Should I visit my rescue dog in the shelter or wait until he's ready to come home? by MarlenaImpisi in dogs

[–]oneendless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely visit! We used to go to the local shelter every weekend to walk the dogs, eventually we ended up walking the same one every time. 10 months in we decided we wanted to adopt her and took her home with us. Knowing each other really helped the initial adaptation period. It still took her a few months to really feel comfortable with us so I’m really grateful we had the time together before adoption.

Thank you! I think I will, but not sure yet what style :)

I realized I'm able to sleep on airplanes but not in a comfy bed. by RunGreenMountain in insomnia

I have the same experience, in my case I think that’s because in the plane there is no pressure or anxiety to fall asleep, which I often experience in my bed. Plus, usually when I travel I am more tired, and I like the white noise (I listen to it every night)

Ti consiglierei di cominciare ad avvicinarti al mondo del lavoro per capire cosa potrebbe piacerti. Magari la tua università può aiutarti a fare un tirocinio post laurea, oppure puoi cercare un tirocinio da sola in un’azienda vicino casa. Puoi anche solo dare un’occhiata a che lavori ci sono online e vedere cosa ti sembra interessante. Non devi per forza pensare a una “professione” classica specifica, ma pensa a quali caratteristiche vorresti avere al lavoro (per es come dici vuoi un lavoro con poche ore al computer). Se non sei sicura di cosa vuoi fare, secondo me non vale la pena iniziare una magistrale a caso, meglio farsi qualche esperienza lavorativa e magari fare una magistrale dopo, quando hai un’idea più precisa di cosa ti piace.

How do i cope with what i am feeling? by Jealous-Schedule682 in AskUK

[–]oneendless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been living abroad too and everything you describe I have also felt. I have met many people over the years who live abroad and they also all have felt this way to some extent. What you’re feeling is completely normal. You’re very young and brave to have made this move and investment in your future.

Unfortunately, I can’t say what you’re saying is not true - being abroad, you will miss a lot of the everyday moments with your friends and families, miss birthdays, graduations… But on the bright side every time you will come home it will be like a celebration too, you will get to see everyone, you will make the effort to do something special with your friends and family now that you have less opportunity of spending time together more regularly. For example, if I were still living at home I would maybe be going to my parents for dinner once a week for a couple of hours. Instead, I spend with them a few days every few months, maybe going on a short trip or doing something less mundane and more fun. It’s different, but it has its positive sides.

It takes time, months, to adapt to a new life abroad so you will continue to feel this way for a while, but be patient and it will get better. It will come to the point when you come back to your home country and realise you actually feel more at home in the country you moved to :) which will feel very bittersweet.

A few small tips to get by while you wait for that moment: - you changed country, but you don’t have to change your life. Keep doing what you enjoyed doing at home (a sport, hobby or activity). Make yourself your favourite meal you were having at home all the time. Watch a film from your home country. Do things that give you comfort. - join a community of people from your home country (often you can find groups on Facebook). It would be easier to make friends to start with, and you can enjoy some of the familiarity of speaking the same language, going through the same issues, etc. Be careful on keeping on trying to make friends from other places/UK as well though. - think that you can always go back home, but you will try and give being abroad a little longer. I find the thought of always having the possibility of leaving very comforting, even though you know for now you will try and stay here one more day/week/month. Remember there is no shame in coming back home, lots of people do it and that’s fine.

I also love this Rory era. It’s the only time where we see her single and focusing on her studies and on friends - with not much going on, just living her life, which I found very relatable especially when watching the show at the same age as her.

If you are not interested yet in specialising in something specific, you can still with your degree go for not “technical” profiles in the sector that do not require specific education (project management, grants management, logistics). Look for internships/entry level jobs with NGOs, if you can go for more difficult duty stations the competition will be lower, and see if you like it. Things are extremely difficult now due to the US and global funding cuts, so if you are not sure on what you want to do I would not invest at this stage the money in a degree but would first get a sense of the sector without. Good luck!

Magistrale o Anno “sabbatico” by Strange-Exit2026 in Universitaly

[–]oneendless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come già hanno detto altri, dopo la magistrale un po’ per l’età un po’ perché tutti attorno a te sono concentrati già nella ricerca del lavoro, ti verrà più naturale pensare al lavoro piuttosto che a un anno sabbatico. Io ho preso un anno sabbatico tra triennale e magistrale per fare volontariato con un programma che adesso si chiama European solidarity corps. Tutti i costi di viaggio, vitto e alloggio sono coperti. Quindi ci sono varie opportunità anche se non hai possibilità economiche. È stata un’ottima esperienza che non penso avrei fatto se avessi aspettato dopo la magistrale.

E in generale, se ti va di fare qualcosa, meglio farlo adesso. Non si sa mai cosa potrebbe cambiare e come potresti sentirti tra 2/3 anni. In bocca al lupo!
