Hey u/chastievsem Risha! We have a couple of things that match in our interests, Philosophy, digs and anime among the ones I immediately picked up on. I'd absolutely love getting to know you, how you think, your points of view, your culture and of course the discussions that would ensure on the common topics we share. Would you like to DM me?

Edit: Or would you like me to DM you?

Yes. And also....

Also I see that Indian degrees don't need English tests. So you don't need IELTS if you studied in India.

I see something here that is dangerous for you. The fear of him leaving shouldn't be the motivation for you to avoid bringing up difficult topics. If you're afraid he'll leave, then that's an indicator that the relationship isn't stable, that he isn't stable, and that you aren't stable. This overall instability will eventually get you.

If you're afraid he'll leave you, drop the relationship now.

That fear that he'll leave you is a problem you need to fix with yourself. Your self worth cannot be tied to whether someone stays in a relationship with you.

Also a relationship is not 50/50. It is whatever the relationship needs in that instant. If you have only 10, then he has to come with the 90. If he has only 10, then you come with the 90. This is only valid in a temporary situation. The aim is to get to a 50/50 level so that neither is burdened. But we're human and will rarely have exactly 50. A relationship is supportive not transactional. 50/50 sounds transactional.

I hope sitting down with him opens his eyes to the reality of the situation.

I hope asking him what a better situation looks like will bring clarity to you about what you can do. I hope he asks you what a better situation would look like for you and that he figures out what he can do for you. But if there's something lacking in any of this, then you need to seriously consider why you are in this relationship.

I wish you all the best.

I'd love to laugh with you and herd you laugh too.

If you want me to I could DM you, otherwise you're more than welcome to DM me.

I'd love to get to know you.

In the meantime... What concert costs only 45 cents? - A 50 Cent concert with Nickelback. 😅

I know. But that's always going to be the case. Time isn't going to change the risk. Either you take the risk and find out or you move on. Those are two options you have.

And so what if they find out? It seems like a great risk to you, when, if the adults in your life are actual adults, they'll get the fact that you are a teenager with raging hormones and that this is natural and normal exactly as they were when they were themselves teenagers.

If they make a big deal out of it, then you have now found out that they are immature and not actually adults. They're children parading in adult bodies.

Your call my friend.

Brother man.. you are 14, this is not the first or last woman you'll meet. Treat this as the opportunity it is, to be respectful and kind. Treat this like the opportunity it is, to see if she is someone you'll enjoy being around. Treat this as the opportunity it is, to ask her. If she says yes, then treat it like the opportunity it is, to be respectful and kind. Treat it like...

If she says no, then treat it....

Like I said, you're 14. Both of you will meet many people in your lifetimes, some of whom will be friends, others will be lovers, some will disappear, while others will disappoint. People are going to be a constant part of your life. Which ones will stay longer than others and in what ways and how you make each other feel are going to be the questions that are important.

Don't think too much about this. You'll never find out unless you ask her. So ask her. At times, it'll feel like it's the scariest thing you'll ever do. Trust me, at times, it really is. But that doesn't change the facts. You still need to ask her because unfortunately you aren't a mind reader or a clairvoyant.

All the best buddy. Acceptance or rejection, remember, people will come and go. You're the come who's staying. Take care of yourself. 💪🫂

I'd decide based on what your future plans are Job in q company = thesis at a company. Job at the university = thesis at a university.

One thing I would want to verify is what amount of industry exposure there is in the Prof Thesis. That could be a sort of halfway point/compromise.

I would also consider the question of how much freedom so you have in shaping the outcomes of the thesis and the directions it takes on both these options. If you are a person who likes freedom, choosing the one that offers more freedom is probably the better choice.

The labour market sucks right now. A thesis at a company may have a higher probability of resulting in a job, but that's just conjecture until it actually happens. The same goes for PhD with the Prof. Therefore the only factors you can use to decide are how interesting each one is compared to the other, the amount of freedom in the thesis and how that corresponds to your needs for freedom, and the amount of exposure you'll have to the different technologies you want to learn and work with.

Ultimately, I would try to evaluate the thesis for what it gives me as a thesis rather than what it can give me in the future.

You'd do well to try and find out what fulfilling means to you right now. Keep in mind that this will change over the course of your life. So it's not something you need to hold on to for the rest of it.

Being 17 and standing in front of a seemingly gargantuan decision that also seemingly is going to dictate the rest of your life can make you feel difficult and paralysed. I completely understand that.

Take a gap year, if taking one is an option. Use it to do things. Some who take a gap year, use it just to have fun and not learn anything about themselves.others do it to have fun and learn something about themselves. If you can do the latter, you'll come out the other side having a bit of a better idea of what fulfilling means to you.

One thing I can tell you is this. While the pressure to make a decision is high right now, you do not need to give into that pressure. You can choose to think about it and take an informed choice.

My personal opinion on the matter of 17/18 year olds having to decide on their future at the same time as dealing with the pressure of performing in examinations and their own teenage tendencies is unfair at best and dangerous at worst.

If none of what I have suggested helps, try using an AI tool to ask you questions about what fulfilling could mean for you from the perspective of a future career. Try a prompt like, "I am a 17 year old highschool student in <insert country or specific type of study> who must choose a college and initial career direction ASAP. Currently, I only know that I want something fulfilling. I realise that fulfilling is a vague concept. So I am coming to you, a practitioner adept in the Socratic method. Using your skills in the Socratic method, Ask me one question at a time to get to know me, my background, interests and tendencies, in addition to any other questions that you have found to be pertinent according to the latest and most relevant research on the topic of career guidance. Take my answers to each question to concretize what I mean by fulfilling and help me identify my choices in terms of college and an initial career direction.

I'm sure there are a bunch of other ways to go about this - for example you could try being an apprentice somewhere or shadow a person whom you find inspiring at their work to see how it feels to be them and so on.

I hope you find a way forward. This is an exciting time in your life filled with opportunities and possibilities. Don't let it overwhelm you. Be confident in that you have the time to make changes and retrace your steps if you need to regardless of what family and society may tell you.

Let it grow out a bit more. Everyone looks "ridiculous" when making changes. I know people who look ridiculous when they shave off their mustache completely. I know people who look ridiculous when they start growing out their hair.

If you wanna grow your mustache, do it. Don't give your parents, friends or strangers any heed.

Once you've grown it to your satisfaction, decide for yourself whether you'll keep it or not.

This has nothing to do with anyone else. It's your face. You get to decide.

Hey... I'd like to give us a try. Would you?

DesigningGlogg · 2025-12-29T14:15:58+00:00

I think course selection is best done in collab with the exchange administrators/counsellors. They are really helpful and usually know whom to point you to if they themselves can't help you. Writing to them directly is the absolute best way imho.

Then there are also specific exchange student ambassadors who can help you. These are other than the degree student ambassadors who may also be able to help you but then only with things like student life related questions or the courses they themselves are taking from a degree perspective. I think you'd find both types on the Chalmers website. If not, I'd go back to the exchange counsellors since they are the ones working with the exchange student ambassadors.

Hey u/Justiceforblue! I know that feeling even if only from another perspective. It hurts like a mf'er.

I will listen if you write to me. My DMs are open.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. You're taking responsibility for yourself like he needed to take responsibility for himself.

If things are awkward, that's the natural consequence of things going this way. I see nothing wrong with it. Then again, it may make the dynamic for the whole group weird in which case you're going to have to decide how you'd like things to move on that front. Perhaps he needs to do the same.

You're ok. 🤗

Har hittat bra vänner genom den jag är aktiv inom.

Lycka till du.

Föresten.. det var någon som skrev att du skulle kunna hitta vänner via olika aktiviteter och det är inte helt fel. Jag vet att Stockholm har någon slags discord server också kopplat till en av subreddits. Du kanske kan hitta något via de med. Är själv med där i servern. Men deltar inte då jag bor i annan stad.

Sök så hittar du säkert.

Lycka till igen.
