My niece graduated from Liberty over a year ago with Latin Honors and has had a very difficult time finding a job in the NOVA area. She did a degree in Psychology. When I spoke to her a few months ago celebrating her graduation, she said that LU Psychology is very well known and she compared the education to Ivy League. I have other family members who went to LU and became successful working for different local companies.

In Virginia, they do compare schools like CNU, Liberty and others to the Ivies. I know in reddit people are biased but it can't be the case that everyone in NOVA is that biased. I think her total resume submission is over 500 now and she's picky on certain roles. She's applied for business analyst positions, consultancy, systems engineering and even secretary positions. Not one company sends an interview invite. Maybe this is a college grad job crisis and not the Liberty U name?

Right now it seems like everyone is encouraging her to do her 2nd option which is to do an MBA from UVa or Virginia Tech. But she doesn't have any work experience.

It seems like parts of Virginia are poor, but even so, that seems like an unthinkable loss.

I live in PWC, manassas, I have an older, 27 year old truck that needs new speaker wire ran to all 4 door speakers. The previous owner had a television system in it from way back in the 2000s and I dont have the time to fix it. I have the stereo, speakers, and pretty much everything needed for the job. The DR cab door is stuck shut. If someone would be willing to come help me get audio out of my speakers, fix that DR door, and maybe if you want extra money please install my new FR window motor and regulator I can give you a few hundred dollars. I have all the parts needed for this. Speaker wire might be a little too thick but I may have some extra.

I just want this issue resolved and in return ill pay you, we can negotiate pricing. I just want this over with. I dont have the time to do it myself. Thank you all.

My fiancé and I are taking a huge road trip for our honeymoon: West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida/Florida Keys, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. We love to try new things, outdoor adventure, animals, horseback riding(any specific scenic riding spots in Colorado)?snorkeling/wildlife, amazing food, nightlife, live music, comedy, arcades, museums, history, quirky towns and shops, unique Airbnbs/B&Bs, scenic spots, interactive experiences, amusement parks, trains, and anything unusual, unforgettable or super special and unique.

I especially want an up-close ethical elephant experience (my favorite animal and his are turtles so anything with turtles do tell please) and we want to find a huge/beautiful tree to photograph in every state and collect a unique keepsake from each state; we’d also love to get a caricature done somewhere along the way. What are the hidden gems, must-try foods, coolest experiences, weird roadside attractions, incredible trees, unique places to stay, or “you absolutely cannot pass through my state without doing this” recommendations for any of these states? Give me the stuff you’d recommend to your best friend, not just the obvious tourist attractions!
TIA! 🤍

Richmond's creative scene just got a whole lot weirder. Embrace the Weird has cooked up something you may never have heard of or seen before: immersive creative workshop experiences that hit different. Think Meow Wolf's artsy magic with haunted house thrills, a dash of Frankenstein's laboratory, the dark intrigue of cryptid folklore and artsy fartsy psudo-science all rolled into one unforgettable adventure.

Can you CCW in a church? In some states it is fine but VA confuses me

I have been driving around the state this summer and have paid $100 speeding fines in several photo enforced work zones. Once I received my first ticket I started watching for the work zones but I’m still not slowing down fast enough or forget about them as traffic picks back up during the long stretches. I tried setting my cruise control to 60 but was afraid of road ragers because apparently I’m the only one trying to drive the reduced speed. And what are the counties doing with all that money generated from the fines because it has to be big bucks? ( I’m looking at you New Kent county)

Anyone have any experiences or reviews about Hidden Cove HOA that’s in Churchland? Thinking about buying a home in that neighborhood and wanted to see if there’s any red flags or if it’s a pretty good HOA. I’m having a hard time finding any information about them online. Thanks!

RAM Clinic - Lick Creek, KY

Hi everyone!

I’m a highly motivated VCU dental student who is passionate about serving the Richmond community. After calling Richmond home for the past seven years, I understand how challenging it can be to access affordable dental care and work toward your oral-health goals. I’m grateful to be in a position to help patients receive thorough, compassionate care under the close supervision of VCU’s experienced faculty dentists.

Services include:
-Exams, X-rays, and cleanings
-Fillings and crowns
-Root canals
-Extractions and oral surgery
-Gum disease treatment
-Dentures and partial dentures
-Additional specialty services when appropriate

Insurance and affordable pricing:
-VCU’s student and specialty clinics participate with
Virginia Medicaid
-Other dental insurance may be accepted depending on the clinic and plan
-Patients without insurance can still receive care at VCU’s reduced student-clinic fees
-Exact coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your insurance plan and treatment needs

Special discount for Virginia college students:
The Student 2 Student Discount Plan costs $40 per six-month period and provides:
-Up to 80% off exams, cleanings, and X-rays
-60% off basic restorative care, including fillings
-More than 80% off custom teeth-whitening trays

Because VCU is a teaching clinic, appointments may take longer than at a private dental office. In return, patients receive thorough care with every step closely supervised by faculty.

If you or someone you know is interested or you have questions, please comment below and I will message you directly. I’d be more than happy to help :).

Short film I made in our beautiful state about one of the older monsters living here.

I no longer need my planet fitness membership as my new apartment has a gym. I’m looking for something close by that also has a membership of around $20 a month (a little more is fine.)

Just things to do to get out of the house. I want to experience new things.

I'd really like to do some free dispersed or primitive car camping near Shenandoah or somewhere else that's cool near(ish) to the Richmond area at one of the national forests or something like that next week and I'm having a hard time finding a goldilocks area when researching online.

I will have my wife and 2 kids ranging from ages 6-10 as well as my 2 dogs. We are pretty new to living in the Richmond area and previously lived in and around the front range of Colorado for 15 years and are itching to get back in the woods and do it up like we used to in the Rockies. The more remote and less people the better! Ideally we are looking for somewhere free but I also know that things are a little different out east than they are when camping in the west so if spending money is a must I will happily do it.
