“I don’t think it is a stretch to say that many guys care more about a girl’s character than her appearance. I would want to date a girl who is sweet even though she is not so attractive, but I would not want to date a girl who is not sweet even though she is very attractive. This isn’t high school where you’re just trying to get the cutest girl. This is marriage.”
Man, if only there were more guys out there with your logic!
I highly doubt you could do it online. Perhaps a few of the core classes are offered online, but the majority of the program you should expect to sit in the classroom. I never understood this ‘online program’ business anyways….how the heck are you supposed to learn?! Half the knowledge I have from college is from garning information and insight from my classmates..
Hi, So sorry I’ve been out’ve touch- finals :-/
I’m searcing high and low for a competant therapist. The problem with being a psych grad student is that you start to really have a sharp eye for the bad eggs…
Based on past experiances, therapists have told me that sometimes you need to do things that are hurtful to others in order to ‘save yourself’. At the time I was very young so the therapist did not suggest moving out, but I wonder if things would be said differently now.
How you doing? The chagim may be hard…best of luck to the both of us 🙂
Thank You 🙂
WOW, Ok so if you ever make it to the big stage, can you give us a shot out!?
Defrosting:
“Want to know, if students from these schools would intellectual fit with me.”
So you want to know if the girls are religously on your level? Intellectually?
Please Clarify.
One time poster:
“thanks to touro’s endless amount of work!”
OMG. Thank you. I’m so sick and tired of people badmouthing ‘Camp Touro’. I’ll be graduating in 2 weeks iyh and lemme tell you- it was no walk in the park. The amount of assignments and tests have been out of control.
*Stepping off soap box*
Btw, the “MiddlePath cr song 4- Acoustic jam” is so soulful! I’m listening to it now to destress after an 18 hour day.
Luna that’s beautiful. It sounds like a beautiful world that we can only dream of. The place to create that world is in your heart. That’s the most vulnerable place on the body (IMHO) and the key is to create a beautiful place there because when life gets tough (and it will) you can always escape to that beautiful paradise (I’m envisioning a secluded area filled with waterfalls)
Hope everyone else is doing ok, as I commented on MP’s song thread- I’ve been so busy with finals and have been neglectful here, but I’m keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers. Chodesh Tov.
Wow! Can I be super creepy and say your voice is actually how I imagined it to sound when reading your comments?
Are you playing as well as doing the vocals? I detect some really raw talent here!
Keep ’em coming!
Hope everyone is ok, I’ve been terrible with keeping up in the poetry room…I’m truly sorry 🙁
I have 2 weeks till graduation (June 10) and I’m literally eating, sleeping, drinking finals…
Chodesh Tov Everyone, Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
MP: I’ve been out of control busy, but I saw this and I got so excited. Where is the song, how can I access it?
CityGirl:
You have taken the words straight out of my mouth. It’s actually scary…I have contemplated this question many a night…
I would imagine (assuming you are in my demographic: Early 20s, graduate student, home situation becoming toxic…etc) that the pros and cons can make you an emotional wreck. I plan to speak with a therapist about it. Perhaps that might help you as well.
Wishing you complete serenity in whatever decision you come to.
Either they would marry at an “Older” age when they can support themselves or perhaps live off student loans (As is the case with many of my friends)…
It’s a complicated question and if you find the magic solution, by all means, let me know!!
“does anyone know of a college that offers a degree in nutrition? preferably a jewish place or program”
Jewish, no……but Brooklyn College has a program…
Not only that, but what’s the shtick with wives wearing their husband’s suit jacket? I see this ALL THE TIME.
“Hey, he can compare his hypothetical wife to a house. Shlomo Hamelech compares the aishes chayil to a cargo ship…haysay kianiya socher…”
Did you forget the part where Shlomo goes on to say “Sheker Hachein, V’heval Hyofei”?
“i send out my pic bec i’ve had situtaions where the guy drops dead when he sees me bec im so gorgeous, so sending a pic makes it easier for him to digest”
I am BEGGING someone to tell me this was written in jest…
Health:
Glad we’re good 🙂
& yeah…posters tend to get a bit…um…feisty here…
A burning flame
MP: That was so beautiful! Thank you. Btw…..MUUUUUUUSIC 😀
I just got verbally attacked in another thread by a poster, I’m pretty new here (since February) and I guess I’m a little shaken up…
I just wanted say thank you to everyone here for always having a kind word, and a virtual pat on the back…
Health:
“There is a reason for my privacy. But since you don’t seem to think about privacy – what do you do & where do you work? What gender are you? How old are you? Where do you live?
I Btw, have answered some of these in previous posts.”
Honestly, I meant it as a sincere compliment that you seem to know what you are talking about and as someone who has very little knowledge in the medical field- I appreciate it.
Why did you jump down my throat? It was a valid question that a simple “I don’t want to say” would have sufficed. I actually care a great deal about privacy and have a healthy respect for it. My profession demands it (Psychology).
“S. Handler explained to them that his religion does not allow him to sit next to a women”
It does? Since when? Please cite a source.
& for arguements sake: Let’s say it isn’t the ‘right’ thing to do (bec it’s certainly not a halachah)- what’s the better alternative- creating a chillul hashem?
We Jews need to realize that a lot of people hate us out there and we DO NOT need to give them additional reasons…
Um, how is this a shalom bayis question?
Yenta:
Oh wow, that does sound relatively calm. How is your body adjusting to Week 2? Feel a difference yet?
Health:
“When I was doing an ER shift to become what I am now”
What is your profession? I’ve always wondered since you seem to know a lot about the medical field, but didn’t explicitly say either way…
Luna:
*Whistles* Wow….Those poems are incredibly vivid. I’m truly sorry you are going through a really rough time. Even though it seems that there are people in your life that don’t have the time or care to listen to you- remember that all of us in the Poetry Room are here to listen and empathize with you. The beauty of an anonomous forum is that none of us will judge you, ever. Wishing you only happiness in the coming week.
MiddlePath: Hope those final exams are wrapping up nicely, the countdown begins! 🙂 Oh, and did I mention I will be playing my music at an UNHEALTHY volume this Thursday?! Whohoo!!
The original song is one of my favorites! I really liked your cover, looking forward to seeing it on Itunes 😉
Hey Everybody, I’m sorry I keep flitting in and out of here and haven’t had time to post an original peice of my own, I’ve just been busy with end of semester schoolwork. I just want you all to know that I do click on this thread first when I log on and even if I don’t have the time to post, I read all the material and you are all so truly talented. I am humbled to be a part of the group.
Have a wonderful day filled with small, but genuine smiles.
“I play basketball every day in the summer, and I shower right afterwards. I was told that is perfectly fine…and even recommended.”
Hahaha! I like, it’s lines like these that make my day 🙂
Glad you’re liking! The graveyard shift is probably a bit quieter since there are no annoying families and doctors there…no?

I think Touro on Kings Highway has a program
What do you like about it?
Best of luck tonight!
Of course you should be honest, what kind of marriage would it be if it started off without complete honesty?
Obviously you should try to be as sensitive as possible when relating whatever information this is, but not to tell at all? O dear god..
*Poking yentingyenta*
Yoohoo! Wake up, it’s morning!! How’d it go?
MP: I speak the truth.
Luna: That’s a great username- Luna Lovegood never changed for anyone! By her peers she is viewed as “weird” or “looney Lovegood”, but her strength, fearlessness and smarts is what saves her and friends multiple times when facing danger. Take a lesson from her, don’t ever change for anyone unless you want to as well. Strength doesn’t come from having many people’s approval-it comes from having one person’s approval= yourself.
Kapusta: Oy. Oy. Oy. The music thing is a nightmare. Any helpful suggestions would be MUCH appreciated! So far th acapella music has done nothing but depress me :-/
It’s a dreary Tuesday, but how’s everyone doing? (My 3rd cup of coffee is looking good right about now…)
Pleasure 🙂
I did extensive research on the topic when applying to schools. I’d be happy to answer any questions.
I love coffe,
A social worker is required to have an MSW (Masters of social work) You do not need a BA in Psychology to be a social worker. You need a BA to get into the Masters program.
That being said- dhl144, deciding to become a social worker should require a lot of thought on your part. You should not switch majors on a whim because the thought crossed your mind. Although social work is a very rewarding career, it is also not a lucrative one. Become a social worker if you want to spend your life helping people while at the same time not being suffiently compensated for it. I’m not sure why being Jewish would have anything to do with the career choice. Giving therapy means bringing yourself into the world of the client, if the client says something that you know/feel is against the torah then you have a LEGAL OBLIGATION to refer out to another therapist since you no longer will be able to be unbiased.
Before deciding on the career, ask yourself the following questions:
1)Am I prepared to sit and listen to people’s problems all day for very little compensation?
2) Am I prepared to establish a relationship with a client and see the fruits of my labor explode in my face on a patient’s psychological whim?
3) Do I have the compassion, empathy and resilience to become completely ensconced in the world of the client while at the same time knowing my boundaries?
4) Have I resolved emotional issues in my own life that will allow me give therapy in a non biased/constructive way?
These are just some of the questions my interviewer asked me when I was applying to the MSW program.
Best Of Luck!
It is never a good idea to become too dependent on anyone other than yourself..
That being said, perhaps a therapist would be able to explore the nature of your relationship with your rebbi and bring you to a place of closure.
saysme: Great Addendum!
MP: I’ve been thinking all week how to reply to that post…there is no need to apologize! Your thoughtout comments are an attribute to any post regardless of your motives.
blabla: Oh no! How was shabbos…?
Thanks puppy! (Cute sn!)

How ’bout saving that floose for when you’ll actually need it and just drive a nice, but reasonably priced car…
“I drive a simple car when I could totally drive a mercedise or beemer!”
You have the extra funds to afford a luxery car like that?
yummy cupcake:
You seem like a sweet girl, with all the right intentions, midos, & qualities that a sincere BY girl should have.
That being said, you wrote that you want a job that would require little to no higher education, yet would support a learning boy + family for a few years. I’m sorry, but unless you are REALLY prepared to live the kollel life, I would suggest that you seriously think about what kind of jobs you might be getting…
I apologize if I came across strongly, I just want you to be aware of the job market prospects you will face if you decide to avoid college.
*Picking at my weight watchers cookie while sobbing*
“Naysberg, Yes. Girls learning in college might lead to divorce! Men are created to be Professionals, and not woman.
One cannot fight hashem’s creature and nature, everyone should know that once and for all!!!”
Are you kidding me?! Please tell me how in today’s economy a frum, middle size (or even small!) family can survive on one income? When the frum guys start becoming cardiothoracic surgeons, we’ll talk. Till then- Appreciate the fact that women have sharp brains, go to college to further educate themselves, & alleviate some of the burden of support from their spouse. In order to get a decent paying job- you must have a college degree.
What do our resident medical experts say on this
>Health? yentingyenta?
Aren’t you kinda young? Before deciding what to look for in a girl and what to research….look into yourself.
How and what are your plans for parnassah?
Have you prepared yourself for marriage? Perfected those midos as best as possible?
Ready to commit, share and comprimise with someone for the rest of your life?
Just some things to keep in mind..
Trapped
What was once a structure is now shattered glass.
What once was formidable is now fatigued.
What once was arrogant is now anxious.
What once was focused is now forlorn.
What once was carefree is now careless.
What once was dedicated is now dismissive.
What once was eccentric is now ensnared.
What once could subdue is now subdued.
What once could terrify is now trapped.
What once was wonderful is now wicked.
& no one mourns the wicked.
A device that you can attach to your wrist that automatically calculates your caloric intake. It would beep once the day’s allotment has been reached. It would also be ok to use on shabbos.
