My community college has different campuses around the state and different RN programs (day, night, weekend, etc.). I took the TEAS and got a score that was literally the lowest score that campus accepted last year, so I didn’t think I would get in. I also didn’t even have it as my first choice initially. But after speaking with an advisor, she convinced me that there was a possibility I could get in, so I got my application adjusted to make it my first choice and I got my acceptance email yesterday! I honestly did not expect to get in since they only accept 24 people 😭 I feel so lucky, and I can’t wait to start my nursing journey 🥰

So I (22F) have this online friend I met through a game. Let's call him John (18M). John and I met through a game and we clicked and moved our convos over to discord. We were talking one day, and he randomly called me the N word (without the hard
-er) in a sentence, in like a joking way. I asked him if he was black too (he knew I was black from the beginning) because I genuinely didn't know but was also iffy, and he said no, he's Latino. I asked if he's Afro Latino and he confirmed that he's just Latino.

That honestly pmo but I know non black people use the word all the time 🙄 I told him he shouldn't use the word, especially around me. All he said was okay and that he wouldn't use it around me. This emo even more and I told him he knows he shouldn't be using it at all... right? He said isn't the intent all that matters and that where he's from everyone uses it. I said not really and it doesn't mean he should say it too but me trying to tell him to stop won't change anything if he still uses it. He basically agreed and ever since then, I've felt not as close to him as before.

And then today, he was sending me screenshots of a convo with another friend because I pointed out he has weird texting habits, and in the screenshot, his friend was using the n word... who he confirmed was also Hispanic. Idk this whole thing is making me want to ghost him, but I play the game we met on a lot and chances are l'Il ran into him and the game will be awkward. But I don't want to keep being friends with someone like this. He's old enough to know why it's wrong.

I was born an African country and spent some of my childhood there, but I moved to the US and grew up here. I’ve heard a lot about dna tests growing up, and I’ve wanted to get one since forever. When I was still a teen, my parents said it would be a waste of money since we know where we’re from. But now that I’m an adult, I still want to get one. I’ve always been told I look part Asian, especially when I smile and I want to see if that’s true. I know some people from my country do some times have smaller eyes but I’m curious.
