For the guy about to graduate, I’d just recommend keeping your expectations reasonable. I’ve noticed in lots of people about to graduate, myself included back in the day, they have unrealistic expectations of how much they’re going to make, how much they’re going to like (or dislike their job) and how hard they’re going to have to work to get where you want to be. Just remember you’re in charge of your destiny so work hard to accomplish your goals and enjoy the winding path to get to where you want to be.
I live in a 3 bedroom apartment that doesn’t have in unit laundry which I thought was unheard of but I guess that’s my trade-off for cheap rent in Chicago
tequila sunrise- fill a lowball glass with a shot of tequila, fill the rest of the way with orange juice and add a splash of grenadine. Perfect sweet summer drink.
I don’t know how anybody can go through 4 years of college and then, forget where they came from by banning Shout & Sweet Caroline from their wedding………….
Once you cover these bases and get a good wardrobe of clothing down, I say focus on the details. Make sure your whites are white, your shoes & belt match and that you have nice accessories that make everything look well put together like a nice watch.
I think everyone will know it’s cheap because the stuff is nicknamed Two Buck Chuck although, it costs more than two bucks now and I’m not a fan of this new label. It’s good stuff and one of my go to cheap wines, though.
here’s nothing wrong with wanting an attractive girlfriend. However, I think tigers has a point here. Just like you wouldn’t want to date a smoker if you’re trying to quit smoking, it makes perfect sense that you wouldn’t want to date someone who’s out of shape while you’re trying to get into shape. That being said, he’s better off just moving on to someone more compatible than trying to change the girl that he’s talking about.
I agree. If I matched with you, I probably find you attractive and will respond to “hey” but it’s not really the best way to get a conversation going. Literally anything whether it’s mentioning something on my profile, a joke, a cheesy pickup line, a gif, a compliment or a question is always better than hey.
To out of shape guy, I recommend If It Fits Your Macros dieting. It takes a lot of planning because you have to calculate your macros, weigh your food and log everything to be sure you’re staying on track but it’s worth it because you can lose weight without cutting out entire food groups or feeling deprived.
If you just want an easy place to start though, portion control & replacing carb heavy foods with lower carb alternatives like replacing spaghetti with zoodles and replacing rice with cauliflower rice are a good start. Of course, no matter which route you go, exercise & drink a lot of water.
So true about these drinks causing horrible hangovers. I’ve been sticking to vodka sodas and beer lately and I’m loving that I can usually do those all night without a killer hangover the next day.
Even if you do go out to bars, you can limit your costs: only bring as much cash as your planning on spending and pregame until you’re at a good level. You’re friends will probably understand if you tell them in advance that you want to go to the bar with specials instead of the expensive club because you’re trying to save a bit.

I’ve lived in the midwest most of my life and the Summer over here is patio season.

It’s all worth it for that awesome view you get once or twice a year when guests come from out of town.

I’ve never tried it but I know it’s a right of passage in Chicago so I’m going to honor the tradition and see what all the hype if about
This rekindled my burning desire to spend a Summer at the shore that I used to have back when the show was popular.

Fun fact: A zebra cactus can survive 3 weeks without water but can’t survive my care.

There’s a cheaper way to know if I’m drunk: Look at me
I’m going to a wedding with 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsman. The thought of all them giving speeches gives me anxiety.
