Ok so my college dorm did something kinda stupid. EVERY ROOM GETS A GOLDFISH essentially, I kid you not they knocked on my door, gave me a half full plastic cup with a little food and said “here’s your new friend” ok lovely. Ik I should’ve said no, but I was so thrown off guard it was too late. Now I had to go and buy a tank. Look Ik it’s 20+ gallons but I am not doing that since I am not keeping this thing so I just bought a fishbowl just so it can have some room for the time being. I had to run to Walmart tonight to get it. Just so it’s not staying in a plastic cup. Like I’ve done practically no research on this. So now I need to either bring it home and keep it as a family pet (I’m in-state) or I need to give it to someone else cause this can’t stay submitted by /u/ImmortalSpy14 to r/Goldfish [link] [comments]

so basically my new roomate isn’t going to any of her classes and i’m starting to get worried. my schedule is really busy as an engineering student and pretty much everyday im gone from our room like 8-10pm give or take, but i get the occasionally break where i stop by our dorm. whenever i get back to the room i ask her how her day went she responds “oh I didn’t go to class hahah,” and i’m just kind of dumbfounded at this point. everytime i come back to the room she’s either watching tv/youtube videos or playing video games. i jokingly remarked to her “dang girl im jealous you have all this time to watch youtube, do you not have homework?” to which she responded, “i’m not sure i havent checked my classes.” it’s week 3 of classes, and i’m 100% sure she had late homework. i also feel bad because she has expressed to me how much anxiety she has over attending a new college, and how she’s scared of people. to this i’ve invited her to meals, a football game, a study session at the library, and random campus events of which she all doesn’t want to attend. i don’t think she necessarily understands how behind she’s getting in her classes. it essentially sucks for me watching her fall down a hole where she doesn’t care about classes or social activities. why pay all this money to attend college, when you’re not going to attend college? while i also feel bad about her anxiety, i don’t want to “baby” her. but i still feel a sense of regret when i leave the dorm everyday while she doesn’t. submitted by /u/soupy_stella to r/college [link] [comments]

I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Key_Conclusion5511 Originally posted to r/EntitledPeople You "owe it to your sister (who's married) and niece" Thanks to u/theboringhistoryfan for suggesting this BoRU Trigger Warnings: entitlement, controlling behavior, emotional manipulation, financial exploitation, harassment Original Post: July 14, 2025 I called my father this morning to see how they were all doing --- before he said good morning, he asked what the FUCK is a dorm shower and why are (my) in-laws asking for money and gifts? Background: My husband, children (adult teens now), and I went no contact with my husbands entire immediate family and most extended relatives since 2016. That's 9+ years of not talking to, contacting, or having any type of relationship or interactions. We gave them over 20 years of chances and boundaries and consequences --- that's to say it wasn't a "rash" decision that was made selfishly or thoughtlessly. Through the years they send us (in the actual USPS mail because they're blocked everywhere else) requests for gifts. You see, they like to create registries (like you would for a bridal or baby shower) and fill them with obscenely priced items for simple things like birthdays, Christmas, graduation, anniversaries, and every little I farted and therefore I deserve an expensive gift event. Onto last week into today I called my husbands Aunt to catch-up (she's the only one we're still in contact with) and she gave me a heads-up that my in-laws were trying to get her to pay (they used the term donate) over $100,000 (not a typo) for the golden granddaughters dorm fees 🙄🤔🤦 because "we're family and we need to stick together and do our part" when the lady who is living a modest life and on social security said absolutely not! they then sent her an invitation (via text) to the dorm shower and husband's aunt said it was beyond ridiculous --- not to mention the request for straight-up cash when she graduated. In the meanwhile --- I'm getting texts and calls from old acquaintances and childhood friends (we all grew up in the same town and inlaws still live there but we've moved about 4 hrs away) saying that my in-laws are harassing them and trying to get ahold of our information (because we changed our cell numbers and blocked them everywhere we digitally could) Last week in the mail I received an actual printed invite along with registry information --- not one place, BUT THREE SEPARATE STORES and because we were curious we (my whole family found it comical) took a peek. The cheapest thing on there was a pack of washclothes in the $60 range, followed by a power strip at $120, and the prices went up from there including items in the $2000 range. They even had commercial type appliances which YOU CAN'T EVEN TAKE/USE IN A DORM ROOM. So, why are they even on there? 🤯. Then the phone calls started rolling in (which were sent to voicemail) from phone numbers we aren't familiar with. MIL ended up leaving a message. (Husband's name) this is your mom. (Niece's name) Is going away for college and we need you to contribute $100,000 for her dorm. We also sent YOU (apparently the rest of us no longer exist) an invitation to her dorm shower and a picture from her graduation (which had requests for straight-up money without even hosting a party). Don't disappoint us because you "owe it" to your niece and sister. First of all, No to the fuckity NO! 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕. Second, niece's parents make more than half a million a year (they both work for the state, love to brag, and their salaries are posted -- found that out from Aunt). So.... shouldn't they easily be able to afford their child's dorm necessities? Third, my husband and I have our own two children in university. One going into sophomore year and one going into junior year and we NEVER made any grand announcements much less requests for money. They also chose to stay local in order to save money. Fourth, WTF are you trying to get money and gifts out of my parents and others elderly relatives? Arent there law's against swindling senior citizens? My husband dropped everything into the shredder and I erased the voicemail with full intent of remaining and maintaining no contact. In the last two hours, I've gotten 6 calls from numbers I don't know but area codes that are from their area with nobody leaving any messages. WTF? Just when you think you're out they try and pull you back into their fuckery. So fucking tired and the NERVE to do that! They didn't even bother asking about their BIOLOGICAL grandchildren that they claim to "love with all their hearts" Edit I'm so sorry that I didn't explain it correctly To be clear it's two separate things Request one: $100,000 for dorm fees and boarding so essentially rent and food Request two: "dorm shower" registering for gifts at specific stores that people are "expected" to buy for you off of a list produced/chosen by the graduate Edit 2 - how did mil get the number We don't know, we did have a friend say that they gave out our address (which they had anyway) We have friends and my family that still live there ---our home town that we both (me and husband) grew up in Many people go to the same church weekly and many of the in-laws attend -- that's the most probable place We still gave our new numbers to our friends and my family MIL managed to get our new number and nobody has confessed to giving it to her I'm also getting a lot of calls from random numbers I don't know and they're not leaving voicemails --- that coincides with MIL calling MIL as of right now has left a single message Reverse directory on the other numbers doesn't give me information Somehow at the very least MIL has gotten our number We don't know if the other calls are related to MIL because they don't leave voicemails but considering the uptick in calls and the message from Mil we think it's related to each other Thank you to all who read this novel length post, the advice, laughs, and the recommendations for Google voice (it's been already implemented) No further voicemails at this time I will update if anything pops off ☺️. TLDR: inlaws suck from top to bottom, inside and out and all I want is for them to STOP Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Wow. The sheer audacity. You unfortunately probably need to change your phone numbers again. I’m sorry. UpdateMe OOP: I just keep blocking everything We've changed our numbers at least twice (me three times and husband twice) already and they badger someone until they give it up --- it feels like we need to go into witness protection and even then I don't think we'd be safe Thank you for reading and taking the time to respond 😊 Commenter 2: Maybe it’s time to talk to a lawyer to see what your options are legally speaking - restraining order or a cease and desist letter etc. OOP: My husband doesn't want to do that because A) he's cheap B) you can't do that to "family" (but all the crap they've done is ok?! 😞) I'm exhausted by all of it Commenter 2: Honestly, I’d be pretty pissed if my husband made those excuses. OOP: I've known my husband since we were children He was very much "brainwashed" by them and I was too young and stupid to understand the lifetime implications of getting married to someone like that What I tell my children and all their friends is to pay attention to what they do, what they don't do, and what they allow YOU to be exposed to. And you're right! I have spent a good portion of my marriage pissed at what others were bringing to my doorstep. Was OOP's husband the favorite and how were her kids treated in the family? OOP: My husband is not one of the "favorites", my kids were treated like garbage When they were little we would host simple birthday parties --- at home, homemade delicious food, a variety of pastries and of course cake. We never registered for gifts and we accepted whatever they bought over with grace. Amongst the "gifts" were used and stained clothes and part of a set (so it would have a tag that said three piece set and we would only be given the pants instead of the complete outfit) not to mention the filthy clearly used toys and water stained books. They would come in through the front and I would put everything into a garbage bag and place it in the garage because that's how bad it was. They would turn around a few months later and invite us to their birthday party complete with registry --- we're talking library bound entire dr Seuss sets and outdoor wood playgrounds. . They saw nothing wrong with what they were doing and no shame --- like at all What is OOP's husband's take on this situation? OOP: As of now, he wants to maintain no contact Prior to the no contact he was a diplomatic fence sitter and it infuriated me because his silence was the equivalent of acceptance I credit our children for somewhat dragging him out of the "fog" but it's been a two steps forward one step back deal and there are cultural expectations and dysfunction that comes into play. Brainwashing would be the best way to describe it and doing what they wanted was his easiest choice. These people are not normal or "controllable" and they are a VERY large family. MIL has 6 siblings FIL has 5 each sibling had a minimum of 3 children and one had 10 (with 2 deaths in their middle age) those children have gotten married and have children --- when you oppose one you become their enemy. So picture a non-stop barge of Bible thumping and telling you that you're all going to hell and cursing our family and children. Conversations don't work (we gave them over 20 years of chances), I refuse to fight, and I refuse to submit therefore we ignore It's been over 9 years. I trust but verify EVERYTHING and haven't seen anything of concern I simply hate the noise they create in my life that I don't want and isn't necessary. My husband doesn't like talking about them and said "wtf are they doing? Why are they going to (my) parents?" After we had our fun with the registry information he popped everything into the shredder. It's not easy and I understand that so I give him the grace to allow him to change. We've been married over 30 years. I think I answered your question Commenter 3: And how is letting you be subjected to harassment somehow NOT him imploding your marriage? Because you sound like you're at your wits end with these people and he refuses to take steps. A cease and dessist letter might work, no need to even go to court. But your husband prefers to bury his head in the sand and let you be harassed. OOP: You're not wrong but there's more to the story that doesn't make anything "easy" but I'm not naive and there's a plan in place if things go south. He's trying and I'm giving him grace to change and learn but I'm not stupid and my patience isn't infinite OOP provides some context and an example of her in-laws' entitlement OOP: My in-laws didn't approve of our marriage They didn't want us to succeed They thought that without them and their "help and influence" --- we would be nothing We proved them wrong If we had anything or were successful in any capacity --- they couldn't stand it! Example We bought our first condo -- they felt entitled and wanted keys so they could come and go as they pleased. I said no! They waited till we were at work and tried getting in using a locksmith (they claimed to be the owners and look their name is on the buzzer and they hadn't had time to change their driver's license). The locksmith went to the managers office (because they often have spare keys) and because I had been in-and-out of the managers office getting approvals for our renovations --- they knew right away that they weren't the owners and called the police. Police showed up and were talking to the manager, we pulled up to see my in-laws standing next to the cop car along with another officer. They explained what happened, we reaffirmed that they had no rights to enter, they asked us if we wanted to press charges, husband said no --- but I begged the officer to scare the crap out of them and he kindly did. This is not even the worst of it! So, their logic is to constantly take everything that they can take --- so we get overrun with debt while they keep progressing and achieving. Thus proving to everyone that we were losers and they projected it. Why do they try? Because they can and think eventually they're going to be successful   Update: July 22, 2025 (eight days later) Update and gossip We are maintaining no contact (no gifts or donations of $100,000) because what they ultimately want is a reaction or contact. We refuse to fight, and we refuse to submit therefore we ignore. Our silence is a clear message that they don't hold any value in our lives and that drives them absolutely crazy. Google voice has been setup and everything else is being blocked on the landline if they don't leave a message or aren't part of our contacts Mil at this point has left a single message but we've received at least 50 calls (last time I counted) from numbers that we don't know but we suspect are MIL's flying monkeys I still don't understand why they're asking for $100,000 for dorm rent and food --- because anyway I look at it, the math ain't mathing. I spoke to my cousin (a lawyer not in my area) and gave her all the information and asked her if anything could be done? She reached out to a retired colleague who used to practice and now teaches and they basically said to continue to ignore because legally --- "not much can be done". Annoying but it is what it is 😕 Now onto the gossip 😁 My dad and uncle's are part of the church board and have been for decades. They (the board, secretary, and clergy) get together every Monday and review the week ahead, deal with issues, and approve or reject anything that needs to be dealt with. Pretty standard stuff. The in-laws attend the church but aren't really active in terms of committees, fundraising, and activities planning. MIL has volunteered ONCE at a bake sale in the 40+ years of living in the community and attending this church The church has a huge banquet room that includes a stage, bar area, and fountain --- it's used for church functions, plays, bazaars, dinner dances, parties -- and can be rented out FOR A FEE. EVERYONE pays some sort of fee. The fee has a complete breakdown of everything. There are two prices --- one for steward's (members that pay a yearly membership to the church) and one for non stewards (nonmembers or anyone else who would like to rent the space). If you're a member then you get the rentals at cost (so the church doesn't really make anything extra on the rental).If you're not a member then there's an upcharge for using the space. MIL and SIL want to rent the space because they're anticipating 200+ people for the dorm shower. They filled in a request online that requires you to input your information , steward # , information about the what the party is for, how many people, what vendors, if there will be liquor, and special requests. The board reviews it and if they have questions they make follow up calls. The secretary had MIL on speakerphone so that everyone could listen and ask questions if needed. They aren't current stewards --- last time they were stewards was when their kids were little (no judgement, just explaining). They used their steward number from decades ago and played stupid when the secretary said that they need to be current stewards in order to get the discount. They know this because they tried to pull the same crap for SILs big bridal shower (she had a total of 5) as well as the Christenings of her children The church HAS to pull a variety of permits depending on what type of party you're having, insurance, plus security, liquor permits, custodians and a few other things I'm sure I'm forgetting. There's a pre-approved list of vendors that you need to choose from if you want to serve food or liquor and they set their own prices SEPARATELY from the church. If you want to rent the space, those are the rules and have been for over 30 years If you follow the rules then it's pretty seamless and I've used them plenty of times throughout the years without ANY issues. MIL then tried to negotiate the price because they have volunteered sooooo much throughout the years (ONCE, you volunteered ONCE 🙄) Then she tries to say that they're going to bring in their own food and liquor. Church said you have to use the pre-approved vendors or you can't serve food or beverages Then MIL pivots and wants to charge a fee to enter and have a cash bar (so she can use the space and knowing her -- upcharge to make a profit). The church explains that there would be additional paperwork and fees for that paperwork. MIL doesn't like that and says to "just forget it!" Under special requests: she wanted the choir to donate a performance and at the end they wanted to do some sort of parade. My dad said that they were all just sitting there shaking their heads at the ridiculousness of MIL. The fact that the party is supposed to happen "supposedly" the first week of August --- with the address on the original invite being SILs house address. So 200+ people are going to go into a residential neighborhood with limited parking for a dorm shower 🤣 I'm sure it'll be as classy as they are Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Send them a list of all the money they 'owe' you for your kids as family. Birthdays, sick days, first pubic hair, and every party they 'didn't bother attending let alone pay for like a good family should' make sure its such a stupid amount they never ever want to speak to you again. OOP: 🤣 My oldest kids first birthday --- they "forgot". On their second birthday --- they "forgot" again and decided to go on a cruise --- they're retired and have never gone on vacation during that time because it's a HUGE cultural holiday for them Their ridiculousness and entitlement is something that was a constant source of conflict in my marriage. They seem to forget that my husband even has children Commenter 2: Very doubtful anywhere near that number of people will show up. People, most people anyway, will be hugely turned off by the obvious money grab. It's glaringly pathetic. I have to ask, you don't have to answer, buy is this in the US or is this some cultural expectation where everyone pitches in to support "family"? It's so mind blowing I'm just really curious. How does the kid feel about all this? I'd be humiliated if my family did this to me. Is she just going along with it? Can't wait for the update after the party if you find out what happened. OOP: Definitely in the USA. Everyone immigrated here starting in the mid 1900's but they held onto their culture tightly My husband and I share the same faith but we're from different cultures, speak different languages with similarities in food, culture expectations, and traditions The last time I saw the graduate was 9 years ago and she was a HORRIBLY ENTITLED child --- she was "something" and I had to watch her closely because she would actively try and hurt my kids, like flip them off a hammock onto the concrete, pushing them down the stairs, and pushing them underwater in a kid pool. Is it possible that she's changed --- sure Is it probable --- I don't think so Commenter 3: Are there other grandkids (besides yours which clearly don't count) that they have tried to pull this crap for, or is this one a "special flower"? OOP: At the time of no contact there were a total of 4. 2 are SILs and the other 2 mine I know there are more -- I'm guessing a total of 12 maybe 13 🤷 and I don't know the dynamics. We have gotten other requests in the mail but we ignored those as well -- some being shredded without even being opened OOP on the family values from her in-laws OOP: They are just.... 😕 When SIL had her second kid -- we drove OVER 4hrs through winter weather and construction to bring them gifts for the new baby (they insisted and we felt obligated because it was for the baby -- I would have preferred to wait until spring or summer) They accepted the gifts, pastries, flowers and then acted like we were intruding. I literally had the kids get undressed, use the bathroom, say hi to the baby from afar, get redressed and leave --- we stayed for 45 minutes and I'm being generous. Like why? They value the gift not the family Commenter 4: What is the niece’s part in all this? Willing participant or embarrassed? OOP: I don't know her now, as a young adult, but she was a very entitled horrible child If I had to guess --- willing participant Commenter 5: Sounds like MIL is throwing a dorm shower scam circus and expecting everyone else to foot the bill. OOP: That has been her MO for years --- SIL's Mil (so SIL husband's mom) got burned by MIL at the big bridal shower and ended covering over half the cost of 400+ guests when she only had under 20 guests MIL tried pulling the same crap at the baby shower and SIL's Mil didn't invite anyone and didn't show because she was "sick" --- she did buy a ton off the baby registry that SIL's husband brought to the shower. She just didn't want to deal with my MIL 🤡 OOP and her husband don't need to contribute to the niece's dorm shower OOP: My husband received an actual picture of the graduate and a link to some "fun fund" and then a separate invitation to the dorm shower With them it's an AND not OR We're going to contribute to them what they contributed to us --- NOTHING   Latest Update here: BoRU #2   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

My kid is heading off to college and moving into the dorms this fall. He had a bunch of great options, but he’s officially committed to UC Berkeley’s School of Chemical Engineering (yes, I’m both proud and slightly terrified). Once we got the dorm assignment and the list of recommended items, I went straight to Vine. The image above shows most of what I’ve been able to snag so far—16 items and counting. I’m almost done… but still on the hunt for the elusive Twin XL Mattress Topper. A few months ago, I’d scroll right past them without a second thought. Now I’m obsessively checking daily like it’s a limited drop. Apparently, those dorm mattresses are more "institutional" than "inviting." Anyone else stocking up for dorm life? What are your must-haves or hidden gems from Vine?

thought it was a really cool idea, then read the comments from all of you about how easy it would be to DIY. it was! i ripped apart my $10 target dorm mirror for the glass, designed the UI part in Figma with this UI kit from Figma Community and this icon pack from Internet Archive. sent it off to a printing company for adhesive vinyl (~$70), then put it on a piece of particleboard from home depot (~$15)! also covered the sides with aluminum foil HVAC tape. the most difficult part was probably getting all the glue off the cheap mirror without breaking it haha submitted by /u/carbonatedbeans to r/graphic_design [link] [comments]

SO, this one is going to be kind of long as this has been going on for 6 months now… i have just finished my second year at university and have been living in the same house in student accommodation the whole time. the student accommodation isn’t dorms, but a gated community of town houses that is a 5 minute walk from campus. each house has 5 rooms, 1 downstairs that is a ‘premium’ room as it is bigger (the room that i live in), and 4 upstairs rooms. each room has their own bathroom, but the kitchen, dining area and living area are all shared by the housemates. additionally, we all only pay rent for our own rooms so as people come and go from the university, we don’t have to deal with replacing roommates, etc., and management of the “village” is responsible for putting in new housemates and dealing with individual contracts. here’s where it all goes wrong. at this point i’ve lived in my room in my house for 1.5 years and never had any issues with housemates (ive had upwards of 8 from all sorts of backgrounds and things were fine). the place is pretty chill, and everyone who lives there HAS to be a student at the university and is usually around 18-25 years old. semester 2 of university starts (around june as i live in australia) and there are 3 vacant rooms upstairs so im expecting some new housemates. as i come home one day, i see two middle aged ladies sitting at the dining table, so as i walk in the door i introduce myself and say that i live here and ask who they are, and to my shock they say they are my new housemates. they explain that they are masters students who are both 40 years old and have just moved to australia from Korea together (one of them has a husband and 2 kids that she has left back home!!). at first things are ok, but at around the second week of us living together things get strange. they message the house group chat complaining about a mess in the dining room that needed cleaning (which was just my jacket left on one of the chairs as i had forgotten to put it in my bag on my way to class). they said that they couldn’t eat lunch at the table because it was there, which i thought was strange (why couldn’t they just move it?) but i said sorry anyways and put it back in my room. things like this continue to happen until it starts to really frustrate me and my friend (who lives in one of the upstairs rooms). the ladies then come up with their own rules for the house without consulting the rest of the housemates (who are all ages 19-21), and post them on the group chat. these include a DAILY vacuuming schedule, disinfecting the microwave after every use, forbidding the use or opening of the sliding doors to the house, keeping the curtains shut at all times during the day, we cannot make any noise (even playing music on our phones on half volume in our own rooms) and insisting that when they are using the kitchen or common areas, we cannot be in the kitchen or common areas either. me and my friend who lives upstairs decided to talk to them about these ‘rules’ because we both have lived in the house for 1.5 years and these ladies have lived here for 2 weeks, and we think that they are a bit unfair, ESPECIALLY as it is a very social place as it is university accommodation that is kind of made to accommodate younger students looking to make friends and enjoy the university culture/environment. we talked to them super nicely and said that we want to make sure that they are comfortable in this house, and that we are willing to make adjustments if they are too so that everybody can be happy. instead of being polite, they essentially told us that they think because they are masters students and older than us, that they get to make the rules and we have to listen. i pointed out nicely pointed out after this that at the end of the day, we pay the same rent (i pay more as i have the downstairs room, but i didn’t say that) and that in this house we are equals and should all treat each other with respect despite any age differences. After this, things got pretty tense pretty quickly and they became nasty. They would yell at us whenever we came downstairs, complain about tiny things, and ultimately write emails to management about us saying untrue things, and making it out to sound like we are hoarders and slobs who are forcing them to live in squalor. none of this i would like to point out is true, our house is usually pretty clean but of course there is just a bit of general mess that is created by existing as a human beings in the house, that we clean up at the end of the day after university if we haven’t already cleaned immediately after we made any mess (dishes, a few crumbs on the carpet, etc.). Also, our house gets monthly inspections to check for cleanliness and we have never failed. naturally, admin takes their complaints pretty seriously and now we have been told off (even though the two ladies have attached no photographical evidence of the “mess”) and our house now has WEEKLY inspections. additionally, we are now only allowed guests once at a time, for one hour at a time with their permission, even if we are just in our own rooms not making noise. admin doesn’t take us seriously when we try to tell them about the situation because we are half their age, and obviously they are going to believe the 40 year olds rather than the 20 year olds. Anyways, I asked admin to make them attach photos of the “mess” they were complaining about every few days and to my surprise i received a call from admin shorty afterwards. in the phone call they said, we have received another complain from your housemates but after looking at the photos, we completely agree that “they are making mountains out of mole hills” and that they too are “sick of dealing with their complaints.” another side note, i have a pretty severe anxiety disorder and having to deal with this whole situation for the last 6 months has been awful for my mental health. i haven’t been able to leave my room when they are out in the common spaces and even have panic attacks when using the kitchen for fear of them coming back and yelling at me. because of this i’ve been planning on moving out of the house, but family/financial situations haven’t allowed that. it’s holidays right now so im staying with my parents, but when semester starts up again in february i truly don’t know what im going to do to deal with them, the disrespect and endless complaints… ALSO my friend from upstairs has now moved out because of them and the lack of support from admin, so im on my own. hopefully the new housemate who fills that room will be nice. another note, in my opinion they are WAY too old to be living in student housing, and i just want to know what they expected when moving in with three 20yos?! and its not like there isn’t other cheap accommodation around. they moved together from korea, so why don’t they just move into their own apartment together if they have such a specific way for how they want to live?!?! also its not like they don’t know about the other housing options, because one day they showed me cheap apartments in the area that they suggested i move into because they didn’t want to live with me anymore…. what do you guys think? am i in the wrong here?! submitted by /u/moidlettuce to r/badroommates [link] [comments]

So, I know it might seem a bit stupid, but its important to me. It is currently a argument with my family. I(25, F) had my prom in 2017 and I bought my entire prom outfit for myself due to my family not having the best economy and I saved for over a year to be able to buy my dream dress and jewelry(everything in total about $300, which is a lot for us). I had an amazing time and that dress is very important to me since I have never had the best self confidence and it made me feel beautiful. ​ Now my sister(18, F, lets call her Annie) is having her prom later this year and she asked if she could use my dress as well. She loves it and wished to use it. I told her that I would prefer if she didnt since it is so important to me(I also have a nero disorder and it makes it hard for me to let other people use my things) and she said okay and said she at least wanted to ask, but she was fine with finding another dress and I said Id help pay if she wanted (and if she wanted, she was welcome to use the jewellry, she will wear the hair accessories) I am pretty stable in income. Annie thanked me and said we could go shopping together. Now, I live about three hours away from my family due to school and I dont go home often due to not having a car. I came home last week to visit as my nephews(cousins kids, shes like a sister) are getting baptised. When I walk through the front door to my parents house, Annie is wearing my prom dress and my grandma and mom are taking messurments. I ask them what they are doing and they said that I'm being am AH for not letting Annie use it. She is my "baby sister" after all(moms words). I got upset and screamed at Annie to take it off, which I later apologised for, she believed I changed my mind since mom said I had agreed. I yelled at my mom and grandma because they tried to go behind my back and even change the dress to better fit Annie, she is 155lbs, I was almost 300lbs when I wore it. I cried and yelled at them. As soon as Annie came back with my dress, I took it and packed it down, saying I'd stay with my cousin. Now my family is torn. Some people agreeing with me and some saying Im an AH for not letting Annie use it. I dont feel like I was in the wrong for not letting her use it, after all it was all my dress that I payed for and I even offered to pay for her dress. So AITA? EDIT: Since a lot of people have mentioned not wearing it again. I have worn it since. It's not the typical "prom dress", its more a flowy summer dress Also, the reason I didn't bring it with me is because I live in a dorm room and I could only bring the essentials with me. Once I move to a bigger place, I planned on bringing all my stuff to my new place. The dress is currently at my cousins place and I might bring it back with me when I go home. Please don't blame my sister for this. Her and I have talked it out and we're on good terms. We will buy a dress together once her prom gets closer(May) submitted by /u/PROM15E-BEL13VE to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

So I (25F) recently learned that one of my best friends from college, Lila (25F) is engaged. I’m incredibly happy for her, and I was initially excited until she told me what her and her fiancé Ben’s (27M) plans are for the wedding. For some background, I met Lila in college. We were dorm roomies in freshman year, then roommates again at a nearby apartment in junior year. Senior year, she moved in with Ben and I got a new roommate. A few months later, the pandemic began. Ben and Lila used the pandemic to try and develop interests together. Both of them enjoy their at-home movie dates, so they tried to find film and tv series to watch together. A month into this endeavor, one of Ben’s friends suggests Game of Thrones, and to say they got hooked is an understatement. Aside from her chosen field of study/work, I have legitimately never seen Lila so passionate about something. It became her and Ben’s life. They watched the series, read the books, and even started dressing up for conventions. I thought it was super sweet, but I’m not much of a high fantasy person, and I’ve heard the show is heavy on gore and SA, which I have a lot of trouble sitting through. Lila did invite once to a re-watch party she and Ben hosted the next year (2021) but I declined and told her why, and she’s not made efforts to get me interested since and says she gets it. While I would definitely call Lila and Ben’s interest in the show obsessive, they don’t push it onto other people and it’s not caused issues so far when me or other friends aren’t into it. That being said, I’m worried that if I refuse to be a bridesmaid in her wedding due to her Game of Thrones theme, I’m worried she’ll actually take it poorly. I don’t know if this makes me an asshole, but I genuinely do not want to put money into dress/hair/makeup for me to be styled as an imaginary character for a wedding. It feels ridiculous. She and her husband are going to be married dressed as their favorite characters (who are also either in a relationship or they think they should be? All the names are hard to keep up with and I get them confused), and the bridesmaids and groomsmen will also be styled to look like other characters, and the guests will be asked to wear the “house colors” of the character the bride or the groom is dressed as, depending on which one invited them. We haven’t been “assigned” characters yet, but I don’t care, I don’t want to do it. I want Ben and Lila to have their special day, and I want it to be what they want, but I don’t want to pay good money for what are essentially costumes of fake people. It feels weird, but I want to be supportive and not be a dick. WIBTA if I backed out? EDIT: Just to clarify two things: my main concern is how much money I’ll have to sink into this because she doesn’t want simple dresses that sort of go with the characters, she wants full (somewhat extensive) costuming and most likely expensive styled lace fronts. I don’t want to sink money into something that I’m going to feel ridiculous wearing. Also, I wasn’t necessarily asked, I was just added to a group chat and she said “you’re all going to be my bridesmaids!” I replied excitedly before she started rolling out all of these expectations. EDIT 2: I can’t keep up with these comments, but I’m seeing some common threads. No I don’t think her wedding idea is stupid. No it’s not the theme that’s throwing me off. No I don’t hate the show. She wants us to get new custom wigs and costumes, it will be at serious expense to each of us, and she will be keeping it all afterwards to display in her Game of Thrones room. I love Lila and I think her wedding theme is going to be fun, I just don’t know if I can financially keep up, and if I could, it would be a lot of money going to something I really won’t be comfy in that I then have to turn over to her, so I’ll never get any more use out it. That’s where my conflicting lies. I do not hate her or her theme or the show, I’m just worried about being physically uncomfortable in an expensive costume, that will then go on a mannequin. It’s also going to be an outdoor ceremony in spring and I’m worried about the layers getting too warm. submitted by /u/YogurtclosetOk8317 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I received this list in the mail. There were definitely things I didn't think of to bring. Are there any things that you wish you would have thought of or were essential for your dorm experience? submitted by /u/Bulb381 to r/UWMadison [link] [comments]

I'm a broke college student. After I pay off most necessary bills I have about 200-250 bucks left to survive the month (food, moving around, all that), and I used 150 of it for this month (bad planning :[ ). So I currently have a 70 to survive the rest of the month. I live away from my mom, who was... Not a prime example of one. My dad raised me mostly- I stay in touch, however. So after I had a long happy call with dad (he repetitively told me that he does not need any gifts, knowing I was broke as a shattered teapot) I used 20 of my funds to buy her a big pot of carnations. Not the fancy one, but a big plantable one: she has a lawn. I placed in in her room and rode the train back to my dorm. And hours later I get a call. She's disappointed. Apparantly she came home expecting something bigger but the only thing she got was this pot of carnations. She voiced disappointment to me and didn't answer my question of "You didn't tell me what you wanted so I got you flowers?" and cut the call off. Didnt even answer my calls after. Now I feel dumb, mad, and guilty. I don't know why I feel guilty, because I feel like I did best I can without the boundaries of starving myself, but I feel it and I feel awful. Just. I went to the farmers market for that, man. I know it was a lousy present, but it was the best I could do. I tried yet I feel like I failed. I hate mother's day. Edit: Thank you so much for all your kind words. I'm actually ugly crying, thank you.... And an update- Just got a single text that went like "You have enough money to deliver pizzas to your dorm but not enough to give more for me?" I. Alright. Alright, I say, as I open a instant package of pho noodles. Edit 2: Thank you guys so much for the support and love. I didn't know that this would get so big and all the kind words are just flooring me so much. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You guys are absolutely wonderful. Final update for the situation: I managed to muster up courage to carefully ask her about what she didnt like about my present. Her response was "What present? I didn't get one." Apparently she thinks that the flowers are just a given. Like, the carefully selected flowers are a given measly thing for mother's day that it did not even count as a present for her. Essentially, in her eyes, she got "A measly pot of flowers and absolutely no gifts." Yeah! Yeah. Let me just go lie down on the floor. submitted by /u/cresentcube to r/CasualConversation [link] [comments]

Hello Friends! My little brother and I are shopping for dorm stuff today. We are estranged from my mom, so I'm doing my best to fill the role, and get him ready for college! What items would you recommend that aren't on all the 'dorm room essential' lists? Thank you so much guys! I appreciate you! Edit: you guys have been so wonderfully kind and helpful! Thanks again for all your help and support. It really does mean a lot. submitted by /u/whatanexperienceitis to r/college [link] [comments]

Wondering some things you've brought to your dorm/apartment that have actually ended up being really clutch, going into my senior year and want to make sure my room is kitted nice. submitted by /u/iCanttWin to r/college [link] [comments]

My daughter is 16, and will be 17 in August. In September, I'm going to move her across the country because she will be starting College at a very good school (she skipped a grade, graduated HS a year earlier than her peers). ​ Last week my daughter graduated HS. We packed up her room (the essentials) from her Mom's house (divorced) as she wont be going back to live there...we're going straight from my house to her College dorm. A few days ago, my daughter asks me for a ride to my friend Tony's house because she is getting a tattoo. I was surprised because she never mentioned this to me before. It was definitely framed to me as if this was already approved, she just wanted to go with me to get it done. We stayed up all night looking at designs, coming up with colorways/shading, and deciding on location. The next day we went to Tony's and she got a small 2" x 4" tattoo above her ankle. I've known Tony since High School, he's been a tattoo artist for 20 years. I completely trust everything he's associated with when it comes to tattoos. He even did MY first tattoo when WE were in High School. The entire experience was actually a blast for me. I haven't felt that close to my daughter in years, we really bonded over the whole thing. To see the guy who gave me my first tatt also give her her first made me shed a tear. ​ Of course the next day she posts pics online, and her Mom flips her shit. She calls me screaming about how irresponsible I am. I honestly didn't know her Mom wouldn't be OK with it. She has tried her hardest to cut me out of all decision-making about Daughter, so the norm is they make the decisions amongst themselves and I'm just sometimes along for the ride (and to pay). She's also cut me out of multiple milestones in Daughter's life. Graduations, performances, games, etc. Until Daughter was old enough to tell me directly, I was never invited so I missed a lot of moments. ​ Obviously Daughter was aware of this, which is why she simply stated to me "I'm getting a tattoo" instead of asking me. I definitely reprimanded her for misleading me, but otherwise, whats the big deal? Wife has been OK with her having sex since 13, picked her own High School and College, is fine with her moving across the country in a few months to attend and live by herself. Why are we acting like she is not capable of deciding this on her own? Would it be better if she gets it done 5 months from now from some shitty kid doing tatts out his dorm room with used needles? ​ Mom is livid. She threatened to call the police. Threatened to pick up Daughter and bring her back to her house. Tried to make me take her to get the tattoo removed. None of this is happening. A culture was created in which I don't get input on things regarding Daughter. A culture was created in which Mom allowed Daughter to make decisions for herself. AITA here for not double checking with Mom that a tattoo is OK? submitted by /u/tattoomyasshol to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]
