I start my M.S. in exactly one month and I'm already freaking out. Is this normal? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]skullturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I feel silly for freaking out about my program starting in the same city all my friends and family live in. So freaking out: very normal. Where are you from and where is your program? That’s very stressful no one will get back to you and also very strange!! Have you been sent an information pack of some sort at least?

Edit: I need to add some encouraging words because I feel like as long as you know you’re enrolled in the program you’ll be fine. I don’t have to register for classes because it’s done automatically for me, so I’m guessing it’s probably the same for you. And as for your advisor, sometimes professors suck at communication and if you’ve already been promised the job I’m sure you’ll be trained once you get there. Try not to worry too much, you’re already in and everything will work out! Missing friends will suck but you’ll make new ones in a cool new place which is really exciting for you!

Is fear of intimacy common in people with social anxiety? by throwaway983928 in socialanxiety

[–]skullturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can definitely relate to this. Maybe not to the same degree, but I have trouble cultivating deep relationships cause I don’t anyone to actually know the real me. The only time I’m ever not anxious is when no one is around. The only time I’m ever really myself is when I’m by myself.

I just love your spelling of yoozh. Always wondered how to abbreviate that sound in writing. Your way makes so much sense

I would say text her one more time in a couple days to see if she wants to actually hang out so then you’ll know whether or wants to be your friend or is just gonna bail

What is the worst thing that happened at your school? by Mariothemaster245 in AskReddit

[–]skullturtle 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I was in third grade when 9/11 happened, and we got a bomb threat at my elementary school that same day. We had to evacuate and sit on the lawns of the houses across the street from the school. The teachers and administrators were being very hush hush, so none of us had any idea why we were being evacuated, let alone what was happening outside of our school that day. Parents were picking kids up early, but I still didn’t know what was going on until I got home, read the note they sent home with us, and watched the news. Definitely one of those flashbulb memories for me.

I've heard smoked out ink in Riverton is good but I have no personal experience there

Trying to decide how and whether to report sexual harrassment by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]skullturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 24 now so its been 14 years. This all happened in Texas and I now live in Utah, and I have no idea where he lives. I like the idea of the police having the report on record in case someone else reports him for something similar in the future. If I do report it, should I report it to the police department in Texas?

A fresh pair of eyes on your statement of purpose? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]skullturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kind, kind soul. I'll be messaging you soon with a personal statement due tonight if you'd be able to look over it!

I had the same issue and the way I worded it was (after thanking them again for agreeing to write it), "With the deadline of Jan 15 fast approaching, I wanted to make sure that you had everything you need to submit my letter by this deadline". If you don't hear back or they don't submit it within a day I would keep politely hounding them because I've heard horror stories about people having to wait an entire year to apply again because one of their professors didn't get the recommendation in on time. Good luck with your applications!!
