  • I don't know, M seems to have some anxiety and maybe she's having trouble finding friends. I know for many, this homecoming weekend thing would be super fun and a way to go out and meet people, but for someone who is an anxious introvert, it would be a nightmare. She might get her groove soon, she might not. Dorm living isn't for everyone.

  • Especially at this time of year when people with financial struggles are panicking about what they can get their children for Christmas. It would have been a great gesture to admit they have all they need and they were going to donate this to an underprivileged family.

  • Definitely go back in the late fall or winter because the experience is so much more enjoyable. They have heat in there but it is so large that it still remains drafty and cool. My daughter almost passed out from the heat as well so we're waiting a bit.

  • The massive one that was in a factory? I love that one so much. It's insane. Was it super hot inside? I try to avoid it in summer because of how hot it gets in there, but I'm itching to go back again.

  • Unfortunately that is like cheater 101, when questioned about the other women they often will make negative comments about their looks in order to deflect and convince their partner or friends that they aren't interested in them.

  • For someone who has never travelled outside of Canada and the US (besides Iceland) this was not a good choice for her. Even very experienced travellers avoid and/or take extra precautions when it comes to countries under travel warnings. I feel like this experience is just going to make her not want to travel outside her comfort zone even more which is too bad because she has the money to do some incredible travelling if she wants. This whole situation just highlights her ignorance, entitledness and sense of being untouchable.

  • I totally agree. If she really wanted the experience of living separately they could have converted the basement apartment for her. Taking public transit at ungodly hours is part of going to university, and would have been doable. It really showcases how much they don't have to worry about money, otherwise M probably would have chosen one of her multiple living options to avoid accumulating even more debt. I absolutely would have if I had gone to school in the same city as my parents instead of having to pay off all my student loans until I was almost 40. There are a lot of kids who have to delay going to school this year because they can't afford the living accommodations on top of school tuition.

    Edit to add: I was paying back that many years for a degree that I didn't even finish. Talk about wasted money.

  • She doesn't. They aren't real. I noticed yesterday that she has way more followers than Cyndi Lauper which seems like a weird comparison but she popped up in my feed. When you see her outranking people who are actually famous it is a good indicator she buys tons of bots. This women literally puts out nothing helpful, and has no skills, talent, or personality. She just talks about herself, doesn't seem very smart, and writes bad captions she thinks are deep and artsy. I'd even have a modicum of respect for her if she made a goal to read a book a month and discuss it. It would be something. Instead, she watches movies, gives a generic review and ranks with bells, then goes out to buy every secondhand find that she can get her greedy hands on and gloats.

    Edit to add: There isn't anything even endearing about her. I could potentially see people liking her if she was thoughtful, witty/funny, or charming but there's nothing. I don't even think she knows who she is herself because she is always taking on the next personality. It is uncomfortable to watch.

  • Is there even an upper middle class anymore? 😂 it feels like middle class has been disappearing entirely. And the exchange rate isn’t our friend so this seems truly unrealistic for all but a very small number of people. It’s probably an ad for outfitting M’s dorm room to showcase back to school shopping anyway.

  • So weird. Is Target trying to soft launch back in Canada again? Because these two accounts have predominantly Canadian followers (besides the bots), and the average Canadian can barely afford groceries, so they definitely aren't road tripping to the US to visit Target.

  • (US) FTC rules creators can no longer buy fake followers or engagement
  • Not to be pessimistic but I don’t think this is going to go down the way we want it too. Their primary focus is abolishing fake reviews. And while she has a US audience it won’t impact her quite the same as if she lived in the US. If anything it will be a slap on the wrist and she’ll go on her merry way still buying followers.
