Bro, you're 20 and were in a relationship with a girl from when you were 16 or 17. Whether it's a desire to get with other women and have new stuff going on or whether it's a desire to not be with her, you have no reason to feel guilty for feeling bad or not feeling bad. You're a completely differen...

I recently started investing some of my meagre funds. I just put most of it in the cheapest bonds funds I could find and a little bit in a tracker. I came to the conclusion that in the leagues I am playing in picking the exact best performing fund wasn't as important as picking the right type and t...

A lot of Chicago drill/gang rap. It's really fascinating because it's all 'real'. The things they rap about, the people they rap about, for most of them, it's no exaggeration. I also like that it's rap music made for black people. I like Future, but his music and his audience is largely white kids. ...

Towards the point of sexism or affirmative action or whatever, grades came out last night in school. I did alright and beat median but I hardly beat it by a lot and I don't exactly have a large enough buffer to feel comfortable going into On Campus Interviewing in August. I should be able to do a li...

Just to rehash what I said on reddit, I think the tailoring is very strong and that it's cool that the prints are less op-art but at the same time, I really liked where Tisci was going with incorporating Disney characters. That said, the softer lines in the sweaters and I guess more 'blurry' looks a...

I thought this was the best show of the season. Very cohesive and it carries on the pop-art strengths from S/S. I don't necessarily agree that it needs to be 'challenging' to be a strong show. I don't know anything about Sterling Ruby so I really cannot comment as to whether there is any social crit...

Isn't a noise group?

And I'll hit your PM in a few. Where on State? I'm downtown in Streeterville so I guess not that far.

Hooplah is going to ask what it smells like Belgium and detergent. Speaking of Derk, one of my biggest fashion regrets was leaving a pair of Walgreen Wayfarer knockoffs on top of someone' refrigerator. :( It's so hard to find a good pair of ~$10 sunglasses in a brown tortoiseshell. There was a Jil ...

Just got a white Ann D shirt from Derk and to be fair, I don't know what I was expecting. It's fine but it's just a white shirt with french button cuffs. I like how it looks with the sleeves rolled up but I don't think I can wear a jacket over it really. It's still cold here so that's unfortunate bu...

I never really did anything when I was younger and I guess now that I'm older and sort of just beginning to explore all of this stuff, it's fresh and exciting and invigorating and it makes me anxious for weekends when I know I'm meeting up with a girl and wondering if I will get her in bed, how she'...

I'm not interested in anyone and it's sort of strange. Before break, I had a tinder date with a cute girl who goes to the undergrad of my school. We just met in a neighborhood in the middle and got a couple beers at a bro-bar. Was not really our scene and she was leaving to go home the next morning ...

If any of you Midwesterners make it up to Chicago, absolutely love to hang and grab a cup of coffee / beer / pancakes by RSVP.

Much better than SS.

it's interesting because i used to give a lot of advice on "here's how to accentuate your bust", "here's how to balance out your hips", "here's how to lengthen your legs" but sometimes i wonder if i'm reinforcing what people "should" look like instead of impr...

She's putting off leaving the country. She wants to hang out this weekend. I'm going to try to just get a burger and then dip immediately after. We're not even dating, I shouldn't have to 'break up'. I've also never broken up with someone before. She also told me how many people she's kissed and tha...

"I don't think you're all wrong but there's something you're missing." I actually find this attitude pretty off-putting. You're right; I don't know what it is to be black. But the harms are pretty objective and I'm not speaking 'for' black people. I think there is a line where you have doe...

That was part of his argument, that it's a social condition that's absent judgment and when I pressed him on where the judgment came from, he didn't get it. I even tried to argue that if it is natural to like light skin features, that wouldn't justify making others feel bad. But then he just said th...

Was talking with a buddy in school about privilege, how Western Culture values light skin, etc., and he didn't really get it beyond 'maybe people just like light skinned' which is a valid comment but beside the point about how it implicitly makes darker people feel bad. Kind of got angry but decided...

Just because your tastes become more expensive doesn't mean you'll always want the most expensive item or version of an item. There is a very real ceiling for a lot of pieces and then there is a stratosphere that's probably less about the piece than the price? Beyond that, you always probably feel t...

Somewhat analogous, I went to visit a friend on what I thought was an excited invitation. Two days before, she told me she couldn't hang out but I could still stay at her place. It was an awful trip for a lot of it but more so at night since. If I went now and it was the same thing, I would have eit...

I'm becoming one of those old fuddy-duddies who can't keep up with new music anymore, but when I have time, I'm just gonna through so much shit and I'm excited. And yesssss, new Burial is going to be incredible.

Your tags are broken but I followed the URL and I like the varsity!

Went to secondary state school for an interdisciplinary studies (see: liberal arts) degree. I was probably at the tail-end of the a generation that still though getting a degree was sufficient for transitioning into the workforce or whatever. I don't really hide the fact that I'm bitter about my und...

Very interesting. I think that's largely dissimilar from the US, at least with regards to where bands play out. There are some bars that tend to have live music, others that tend to have DJs or whatever, but by and large outside of the bigger groups which will hit a certain circuit, everything sort ...

I think there's something eerie about people playing house. Some couples seem like they go through the transition of being early 20s psuedo-adults and some couples skip that entirely and put up 'nice' posters or art or fixtures and have a big fridge and one person works a lot and the other works les...

My fav. band is The Grateful Dead and Nick Cave is my all time top singer. Previous choices were Polysics, Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, Neil Diamond, Creedence Clearwater, Abdel Haleem Hafez, The Offspring and The Libertines. I would not have pegged you as a Grateful Dead dude. I've grown to like th...

I agree w/ you about price-point. I think a lot of their jackets and suiting are appealing but, knowing what it is, at like 40% off probably. But they do try to have a more fashion focused look than relatively stale prep wear. I think it only gets muddled because they have to sell a bunch of other s...

Well, I didn't say anything but I gave her a side-hug when leaving and she tried to hang out after but I really wasn't able to and hopefully conveyed a lack of desire to as well and I think it went okay but we'll see if she tries to contact me again. Who knows.

I feel really bad too. I'm going to have dinner with her on Sunday and hopefully keep it brief and try to figure it out from there. I don't want to be 'firm' and 'clear' because that's just unnecessary, but I also don't want to leave dangling hope and shit and I feel like a dick because whenever som...
