Very last minute lol but I was wondering if anyone knows what the window of time is for getting to Commencement as a student for the 1030AM ceremony?? It says 7:30AM and someone last year said they got there around 8:30AM and were fine but I wanted to see if anyone heard differently. Ty!
Say what you want about Rulla, but I was disturbed listening to Brian talk about how he gave Rulla more alcohol than she was aware of when they first met. Especially because alcohol lowers inhibition and makes you more susceptible to suggestion… like how is that ok or even romantic whatsoever. This is fucked up right???
Edit: omg, first off, just want to say that I love the community of women that make up this franchise’s fanbase bc we’re all clocking this shit. Also, my other thoughts were that this kind of blatant, dangerous relationship being shown on TV is so important for awareness. My hope is that something positive will come out of this, maybe starting a real conversation on the signs of an unhealthy, dangerous, coercive, potentially deadly man and will empower women to talk about it more and maybe open someone’s eyes up so they can get help or help another woman in their life.
Question of the post: why do men do things like this?? Is this a generational thing within older Gen Z (late 90s - mid 2000s)
Mini vent, but long story short, I ended up sitting behind this guy in a class I was in because of my eyesight and the proximity to the board. The guy, let’s call him John, was very handsome, and we would often end up in pairs or small groups for in class activities, but given the nature of the area of study and the way the professor ran our course, it pretty much always was about class related materials. Anyway, he paid me a compliment early on in the semester about something very unique to me, which is what kickstarted this whole thing, I swear I would catch him finding ways to glance at me out of the corner of his eye by slightly turning his head like all of the time, nearly every class, ALL SEMESTER. When I’d have to move or sit across the room, he would not do the head turning thing, but I only caught him staring from across the room a couple of time… but I will say he pays very close attention in class.
So to not be weird or worry about making things weird, I waited until after we finished up with everything to reach out to him electronically and also gave him a very neutral compliment and talked about an aspect of the class that we both had a shared experience with to make the tone overall very lighthearted. While his response was very kind, it didn’t leave much open for a response. I’m so very confused - I hear my other girl friends discuss equivalent scenarios where men do these like micro signals but then act, disinterested when they try to make a pass (some of the girls are more forward than others but always done in a way that should create the least amount of awkwardness) and while the men aren’t mean, they don’t ever act on the opportunity. For reference, we’re all in our early to mid 20s and these men are between mid-late 20s.
Edit extra info that might matter: he’d always turn to me first when we’d breakout to make groups and it wasn’t obvious how we should all divide ourselves up…and I the compliment I gave was just as specific and unique to him as his compliment was ti me
Edit Again: thank you all so much for sharing your insights! Idk if I’ll reach out again unfortunately, I’m really self conscious about being forward with crushes but this has given me a lot to think about :)
In the nicest way possible, it’s so irritating when people come on to talk about a life-changing product, tool, hack, etc… and don’t say what it is or take days if not weeks to respond😭 I’m sure it’s not meant to be malicious or gatekeepy but what’s the point of making a post in a forum where the goal is to discuss matters related to fine hair if you just say “look at this”??
