Honestly, considering moving closer to it, or change your work aspiration (it's not worth an internship).

Reply to comment by [deleted] in LPT Request: My neck is sticky after I wake up. Solution? by Tipic_a
Agreed. I find some memory foam pillows can hold heat and are not really breathable. I don’t notice I sweat more but I do get the urge to move my head / neck due to the heat / discomfort.

HR is not your friend. They only care about the company, not the employees 😒

Not always. Especially for women. There are hormonal disorders and other things that affect weight. PCOS for example makes it very hard to lose weight

Now I’m obsessed with how I can’t keep my eyes still.

Reply to LPT Request: How to tell a friend that their negative talk (raging) needs to stop? by swishphish1
The video game stuff is common and is a problem. First step is to make sure he knows you (and anyone within 100 meters) hears it clearly. Sometimes people don't realize how loud it is and we'll be embarrassed and that others don't like it. Next time he screams fully scream his name back, him: rage screaming, you: "KYLE FUCKING CHILL". Using the same volume can be important to remind him there's no emergency, everyone can hear, it's weird and interrupts, and there's no reason to be upset.
The general negativity part (especially during activities) you should just be very direct. Tell him to relax, chill, stop 'freaking out', etc..., and tell him what you said here, he's usually not a great bowler and ask why he's upset. Listen to the answer.
He might be complaining for attention, he might feel a weird sense of failure or competition you can help resolve.
A lot of the comments are very 'conflict avoidance' methods, or come of like a weirdly serious intervention. This isn't that serious but it's still annoying, handle it directly without it being a huge deal. None of this "Kyle we need to talk, come sit down, this is a safe space" but call it out when it happens or beforehand and don't treat it like a delicate and dangerous issue, relax and be casual and simply call it out.

I do. I have 48 notes in my notes folder.
Except I forget they're there until I make another note to not forget the new idea/thing I have to do.

But in which of the 22 notebooks did I write it? And will I be able to decipher it later? I always have notebooks and pens around (we're stationary whores, good pens, nice notebooks), but for shit I need to remember, samsung notes on my phone. Good tip, just adding to write it down in a place you'll remember.

Sounds like you live in SoCal. I feel like we’re the only ones who understand these 2 very common scenarios.

Generally speaking, you can be pretty sure anyone willing to steal your car is also willing to break a window to do so.

I used to do this with post-its, but the more post-its you have the less effective they are! Now I just keep an open notebook on my desk for brain dumps instead.

You need to shorten your commute by a lot. 5 hours is not going to work. You’ll be over it by the next semester, if not sooner. If you can’t do work/school online then I would suggest moving closer. You can live on campus or sublet a room for cheap. Although I have no idea what your living situation is like
