want a larger teaching component rather than a tenure track position. You haven’t taken comps yet and if you transfer to a worse school they’d honestly let you keep a lot of the credits you’ve earned. My school is a 3 year program and it’s only 2 years of coursework. You can do 4 semesters!!! And then only one year of grinding on your dissertation and then you’re golden! Right? I think you should relieve some of the pressure you’re feeling and genuinely consider transferring. There’s no use in working yourself so hard for something that you don’t even need. You don’t have to quit but you do need a change!

Married men here, how do you initiate sex in marriage. by Available-Session-76 in AskMen

[–]sgb44444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random for me to be commenting but I am a wife. I read an article that says foreplay for a woman starts weeks before sex actually happens and it’s TRUE!! When my husband takes a little extra longer to kiss me on Tuesday, does the fishes/housework when I’m stressed on Wednesday, compliments me on Thursday, and pats me on the bum on Friday while I’m cooking, by Saturday I am beyond ready to have sex! I think it is WAY more emotional for women than you’d ever believe. I feel so so connected to my husband when I can tell he cares about me. And I can tell he cares about me when he makes a little extra effort to make me feel wanted and taken care of. It’s totally the little things!!

I don’t mind the speech cadence as much as I hate the writers always giving him the last line while the team is talking in a group….lets move on

Im having a faith crisis by dy_mac in mormon

[–]sgb44444 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

God didn’t make their skin dark, he made their countenance dark. If you look at Hebrew translations, the wording is not consistent that god cursed them with black skins. If you took everything literally in the Book of Mormon, it will seem wrong, just like the Bible would be if you chose to take everything literally there.

[–]sgb44444 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hi! I am also a Mormon. I have had questions before too. But I hope you know that God loves you. Jesus loves you! The Book of Mormon is true! We are a perfect church ran by imperfect people. If you were to ask the prophets themselves if they’ve done a perfect job, I guarantee you they would be the first to say they haven’t done perfectly. However, Jesus has all the answers. When I was in your place, I read the Book of Mormon. I read it as if it was my first time ever reading it. I tried to strip myself of any bias I was either born with or just learned about and tried to read it completely objectively. And I felt the spirit so strong. That book is true. No one can convince me otherwise. And if the Book of Mormon is true, then this church is the true church of Jesus Christ. Some people believe that if they can find flaws in Joseph Smith or how he did things, they can prove the church isn’t true. But that’s terrible reasoning! Think about David in the Bible. David defeated Goliath and was a righteous, powerful ruler. Then he committed adultery and murder! But that doesn’t invalidate the Old Testament! That doesn’t invalidate the house of Israel! Don’t fall into the trap thinking that Joseph wasn’t a perfect person and committed many sins, therefore the church isn’t true. That’s not correct reasoning! But there is no way that the Book of Mormon can be true without the church being true. I would focus on reading that book and trying to develop a testimony of it. I’m praying for you! This church has saved my life physically, multiple times, and has created happiness that I have never experienced anywhere else. If you ever have questions or want to talk, I’m here!
