Where in CA? At least you'll get a fee free vacations if he buys you a plane ticket out there

Oceanside CA. I think he is coming back here in Aug so that will be like our first meeting and then next Sept he gets out. It sucks but I am so into him I am willing to do it

That's awesome! I'm happy that you are happy you deserve it.

That would be a very unique experience. Hopefully the filming dates wouldn't interfere with your course work and practicums.

It would be awesome if I got it I hope it would film over the Summer they have interview dates in April and luckily it falls on a Friday and Sat that I am not in class! So just fingers crossed that I get it.

@nubbin, I know and I have already pushed away really close friends from home, or really limited my time with them and blamed it on school and being busy. The jealousy is just too difficult to deal with, like I want to be around people when I choose to and then when I don't want to I just don't. Like I have a very small window of when I am feeling ok enough to handle them. Still working on that in therapy.

@midwestern, lol I think she will text me occasionally but we will be living in two states that aren't close. Only way I would really care about staying in contact is if I decide to move there after graduation. It is something i have thought about because of the attractive men, good job market and it is a southern state so it is warm. I would have her as a contact but that is a major "what if"

Good for you sticking with therapy. Other good news is understanding when jealousy is getting the better of you and limiting interaction when that happens. I hope you can eventually look at people who have what you want as potential models. You might learn from how they navigate successful relationships. Don't avoid people who have what you want altogether. Good luck.

Nope, you're not the only one! I can totally relate. For me, even getting out of bed is a challenge on some days... And the weather on the East Coast isn't helping the cause either.

Grad school does feel a bit overwhelming at times... But then I try to convince myself that the end result will be worth it. So keep your chin up, we can do this!

Yes, I don't know what happened to me over winter break. Last semester was awesome I was on fire, loved my classes and professors. This semester is just blah.

Because you're forced to spend way too much time together. We have the same problem in my year.

Oh I do understand, and to think we voluntarily signed ourselves up for this.

A professor I used to work for said "you're only stupid enough to go to grad school once" lol

Lol I just feel so swamped

Sounds like a douche. Tell him you'll see him in 20 years when you're assigned to his kids he doesn't take care of.

That's a good come back!! Yeah he's a douche to me a lot

If you're referring to second wave, then yes, you're absolutely right. My beliefs tend to fall more third wave, but not radical. My boyfriend calls it "tumblr feminism" haha. Basically into social issues, inclusive feminism, and fighting stereotypes and gender norms.

The girl in my class is a social work student and feels like that I can advocate for other people's rights and not demand my own

I just like feeling protected like I want to be taken care of not financially but in every other sense I don't like making my own decisions

date, fo sho. especially if it's a long-term or possibly long-term relationship

I agree:)

he's a real american propagandist war hero!

He's a real CGI raccoon!

It bums me out but at the same time I don' intend to work with children long term so I doubt I will use this info again anytime soon. Maybe one day. I enjoy my placement I just am not learning a ton

I get hard when my man shoots a kid

Stop they do their job just like we do ours. I don't see how two people who need either could be a bad thing?

Pol: +1

Does it perhaps mean "you need to have a seat" but intensified? Like "you really, really need to just stop talking"?

i think you nailed it, wuglife. Makes sense now.

Wug you totally got it. It's something that happened in class
