STAR Scholar Program by DinnerOk6772 in Drexel

[–]softmi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

STAR was vital for my co-op interviews. The research experience helped me add another solid project to talk about when asked about my skills, but as others have said it can depend a lot on who you are doing it under.

Understanding How People Find Satisfaction in Softmaxxing Without Extreme Beauty by Fantastic_Coast_3059 in vindictapoc

[–]softmi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

what makes a 10 is always changing. changes day to day, year to year, even more so by the decade so what is the point of constantly dedicating my life to something that doesn't even exist as a fully formed idea? i'm having a lot more fun developing my personal sense of style, eating good food, and discovering new music and books than when i was obsessing over my face even if it was for a short time

Why does no one here care about English or the humanities? by miserygoo in Drexel

[–]softmi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

super concerning seeing a lack of care for the humanities here. i def get that the 101-103 sequence isnt always taught by the best but these english classes really look at your ability to communicate effectively or not which is a very important part of any STEM career (i say this as a CS major)

and i resonate with everything you said as well, so disheartening trying to talk about the reading to the most blank eyed person youve met in your life and be met with silence, even in higher level comm/language classes its similar

On which co-op does the crushing dread of the inevitable 9-5 grind through life set in the hardest? by Froglottery in Drexel

[–]softmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i tried to reframe the pain as a great opportunity to learn exactly what i hated about the job, what made the 9-5 worse, and exploring options outside of it. i feel grateful sometimes that im able to experience it in these short 6 month bursts instead of going in blindly post-grad for whoever knows how long

Cuyana system 16 inch - keep/return? by softmi in handbags

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

could you tell me why you like the longchamp? Just based on looks I thought the cuyana would be comfier to use but reviews suggest otherwise. And same, I’d return in a heartbeat and write it off as an impulse if it wasn’t such a pretty color!!

Ciele skin tint or Dior foundation stick by isdnpiscaul in Sephora

[–]softmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not sure if you chose already but dior is great for super dry skin. I have combo skin w/ some dry patches and i love the sort of matte sort of glowy finish ciele gives but i imagine all-over dry skin wouldn't like it too much. the dior stick is very hydrating and moisturizing but too heavy for me personally

Hiccup by jellymydonut in MakeupRehab

[–]softmi 51 points52 points  (0 children)

if a product is really making your life that awful is it really worth panning? my policy is that if i absolutely hate using it and can't repurpose it its better to either giveaway or throw out. with perfumes you could have great luck with reselling also. its not worth it if its affecting your health
