How did you avoid a crazy person on CL? I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone to room with

How did you find your roommate (if you have one)? How has your experience been with roommates? I decided I want a roomie it would definitely making living less expensive and I also don't want to live alone. So far I signed up on my schools off campus website, and I found a website called uloop. I really don't want to use craigslist because it just seems dangerous. Any advice? Should I try to find someone else then we can look together or should I try to look for a room in a house? I don't know where to start! Prefurnished? No furniture?

Sorry I meant to say I can read it if you want, sorry I was typing on my phone. I think in a big city you shouldn't have a hard time finding work that focuses on substance abuse and even if you didn't stay in cleveland there are tons of places that would need that specialty. Good luck:)

I actually just got my acceptance to Case as far as the area from what I have heard the actual campus is nice but off the campus isn't. There are decent places in Cleveland and if I choose to attend I will be commuting from home (45 mins away). As far as the economy out there I honestly can't speak to that because I have no idea. I applied to the direct practice area or micro but I thought there was a substance abuse specification? I'm sorry I don't have all the answers but good luck and it can't read you personal statement if you need.

I think it takes courage to leave a program that isn't working for you. Someone made a post about hating grad school and got so much crap and I felt bad. I mean I guess you never know until you try and if the program isn't helping you then you should leave and go somewhere that is better fit. I wouldn't stay in a hot mess program.

All I know is I love getting a drink bought for me in a bar. If I don't have a guy buy me a drink I feel like crap when the night is over. At the same time it does suck a little because you do feel like you owe them something. I mean you spend the whole night buying me drinks then what? I don't want to have to sleep with you after:/ so I always offer to buy a round because then we are kind of equal and I don't owe you anything, or I will give them my number:) that's a good option too then at that point the ball is in their court. I have never declined a drink (and probably never will haha) and I wouldn't ever accept a drink then walk away from the person, that's just rude.

That's what I did. I did my FAFSA on January 2 and at that point I had only been accepted to one program and wasn't sure I would attend. I still did the FAFSA, I didn't work so I had no tax info for them except my parents information which was useless because I filled it out as an independent

Haha yeah you're right they do.

Not all attractive women get free rides.. I think the same can be said for attractive guys too.

I don't think so? I mean it's natural to want to get married and have a family, I think that should be a mutual thing. It isn't as if I would be sleeping with someone for tuition money.. I mean that is wrong to me.

Ohhh I love it!! Ethical? No I don't think it is but I mean if you genuinely care about him then you should date him? If it's just for money I personally wouldn't but hey if you really need the money then maybe you will. I personally wouldn't go there though :/. I hate feeling like I owe someone something and wouldn't you kind of feel indebted to him? I would rather not feel like I was with someone solely for what they can do for me, just seems wrong Anyways I think this post should be like a relationship finding/hookup advice thread:) I love it!

Not only is he super smart but his voice is so adorable!! He's such a little cutie!!

Really? Did you grow up in a big city? I'm from a fairly small area. I remember my friend saying that if she wasn't married with kids by 30 she would go to a sperm bank because in my town if you're 30 and unmarried and you don't have kids you are doing nothing with yourself. Not going to lie I don't think a lot of my friends marriages will work out but hey I wish them the best.

Lol it has and it can be ended at any point. I got my advice I'm gonna chill down A LITTLE on the dating

I woke up at 8 to study more now does that count more?

What can I say... I'm a BAMF:) Not my craziest moment but it was my "all nighter" moment

Hey I just got accepted to 3 out of 4 schools so far. I put in all of my applications in Nov. I submitted 2 on November 9, one on the 22 and the other on the 24 or 25? Anyways I heard back from one in mid December (they guarantee admission to anyone with a 3.3 and above as long as you applied before Dec 31) i heard from another about 2 weeks ago and one yesterday. Basically all the places I applied were rolling admission, except one program and I am waiting to hear from them in the next few weeks. I think you should be fine you have a lot of experience and that looks good. I had a 3.4, some volunteer experience but not a ton and I think my SOP was pretty good:) you'll be fine good luck!

I don't write on the back of pages ever, I need colored ink to color code everything (it also keeps my interest), I have to rewrite all of my notes and I have to do it on loose leaf paper not in a notebook (I am left handed and the spiral rings bother me). I am just weird about ink pens I need pens where the ink easily comes out.. I can't explain it. I need total silence, and sticky notes!

During undergrad I never did, I need my sleep! Haha I stayed up until 4 one time reading for a class but I didn't have class until like 11 so I don't know if that counts. I don't think I have the ability to pull an all nighter, coffee does nothing for me so I would be dead.

That makes me feel bad for them, I hope they are accepted somewhere. I definitely did think about that though yesterday when I got one of the last acceptances

Dating is so complicated, you always have to worry about "will they call?" "do I text them first? If I text first will I come off as annoying?" I can't go on dates and not jump immediately to our beautiful wedding pictures and what our kids will look like. I have done it with every single relationship and date I have been on. My best friend just got out of a 3 year relationship and right now she is looking to "casually date" I had no idea what that was until she explained it. I don't "casually date" to me the point of dating is to find someone you love and marry them and have babies as quickly as possible. My ex and I (I reference him a lot sorry) we casually dated at first I guess but as soon as things turned sexual I needed a title, I never want to be sleeping with someone and not mean something to them. I have in the past but I personally don't do well with hookups, I don't know how to not be emotionally attached and then afterward I feel like crap about myself. It just isn't for me. In the end for me I would rather it happen now so it is one less thing I have to stress about. I think it is cool that people are so happy and content being single, for me it just makes me feel less than people in relationships. It is like they have something I don't and despite how hard I try to get into a relationship and adjust myself into a person that a guy would love and want to spend their life with I still can't get it, it is never good enough. I can't explain it but to me single people are less than people in relationships (I can only speak for myself being less than people in relationships). I worry about finding someone pretty much everyday, because I don't meet a lot of people in my day to day life, I am 23 most people my age are in serious relationships or getting engaged (this summer there are literally at least 6 weddings of people I graduated with) or pregnant and then married. That is just important to me, I can't see being fully happy if I am not married with kids. My career is important too but ever since I was like 18 I knew school would always be available but having babies wouldn't. I have my own personal issues that make it much harder to find someone in my opinion though. Anyways I am for sure going to grad school in the Fall and that means living on my own and stuff and so hopefully that helps me to mature as a person, and I hope I learn more about myself. I couldn't tell you one thing that I enjoy doing that I didn't get from a person I dated :/ it is pretty sad I guess.

Well I got into pretty much everywhere I applied so I think I am done on here for the most part, I got my SOP proofed by some really cool people, I now know what to expect from my program and how to make friends so I think I am pretty much done on here. I accomplished my goals

OP I think you're entitled to feel how you feel and if other people think its wrong or disagree or feel like it's your fault for whatever reason then screw them. I don't think you should quit unless it's absolutely unbearable though. Good luck!
