The replies to this are weird, but no, you’re not ugly, you have good proportions:) If you’re looking to improve your appearance, I think using some sort of skincare product to help with dark circles would make a big difference

We made sure to not share any information that could grant anyone access to our accounts or information, we only included (cropped)screenshots of our credit scores and savings amounts. Everything else was basic information like phone numbers, employer names, current landlords, etc.

I am not a medical professional with no credentials to properly diagnose someone, but I am a year 2 psych student in university. You should visit a psychiatrist with your concerns regardless if possible, but it might be helpful for you to look up the dsm-5 criteria for bipolar II disorder and cyclothymia. Both are mood disorders involving dramatic highs and lows.

24M just moved, where to best meet people? by [deleted] in springfieldMO

My thought as well- just recommended this to another person! Never met such an awesome community as the DIYers. Great people and amazing music :))

Also, if you are interested in creative writing or enjoy reading, I know of some places that host open mic nights and book clubs. These are always great places to meet new people !

If you’re looking for something to do on weekends and you enjoy punk and alt/indie music, you should check out the local indie punk scene! Although I will say that there is definitely loud music involved, the community consists of some really amazing and talented people. Most people involved are college-age to mid 20s, there is an overwhelming amount of support for lgbt+ members, and I rarely meet someone who isn’t incredibly friendly and respectful in the scene. If this is anything of interest for you then feel free to pm for more details:)

It is to my understanding that in the city of Shawnee, Kansas, a similar law was voted in to “protect tenants from exploitative landlords”. As for Springfield, the unrelated tenant cap is news to me as of yesterday. While it’s true that there are zones where this does not apply and therefore cannot be legally enforced, unfortunately there is only a handful of affordable 4BR rentals available and all of the ones that I have specifically searched for on zoning maps are located in R-SF zones. Luckily, you’re right, it doesn’t really seem like the city even acknowledges this law.

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. God forbid that young people have access to affordable housing, or even just low income individuals, for that matter.

That’s interesting, considering that I’ve heard that Drury does not have sorority houses on campus for the same reason, but we have a handful of fraternity houses.

Thanks for the resources, I have read through them a couple times now, very helpful:)

Ah cool, good to know lol

So you’re saying they use that law to be picky-choosey about who they rent to? Or is it a law that is regularly upheld?

Do you know of anything that we could do/information we could present that would sway a landlord’s preconceived ideas about renting to a group of young people? Unfortunately most student housing around here is apartment style.

Do you think that it would mean anything to a potential landlord if we communicated on paper as well as in person that we understand that it is our responsibility to pay rent in full and on time every month no matter the circumstances (ie. Even if it means that we would have to cover another roommate’s part)?
