People are weird for being weird about divorced parents.

Oh wow, yeah, you were an infant! Whatever your parents did has nothing to do with you at that point. I don't know why someone would judge a kid for having divorced parents. That's just wild.

He didn’t realize, he backtracked some once he was told but he also had a habit of mansplaining that made it very funny to be a part of haha

@Lux, sounds like he needed to vent. That or didn't realize everyone at the table had divorced parents. XD

I once went on a double date where the other’s guy talked about how traumatic their parents amicable divorce was and how we didn’t know how divorce could be damaging for kids (they were 17 when it happened). While divorce can be traumatic and damaging, he was talking to a table full of people with divorced parents

@Rainy, I have been looked down on it for my whole life even though I wasn't even 1 when it happened. It sucks.

That's a shame. It's not like you had any control over that!

Yeah, it can be annoying for sure. I think everyone does it to a degree, though.

On a different date the guy wanted to know about what it's like being a kid to divorced parents. He was extremely turned off by the fact my parents were divorced. =/

I think it was the fact that he talked about his special interest and himself for the whole hour and a half that bothered me.

Trees in general. He always had to stop whatever we were doing and identify them

Yeah the special interest talk isn't bad. Just can be for the wrong person lol

The talking about yourself the whole time tho?? That's crazy. I always worry that I talk too much about myself just in one simple conversation lol

@Snitch, was he fascinated with tree rings too?
Rainbow

Then again, I'm very likely to talk people's ears off about my special interests, so yannow. No one's perfect lol.

I don't know much about any of this stuff because I haven't been through college yet. But are you talking about riding outside of school or joining the college's equestrian team,

I'm talking about riding outside of school since my college doesn't have a riding team.

I was on our equestrian team and we showed IHSA. IHSA is...different. This was quite a few years ago so it could very well be better now but I'll be honest I didn't love their showing format, and became a non-showing member of the team after a few semesters. I liked my teammates very much but I ultimately decided to stick with lessons in a proper lesson stable (our coach just had a handful of not very well trained horses at their residence and you had to pay $$$$ to take a "lesson" on them during show weeks). IHSA lessons/shows aren't cheap and in a circumstance like my school had I just don't think you get your money's worth.

ETA - I just realized you said your school doesn't have a team, but I'll leave this in case it is helpful to someone else.

Used books for sure. I used to get mine from the now defunct Half website. Try eBay and the like, you can save hundreds not going to your school's book store.

I also worked a few part time jobs to be able to afford it all, I was pretty close to full time all hours combined.

Ooh, news! Like I said earlier, riding wasn't one of the criteria while I was actually looking at and accepting colleges, so I hadn't really looked at that and since it wasn't listed in the sports for the college I'm going to, I thought they didn't.
I was looking through their full clubs/activities list and apparently they do have an IHSA team, for hunt seat and for dressage (I don't know if you can do both, but it's cool because those are the two disciplines I ride). So, definitely more excited, though time and money is still an issue, as well as transportation since my college doesn't have a barn and they use a barn almost 15 miles away.

That's great news Ginger!
You'll probably be able to find out more about time and money by contacting the team. In my case, it works out to $930 plus attire per semester, which I will probably cover with a job. My college also uses an off-campus barn that is about a 30min drive from campus, but the college provides transportation. Your college may do the same.
