  1. The point of that was that you don't have to decide right now whether or not you want kids. I know the OP doesn't ever want them, but there were people who said they didn't know. In the end maybe it would stop being about me if you stopped attacking me and expecting me to not say something.
  2. You made this post about me. I was perfectly fine with what I said and I was done. You constantly do this. I can post what I want and where I want to and sorry if you or anyone else dislikes it. That's really a shame but oh well.
  3. She asked if anyone is childless, I am. I posted for that reason, does it really matter?
  4. I don't know that I will, I mean Godforbid I could find out I'm infertile. I could just never get around to it (I really want a family not just a child)... I don't know life's circumstances. I do pick out baby names though, and hopefully I get to be a mom. I don't know what you want from me? What do you want me to say? That I don't think about babies or baby names? I mean why do you constantly feel the need to come for me? Does it bother you that much?
  5. It was jokingly but very adorable. I don't see what's the big deal with picking out baby names (I mean me doing this not he and I, that would be weird) I have been planning my children's names since I was 5. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mom. Some people don't want that and they are entitled to that.
  6. There are also posts from people who aren't sure how they feel. Does it really matter? I mean I am child free right now. I don't know that I will have children. Can you cut me a break for once? There was nothing wrong with my post. Can we please not do this? I mean honestly I was fairly proud of myself for what I said its small improvements.
  7. You always find a way to shit on something huh? If I wanted to be pregnant right now I could be. It isn't hard to find someone to do that. I still pick out baby names, and will continue to until I have a baby. Actually you're going to love this I started talking to this really amazing guy and we were talking about babies... I didn't bring it up he did. The OP didn't say "only people who don't have children by choice answer" so suck it:) Oh and btw I actually pick out baby names during work not on my lunch break:)
  8. I'm 23 and child free, obviously in my past posts you know how desperately I want children but recently I am finally being kind of content with where I am. I am 23 and getting an education and I know I will have the happy little family eventually. I just saw a Time magazine article about women my age getting their eggs frozen so they can implant them later in life (which seems like a good idea but say I got my eggs taken out now who is to say they will make it 10 years?) I guess a lot of super career women are doing it. I personally am going into a field where I think that it's possible to have a good work/family balance but hey you never know I guess. I am kind of youngish in this post and you probably wanted people closer to your age to talk about being childless but I'm 23 and childless too:) which where I live right now is kind of rarish.
  9. I think if you can probe financial hardship possibly, you would likely have to contact the grad school admissions office
  10. Pizza, actually any fattening foods which when you are trying to eat clean it poses a real problem
  11. I do it all the time. I don't see a problem with it
  12. That is true, I could always try out the first year at home and then see how it goes then move out. Hey once I finish the 2 year program I have been thinking a lot about moving a few hours away or out of state (if I find a job in one of the places I would like to live) and so I guess you're right, it isn't like I will be forever at home.
  13. I live about an hour from the school I'm attending, I feel like that is kind of a far drive. See here is where I'm getting worried/confused. Classes are 2 days a week, field placement is 3 days. Some of the FP options are close to my house. One of the ones I am really interested in is about 30 mins south of my hometown where as the school is an hour north. So staying at home would be good because I would be between both places. I am just confused about what to do, I mean everyone said they feel they matured while living away from home and I never got that experience. I don't want to be like 26 still living at home, that poses problems with my social life and maturing. Also I would probably be spending a ton in gas. I really can't decide. Hopefully my school will be making a FB page and I can try to find a roommate it would save me money to live at home though. I would be taking out much less in loans probably just enough to cover books. Which would be maybe 2-3 for both years. I could also try to work part time like as a hostess or a receptionist part time! Even maybe on campus.
  14. Didn't think about that. I am going to school about an hour from home so if I got sick I would likely go to my doctor at home (well not at home but near home). I could still call and find out.
  15. I always carried Victorias Secret big totes and they fit my books and folders. If I was carrying my computer I would wear a backpack though and carry a regular purse or just move the important stuff from my purse (wallet, chap stick etc..) to my backpack. So yeah I will likely get a rolling backpack for grad school. I feel like it will be easier for me.
  16. If I am on my parent insurance I don't have to take their insurance? That is good because I am still covered under my mom's until I'm 26. I am definitely looking for cheap furniture on like CL and stuff lol I need to make a spread sheet to figure out how much I will be spending monthly
  17. This week I talked with the financial advisor about school and my payment options. I found out that my fellowship is for tuition only like it goes directly to tuition which is still great and amazing and I'm so thankful for it! However this means I will still need to take out loans, the problem is I have no idea how much. I am 100% moving out. I need to, I need to get myself together and become a more independent and mature person. While I know it will be more economical to stay home and commute, I just don't think that is best for my mental state lol. I am looking at places about a half hour from campus maybe less. I don't know that I will have a roommate, my friend and I talked about it but she said she loves living alone and I really want to live alone I think. Anyways I really don't want to take out much in loans because I don't want to have to pay back millions lol! My financial advisor said that I will have to pay for books, health insurance (I have health insurance so why do I need theirs? On average how much is theirs?), I will still have a car note even though I am going to try to save up and pay my car off with my job money, I will need furnature for my place, food, gas, rent, and having free money would be nice. I do get a 650 dollar monthly stipend which is great, but how much should I take out? I mean I hoped 20,000 for both years would be good but I don't know. I am just looking for some hints, some ways to find things cheaper or budget or any advice to help me figure out how much to take out. I can live frugally I have done it and still do it but I also need to have money to cover all my expenses.
  18. Match.com is already bumming me out. I took a major step and wrote about my cerebral palsy on my profile, I have gotten like 3 messages. :/ I know I should be more confident because I have cp that's not changing but no one wants me :( so sad already.

      Your post makes me feel very sad. However, I rather have you end up with someone who knows the real you and is fine with it!

      But 3 people are interested, and you've only been on the site a couple of days. I think it is a bit of an exaggeration to claim that *no one* wants you.

      I know I have to like post it I mean in the end I would rather someone know and not accept it and not waste my time. That's just such a big thing to me, it really worries me. That's true though it's only been day. Ughhh I need to slingshot like 50 chill pills down my throat lol

  19. Joining Match.com today... so afraid. What if it doesn't work? What if it does and I meet someone and it doesn't work? What if I meet someone and then it works perfectly but I decide I want to move post graduation? Am I making a good decision?

      What if it works? The only way you'll find out is by giving it a try.

      Even if one relationship doesn't work out, it might help you get a better idea about what you want from future relationships. I don't think I would be as happy with my SO now if I had met him before dating the other people I had in the past. We might not have worked out if I hadn't figured out what I need to NOT expect from a relationship. :) Good luck!

  20. I already got in and paid my deposit. Lol. I mean I don't expect it to be all fun all the time but I definitely think there's time for fun. I know a girl who went back for counseling and she parties but studies and she is graduating in May. I'm sure I can figure it out. Likely I won't be able to party every weekend because I think I have a Saturday class... There goes my Friday nights.
  21. I feel like it's going to suck making friends in grad school because everyone is so annoying to me right now at work. Grad school will hopefully have less annoying people

      Well, I think it varies from place to place. I actually really like my coworkers. Depending on the program, you shouldn't be limited to just your department either. And *you* date people, so you likely don't suffer the same crippling social anxiety that I do. I think you'll be fine. At the very least, you aren't technically confined to one building, since literally everyone there would be obligated to come on a regular basis. So at the very least, you'll have the condition...

      Where'd you end up accepting?

  22. I think grad school will be my big change that helps me mature. My friend and I might live together and she works I will be in school we will party on weekends and meet guys I just feel behind like I didn't have these experiences earlier because I like live at home. I don't want to end up 25 still at home with no life experience lol
  23. It was cute... Not super helpful in my empty single life but hey... Cute for him and his gf I guess. Anyways human trafficking? That's intense. It happened while you were out of the country or was it because of the friend you mentioned? That's so scary!! I feel like I am slowly maturing...Maybe lol. It isn't happening as fast as I thought it would be though.
  24. I never appreciated my free time before I started working. I really wish I would have.

  25. Gee that didn't help me at all.. No offense
