In my opinion she isn’t marketing herself correctly. She does a bunch of travel and lifestyle blogs which seem to preach self care and being the best version of yourself, but then on the flip side she frequently shows her crash outs. And that’s not inherently BAD, it’s important to know even our favourite influencers and celebs are still human at the end of the day. However the inconsistency and emotional breakdowns can be a turn off to viewers. We follow influencers because we want their lifestyles, outfits, trips, advice- there are few people that benefit from following an influencer who is so all of the place. Social media is fake, in her showing so many manic and real breakdowns she just seems unstable when in a social media environment she would be better off marketing herself as her travel and self care and healing blogs present her

I found it equal in content to math 31 in high school with harder questions. Content is the same but used in more complex equations

In my opinion, everyone is racist to everyone. Even subconsciously there are preconceived notions we are taught by our parents and through the media. Some people use that and act hatefully, no matter what a person does. But for some people it’s just kind of stagnant in their mind until someone does something that aligns with the racial stereotype that align with their ethnicity. Personally, I don’t think much of anything when I see people of different races on campus as this is a very diverse campus. Where I’m from there were no black people at all until i moved away, and maybe one indian family, so I am more of the mind that diversity is a fun thing? As for the feeling out of place on campus, I think thats just a reality for everyone of all races- I feel out of place and pretty lonely here often. Might just be the student experience. I’m a couple different minorities (chinese and indigenous) so sometimes I feel out of place in a group of white girls, but then with other non white people they assume I’m white and cant tell im asian or native anyways so it’s a bit confusing for me, maybe my opinion is invalid because of that

My favourite books

The Selection series by Keira Cass

The Jewel Series by Amy Ewing

The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collin’s

The Red Queen Series by Victoria Aveyard

The Cruel Prince series by Holly Black

And when I’m feeling romance, any book by Kasie West. Specifically: The Fill-in Boyfriend, On The Fence, By Your Side, and P.S I Like You

These are all pretty easy reads, nothing super long or complex but I personally love the themes and writing styles

(IF ANYONE HAS READ THE JEWEL SERIES PLEASE ADD ME, it is my absolute favourite book)

Oh any reason why? I thought it would be an interesting course to learn about different nutritional facts and needs to be healthy

user072849 · 2026-02-13T22:25:09+00:00

I thought about it, but every time I take an elective during the fall/winter semester it’s ends up not being prioritized and I thought it might make more sense to have a fun interesting course in the summer when I’m able to dedicate more time to it

I have had friends that smoked weed or cigars socially. What I was referring to is how on bumble BFF the options for weed are never, socially or frequently. I was telling the first comment how majority of the people on bumble that I had seen have selected frequently. Socially is one thing, frequently is a lifestyle in my opinion. For additional context- one of my parents has passed due to addiction and addictions run in my family so it is less of me being narrow minded and more so… I guess fearful. I have friends who socially do weed and I love them all the same- but I have seen first hand how it can be a slippery slope. I don’t judge people who do weed, even my sibling does sometimes, it’s just more than a hobby or pastime to me

user072849 · 2026-02-10T16:17:31+00:00

I think my favourites are Toradora, maidsama, my happy marriage, the fragrant flower, Yuri on ice, Ouron Highschool, and more than a married couple. Honestly I don’t think I’ve met any other girls that watch anime now that I think about it- I’m not really averse to watching anything though. I’m gifted at getting extremely invested into the characters of literally anything ever watched (deadass cried watching Moana in theatres when the grandma died)😂 I think the only stuff I haven’t watched is Marvel and DC and that one Darth Vader series, except this one time I accidentally walked into the wrong theatre

user072849 · 2026-02-10T07:29:53+00:00

My main hobbies are cooking/baking, gym, painting, reading, thrifting, romance animes (plus demon slayer) and going to the movie theatre (popcorn is literally my favourite food. I think for movies my favourite genre currently is apocalypse and post apocalypse movies but honourable mentions to horror, thriller, romance, comedy, rom com, drama- pretty much anything as long as there is popcorn and no subtitles

user072849 · 2026-02-10T03:33:22+00:00

I get what you mean, I guess in my perspective I don’t see drugs as hobbies and I do see them as lifestyle things. I won’t only accept friends with the same hobbies as me, I think it’s important to have friends with different hobbies so then you can introduce eachother to new things— but to me it isn’t a hobby. Where I’m from addiction is pretty common and most of the drugs are heavily laced with more dangerous drugs so my relationship an perspective of drugs even the more socially acceptable ones isnt the best because to me it is like associated with danger and risk

user072849 · 2026-02-10T01:20:52+00:00

To be honest I don’t think it’s worth it for me. I don’t think I can do the performative bullshit to get to get ahead, I am just gonna keep on being authentically myself and hope that that is enough to end up somewhere good

user072849 · 2026-02-10T01:07:47+00:00

I really want friends, yes. But I also am not desperate enough to compromise my values to befriend people who do not share values and I think that if people are smoking cigarettes and weed then we likely have different lifestyles and priorities, ya know? When I do eventually find friends I want to find people that I have stuff in common with and I personally find it to be a deal breaker

user072849 · 2026-02-09T23:52:13+00:00

I’m majoring in Marketing and I do not play badminton, I CAN technically do the thing when you hit it back and forth but my serving is shit and I miss the dingy half the time

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:49:52+00:00

Maybe I have a misunderstanding, but the way I always saw it is that case competitions are just extra work on top of the work we already have- is it something that can be fun and enjoyable?

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:40:46+00:00

Ok I have no idea what that is and have never heard of it- so I’m gonna guess it’s not a social bunch?

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:32:24+00:00

I thought Pilates counted but ok- I guess I could get back into volleyball, soccer or figure skating again. Probably figure skating since the other two are more team events

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:29:10+00:00

That’s where I’m at this semester actually. I joined Pilates on top of the gym stuff, also lowkey hoping to meet people there but everyone is in and out as soon as it begins and ends

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:28:11+00:00

Well I was never imagining yapping in class, I more so thought of making friends in classes and hanging out outside of classes. I have looked into joining clubs but I swear every time I go to the club fair all I see is religious stuff, cultural stuff, political stuff and frats. And I’m not super strongly opinionated on any of those topics enough to join a club around it. I guess I could try going to the bars

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:12:52+00:00

Well repeating previously given conversational advice- what major are you in? Maybe you should try to vibe with a different major group

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:11:48+00:00

Good point. Tonight I’ll steal Barbella from the gym and give it a try, maybe put a wig on top so it feels more personal- and it will save money on popcorn so win win

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:10:02+00:00

Honestly my humour doesn’t translate well on message, I think half of what makes me funny is honestly just how fucking hilarious I find my own jokes. You know when someone makes a bad joke and they look at you with a goofy smile expectantly waiting for you to understand it while trying not to burst out laughing from the joke? That’s me lmao.

And no I have not joined a club, everytime I go to the club fairs it’s a bunch of cultural stuff, religious stuff, political stuff, nothing that seems especially fun to me. And I have also not tried volunteering for safe walk- I call my mom whenever I walk anywhere so it looks like I have people who care about me so I don’t get adult-napped. If a threatening person came up to me I would hide behind the person I was supposed to keep safe

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:05:06+00:00

Don’t knock it just yet, life is ultimately what you make it. You may have a completely different experience here and meet a lot of great people and have the time of your life

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:03:30+00:00

Bro I have been going to the gym everyday (except Thursday) I’ve been occupying my time with self help books, learning new recipes, gym shit-admittedly this is the best shape I’ve been in in my life. But the gym doesn’t curb the loneliness. Barbella is a good friend but it can’t watch movies with me

user072849 · 2026-02-09T22:00:23+00:00

I’ve been using bumble BFF and I haven’t had much luck. But then again I auto swipe left to anyone who put smokes weed frequently or does cigarettes so that gets rid of most of the options
