are there any specific business clubs that you guys would recommend for students majoring in finance? i want to join a club that would help me with interviews, networking, job opportunities, etc. and also, are the professional business fraternities worth it for the networking purposes?
does anyone know if there are any independent competitive bhangra teams in the nj/ny area apart from morni, noor punjab di, and heeray? looking to join one

Hello, I am 18 years old living in the U.S. I’ve had insulin resistant pcos since I was about 12-13, and spent the first half of my teenage years on birth control and different medications. After learning more about insulin and its effects on the body and female reproductive system, I’ve decided to take things in my own hands by reversing my insulin resistance. Unfortunately I was severely depressed and neglected my health just until recently. I want to get back on track and reverse my insulin resistance but there’s just an overwhelming amount of information online and it’s too much to process. There’s information about intermittent fasting, no eating carbs, not eating fruit, specifically eating meals every 5 hours, etc. Everything is too overwhelming!! I feel like there’s a bug in my head that’s telling me that I won’t see improvements until I follow everything that everyone is saying. However I know this isn’t true because if I tried to follow everything that everyone said, I’d probably become insane.
I guess what I’m asking you guys is what can I do to gradually reverse my insulin resistance? I am going to university this upcoming year so idk how feasible intermittent fasting would be. But maybe I can try it. I do try to eat most of my meals with protein and fiber but if I am eating a carb heavy, oily meal I have psyllium husk beforehand.
I was asking AI for quick answers (please don’t flame me for this, I do not use AI frequently) and it kept telling me that eating breakfast at 11 am and then eating lunch around 2/3 was spiking was insulin since I didn’t put a gap of 4-5 hours. Do i really need to be following that?
Also the whole fear around snacks is really bad for me. I do admit that i do snack between meals quite often but what do I do if I crave something? Usually my meals go like this: breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner. Snack is around 5 and is usually fruit or chips (I knew chips were bad but I’m devastated about fruit). I guess I could eat the snacks after I eat a full meal but idk if that would help.
I am also trying to lose weight but never really stayed consistent but would managing my IR help me lose weight naturally? That’s what it said online but idk.
This is a lot of rambling but I’d really appreciate if someone could give me some useful advice and guidance for this. Thank you.

I'm an incoming college freshman who commutes from home, and I feel like I'm missing out on a huge part of college because of my parents.
They're really controlling. I have a 9 PM curfew, they expect me to come after 2-3 hours of hanging out with someone, and they always want my location. They get mad and question me if I go out more than twice a week. If I don't answer my phone or my location stops updating, they immediately start calling me or texting me. I am always the first one leaving social gatherings because not being home on time scares me since my Asian parents will lash out on me. I'm 18, but living at home means I still have to follow their rules.
Before anyone says "just move out," that's not an option right now. Financially and culturally, it's just not realistic right now. I do intend on moving out post-grad but right now it's not feasible for me to. I would dorm but again, I don't want to take out loans. I am really grateful my parents are paying for my tuition, but that also comes with me having to listen to them and not being able to dorm.
I'm curious how other commuters with strict parents managed to have a social life. If you wanted to go to parties or stay out later, how did you handle it? Did you gradually earn more freedom? Come up with believable reasons for being out? Or did you just accept that you'd miss out until you moved out?
can i apply to be an ra if i commute my first two years?
As a kid, I used to endure both physical and emotional/verbal abuse. Slapping, screaming, name calling, etc. As I've gotten older, the physical abuse has worn out (to some extent) but the verbal abuse has gradually gotten worse over my teen years. For example, I've been neglected in the past when I had strep throat and I wasn't taken to the doctors even when I would cry of pain. I vividly remember complaining to my sister and bawling my eyes out over them not taking me seriously. In response to my crying and visible negative emotions, my mom came upstairs and started screaming at me with a rolling pin in her hand as if she was about to hit me with it. My mom is the root cause of all evil. My dad is very conservative, sexist, and a narcissist but his demeanor isn't as terrible as my moms. My mom, especially, screams over small things, turns everything into herself and how "my sister and I are disappointments for not doing xyz." Both my parents scream at me if I'm visibly upset or crying, because showing negative emotions is bad apparently and screaming at your kids for crying will fix that according to them. My parents are also very controlling. They have a strict curfew for my sister (26F) which is usually 10 PM. When my sister (23 y.o at the time) started to seriously look for a boyfriend (now her fiance), my parents physically did not let her leave the home to meet him. When she somehow managed to leave, my parents called her 5 minutes into the date and told her to come back home. It was actual insanity. I know this is going to happen to me aswell. My parents believe that every argument that happens is our fault and they never care to self reflect and see why their kids are so miserable and depressed/barely come out of their rooms.
I'm entering college now as a freshman at my state university (wasn't allowed to go out of state, and not allowed to dorm either) which is 20 mins away. I'll be a commuter and my parents don't want to pay an extra 15k on dorms (that's their reason but my mom has also mentioned on several occasions that it's "too far" and that I have to stay at home until I get a real job or get married) which is fine because I want them to fund my education before I go NC or LC with them. My only question is how am I supposed to make my life in college more enjoyable? My parents will constantly be on my ass about things. They make me share my location with them over the littlest things. They constantly call and text me asking me when I'm coming home from a hangout even if it's been like 2 hours and it's not late. I walk on eggshells and get scared to ask if I can hangout with a friend more than once or twice a week. I also think my parents will react negatively if I'm never at home due to college and my job. In college I'm going to have a strict curfew for sure and I know I'm not gonna be allowed to do a lot of things. I know my social life is gonna be very limited and I won't be able to do spontaneous things with friends. Another worry is that I wanted to join the bhangra team in my college but they do out of state comps and my parents would never let me do that. They also do practices until midnight or 1 am sometimes and I don't think I'd be allowed to do that. My dad thinks girls these days have way too freedom. Everything for my parents is transactional. They give the bare minimum and expect us to pay them back (by following their mould). I wish i could articulate this better but you guys probably get the point.
I know you guys are going to tell me to get a job and I've been trying to get one but no one replies back. I've been applying since the start of summer. My best bet is to just get one in college, on campus. I know I am 18 so I can technically move out but I'm not financially independent. I have 2 bucks to my name. I don't even know how the real world works, I would probably end up on the streets if I move out so that isn't really an option. Like I said before, I'm okay with putting up with this for the next 4 years since they're willing to pay for my tuition, but after that I'm out. My sister essentially did the same thing but she's still living at home even post grad.
My only real concern is how can I make my life more enjoyable in college given all these rules/restrictions and how controlling they are. I want to have a life in college and try new things. That's not to say I'll become a party animal and forget about college, but I want to have fun and live. That's not gonna happen given the current state of my parents :/ any advice would be appreciated.
Also this is in the future so maybe it's dumb to think about it rn but if I go low contact with my parents, my only fear is that I'd be estranged from my extended family. Im in contact with a few of my cousins and have many of my aunts/uncles added on different social media platforms. But ik if I go LC or NC with my parents no one would talk to me.
i remember being on this sub a while ago and seeing a post about how someone called him out in a comment section back in like 2022 on instagram. does anyone have the link to that post or that screenshot? i was trying to find it
i literally keep failing my road test. the first time i took it, i failed because of a rolling stop. tbh i was really nervous and forgot the rules of the road bc of it. in theory, i knew what to do. i was also getting pointed marked off because i was going below the speed limit (again, due to anxiety). the proctor also made me so scared.
the second time i failed, 4 months later, i was still nervous but somewhat calm because my proctor was more nice and calm. i took it at a diff location and all i did was parallel park since the roads were too busy. the proctor gave me 4 tries to parallel park and everytime i did it, i was never inside of the cones. i don’t know why i fucked up so much, despite practicing. i think it was because the layout of the cones on the test were different from the way i had practiced with my dad and for some reason it tripped me off bc i couldn’t use the same reference points.
the third time i failed was because i was going OVER the speed limit and i stopped way too far back from a stop sign, and my proctor was kind of irritated from the start which also got me nervous. this was 3 months after my 2nd attempt. honestly i feel so stupid because when i practice with others, im really good with the rules. im not trying to be cocky by any means, but my instructor and parents have said that my speed control and everything is fine. i really don’t know why i keep fucking up the way i am.
i honestly feel devastated at this point because i do everything right but on the road test, i seem to forget everything and just rush through it? people keep saying to relax and take your time but i just can’t do that. my heart literally feels like it’s going to come out of my chest. i feel like i lose sleep over it. i know this shouldn’t be as nerve wrecking as it already is, but i just can’t help but cry before my test sometimes because of how nervous and pressured i am. i just want to be done with it.
i’ve had my learners permit for over a year now and i just feel so behind, dumb, and lost. i’ve wasted so much money on lessons and i’ve costed so much of my parents time just for me to not get my license. im an incoming freshman in college and i have to commute and i have no idea how im going to do that if i don’t have my license. i WANT my license but i don’t feel like trying again.
all in all i just want to give up. i feel like im too stupid to drive or have some disorder or something that makes me completely incompetent behind the wheel. i just feel like an idiot and i don’t even want to try again. i can’t help but feel so behind. my parents are also lowkey no help because when i drive with them, they scream a lot and get so impatient when teaching me parallel parking. my dad even said that if i can’t learn after hundreds of tries of parallel parking with him, i can never do it with anyone else.
it’s just so discouraging and im sick of it.
hi, im looking to get tops for night outs but my main concern is that most tops either show wayy too much cleavage, don't have a back sewn on, or just lack fabric overall.
most stores like windsor, urban outfitters, garage, cottonon, etc only have tops like this. do yall know where i can get somewhat modest tops from? anything that, for the most part, covers the back and mid section. stomach is ok.
thanks in advance!!
Hi! My cousin recently took the ancestry test and came up as a “2nd cousin or half 1st cousin 1x removed.” This cousin is my 1st cousin, her dad and my dad are siblings.
It shows that we have 4% shared DNA and 303 CM shared which seems really low, despite cousins getting random inheritance I think this is a low number for an actual first cousin.
My cousin, who is a geneticist, also thinks that this is extremely inaccurate but I’m not sure anymore because our shared grandparents do have a history of doing suspicious things so I wouldn’t be surprised. My dad took an ancestry test and we had 50% shared DNA and he had around 760 CM shared with my cousin ( 10% shared DNA).
Our dna results were pretty vague (we are south asian so not much data about us on the database yet), so we are thinking that the dna matches itself may not be fully accurate aswell? I’m not sure anymore. If someone has any input it would be appreciated.
i have terrible anxiety when it comes to test taking and this is going to be my 3rd time taking the road test. the first time i failed due to nerves and doing a rolling stop and the second time i failed was due to parallel parking. im really nervous this time around because i NEED my license for uni next year since ill be commuting and trains/bus won’t really be a great option for me. my parents have also been pressuring me into getting a license which i understand, but their expectations don’t really help because what if i fail this time again? they’d be so disappointed and frustrated with me.
i think my anxiety is going to get the best of me, and when im anxious it gets really bad; shakey hands, dry mouth, trembles, etc. i feel like i lose complete control over the vehicle. on the bright side i do feel a little more confident because i did take refresher lessons but i still can’t help but feel like something is going to go wrong. like what if i miss a stop sign or do a rolling stop again? another issue of mine is that im scared the proctor is going to yell at me. also i feel like the breathing techniques do not calm me down as much so idk what to do with my nerves.
idk im really nervous and i dont wanna let anyone down, i just really hope i pass. :(
Im getting my full face waxed professionally for the first time tomorrow and Im soooo freakin nervous. I do my face myself usually but I’ve been so exhausted recently that I’ve just completely given up on it. My hair has been growing out for 2 weeks now and I am covered in thick, dense, coarse hair all over my neck and chin especially. Im really scared the wax specialist is going to judge me even though this is quite literally their job and Im probably not the first patient they’ve had with hirsutism.
Im still nervous though nonetheless. I really hope they don’t judge me 😭
Hi, this is a very out of the blue question for this sub but I was wondering if anyone had any insight/theories/explanations into why I have a Bengali last name (Tagore) as a Punjabi. All our relatives swear that we are 100% Punjabi and this has been a topic of discussion for a while now. My dad took an ancestry test and had no ancestry from Bengal whatsoever. There is a theory that we are descendants of one of Rabindrinath Tagore’s brothers, since apparently one of them came to Punjab. Another theory is that we just changed our last name to make it easier, and that our original last name is Taggar.
my family hails from nawanshehr, specifically Banga, so all of my family hails from Punjab. Does anyone have any thoughts?
i enrolled into RBS for SCM but i want to change it to finance or maybe accounting. do i need to email the admissions office or do i need to wait until the school year starts?
Taking the road test tomorrow at kilmer and I think one the biggest stressors while taking the test is the proctors and their overall demeanor. Ik I should get over it lmao and just suck it up but are the proctors generally nice and lenient? I’ve heard some mixed things
