TROPHY CASE

I'm studying abroad in Germany two weeks from now: what should I bring? by ktcat28in travel

[–]ktcat28[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thanks! Do you think it is worth bringing my laptop? The first week we'll be staying in a youth hostel, and I'm not sure about the other weeks.

Sure thing! Hopefully I will have some helpful advice after my trip.

Easy classes? by tookiselite12in VirginiaTech

[–]ktcat28 0 points1 point ago

We haven't had any exams, just the weekly quizzes that are all open book and 10 questions. I assume that the final won't be bad because the material is pretty easy. Could depend on the professor though.

Human sexuality online is super easy. I'm currently taking Barrow and all we have to do is read a chapter of the book each week and take a quiz on it, then post in discussion forums. Taking the class in a classroom might be more interesting, but I've enjoyed it just online so far.

How do I calm myself when I get frustrated over homework? by BABYEATER1012in EngineeringStudents

[–]ktcat28 1 point2 points ago

Don't assume everyone else knows what they're doing.. people tend to project the image that they know it all, but in reality that's not the case. Most people who seem to struggle less work on assignments with groups of other students. Maybe that could help you get unstuck so you can keep working and get less frustrated.

[Follow-up] On the issue of the ballerina fired for outing eating disorders. by evil_bunnyin TwoXChromosomes

A lot of it is fake, like forced drama for the TV show. Apparently Abby never had a pyramid until the show. Not saying it's ok, but it just puts things in perspective. That might not really be her teaching philosophy.. maybe she just sold her soul to get on TV.

I 100% agree. I've been a dancer since I was 5, and I'm now 20 and dancing in college and being on stage is what I love. Performing, to me, is kind of the point of dancing. It's an art form that is meant to be shared.

I think I'm having an anxiety attack right now by thenoodlin MMFB

[–]ktcat28 1 point2 points ago

For future reference: sometimes during a panic attack, your brain is getting too much oxygen. One trick that can help is closing one of your nostrils as you breathe. This reduces the amount of oxygen you are getting which should help you calm down. I had terrible panic attacks about five years ago and it took me a while to figure out a few things to help me calm down. Caffeine can definitely trigger panic attacks for people who are prone to them, so something that helps me is to consume it in moderation if possible, and to not drink coffee on an empty stomach! If this is a recurring problem you might want to do some research online to figure out what works for you. Good luck and I hope you feel better.

DAE Have a public restroom that they think of as 'theirs' because seemingly nobody else ever uses it? by oditogrein DoesAnybodyElse

[–]ktcat28 1 point2 points ago

I used to think that the stall on the end in my dorm bathroom was 'my' stall because I never saw anyone else use it.. then I noticed that the toilet paper in that stall ran out more quickly than any of the other stalls so my hopes were crushed..

Dear TwoX, I dress like a bum and need your help. For all of you that are fashion-conscious, I would be grateful for your input! Details insiiiiiiide... by pyoin TwoXChromosomes

[–]ktcat28 11 points12 points ago

Watch What Not to Wear for inspiration for what to wear to work and also general rules about fit and proportion. Once you know what to look for, you don't need to shop at the most expensive stores in order to find things that work for you. That being said, I agree with the others that have said don't be afraid to spend a little more on things so they'll last longer.

Is it just me or are there some really reckless drivers in Blacksburg? by woodenbiplanein VirginiaTech

[–]ktcat28 1 point2 points ago

I saw a picture on pinterest the other day that said "Calling your friend just because you're bored while driving" or something like that and it had been repinned many times. I don't understand how driving, especially for distances less than 10 miles, is that boring.

Great, thank you! I have a busy semester in the spring so I was thinking more of next year anyway. Thanks for the info!

[–]ktcat28 0 points1 point ago

Cool, thanks! What is stopping me from applying is the fact that I don't think any of my math professors know me, and unfortunately I'm in my last math class right now (diff eq). Do you have any advice for what I could do to garner a recommendation? I have a 4.0 in math classes (linear, multi, vector) and I have tutoring experience so the recommendation is the only part that worries me.

Edit: just noticed you also said "or closely related". What kind of a professor could that be?

How did you get the job? i.e. what kinds of experience/recommendations do you need?

"I think Suzanne Collins’ entire concept for these books was 'How can I be the exact opposite of Stephanie Meyer?'" by Orizain TwoXChromosomes

[–]ktcat28 5 points6 points ago

I agree, the outcome was definitely in character and made sense in the context of the story, even though it might not be the outcome I had hoped for. My comment was mostly based on the cartoon. Katniss could still have been a stronger character than Bella if she had been a little more romantic because in my opinion there is a lot more to her character than just her indifference to romance.

The bottom of my heel in my pumps always wear away super quickly - what am I doing wrong? by sfuoin TwoXChromosomes

[–]ktcat28 0 points1 point ago

Hmm.. that's definitely weird then. For $90 I would definitely expect them to last longer. I wonder if you got a defective pair or if it's a problem with the entire line

[–]ktcat28 39 points40 points ago

Katniss definitely is no romantic. The ending of the series clearly shows that. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't finished it, but if you've read it I'm sure you know what I mean. Personally, I think it could have been a little more romantic and still shown that Katniss is a strong person.

[–]ktcat28 4 points5 points ago

Are they cheap shoes? If so it's understandable that they'd break. I had the same problem with a pair from American Eagle. I replaced the heel using a heel replacement (which involved using a dremel to make a hole big enough for the replacement tip.. but that was because my shoes had metal in them). Anyway, here is a set of basic instructions for how to replace it. It worked pretty nicely for me! Hopefully you can save those shoes.
