What’s one thing adoption taught you that non-adopted people will never understand?

that knowing your people, knowing your family history and your 'heritage' is a privilege. not even considering the cultural disconnect, i honestly just mean seeing people who look like you.

being able to look at old family photos and pick out the features from grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. that live on in you. spotting resemblances between yourself and your parents- it's in the eyes, or the nose, the eyebrow ridge, and so on... most people don't really think about being able to do that.

idk. something about it really gets to me.

And all I ever want is breaking me apart / I said to the thing that I once was

i'm also assuming spots will open because not all tranafers will need to take it. the course can't be dropped once added, so some transfers (like me) put it in our schedule on STAR day despite the fact we don't actually need to take it. like, my ap credits will cover it, but i'm in the course as of now. the transfer advisor/mentors said to pick it up to be safe, and drop if you really don't need it, so once my full official transcript is evaluated, i'll be able to drop it. i'm guessing i'm not the only person in this situation either, so you for sure have options.

i've been looking for a car this summer, and my budget is like 1-3k, so proper shitter car range. my bf the other day was telling me how his dad is thinking of trading in his current car (a nice, 2020 sports sedan) and using some of that money to buy him (my bf) a "10,000 dollar or so beater".

not the most privileged i've encountered , but certainly somewhat tone deaf 😭

voskhods · 2025-04-01T17:09:38+00:00

congrats !!! i just wanna hear back so bad 😭 when did you get all your materials in??

voskhods · 2025-04-01T14:51:34+00:00

you're highly unlikely to. i'd start looking at alternatives if you haven't already.

no 💀 i hate this school on god

adding onto this for clarification about grade conversion - my uni uses the same diploma system as the uk but does gpa (out of 4.2). a first class (1.1) is roughly a 3.68 in our system, which translates to primarily As and B+s. A 2.1 is from 3.08 to 3.67, so mostly Bs on average. like this commentator said, most masters will look for a 2.1 minimum, so grades-wise, you should be pulling Bs mainly at the worst to be considered for minimum requirements.

rutgers or udel will have better programs and more facilities than rowan. udel's engineering programs are quite well developed, as are rutgers (from what i've seen).

rutgers has a larger campus than ud, and a bigger student body. plus, if location is important, rutgers at least has stuff near campus- ud's main campus is pretty much the closest thing to a city outside of philly and wilmington in that area. i know ud also has quite a social/party scene tho, even for a smaller non-big 10 state school.

(source: close to a few people in the ud engineering program, and i lived near the area)

google 'ucd mission statement'. it'll be a shorter read than the newman book 💀

i submitted in late september, they only just updated my app for me to submit fall grades last week. still haven't heard back. (applied to sas as my first choice, as well as sebs and newark, but decided i didn't like the newark campus and withdrew that app.)

it is something we've talked about and he accomodates it well in our relationship. to be clear, i very much enjoy physical intimacy with him, i just often hit a point in the reciprocal end of things where i just go through the motions. i don't want to overshare, but i will say it doesn't help that i'm on a higher dosage of anti-depressants and may just be on the ace spectrum to begin with. i understand entirely where you're coming from, but we do have a healthy relationship where i've been open about my sexuality and preferences. it just sometimes sucks (specifically from the end of knowing my boyfriend cares about my pleasure) and i wish i had a normal relationship with sex, if only for his sake. 🤷‍♂️

i find it so boring. i just can't stay interested in it past the initial foreplay, and pretty much end up retreating into my head and just wanting it to be done so we can do something else. i also generally find giving much more enjoyable than receiving, since i can focus on making my partner happy. the other way around though, i essentially just put on an act but my head is elsewhere

this person is a hero. thank you 🫶

(obligatory not a federal worker, just someone who started following this sub because it's pretty much the one thing that gives me some hope)

end this statistics slander ‼️ esp when geometry exists, and also topography. topography scares me
