i recently started running and i’m not sure how to run while i’m on my period. i only wear pads and i feel like any excess activity causes leaks but i cant use anything else like tampons or cups. i also get a lot of pain that radiates down my legs from my hips to my ankles when im on my period which make it hard to be active. i’d really appreciate any tips!
does anyone have tips on running while wearing the hijab? i recently started running inside on the treadmill without hijab but when i do runs outside it’s like a million times harder and i finish literally soaked in sweat like genuine water it’s insane and i just don’t see the progress i’ve been making running inside when i do runs outside.
checked canvas and there’s no courses listed for fall but theyre all listed on blackboard, and according to the uic canvas website we’re supposed to be added to our courses 2 weeks before courses begin?

so my brother and i both have adhd and he has the hyperactive variety while i have the inattentive kind. he recently started medication and it’s helped him calm down and focus more.
i brought up the idea of me trying out medication too and my parents were highly against it. i honestly dont think they even believe i have adhd even though ive been diagnosed because ive always had good grades and good behavior. their main complain with me is that i am “too slow” and it just takes me a really long time to complete tasks.
they also think that if medication has a calming effect then i would become even slower, which i dont rlly think that’s how it works but idk. any advice? will medication help in my case?

went to goodwill the other day and was shocked at how expensive the clothes have gotten and there wasnt even any cute clothes. any good thrift stores that are actually cheap in the south west suburbs (Think Naperville, downers grove area)
i have a private account and for some reason this past week I’ve gotten an influx of follow requests. they’re not bots because i have mutuals with all of them but it’s really strange because I don’t really know these people and it just seems sudden.

I’ve been hearing the tretinoin is great for improving skin texture and I have pretty big pores on my nose and combination skin so I was thinking about trying it out. however, I also heard that adapalene is good for those things as well but not as strong.
my skin does tend to be on the more sensitive side and skin treatments can dry out my cheeks like benzoyl peroxide which I tried for a couple weeks but made my skin incredibly dry and flakey.
I’m not that interested in using tretinoin for anti aging because I’m only 20 so I don’t know if i need that this early. My current routine is cera ve foaming cleanser, the ordinary niacinamide, the ordinary moisturizer, and Trader Joe’s moisturizing sunscreen.
which would you guys recommend to start using?
So you know those face shapes like oval, round, square, diamond, etc. I’ve been told for most of my life that I have a round face but I never really thought so and thought that I had an oval face because my face isn’t perfectly circular. today I saw a post of those face shapes and for the first time in my life it clicked that the face shape doesn’t have to be a near perfect circle shape to count as round 😭 like I saw the picture for the round face and slowly realized wait… that’s also an oval
i ordered a fitbit from amazon from the fitbit store on sale for $85. when it arrived, the package box looked weird like one side was pushed in and not properly closed. when i opened the package up, the fitbit box wasn’t sealed from the bottom and very easily openable i didn’t even have to use scissors or peel any tape off. the fitbit itself had these white specks all over that i brushed off. idk if this is normal or not. it feels kind of off. i don’t really want to return it because i got it for such a good deal but i also purchased it new not used or open box so idk what to do.
is any of this normal for a new fitbit? also do they come charged out the box? are the charger boxes inside taped up? idk if i’m being paranoid or it is really used.
everyone always talks about how you need to intern to get a job but how common is it to actually get a return offer if you intern? what kinds of companies are more likely to extend return offers to interns? and if you did get a return offer, what do you think you did that helped with that?
