my mom. she wouldn’t be able to live with one of her children being gone before her. me being gone would make her gone too. sometimes it scares me that my reason for sticking around isn’t myself, but her being the reason seems to be enough
tomorrow and wednesday are the last days for hearing back from UCD. i’m still only confirmed on the waitlist, so i haven’t heard a yes or a no. i really haven’t seen people get admitted from the waitlist, just denied. so do we think it is a good or bad thing that i haven’t heard back yet so close to the final date?
yeah i’m from a cc here in california! my gpa wasn’t the highest but i did a lot of volunteer and humanitarian work as well and wrote a really strong waitlist essay so i’m hoping that will get me an acceptance. my only concern is whether or not i had upgraded my spring estimated grades before submitting, i’m almost certain i submitted it as being IP but I’m thinking it wouldn’t be too much of an issue? guess we will find out by wednesday
hey same haha! also, you can update your grades currently. i just did about a week ago. mine were IP but i changed them to actual grades. go to your waitlist confirmation page and click application update form link.
thank you, i’ve been trying to do that! when i go to report grade changes it says that my most recent application submission was may 15 and that i’ll be able to update it once my coursework is processed by their office 🤔. i wonder if that is some sign that i’m going to be put on a continued waitlist since it hasn’t been processed yet and my acceptance is determined on whether or not they have room for me (my major is psych/socio) or rejected lol. either way i’m relieved to hear someone else put their spring grades as IP!
this is so sick! i love seeing torso pieces where the belly button doesn’t mess it all up. the shading and pattern makes it look like it’s apart of it all. i didn’t even see it at first!! so dope!
i’ve worked in food service for the last 5 years and a thought i have at least once a day at the register is “why do people not just make fake 1s? no one checks 1s.” like why wouldn’t you just make tons of fake 1s and even 5s then pay for cash for everything?? no one checks small bills, so you won’t even have to make your fakes perfect down to every detail. idk sounds like a perfect plan to me
hear me out on this: chris brown. not saying he deserves less hate, because he does genuinely suck and is abusive, i just think it’s not proportional to the other abusive celebrities. like people are very open about their deep hatred for chris brown but then continue to cheer for an NFL team with wife beaters on it, watch movies with abusive actors (Mel Gibson, Steven Seagal, Sean Penn,....), listen to the music of abusive artists, etc etc. I just think that people who are so open about their hate for chris brown the girlfriend beater should be aware of other celebrities instead of just repeating a headline people magazine can’t let go of.
Perhaps I am too cynical, but I wonder if she apologized to make herself feel better, or because she actually meant it and regretted her actions. Either way, I'm glad you managed to work through it. That is an awful experience to undergo. Was she perhaps in AA or something like that and doing a ninth step? What became of the boyfriend?
i don’t exactly know what lead to her apologizing. seemed genuine, but who knows. i’m still friends with bf. we weren’t friends for about two years after all this, but we couldn’t avoid each other since we have the same friend group, so we chose to be friends. he’s married now and i don’t think his wife is very close to his mom, but i don’t really know.
this is a kinda off answer, but i feel like sharing. when i was 16/17(f) i was in a ridiculously abusive relationship with a 19(m) year old. he was joining the air force and signed me as his beneficiary (??? i don’t know if that’s the right term, i was a child lol). in order for that to work and me to be on his military benefits and get money for college, we had to be married or “planning” (i remember specifically it didn’t say engaged, but “planning” on marriage). i felt really trapped obviously so i couldn’t chicken out. about two months later for christmas, he buys me a ring and we agree to tell everyone it’s a “promise” ring since i was so young (he was turning 20 the next month). we agreed this was an engagement ring, and we would get married on my 18th birthday the following november. the abuse got extremely bad after this, now with “you’re my fiancé and you will do as i say” added in. absolutely no one knew about the abuse, the engagement, the plan to marry, or even that i was going to start receiving his military benefits. it was a mess, but the following summer i confessed everything to my parents and asked for their help to get out of it. needless to say, he’s not around anymore and i am not married
one time when i was 13 my normal doctor was out of town, but i needed a sports physical, so we got scheduled with the soonest available one. i ended up going to some guy which was already weird for me since i had a the same woman doctor since i was a baby. during my exam, he noticed my pulses didnt match (or so he said), as in my wrist and neck pulse weren’t the same. so he said he needed to compare one to the pulse in my groin. i was so uncomfortable, but my mom was with me so i knew it couldn’t go bad. so i’m laying on my back with this man doctor’s hand in my underwear and the other on my neck, and he has the nerve to say “don’t worry i’m not peaking” and wink at me. my mom distraughtly said “excuse me??” and he said “she’s not my type”. we left without completing the physical and now i refuse to see male doctors, dentists, optometrists, etc.
not necessarily the vag itself, but being told by medical professional that the only solution to your crazy cramps is getting in a form of birth control. are we sure it’s not anything else? are we all positive there’s nothing wrong? will these hormone pills make it worse?
This is another example of countless examples I have seen that parents sheltering their kids from the world is incredibly stupid. You can not shelter someone forever and eventually they will enter a world completely unprepared and fail or struggle severely in it.
my mom always says, “you can try to shelter your kids from trucks but they’re going to find out what it is when one hits them” referring to basically that you are either going to teach your child about something, or they are going to found out in a setting they aren’t intended to find it out, ie school, social media, etc. this post is a perfect example of that.
my cat was found abandoned, and developed some unidentifiable permanent injury to his lower back right above his tail. we never could find out if it was his hips, joints, something internal, who knows. every time someone touches him there, he yelps and hits you with his paw. i would simply walk around and scratch every cats back until i got slapped by my oliver
just got a scorpion by her! she is the sweetest <3 not sure if you’re the only spider she’s done on the belly, but she talked about one and said it was one of her favorites!!
Noah and the Ark. ALL animals two by two? All the animals in the world fit in the ark two by two. We know for a fact that there are many more species left to be discovered in the world.
i once had an ecology professor talk about noah’s ark when talking about evolution. he put up pictures of basically “origin” animals, like a weird dog looking thing, and say “all dogs,wolves, and other types of animals in the family is believed to have come from this one species”, and did it for several animal species like cats and rodents and such. basically he used noah’s ark as an example that there hasn’t always been a large plethora of animals, it was once a small amount and evolution led to speciation. he didn’t make it a religious thing, but concluded with “i’m sure at one point, you could fit two of every species on a boat because there at one point had to of been a very small amount of them”. he also added that birds and any water animal didn’t need to be saved so that cut it back. the example helped me pass that unit on evolution so i guess it works haha
i am in the party that believes two things: 1. adam and eve had a loooot more children than mentioned in the bible, and there were loooots of children/incest grandchildren running around before the cain and abel story happened, and 2. God never stopped creating people in the beginning. he created adam and eve first and put them in charge, but i think he put others other places too. i have no theology or anything to back that up, i just feel like it makes more sense. also me believing these things doesn’t affect my faith and i’m sure God isn’t mad lol
Ross Lynch in My Friend Dahmer. I remember watching him on disney channel and hating his acting, then seeing him in youtube videos and hating him there too lol. i was blown away in his ability to play the young creepy dahmer.
i watched a leader in a large church in my area get attacked for months after she said she would have terminated her pregnancy if she knew of her now seven year old daughter’s condition before she gave birth. 2 days after the birth, their daughter went brain dead and is now in a vegetable state requiring 24-hour medical intervention—every second of her life is attached to tubes, unable to communicate or acknowledge any understanding, and in a wheel chair. it really hurt me to see her be attacked for wanting to experience pain rather than her daughter. she outwardly said she wouldve rather gone through the pain of an abortion than know her child would be in pain for years on end. it was definitely hard for her to say, but she said her truth and was attacked for it.
my mom. she wouldn’t be able to live with one of her children being gone before her. me being gone would make her gone too. sometimes it scares me that my reason for sticking around isn’t myself, but her being the reason seems to be enough
wait no let them talk i think they’re onto something

I like guns
my grandpa always says “keep going farther left so you can get your guns back”

omg i’m a psyc major too! there will be room for us, i believe it!
this is so sick! i love seeing torso pieces where the belly button doesn’t mess it all up. the shading and pattern makes it look like it’s apart of it all. i didn’t even see it at first!! so dope!
Counterfeit it

Well, the important thing is you did move on from it, not for her, but for you. I'm glad.
thank you :)
I had a guy take a knife to my vagina last year when I tried to break off the relationship. Wounds got infected up near my cervix. It was awful.
crazy random question that has nothing to do with me wanting to torture and kill someone for you... what’s this guy’s address? super random lol i know

I don’t want to get too existential here, so I’m gonna go a more literal route.
