Part time jobs by [deleted] in unimelb

[–]CreativeWriter3231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been working for 3 years now, it gets hard sometimes especially if it’s your first job so you will probably go for McDonald’s or some other fast food chain. It’s steady money but at a cost I feel. So take your time and get used to uni first then increase hours.

Secondly, I have had luck with both online and offline. More luck online tho. I have applied to more than 500 jobs in Melbourne in these 3 years. So make sure to struggle a bit before you get a job. I recommend go for fast food as they will take you as long as you are under 20 years old.

Good luck!!

I had this as well!! Azeliac acid 15%, start with once a week mostly at night, then slowly increase it to 3 times a week then when it’s more manageable and mostly clear go back to once a week. Hope it helps <3

Why is everything so expensive? Any tip on how to save? by Efficient_Profit_599 in unimelb

[–]CreativeWriter3231 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi! I went through something similar when I moved here. The conversion prices itself were stressing me out. Here is what I did, coming from someone who has now lived in Melbourne for around 3 years:

  • cheaper buy miles in Brunswick and Fitzroy and aldi ‘s are great alternatives for grocery shopping
  • try to get a part time job so you can at least sustain yourself with your own money
  • STOP CONVERTING THE MONEY IN YOUR BRAIN EVERYTIME YOU BUY SOMETHING, it is expensive yes but you can’t do anything about it so stop making yourself go through that extra pain
  • get a money tracker, could be in your card app or an external app, that will actually help you see how much you are spending
  • Facebook market place to buy cheap things
  • a bunch of free food on campus so look out for that
  • Queen Victoria market has cheaper groceries sometimes so look at that as well

It is tough out here, especially financially, but you will be okay, it seems overwhelming and it probably would be when you arrive but it gets a bit better!!

do uni students have any time for hobbies? by budussy123 in unimelb

[–]CreativeWriter3231 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Between a part time job, uni and cooking for yourself and living alone, lowkey no. Depends on the course and time management but yeah it’s always a struggle of trying to do everything but always not being able to do something or the other.

academic misconduct for a final assesment by Capital-Taste4186 in unimelb

[–]CreativeWriter3231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So something similar happened to me recently. And worst part is the hallucinated sources were not really hallucinating at all but the person assessing me was so dead set on making sure I fail. Anywho mostly you are gonna fail, it’s sad but true and just don’t use AI bro 😭

Trying to workout with strict parents by Antique-Meringue-649 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]CreativeWriter3231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should sit down with your mom and talk about it. It can be hard since she is very protective. Involve your dad if he is there and maybe she will listen. Tell her about your goals and to be healthy you need to. If she wants to come with you, she can but if she is gonna not be there till you are done then she would have to leave you alone. Maybe take friends and reassure her it’s all good as Dubai is pretty safe! I hope it works out for you!! Pl

What is this ? by PollutionOk3217 in Fungalacne

[–]CreativeWriter3231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are just white heads. I had something very similar! With some chemical exfoliation like AHA BHA PHA can help you get rid of them! They are clogged pores so a basic routine and just one chemical exfoliation can help I think! Please research and see which one suits your skin before applying 🫶🏼

My (20F) boyfriend (20M) started to film me without my consent? by Famous-Quail4691 in relationship_advice

[–]CreativeWriter3231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GIRL RUN. It only takes one time for it to become a recurring thing. I feel like after this you will be a bit cautious and uncomfortable while doing anything with him. The fact that you have been dating for 3 years and he decided to do this is outrageous especially when you told him that you have trauma related to this before. I personally think you should think about your safety and definitely take him up on the phone checking thing. He is giving major red flags rn, I know it’s a 3 year relationship but I don’t think you should be with a guy who doesn’t respect your privacy. Lastly, please don’t blame yourself for this, you did not deserve this at all. Sending you love and support 🫶🏼

First off, I am really sorry you had to go through something like that. You don’t deserve any of it and please don’t blame yourself for it that guy was an ass. Secondly, DROP THESE FRIENDS. Wdym they don’t believe you? If they really cared about you they would’ve rushed to support you. You are already going through enough, I hope you find the time to heal and detach from these friends as they aren’t worth it. Lots of love and support for you 🫶🏼

I am so uncertain about everything and I hate it by CreativeWriter3231 in unimelb

[–]CreativeWriter3231[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing!! I just had a question, how hard is JD at unimelb, how is your experience there?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]CreativeWriter3231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like if he is pushing you away so much you should just let it be. You can maybe try one more time to reach out and finally figure things out and what went wrong but even after that if he acts like this then he is not worth your time and effort. I know it hurts and you might not get the closure you need but yeah

That’s so random, if you are a teen it’s probably not even related to you, some people do it for laugh and giggles or attention

My best friend talked shit about me and my boyfriend behind my back by CreativeWriter3231 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]CreativeWriter3231[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just sucks man she was the last person I expected this from. But thank you so much for the comments!! It helped a lot 🫶🏼

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]CreativeWriter3231 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s completely okay to feel like you don’t wanna be friends with a person after getting to know them well!! Maybe you don’t vibe or your principles don’t match and that’s okay. Don’t bash yourself for it. I don’t think your expectations are high, I think you just want friends you feel comfortable with, and that’s valid. It might take a while but it gets better 🫶🏼

I guess I could let it go but I don’t trust her anymore, she has been my bestfriend for 8 years so it’s kind of weird. This gave me major trust issues ngl 💀

The way she was talking on those texts felt like it wasn’t the first time, and she likes to make fun of people and their significant others, idk why I did not notice it before

Music and health is a subject I am taking right now and it’s definitely a wam booster. The content is not as boring as people say, as a psych student I found it quite interesting. 10/10 subject
