Is the "quirky" student stereotype true?

I'm applying to Wesleyan and have been researching some stuff about the student body and keep coming across things talking about how the students are quirky, weird, artsy, etc. Theres nothing wrong with that but i'm very much the opposite.

Are the stereotypes true? Would you guys say theres a good amount of people that fit outside of that? I'm just worried it'll be hard for me to make friends

[Routine Help] What kind of skin do I have?

I tried to do the thing where you wash your face with a natural face wash, wait 30 min/ an hour, and if your skin feels oily/dry/normal, that’s what kind of skin you have

except I only had my “for very dry skin” cleanser and used that…it’s been 45 min and my skin feels normal! Does that mean my skin is normal or did the cleanser I used affect the results? I also used to be on accutane about 5 months ago if that helps at all…

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just wanna double check before I buy a new cleanser!

Is it ok to have guests pay for their own food at an engagement dinner?

Im making this post for my mom haha

She recently got engaged and they’d like to have a dinner to celebrate but paying for 20+ people’s dinners is way out of budget. My mom and her partner are kind of worried it’ll come off as tacky. What do you guys think?

edit: no one will be paying for their own dinner, thanks!

Senior trip to Vietnam, Philippines, or Thailand?

Hi! Im from the US, and im starting to plan my HS graduation trip. I would love to go to southeast asia for a week, im a big fan of the food, culture, and from what ive seen, the nature is incredible. Its very hard to choose so I’d love some insight and advice from people who have went to any of the three in the title.

Some deciding factors are how nice/welcoming the people are, how easy it is to get around, how much there is to do, and where can I get the biggest bang for my buck? Im also into spas and wellness centers if anyone knows anything about that

Ive also heard that in Vietnam and Thailand shopping and getting clothing made is popular. Is that true? How is the quality?

How can someone find other social media accounts + how to erase SM presence

So yesterday I got a comment on my tiktok post saying the username of an old twitter account (that I deeply regret, if that says enough) I had. The account had no followers, followed no one and didnt have a username/pfp I recognized so I have no idea who it is. I never posted my face on the twitter account and never gave anyone my tiktok…if ANYTHING I mightve sent a face pic to some friends/ppl on discord but I dont get how they could have found my tiktok. A while ago someone tried to blkmail me on discord as they had my full name and IP but I dont get how they could have found my tiktok and the deactivated twitter with that since neither had my full name. Im truly just wondering how this could have happened so I can fix it/prevent anything bad from happening.

Im also pretty nervous so how do I erase all my media presence to stop something like this from happening again? If anyone help I'd be more than grateful

Cant choose what to write about for college essay

Hi guys! I'm trying to start my college essay and Im torn between two ideas.

  1. I'm a child of a single mother who lost her wife yada yada I matured quickly and lived inside this little bubble that was just us two but as i grew I had to learn to socialize and i found myself. I became an individual and take pride in being a person for my mom to lean on yayyyy
  2. Im a female body builder and wrestler and its hard ofc as theyre both male dominated, ive faced sexism and disrespect but no matter what i persevered. i find comfort in the rawness of the sport and view it as an art form rather than a sport for "brutes".... i wanna connect that into me being passionate, confident, empowered, etc...

(i need some advice on how to talk about mma without being like "yay i love violence" bc obvi thatd look terrible)

Id really love help on how to polish these ideas and which one might seem more promising...the descriptions arent great but they summarize them simply

thanks!!

I have a 3.58 GPA and Im shitting my pants

As the title reads I have a 3.58 GPA and I'm honestly hella nervous...but I go to a private college-prep school so I dont think its seen as that that bad? Anyone know if college admissions will acknowledge that or any college students who were in similar situations?

It's a stupid question i know but this paranoid soon-to-be senior just needs reassurance thanks guys

Experience at liberal arts college?

Hi guys! I plan on applying to liberal arts colleges (think Colby, Lafayette, Vassar, Trinity) but have found that they all have very similar (good) academic quality and programs/opportunities so i'm relying on the culture (mostly greek life), dorms, and just overall vibes to help me make some choices. I'm very interested in party life and really want to meet new people.

I'd love to know your guys' experience at your liberal arts school (preferred the ones i listed, but if you know things about/went to similar ones thatd be great so I can put them on my list) and how the culture and dorms are. Thank you guys!
