Sister going to college quotes

I was planning on applying to only hbcu’s but it would probably be a good idea to apply to some pwi’s too. Do y’all have any good pwi’s you think I should look into? I really don’t know any since my college research has been focused on only hbcu’s.
I tried Google but I only seen low acceptance rate colleges and my gpa is not super good for those. I want to be either a chemistry major or a business major btw.
I really want to go to an hbcu so this is just for backup I guess

To quote the great philosopher Michael Scott "Where are all the hot people?" But forreal any other 22+ single person having a hard time meeting people. Downtown seems to only have early 20 year Olds who can be little shits sometimes. Any other locations to go to? looking for a true sweetheart . I’m pretty young but I wouldn’t consider myself to be a little shit hahaha , and uh no this post is 100% completely original..

Cheated on my husband a few years ago, he caught me and reconciliation process took several months. I cheated because he wasn’t there for me when I miscarried as his dad had passed away. Our relationship was in a bad place.
One of his terms was I wasn’t allowed to go on any overnight trip without him. He loves me and has forgiven me, but this is just something I have to be okay with if I want to keep him.
I have my girlfriends from college and all of us are decidedly the bridesmaids for each other’s weddings and I was the one to marry first. Now they are all having bachelorette trips and I can’t go :(
I’ve missed two such trips and one of them is getting married this summer and I really want to go. My husband wouldn’t let me and I know that so I won’t ask him.
I’m just struggling right now with some anger and sadness and I know it’ll go away, but it just hurts me a lot that despite my being fully committed to him now he wouldn’t just let me.

Heya. I've a long story so I'll try to keep it brief as much as possible.
Got into IT. Got depressed for a while due to mental health issues and stuff, was failing classes and all of that. Recently got my drive for my life back, currently I'm a college sophomore nearing my associate's degree with a community college, and I've raised my GPA to 2.9.
I was wondering; what should I do right now? What sort of things can I do to better qualify myself and recuperate from the dark pit of darkness that had encroached upon my mortal soul? I'm already guaranteed admission to a local Uni through a program, so no worries there, but I guess I wanted to know if there's any other career pathway objectives I should try to do while I await my final semester.
I'm amidst doing the Google Career Certification that I began ages ago which I picked back up, and I'm about 55% of the way done with it. I know I should go for the CompTIA A+, but are there anything else I should do? I was also considering looking a bit more into the CS side of things; I quite enjoy writing in Python and playing around with SQL, and I'm honestly interested in it quite a bit. Would skills in that field be beneficial for my resume and my general skillset?
Anything is appreciated. Thank you <3

I struggle really bad with stubling my words, the faster I talk or the more tired I am where I mean one thing but another word or gibberish comes out. I have a lot of trouble reading books to where I will read the same line twice or my brain just shuts off and I don't absorb anything unless there is maximum interest. I went to speech therapy as a child and it helped me with reading out loud but it still makes me really anxious because I still get stuck sometimes and can't always keep a good flow with my words. When listening to someone talk it sounds like English but my brain has a delayed response before I understand. I cannot concentrate on someone talking to me if I'm reading or listening to someone, AAAnd my writing is terrible even when I write slowly. I've tried learning different languages but for SOME REASON I will try to say a sentence and group 2 languages together. I also say words out of order in sentences if that makes any sense... With all of this plus major procrastination I've always had trouble with any education system I've gone through and it sucks because I want to go to college but I have no idea how to get over everything enough to get passing grades.

Hello! I am an incoming freshman this upcoming school year and I have passed all the college entrance exams I took (two of which are from Big 4). I have been pressured to study hard from kindergarten to elementary by my parents which led me to pressure myself during my junior and senior high school. I have grades ranging from 96-98 and an average enough for me to snatch high honors consecutively for the past two years of my senior high school and is regarded as one of the best students among my batch commended by my teachers. However, even after the accolades and achievements I have, after passing all my cets, my parents suddenly want me to study in a school near us and a course I do not want to take (that school does not offer my dream course). It feels unfair that they want to do that when we have talked not long ago that I would study in my second option (my first choice, I passed my dream school and course but they said it was too far and expensive) but with my second option, they’re okay with me going since the price range is lower than my first choice. Now they’re saying I should just study in a school I don’t even want with a course I don’t like. It feels like I have wasted my years trying to achieve things I thought would be useful for college but ended up being useless. Sana pala kung alam ko lang na ganon pala tung mangyayari sana hindi na ako nagpakahirap mag-aral na sagad sa buto to the point where I breakdown. Para saan pa yung paghihirap ko all those years if they’re throwing it all to nothing

Male or female doesn’t matter but 19+ and I’m just looking for cool people to hangout with. Probably just be friends online first and if we get along then eventually meet in person. I got some friends but just looking to meet more people. I’m down to introduce you to my friend group if we get along. I’m into playing guitar or videogames or sports. I’m an engineering college student. I like to go out and just have fun spontaneous experiences. I love nature and hiking or trying different restaurants. I’m a chill person. I also enjoy deep convos. lmk if ur interested thanks.

I've been with my girlfriend (22f) for 2 and a half years now.
I posted a few days ago about an incident, and was judged harshly, but I listened and apologized. (In summary, I took longer talking to my friend a few nights ago, and it intruded on plans I had with her). It got me thinking how immature I was and how much I was hurting her, so I told her I needed time for me to improve and I would help find her a new apartment. She was all over the place, confused, crying, and said this was an extreme reaction to her just wanting me to acknowledge why she was hurt over what I did.
After leaving for a day we talked things out and decided I could work on growing while still together. She hasn't really been herself, I know it will take time, but she admits she feels insecure and paranoid since what I did.
My friend was graduating college. The ceremony is a 4 hour drive from our town. I told him I would go and due to the long drive I would likely stay into Sunday at his place. My girlfriend seemed upset. She told me she knew I should go, it was just tough after everything that has happened. I told her she was still a main priority to me. I could tell she wanted to say something but didn't. It resulted in an argument and us not sharing much of a goodbye this morning.
Now I'm having a good time with my friend and was proud to see him walk across the stage. I kept my girlfriend updated on everything. Her messages have been shorter.
To be honest, I don't know what to do. My friend means the world to me, but I also love my girlfriend. I think it's possible to love and prioritize them equally, I just feel she makes it harder.
AITB?

Its was 2:26 one night.For some reason i couldnt find myself tired or able to fall asleep. It was the weekend anyways so it really wasnt a big deal.! didnt really have plans tommorow except going shopping with my friends.i mainly just stayed up watching tik tok but since my parents room was right next to mines and everyones was asleep i had my light off door closed and i was just on my phone.Everything around me was pitch black.As im scrolling i hear my mom talking downstairs.l think nothing of it.But then i realized.Everyones asleep?That cant be her?! I brush it off cause im tired anyways so my minds just playing tricks on me.l began falling asleep and right before i fell into a deep sleep i hear my mom screaming for help downstairs in the kitchen.i rush downstairs through my dark house, but realize, once again.My moms asleep.every light is off.Including the kitchen light. there i stood in the middle of the kitchen, alone, in the dark. As i was about to walk back upstairs i feel something, someone, staring. At this point im scared and creeped out. trying not to look behind me but i just keep getting even more nervous and creeped out when i got up the stairs i turned the hallway light on from the top and nobody is behind me, but all the way down the hallway, where the balcony door is,i seen a tall, black figure with a hat.i just stared. After being in shock for so long the figure began knocking on the glass door. I just stared.It seemed like the longer i stared the louder the knocking became. After staring for what felt like 15 minutes i snapped out of the fear and ran to my parents room to tell them.Only to find out, when i entered the room, a stuffed animal and a note reading, “Hey sweetie,me and your father didnt want to wake you so late but we took a shift to help out at the hospital tonight, we need the extra money for some of the bills. We should be back no later than 10:30 am tommorow morning,i left the key underneath the plant outside the front door for when you leave tommorow morning with your friends. Sorry for the short notice love.We love you, stay safe, call us if you need anything." They were gone.What was i supposed to do?i dropped the note on the floor and cried, when all of the sudden i hear the front door creak open.Whatever,and whoever it was, was inside my house.The footsteps climbed up the stairs as i ran to my older sisters room (who had been in collage for a bit so she wasnt home) and locked the door and hid in the closet.i heard the footsteps reach the top step and stop. I listened out for the footsteps but heard nothing else for the next 20 minutes. felt a little better and calmed down at that moment.I needed to get a hold of my mom but I didnt have my phone and was too scared to get up and get it from my room.Then i heard the footsteps reach the room i was in.Whoever it was tried to open the door but as soon as they realized it was locked.They began banging, kicking,scratching,and screaming.The screams sounded like a mans scream.I cried silently in the closet until it stopped.The voice suddenly said."josie.i know your in there.Come out. im not here to hurt you." and it followed with a deep, stomach twisting laugh.But that wasnt what was important.It was that they knew my name. An hour or so had passed by but the figure was still outside the door making no noises.then i heard my mothers and fathers couces call my name but i knew it wasnt them. Eventually the figure left when sunrise came.l ended up falling asleep in the closet.When i woke up i checked the whole house.Nothing.i called my mom and her and my father rushed home.I told her everything that happned.My mother called the cops and told them everything as well.We were watching the news later on that day,and we seen news about a local skinwalker breaking into houses.Suddenly a call from the police station.They explained to my mom they had caught the guy. He had been stalking me for years making plans to murder me and keep me “all to himself” after that my parents a left me at home alone nor did I look at that glass window again, thinking he will appear and wined up keeping me for himself… successfully this time.

1 (27f) have been dealing with my bf's (29m) crazy ex (22f) for a week now, she's living in her car down the street with her baby.
-lil backstory, they dated for almost a year, she got pregnant a few months into the relationship and they were fine until at one appointment she had a std test done and tested positive, he went to a clinic to get one done and his results were negative, it later came out she her 'cousin' wasn't really a cousin at all but someone she would see when bf would travel for work, the broke up and he's was lc with her until baby was born and he got a dna test, (he's the father) it's been over a year since this went down.
We known each other since HS and only stated to get serious last year. So I know the drama between him and her, especially since his sister (38f) is the godmother to his baby and loves to gossip. He's been co parenting with her for almost a year now, and when she first found out he was dating she lost her shit, threatened to khs, ended up having baby 2 weeks before her due date cuz of her mentalstateand stress, and has harassed me for months after with her family calling me a homewreaker even tho he told them they haven't been together since they day he found out she was cheating.

I recently found out i am pregnant, and we told a few family members, but I guess they let it slip during a family event, cus she had another freak out and has been acting crazier than usual with him and now we are here

She surprised us last week by telling my bf she was going to be living in her car, and that he should wake up and go back to his real family, that their baby need their father. He told her that he'll always be their for his child but she needed to realize that their baby needs be back home. Since she's been here a lot of people in the neighborhood have reported her to the police, because the baby's constant crying while in her car, the police won't do anything since its not that serious if she meets baby's needs She won't let us give baby a bath unless I'm gone from our home. She admitted to him she doesn't bathe baby until they looks visibly dirty, when we first bathed baby, they went a week without a bath and left a ring of dirt in the tub. She buys big daipers for baby so she doesn't have to change him regularly only when daiper is full andshe doesn't have to leave the car to throw them away every few hours. She throws a fit if the food my bf gives her is something i cooked or touched, She asked two separate times to use our bathroom and both of those times she destroyed or threw away a lot of my stuff when bf was with the baby.
Its getting colder at night so I'm worried of the baby getting sick. I've been told by sil that the baby struggles to gain weight so i wonder is she's able.to feed him properly while living in her car.
The police won't do anything, if I take this to cps will it help or make it worse?
My bf has tried to take baby but she's really good at manipulating the situation and has almost gotten us in trouble because she hates me being near their baby

So recently I have realized that people don't know how to have an open conversation on some serious topics. The stuff happening in today's world and just in general that is something that should be and has to be talked about. This came up because of a conversation that I had with a person that will be going to the same college as me. It was about something that is in the news a lot but the conversation wasn't a two sided conversation but a one sided one and it kinda annoyed me. My friend who was opposed to one of the people in this conversation and she got banned from the place that we were having the conversation by the person who was the head of this conversation. I am not putting a lot of details because of this topic but I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

I'm 20 years old and have no friends. I wake up, go to work, go home, chill a little and go to sleep. It's hard to meet people when I'm not in college. To make it even worse my town is on the smaller end so there aren't many places to meet people other than the local college and bars. It gets lonely a lot of the time. I miss going out at night, I miss having a sesh with someone. Life was so much better a year ago.

Now it’s just me, my brother, my dog, her cat, and her chickens, in this paid for house with their paid for vehicles and mine and my brothers vehicles.
It’s makes me most angry, how my mom just didn’t get a fair shake. She loved dad, don’t get me wrong, but he was thrifty to the point of being a killjoy and the only joy he had in life was paying bills and counting the money that was left. When he died, the household bills were slashed by over half, and her monthly income almost tripled, as she was going to get his benefits and pension.
Her sister screwed her out of inheritance 3 years ago, and we’ve been flighting for her end in probate that long. When dad died, it made that issue seem a little less stress worthy, and we started focusing on what all she could do with her new monthly income.
She wanted to go to Florida, and take my dog to see the ocean. She wanted to go to pigeon forge and gatlinburg while her sister who stole all the money is traveling around with her rich pro baseball pitcher-turned-coach-wife cousin, who’s also my moms cousin but wouldn’t have shit to do with her.
Instead, 24 days after my dad died, her leg stint that was installed last October failed, and she went to the emergency room on the advice of the Dr who did the surgery, and they admitted her, and they operated the next day.
Couldnt fix the stint or get the clot out with the robot, so they did it manually, but still couldn’t fix the stint. So they did a bypass from left right leg to left leg. Then they said that wasn’t doing what they’d hoped, so they were considering amputating her leg.
Then she started swelling and bleeding. They put tubes everywhere to pull fluid off of her stomach. She howled about her stomach hurting. They thought she was constipated. I informed them that happened last year when she had the stint and was hospitalized for it. Then she had a bowl movement that had blood in it. Then they went to operate to see what was making her stomach hurt and gave a bloody stool. Well her colon basically fell apart, they said, so now they were gonna remove it and leave her with a stoma. Then she laid there a few days, and her vitals went weak, and they took her back again to cut her open to see what’s going on, and he small intestine died as well.
The doctors and nurses all along told me she was better than she looked and all her numbers were going the right way. But her little body just couldn’t take all that punishment.
I watched my mom walk out to her car and get in, relatively healthy, but going to the er to get checked out, and was admitted and stayed exactly 21 days, no food, no water, and taking life saving drugs that apparently kill your guts by cutting off blood to them. Those 3 weeks had to be hell and I feel guilty. I feel guilty I didn’t take her earlier to see her dr.
And I’m mad. I’m mad that she didn’t get to have some bit of enjoyment in life after dad died, with some new disposable income. She got one SSI payment of his, and one pension payment while she was in the hospital, and my brother and I are living off that at the moment.
Life just ain’t fucking fair or just at all.

First of all, I am a pansexual cisgender woman. I know this looks like I have the upper hand, but trust me, I don’t.
I dated this person a couple months ago and some things felt off; however, she always played the victim card, the heartbroken, the innocent trans woman who only needed a chance in love. And me, as the underdog advocate that I am, fell for that.
I’m conscious that being a trans person is by itself already a difficult process and that you have to put up with a lot of shit that society gives you. But it’s precisely the respect that I have for your journey that motivates me to do this.
While I was dating her, sometimes she let a sexist joke or two slide. You know, like, “I wanted to be a woman, but now I don’t know if I want to be a 30-year-old woman.“ “I didn’t want to be a girl when I was a kid because while I was playing videogames, my sisters were helping out my mom in the kitchen.”
You know, sexist jokes.
But one day, we were going to order food and she said, “Why would I drink pineapple juice? Are you going to swallow my cum or what?”
And that immediately rang the alarm. She said I didn’t have a sense of humor. She said it was my fault because I took things too personal and if I was queer-er, I would actually just laugh and let it go.
We didn’t last long. She still couldn’t get over her ex (allegedly). She spoke about other women she has dated and it was super off for me. Sex was completely one-sided. She was extremely codependent. She spoke mean things about me with her friends while we were still dating!
I tried to break up with her multiple times. She even threatened me to unalive herself. She shared she had done it in the past and she said that she would do it again if I left her.
It was the worst! I was miserable.
Once we broke up, the real horror began. She started to use me for reassurance in a very twisted way. She moved on immediately with a former ex (she only ever has exes in her radar), and she started to be all like,
“Oh, please, when you go out with new people try not to talk a lot about me. Like, I know you’re still into me, but--”
“I know I was the love of your life.”
“I know you so damn well. I know you are not as happy as you were with me with this new person that you’re dating.”
Etc., etc., etc.
All of this, she told me while being involved with someone else, the ex that she hoovered back in when we broke up.
Next thing I know, something fun happened. I met a person who accused her—before her transition, when she was a man—of abuse.
It’s really weird because they two have friends in common and after she made the accusation, no one believe her. They chose to believe him. So he was a victim. He chose to start his transition not shortly after.
I have been having these ideas in my head trying to make sense of all of it. I know for a fact that she is emotionally violent. I know for a fact that she is a compulsive liar. I know for a fact that even though she is a woman, she has kept the worse aspects of being a man within her personality.
There’s also this thing—she is not friends with straight nor gay men anymore. She has one bisexual friend who identifies as a man and that’s it. And she envies him thoroughly. But she is not friends with men, really.
All of her friends are female and either dated her as a man or now as a woman. She always stays friends with the exes. Good friends. She still talks to them. Mostly, about her new conquest. All she has to tell is about her relationships.
When we broke up, she pretended to do the same. She wanted to stay friends and she started to sell this story where I was the confused ✨cisgender woman✨ since she is now dating a non-binary person.
She almost had a panic attack when I blocked out of my Instagram. She wanted to still see my Stories, see my content. Not because she wanted to keep me in her life but rather as a way of control. That way, she is in control of the narrative. And she was making sure that we are friends, so I wouldn’t expose her?
I am also kind of a closeted writer and while we were dating, I would tell her that I will write a book about our romance. When we were dating, this excited her. Yet, when we broke up, she bluffed, “Oh, I know that writing a book about me is the only natural thing to do after being with me,” but then she warned me, “But you cannot write a book about a villain who is a trans because people will use this as fuel to keep on hating the community.” How would she know she would be the villain?
I think this person is evil. And I want to understand why. I want to out her—not much for me but for the 23-year-old she is dating now. And I want none of this to hace a negative effect on the trans community because she is just 1 fucking person out of millions.
Any input could be of use! Thank you so much.

Me (20MtF) and my boyfriend (25FtM) believe that I am emotionally unavailable. How can I be more mentally present and make him feel like a priority in my life?
My boyfriend and I have been together for just over a year, and are getting ready to move into an apartment together next month. I have somewhat severe ADHD, and I believe it is partially to blame for my inability to make him genuinely happy despite us both being in love with each other. When I make new friends, I often fixate on talking to them and spending time with them excessively, and this has at times taken away from time him and I can spend together. This started at the beginning of our relationship and has led to me stopping any attempts to meet new people until we get this sorted out, because we don't get much time together and I wanted to stop cutting into our time together with a random person who I don't actually care about. However, I still do things with my roommates some nights, but it usually turns out that that particular night was the night he wanted to spend with me, but I didn't ask if that's what he wanted to do, so he's just upset and says that I don't care about spending time with him and don't take our relationship seriously.
He works full time at a retail position and I have significantly more free time as a (now just graduated) college student. So I try to prioritize his days off to see him, but I tend to forget to ask about specifics, leading to misunderstandings. I told him last night (Friday) that I was going to head home to my house that night so I could continue packing for when we move, which should have been fine because he worked at 9 this morning (Saturday) anyways. Then tomorrow (Sunday), he has the whole day off so I can come over tonight and spend the night and all of tomorrow with him. However I didn't check this plan with him and it turned out that was not what he wanted me to do and was upset that I went home last night, leading to him texting me that he doesn't want to see me on Sunday either because he's bothered by how little time I attempt to spend with him. I clearly know that very clear communication is needed in this relationship, but my ADHD makes it difficult to remember to do this.
When we do get time together, we have days where I am fully mentally present and these are absolutely wonderful. Neither of us have ever been as in love with someone else as we are with each other. But on other days, my ADHD flares up even when I take my medication, and I end up being mentally completely distant from him during that time. This makes him feel like he isn't good enough to get my attention and is taken extremely personally. This breaks my heart because I of course don't want him to feel this way. I love him and love spending time with him, but my ways of interacting with him differ on certain days and don't always give him what he needs to be happy in our relationship. This leads him to feel like even when we do get time together, that a large amount of it is wasted doing nothing that is productive to our relationship or strengthening our bond as partners. He says he's been closer emotionally with past partners after a month than we currently are after a year. I reassure him that I have intentions to work on these things and I genuinely do try, but things haven't been completely fixed yet and it leads to recurring arguments over the same things.
So, sorry if any of that was unclear or rambling. What I'm wondering is a couple of things: What can I do to work on my emotional availability and being mentally present in our relationship and our time together, if anything? And, considering that this will take a decent amount of time to fully fix, what can I do to reassure him in the meantime and prove to him that I'm making progress? Thanks for reading <3

Girlfriend and I have been together for 8 months now I adore and love her to death and would be willing to do just about anything for her and her family + friends. Sadly the last five months of my life I’ve encountered hardships completely out of my control and have gotten knocked down over and over again. From losing two jobs cause of two car engines blowing up on me, parents divorcing and even to my cousin taking his own life. Recently I’ve been stuck with my gf for the last month or so tryna find a job close to my house I can walk to till I can pull out a loan for a vehicle. Now I’m in a place where even I find it hard to connect with my gf. I try so hard even through these financial struggles to put her first or still take her out for dinner and clean around her apartment and mine as well even tho the mess is normally coming from her and leave her notes and have tried showing valiant effort in even helping her friends and family when they are around with things. My girlfriend has always been a person to where she can never really find interest in things she’s never had a hobby or anything interest her now that I think about even the thought of me trying to show her something new makes her upset and leads to a fit, most recently Parts unknown by Anthony Bourdain which I thought she’d enjoy for her love of food and travel and sadly now even conversation with me seems like a task that she can not do without looking down at her phone and going on tik tok or instantly mentally checking out on the nearest speckle on dust on the wall. It’s made me want a lot of space and alone time recently which I’m all honesty I feel bad for feeling this way especially when she asks me “do you like me still?” After I got somewhat annoyed at her refusal to put our phones down and finish our conversation we were having. Granted I understand the importance of alone time and for her as well I know she can feel the same so I’ve offered many times to give her space for the day and she refuses to let me to and almost gets upset. I feel severely neglected and I barely feel like I’m dating my girlfriend anymore and it’s starting to exhaust me. I’ve brought up similar talking points as this before which have led to her looking at me like I’m stupid for feeling any bit of neglect and also brought up how she is overly rude over little things such as throwing a fit over her sister wanting to eat at a restaurant my gf has never been to before for her graduation dinner and when I call her out since the beginning of the relationship she has always gotten angry and upset and tells me how I’m wrong and I’m starting to feel like it’s all my fault when at times I know it objectively isn’t and I’ve worked hard on the old cliche of happy wife happy life which is starting to exhaust me and I truly feel confused and wrong for wanting space and wanting change from her for so long now with her not making any sort of effort. I understand neither of us are emotionally mature as we will be one day but with her I feel exhausted begging for some form of intimacy from conversation or even cooking and dancing to some music. I was brought to tears over thinking about how happy she once was even just walking around Costco with me as corny as that sounds and now I’m somewhat lost because I feel like I can’t have a mature and healthy conversation about our feelings together without her shutting down emotionally.

Her sister, Fliss, thinks Lottie is making a terrible mistake, and will do anything to stop her. But Lottie is determined to say “I do,” for better, or for worse. Read more

When I was 15, my family moved from one corner of the country to the other. I had a couple of rough years and got depressed. Didn't leave the house, no friends, a lot of sleep, zero will or motivation to do anything. I could barely go to school. I tried to end it when I was 17.
The only person to notice anything was amiss was this classmate who didn't say anything untill second year we were in class together. I also had a small crush on him but I don't think he ever noticed. I didn't notice until I looked back.
He just asked me if everything was ok, and when I said no he said (and I quote) "yeah, I realized that". We never spoke about it ever again.
He didn't "save me" or shit like that, but knowing I wasn't alone helped. We were never friends or anything like that. Just schoolmates, but I always knew that if I actually asked him for help, he would try to help me. And when he was in a hard place because of something personal, I told him he could talk with me if he wanted.
We never acknowledged that either.
At the end, I changed schools for my last year because of the teachers and never talked to him again.
Until tonight. I was talking with a friend earlier and she told me to send him a message. Kind of shoot my shot, because the worst that could happen was for him to not answer me or tell me no.
I sent him a message to see if he was back in the city and asked him if he wanted to grab a coffe together since I was back for a little bit too.
He told me that he wasn't in the city but asked me if I were ok or if I needed anything.
I mean, I know it's probably something normal that people who are contacted out of the blue by old acquaintances say, but it still brought back old feelings and I feel nostalgic or something like that and I kind of miss him.
Also, he seemed happy to answer, and probably is just the text tone, but it made me feel good.
Doesn't matter that we were nothing to each other.

Let me start by saying that hygeine issues are incredibly sensitive to talk about and I really don't want to potentially ruin a relationship with my sister.
This spring is a busy one for our family, sisters college graduation, my wedding, all in a matter of a couple weeks. My fiance and I went down the night before her graduation to hang out and planned on taking her out for a celebratory dinner. We get there and her bf is there as well, no big deal we'll add one more for dinner. I notice a strong BO smell, as soon as we walk into her apartment. We walk to the restaurant and she asks about the wedding and how things are shaping up now that we are in the final weeks. Then her bf opens his mouth and starts dramatically whining that she's asked him to get a nicer outfit, mind his manners around our family, and he was acting like this was a HUGE inconvenience to him. My sister just put her head down and I said everything will be fine and I changed the subject. We ran a few other errands with them that night too. My fiance even asked if I smelled it when we had a moment alone. When we got in my car to head home after her ceremony, the BO smell in my vehicle was so unbelieveably overpowering.
For our wedding we are opting for I believe it's called a kings table where our bridal party members will get to have their SOs sit with us too. I am a bit concerned because my fiance has 2 siblings in the bridal party, and his family will ALWAYS let their opinions be known no matter the time or place, and I have another family member who is a bit of a gossip so I am worried that the day could turn into people talking about my sister and her BF and embarassing her.
I feel like he was also super distrespctful towards her request for a nicer outfit and just being a nice guest since he has never really met our familly and making an effort to "fit in" since weddings are a dressier event. I understand that being asked to dress differently than your own personal style could be seen as offensive. So I feel like I am just so stuck. I don't know if I should address the BO it or just let it be. I don't want to come across as a controlling bridezilla, but at the same time I don't want to hear people talking about him stinking at our wedding? Any advice?

Hi all, I recently took my dog to the vet for coughing. When observing his heart, she determined he has a murmur. Because of this, they took additional x-rays and did bloodwork, and through these tests they determined that he is suffering from congestive heart failure.
Now, they are recommending an echocardiogram to confirm this, which needs to be done by a veterinary cardiologist. I do truly want to know what is going on with my dog, but the figure I was quoted with is a bit pricey. Taking a look at google with how much they typically cost, the cost is average. But, I want to do my financial due diligence, and see if anyone has gotten this completed for their dogs locally, and how much it cost. I appreciate any insight anyone has to offer for this
If you are part of the vet office I went to and recognize me by my post, please understand this is nothing personal, I'm just trying to navigate this difficult decision with the information I have on hand.

Cheated on my husband a few years ago, he caught me and reconciliation process took several months. I cheated because he wasn’t there for me when I miscarried as his dad had passed away. Our relationship was in a bad place.
One of his terms was I wasn’t allowed to go on any overnight trip without him. He loves me and has forgiven me, but this is just something I have to be okay with if I want to keep him.
I have my girlfriends from college and all of us are decidedly the bridesmaids for each other’s weddings and I was the one to marry first. Now they are all having bachelorette trips and I can’t go :(
I’ve missed two such trips and one of them is getting married this summer and I really want to go. My husband wouldn’t let me and I know that so I won’t ask him.
I’m just struggling right now with some anger and sadness and I know it’ll go away, but it just hurts me a lot that despite my being fully committed to him now he wouldn’t just let me.

So basically, I (20M) met this girl (19F) at our church in college about 2 months ago. We became friends pretty instantly, especially getting to know each other on a trip much of the church went on for spring break right afterwards. It's a pretty tight-knit community so we've naturally seen/talked to each other quite a bit since then, however for the past month/month and a half we've definitely grown extra close. Basically we'll dm on insta bantering about random stuff, seem to always end up next to each otherunning into each other, and haven't actually deliberately hung out but have spent time one on one a couple times after running into each other while studying. She did want to go to an orchestra concert just with me (we both love classical music), though was unable because of school. We definitely flirt in the way of touching, teasing, and an occasional hint/innuendo, and while I think she likes me, it's not a 100% sure thing as again our community is pretty close/interactive, and she is quite affectionate and chipper with a lot of people. There have been a couple though that notice we seem to like each other.
Now, obviously I should make a move and ask her out. However that didn't become obvious to me until those times we studied, and by then, it was about to be finals week and I really needed to not be distracted -- had a very important and difficult grade to get to declare a major (I did :)). She moved out for the summer before my finals were over, so didn't get a chance to ask with us both there (lowkey wish I found that out directly through asking her, but I did through her ig story instead). Now, she only lives 45 minutes away from me by car. However I'm a bit of a doofus and still don't have my driver's license (my hometown is very walkable). I really would like to go pick her up and take her out, but while I really want to get the license anyway, I definitely need at least a few more weeks of practice to pass the test. So, I feel kind of in limbo, as I'm embarrassed about telling her that (she doesn't know) and asking her to come down here for a first date. Just feels unattractive/slightly emasculating for me tbh. However I feel like I can't wait too much longer without risking getting friendzoned... I felt a bit of a boiling point of tension and worry it'll simmer down. Plus, I'm not sure about her summer schedule as she travels a lot. Should I come clean about this to her, ask if she wants to come to me, or wait to get the license and just not talk to her too much in the meantime, or any other option? I can't really tell what she'd think of any of these scenarios. Again I really want to get this license ASAP anyway, but tbh I still suck :(
