So I’ve (22f) been going to the same dentist for quite a few years now. The problem is that they only take my primary insurance, and not my secondary, so I’m left with a lot of out of pocket expenses for things like retainers or surgery. I have impacted wisdom teeth that need to come out so I started looking at other places that take both my insurances.

Today I had a cleaning at a new place, but it was very different that what I have had in the past. All they did was drill (or maybe scrape or waterpik or something? All I know is it was a lil painful and there was a lot of water) and brush my teeth. And it wasn’t by a hygienist, it was by the doctor. I don’t exactly remember what my old place did, but I know they AT LEAST flossed me and then would offer fluoride at an extra cost. Is this normal? I’m not worried about the hygienist vs doctor thing, but it just felt a little sloppy compared to my usual treatment.

Hi everyone :) I’m 22f and was diagnosed at 18 with IH. At this point, I’ve done all the things a pre med needs to do to get into medical school (mcat, prereqs, research and shadowing experience, etc.) My plan is to apply next cycle, but I’m struggling to decide if that is a good choice for me given my sleep disorder. I’ve had a brief conversation w the doctor who manages my sleep disorder and he thinks I’ll be fine, but he also brushes off most conversations that aren’t directly related to needing changes to meds. Has anyone here gone through medical school and residency while dealing with IH? And did it impact your choice on which specialty you picked?

Edit: punctuation lol

So my (22f) bf (21m) is coming to visit in a few weeks. I am absolutely terrified of driving and have never driven in a big city (which is where the airport is located). He knows I’m scared of driving, but I really want to be there to greet him at the airport. His flight lands in the middle of the night so I’m not sure if I should just say fuck my fears and pick him up since hopefully there won’t be many cars on the road, or take a shuttle bus, meet him at the airport, and then shuttle us both back. Ik I’m probably totally overthinking this, but I just want to be a supportive partner and show him I’m really excited to get to see him again. This is our first time seeing each other since we went long distance

Hi guys! I’m 22 so I’m not entirely tech illiterate, but I joined a job recently where my manager works with AI and he seems to be a tech savvy god (not just with AI, like he uses the work MacBook so seamlessly idk how he does it). For example, he uses a three finger swipe thing (I think?) to switch apps or something. Does anyone have any YouTube videos that show all the ways to use a MacBook? We use files and Microsoft office apps a lot if anyone has videos specific to those.

I have the tech-savvyness of someone born in the 1800s. I tried to use anki for my mcat, and couldn’t rly figure out how to use it, or at least how to make the most of it. Does anyone have any resources they find particularly useful like YouTube videos or something of how to use anki and make it user friendly for someone like me 😭

Of note, I’m no longer studying for the mcat (yippee passed that hurdle) but I want to study a little during the 2 years I have before med school. Prob mostly anatomy stuff so if anyone has any deck recs that’d be great too :)

Hi guys! I am pre med (post grad) and am looking to explore all of my career options because I didn’t grow up knowing anyone in the scientific field so I have a very limited understanding of what career opportunities are available. I recently met a CRA who was pre med and then switched career paths because he didn’t want to take the mcat. I was hoping on getting some perspective from others who did the same thing but for reasons other than “not wanting take the mcat” or “didn’t do well enough in classes/mcat to get into med school”

Hi guys!! I’m a new CRC (fresh out of undergrad) at a large institution and my dept is rarely in person so I’m struggling to learn my role. Any tips?

Hi guys! I’m looking for people (maybe 18-30ish) to teach me how to play games on my ps5!! I got it for Christmas last year and have maybe played like 10 times on it. Im looking to play Roblox, fort, or fall guys. I don’t have a ton of storage on my ps5 but lmk if anyone has any game recs too :))

Hi guys :) I’m 21f and I’ve been feeling a lil lonely recently since I graduated and the difference in socialization at work vs at school is crazy. Im just looking for a texting buddy or maybe someone I can game with. Im not willing to show my face or send pics or anything.
A lil bit about me is I love animals, am always looking for song, movie, or show recommendations, and I love cooking and baking so feel free to share recipes !!

Please do not try to flirt with me I have a very lovely bf and will immediately block you if I feel as though you are trying to make a move

My score comes out next Tuesday. I’ve seen diff ppl say diff things about whether the AAMC emails you when ur score is released, or if they post on a social media acc (although I couldn’t find any recent posts) and what time the scores comes out. Do I just keep refreshing the page all day?? Can someone who’s gotten their score back recently pls answer these questions?

Ik some people have a gene that makes cilantro taste soapy, but I think apples taste soapy. Am I alone in this?

So my long distance bf is coming to see me in 5 weeks and we’ve both talked about wanting to have sex. I’m 21f and he’s the first guy I’ve done pretty much anything with (besides first kiss). I’ve only rly cum from clitoral stimulation before, and he just fingers me and doesn’t rly do anything w the clit. Ik that’s a conversation o should have w him, but I want to prepare for sex. Is it possible to “train” myself to orgasm through vaginal penetration?

Also, If anyone has any tips on how to make it not seem like I’m an absolute beginner at sexual intimacy pls lmk 😭 pls don’t dm tho, I’d like to stick to the comments for interacting w ppl

Edit: I’m not vegan I’ve just always been curious about this

Hi guys, this is maybe a silly question but growing up I wasn’t taught much about hygiene other than shower lol. Should you put lotion down there? Obviously not inside, but on the top or labia majora?

Hi :) my (21f) bf (21m) have been together for several months and long distance for almost 3. Recently I have had a whirlwind of emotions from stressful entry exams and a recent loss of a loved one. He has been so incredibly supportive and I want to thank him, but I’m not sure how. He rly loves basketball and Star Wars, and my first thought it always to buy gifts (I’ve already bought him some basketball cards, except I wouldn’t be able to give him then until I see him again bc he’s literally on the other side of the world). Does anyone have any advice on what I can do?

Hi everyone :)

I’ve been going through a very tough time recently with entry exams for med school and a loss in the family, but I decided to give myself a win and I wanted to share it with others. I have been working at least part time since high school, I completed college in 7 semesters, and am currently 7 months post-grad with a full time job. For college I was very fortunate to get scholarships and other aid through my moms job benefits, but I still accrued about 9k in federal loans. I’ve worked really hard to support my family while saving money to pay off my loans and I did it :) with everything going on this feels like only a small win (esp because I’ll be in much more debt after I go to med school) but Im glad to have some source of happiness at the moment

Basically the title. My bf of 6 months (2 of them long distance) is in his home country for summer break and has been going out w friends a lot recently. Which is great!! I love that he’s having fun and connecting with the people he hasn’t been able to see while in another country for uni. But every time he goes out, he makes a point to tell me something along the lines of “these girls were hitting on me but I made it clear I was taken” and says he starts being rude to girls that aren’t me when he’s drunk. This conversation is always unprompted, I’ve never asked “oh did anyone flirt w u.” To be fair I am very inexperienced when it comes to relationships, and he knows that I was cheated on in my only other relationship. But I can’t help but feel like this is abnormal behavior. Like telling ppl ur taken is simply the bare minimum and the fact that he brings it up makes me a little uneasy. Am I just overthinking it? Do others in long distance relationships do this as a way to reassure their partner?

Im 21F and 5’2. Up until Covid, I was working out about 7h a week and stayed a consistent weight of 120lbs and felt great. After Covid, I haven’t really been in the gym and have now reached my highest weight of 140. I feel so weak and tired and overall gross (not just appearance-wise, but physically too). I work full time and getting myself to go to the gym everyday feels impossible. I decided to focus on healthy, veggie and protein based meals and was consistent with it for a week, and then had a death in my family 2 days ago and now just getting out of bed feels impossible. Does anyone have any advice on small, low-effort lifestyle changes to implement that can help me get back to how I used to be?
