I have a friend who is starting her PT program this summer. I want to get her a gift that is specific to PT but I am unsure about what is practical and what is a waste. Are there any miscellaneous things that you wish you had when you started?
I 22 M just graduated college and I was planning on taking a weekend trip with my friend T (22 M). This was to a costal town and it’s nice enough weather where we initially planned on doing some hiking and other outdoorsy things, especially to enjoy the weather after a rough semester. T has 1 more year of school, but I am moving back home (very far from where I went to school) so this is kinda our last chance to hang out for a while.
This past weekend, we were hanging out and talking about plans, when another mutual friend R (M21) came by. I’m chill with R but he and T are much closer, as they work at the same restaurant and generally had more time to hang out, especially bar hop. With this, T mentioned having R come with on our trip, and initially I agreed. But very soon, our 3 day trip has turned into a planned bender for them. I also recognize that T seemed more excited about this type of trip thank our initial one.
I can’t drink alcohol or smoke. I have some psych issues and am on medication for it, which T knows about. Adding other substances is a recipe for disaster so I don’t do it at all. With this, I have been either a designated driver or overall not invited to gatherings. T and R began looking up bars and starting to plan the trip based on that and T knowing I can’t/wont drink so I can be the dd and babysit them.
I tried to interject multiple times, bringing up the fact that we had already planned a day dedicated to a hike, but R isn’t a really fit person, and he said he wouldn’t want to do it. T followed along with this saying it wasn’t a big deal and the weekend was shot in my eyes.
The trip was initially 2 weeks out from last weekend. I texted T, expressing my concerns and he again expressed how it wasn’t a big deal and that I’d always been the DD. With this, I decided to back out. I was the one who booked the hotel like 2 weeks ago, and I canceled the reservation and sent T back his money pretty much saying that I wasn’t going to drive 4+ hours to sit around and watch them drink along with baby sitting them.
T is calling me petty and a dick, but i’m having mixed opinions. Hotels are twice as expensive so it’s questionable for them rebook at the same one. I’m also afraid T is going to tell R about my mental stuff so i’m a bit concerned.
Very dumb, very petty, but idc.
I’m in a college apartment with 2 other people. We’re all 22. Me and my 1 roommate have a small pact to clean out the fridge of noticeably expired things since our other roommate often lets things rot.
I had an 18 pack of eggs, and any time it got under 6 I would buy a new 12 pack and just add it in.
I eat eggs almost daily. I haven’t had any eggs go bad or anything. It’s just so I don’t run out of eggs or take up too much space in the fridge. He has seen me use this system before. With this though, the date on the carton was from January, so it would seem like it’s expired. But I had recently restocked so all the eggs aren’t anywhere near expiration.
I recently got back from a family thing, and I noticed all my eggs were thrown out. I buy decent eggs, so they are like 5 dollars a carton. Also it messes with my meal plan and budget when things go awry. I asked him about this and I explained the above and how he’s seen me do that and even question me on it.
I asked him to buy me new eggs or give me 5 dollars. He’s refusing to, insisting the eggs were spoiled (I bought them like a week ago, they were not). I’m fully willing to die on this hill, and my other roommate doesn’t care. I’m petty and defensive of my food obviously, is it unreasonable to expect him to pay?
