College officers, what is the worst application you've ever received? 

Wait. That means you could be the Living Dead.

Not new just another guy who participates in reading sometimes

Get used to it lol

booh

@@mo-s- AAA-

He actually reads on the "reallysparked" channel (totally different content/genre), but they sometimes read on each other's channel. The way he reads and his voice are actually very pleasant, given that he reads different stuff 😊

100% agreed

Isn't a tomato fruit salad just mango salsa?

Integza, is that you?

Also, he reads out loud really well, which isn't easy

1:05:14 I mean isn't that the entire point of college? Selling degrees? You pay them an insane amount of money to go there, they teach you very little that will actually be used in the real world because everything is based off of experience despite requiring a degree as well, then they give you a piece of paper that says "Congratulations, you wasted money and probably went into extreme debt to get a useless piece of paper that is required for just about every single job, and very little else of note except maybe an anxiety disorder if you didn't have one already!" That sounds like selling degrees to me.

@@StormTheSquid You seem like a really cool person based on just these two comments. Well-spoken, intelligent both emotionally and grammatically, and kind. We need more folks like you :)

Negative. Bring back the OG!

This is the first time I hear his voice. His voice is nice enough, I prefer the old one tho

I miss Reallysparked. My favorite sparked face

People keep telling me that there are plenty of jobs going. And yes that is true if you want to be a barista or kill your back in a warehouse. But jobs worth having... that is a different story.

@brettsymons604 several of the places I was trying to apply for had absolutely nothing and weren't hiring at all. It was a different story when I had first started my degree, though.

Computer science jobs are *infamous* for asking for more experience than needed, and even sometimes for more experience than is possible.

@@Badartist888Can confirm 90% of jobs people can get are in warehouses. This is a good thing if you’re both physically capable and actually unable to qualify for other places. Absolutely terrible if you’re unable to work a highly physical job with long hours due to disability, but could work at a desk job, because if you can technically work anywhere, good luck being able to get any disability benefits.

Omg I would love that sm 😭😭🤌🏽

So long as it’s not your college essay

​@@TheNormExperienceit's currently 02:22 at night and I'm trying to finish a lab about microphone techniques and sound recording that's due this weekend :D

@@CraterCasteryou got it!

@@CraterCaster i believe in you

Huh?

I've never played it, but I think it might be Journey

I think that one part of why I often relate more with trans women than cis women is because I was brought up with very weird rules about modesty that resulted in me dressing very awkwardly and being terrible at makeup when I finally started using it at 19, partially due to interest, and mostly due to my mom bullying me for not being feminine enough as an adult (when she herself hates wearing makeup besides some types of very lightweight, not very brightly colored glitter dust, and had never once taught me anything besides “don’t wear foundation that turns orange” and allowing me to wear almost perfectly color matched lipstick, and told me not to wear glitter makeup because it made me look childish). I had been bullied by most girls from the ages of 10 to 19, and had to figure out how not to look like a very tall 11 year old girl to people. The only support I ended up finding to accomplish that was internet groups of trans women around my age sharing any and every bit of information they found about looking more feminine, while I shared my miniscule amount of tips I had on creating an hourglass silhouette when you don’t have a large chest, or have broad shoulders. I strongly dislike dressing in a “normal” feminine way though, and don’t like wearing makeup because it’s just a tedious process to wear it daily, and most jobs I get don’t allow makeup anyways.

@@darkstarr984 I'm sorry you had it rough from your peers and didn't get the kind of education you wanted from your mother :( But I'm *so* happy you found a community to share love and advice with! I think most folks don't realize exactly how wide the trans community is - gnc (gender non-conforming) folks are welcome, folks unsure of their gender are welcome, drag kings and queens are welcome, etc.! Allies, too! Generally speaking, we're just so happy when folks want to interact with us in good faith and we love sharing stories and tips and such! I'm just so glad you had such an experience and I hope you're living happily now

Yeah, I came to the comment section to see if that story rubbed someone else the wrong way too. I don't like that the person first loaded off a ton of superficial and very judgmental remarks about a newly trans person only to then say "well obviously we don't judge based on someone's appearance". Maybe they tried to not let it influence whether they accepted or rejected the person, but don't put you being that judgmental into your Reddit paragraph if you don't want readers to make that connection. It really shouldn't have mattered to the officer whether she dressed well or knew how to use makeup, if anything the fact that she was obviously newly trans should have given her more leeway than other candidates.
