Most colleges in Germany have options where you aren’t stuffed in a room with others unless you want to. It’s generally a tiny bit cheaper to stuff yourself in

This is literally the same situation as most American universities.

I don’t see the appeal unless you know your roommate.

Ya know how all the kids these days don’t know how to socialize and are super lonely? This is their opportinity to very easily make friends when they are starting college

The impression I get is that teal and grey have been hooking up casually for a while and have been open in their discussions about actively looking for other people. Teal’s “thank god” is a call back to grey’s consistent difficulty finding s suitible partner or complaints about being unable to find one. Grey then responds with faux outrage.

I’ve had these sorts of message back and forth with fwbs before, but even meaner. They’re hilarious

Tbf, they did get Russia epic wrong

The secret is that Tom Cruise has remained a famous actor for the entire time. This gives him both the money and incentive to maintain a youthful and attractive appearance. Personal trainers, private chefs, anti-aging doctors, hair drugs, hair plugs, hair dye, regular skin care routine, regular preventative botox, tailored clothes, professional hair and makeup work before all public appearances.

Usually people with back pain have back pain due to muscle spasms/tightness/knots which are the back trying to protect itself from a percieved threat. The solition is to make the back stronger so it can handle more load, and train the mind to not percieve regular stressors as threats.

Hence, poor posture is not the cause of back pain, but an effect of the same source - lack of strength in the back musculature.

A heavy backpack should train you over time to be stronger to handle the load, so it is actually good for you.

And your sleeping posture exerts almost no load or pressure on the back at all, and should literally be irrelivant.

Actual solutions to back pain:

1. As another poster commented, get some magnesium. Magnesium is an electrolyte that allows your muscles to relax, and a magnesium deficiency can cause chronic muscle tightness and knots - which may manifest as back pain. Magnesium supplements are an option, or you could try just eating some spinach.
2. After decades of research, the science is clear - almost all chronic back pain is psychosomatic, or at least, can be resolved via psychosomatic therapies. Get a copy of the book The Way Out, and use the techniques described. It is available for free from the usual sources.
3. Get stronger. If you have significant, debilitating back pain, you should start under the supervision of a physio. However, if you just have occasional annoying tweaks, then you can start by just looking up some exercises online, going to a yoga class, starting lifting (with reasonable weights), or simply going for a daily walk. The stronger you get, the more resistant you will be to back pain in the future, all other things being equal.
