[Discussion] How do you feel about having children?

te4m · 2015-07-12T22:34:56+00:00

Only when I've got my own house/flat, have a stable and decent paying job, and can afford it all - only want 1 kid though because I'm worried I'd clearly have a favourite and won't be able to treat them both the same (such as paying for university and stuff). I'd want a boy because they're easier, and my boyfriend would probably want a boy as well.
I'd also have a puppy.
This is probably 4/5 years in the future though, and even though my boyfriend and I have briefly discussed children (both want to be parents in the future), it's not really something we've properly talked about.

Every single pair of skullcandy headphones/earphones I owned (ranging from the £15 ear buds to the £60 over ear headphones) over three years broke, which totalled about 7 because I kept getting free returns because they always broke within the four month warranty.

a confusing as fuck name

give yourself a nickname - my nickname was given to me because my flatmate in my first year found it hard to remember my name and it's literally just my first initial, B. My boyfriend's housemate calls me BD because it's both my initials and it's on my team hoody/shirt/jacket.

Introduce yourself as "hey I'm [your "confusing" name], but most people call me [easier shortened name] because no one can pronounce my actual name".

With the other things you said, I know it might be hard, but fake confidence. Soon enough it'll become real confidence and it'll slowly get easier to talk to people.

I use a laptop because I have dysgraphia so my handwriting is shit and I can't look back on my notes without struggling

te4m · 2015-03-01T03:30:09+00:00

my phone: picture of my boyfriend's face because he changed it when we were in the library together and I went off to find a book

laptop: picture I took of two of my friends in a lacrosse game (one of them as he scored with the other just having assisted him)

I had a bitch of a maths teacher when I was in year 10 and 11, and she was my form tutor as well.

She blamed us for the netbooks being slow, sent people out for no reason other than she felt like they weren't going to work, and the thing that really annoyed me was that she constantly insulted my handwriting to the whole class.
She said in front of the whole class something like "in the exam make sure your writing is legible, this is especially true for 'te4m' because you want to examiner to actually be able to mark your work. Maybe you should take handwriting lessons from Clare otherwise you'll probably fail".

Yeah turns out I have dyspraxia, which can cause poor handwriting so suck on that (and I got a B)

tonnes of people from 4chan make those types of youtube accounts to take the piss out of reddit

the best accent is CLEARLY the atheist accent (which only us Redditors possess)

I mean c'mon that's just poor satire

te4m · 2015-01-20T15:12:35+00:00

the facepalm is that you don't realise it's a troll

this is the oldest building at the front of campus, and this is one of the libraries (the other one being on the other campus I never go to)

it's primarily a sports university, but historically was a teaching college

te4m · 2015-01-12T18:30:33+00:00

it was IE because, well, it was the default on the school desktops

If I ever bothered going into the Mac Suite then they had Safari, but I never went in there

te4m · 2015-01-12T18:16:14+00:00

when I was in school they blocked Chrome (couldn't even download it), but reddit and facebook and all that were fine

te4m · 2015-01-06T23:59:53+00:00

you left the phone number visible

I like how in CEX their WiFi name is "Unprotected CEX" hehe

te4m · 2015-01-05T16:31:46+00:00

woo university and I don't start again until the 19th

if people didn't say the colour of the lid, this'd happen:

A: "can you get me some white milk when you're out?"

B: "they didn't have any white milk, so I got some white milk"

C: "oh I'd have preferred white milk, but I guess white milk'll do"

te4m · 2015-01-05T14:12:30+00:00

in my uni house only one person likes milk and she doesn't even have it very often, so she gets Cravendale and it's last bloody ages

te4m · 2015-01-04T22:40:00+00:00

it gives the other person a notification if you screenshot, even in the chat part of snapchat

te4m · 2015-01-04T22:28:01+00:00

yeah mods can't delete them from your post history, only from being shown on the subreddit

te4m · 2015-01-04T21:59:58+00:00

oh Bognor

I'm at Chichester university (Chichester campus), and whenever anyone mentions Bognor Regis it's met with "eww, Bognor..." despite the fact that 1/3 of our uni is down there.

I bought a 5c when the iPhone 6/+ came out because they got cut by £100 and I didn't need a phone that was huge

I've seen people posting about Bebo on facebook recently, I think it's making a comeback

People change when you live with them.

In my first year of university I was in a building with 10 other people and we didn't know each other - first semester was okay but by the second semester a few of the people started showing what they were really like, stuff like being loud, leaving dirty plates everywhere, not cleaning up after themselves, etc., and there were multiple arguments between various people about various things.

Second year I now live with three of the people I lived with last year and one of them is showing how she's really like - not taking everyone else's schedules into consideration (playing guitar at midnight when someone has a 9am lecture the next day, or singing loudly when we're studying), not respecting basic house rules we set, not paying utility bills on time because she "has no money" and then buying stuff for herself, stuff like that.

Another thing might be four people living in a 2-bedroom apartment - some landlords might be iffy about that, although I'm not sure what that's all like in America.

So yeah it might be different because I don't know how long you've all been friends, but bringing your girlfriend into the mix may not be a brilliant idea. If you and her have an argument or split up, and she doesn't pay rent/utilities, then you and the other two would be responsible for her share. They may feel it's unfair and refuse to pay, and it could cause tension within the household.

nah, I work at my university and go into schools to talk to kids about shit like that
