Hi I'm an international applicant and just wanted to know if the price level in Houston is relatively affordable

[carmine bobcat]

[indigo owl]

Rice Village is pretty upscale, but in general, Houston as a city is pretty affordable to live in

[molten summit]

[molten summit]

[buoyant flume]

i don't want the release come too fast

[molten summit]

i would honestly take the sleep if i could because it's a free skip

[buoyant flume]

yea that's the point i dunno what i want

i want the free skip but at the same time don't want to face the reality too soon

[molten summit]

the anticipation's gonna kill ya

i know it would kill me i would very much take sleeping rn

[buoyant flume]

well yesterday i tried hard to go to sleep

and i was up for 5 hours

doing nth

[molten summit]

i went to sleep like 9pm yesterday when i normally sleep like at 1 or 2 am

[buoyant flume]

how did u do that

anxiety is bothering me

[molten summit]

idk i was tired yesterday cuz i took a really long calc test so i drank like 5 cups of coffee that morning

i felt so mentally drained yesterday i just finished my final draft on my essays and filled out my history paper

[buoyant flume]

wow seems like u have a strong mental

all i did today was to find any information about Rice and realizing that it won't change the decision

and repeating this forever

[molten summit]

oh i mean i spent like 4 hours just doing nothing then two hours of actually doing work

[buoyant flume]

ohhh i see

what asia country r u from?

[molten summit]

i'm Filipino but I live in Houston

I'm counted as international for all my college apps because i'm not a citizen nor permanent resident just here under a valid visa

[buoyant flume]

how's life in Houston?

[molten summit]

it's nice, definitely better than the Philippines

i have lived here tho in the US for the past 7 years

I just moved to houston last year

[jolly lynx]

I posted a programming meme 💀

[covert yew]

I think my plan is to post a fairly unique picture of me when I was 4 and then the same one of me at 14

[dark swift]

If you are not discussing ED results or steps to take after an ED acceptance, begin heading over to #1053154325964259408 for future conversations

[strong moth]

do a unique creative picture

[covert yew]

My messages were intended for a Rice RD chat but it didn’t exist yet so I figured this would have been the next best option, now that one exists I’ll move exclusively over there 👍

[terse cliff]

You’re saying a university fried this rice?
