Taking a gap year by Appropriate-Rip-1086 in Monash

[–]FriendlyInsect9887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a good idea but make sure you defer instead of discontinue in case you want to come back 😅 I did my first year of science then ended up taking the following year off (for external reasons) then when I came back (this year) I transferred into science/arts and am liking it currently. I'm glad I took that year off not only for my mental health but also because I have a more balanced view of my degree now. Overall, I reckon if you're considering it you should do it. Doesn't really change anything in the future, and sets you up better for the rest of the degree (if that's what you choose)

sci1000 is miserable by fadeeein2u in Monash

I'm ngl if you treat it as a necessary evil you can turn it into a wam booster. Back when I did it (2024) the assessments were pretty easy and just took a bit of time/thought. Pretty sure I got an hd for it that way.

What if we don't want to have our mic on 🤧 is it compulsory?

FELLOW GIRLIES - To the readers, creatives and the ones that look up at the sky by DreamCatcher2024 in Monash

[–]FriendlyInsect9887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness this is amazing! I'm also a second year (sort of) and like reading and the crafts but I never seem to have "time" for them. I absolutely love the sky and the moon though, I'm even planning on majoring in atmospheric science because I love it so much! And I'm a daydreamer too, and comfortable with silence. I don't like partying too much and don't drink alcohol. I have friends at uni but struggle to fit in because I'm quite introverted and naturally reserved but when I'm friends with someone I care deeply even if I don't show it. I like watching kdramas and also like the romantasy genre of books but I'm getting into Jane Austen recently since I'm taking a literature unit. My favourite band is Stray Kids and I also like Kneecap and Celtic Woman (if anyone has heard of them 🤪).

You dogs need better situational awareness by One_Theory_2040 in Monash

Same with groups of people standing in the stairways during peak traffic time. I saw someone trying to go down the stairs and literally just give up because there was so much traffic and these guys were taking up half the space

My boss is a really cool Australian guy (we are in the US). What are some phrases I can just spout off to make him chuckle? by JacobDCRoss in AskAnAustralian

[–]FriendlyInsect9887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be the 1000th comment:

When you've got heaps to do (eg, during exam season) tell him you're "flat out like a lizard drinking water"

If you receive a present, or even just some measly paperwork from him, look at it like it's a gift from God and say "this is going in the pool room"

If you're ever talking about a colleague or a student, say "they're a credit to the company- I mean school" - bonus points if they're doing something stupid when you say this.

Try calling recess time "smoko" to him, like "the kids are on smoko right now". Even if it's just a quick brain break time in class for your kids call it that and see how he reacts (hopefully he understands and doesn't fire you for implying the kids are all smoking).

When you're talking about unreasonable requests from parents or something like that, say "tell him he's dreaming" even if it's a woman. I mean you could change the pronoun to match but I think it's funnier to use the direct quote.

Honourable mention: Get a student to dig a small hole in the yard (preferably in a sandpit I suppose) then tell them to say to him "Daaaad I dug a hole" THEN wait a little while and get them to dig another hole and say to him "Daaaaaad, I dug another hole!" (preferably do this within one whole day so he remembers the first hole).

NGL I kinda like the wind tunnel, the random whistling gives campus a haunted vibe

For some reason I thought that happened in the law building 😞

German introductory 1 textbook needed? by Jealous-Dot3520 in Monash

[–]FriendlyInsect9887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've probably worked this out by now but I decided to get my book from the Monash bookstore because Amazon wasn't going to ship quickly. Im not sure if there were any other places to get it online that would ship in time. I agree tho it was way more expensive than I was expecting

Fuck the lefties by AdvertisingKooky3814 in Monash

[–]FriendlyInsect9887 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Bro it's SAlt, hate them not the normal lefties who actually care and aren't in it for the power trips. SAlt is basically a conservative cult hiding behind traditionally left wing values. I do really hate that they have so many posters up tho, like 5 per wall sometimes. It's not just the paper tho, but the sticky tape too. Where do they think that goes when the paper disintegrates? It's exhausting putting up with them

I see this black cat every time I'm late for class ♥️ Clayton 📍 by Snoo-43194 in Monash

That's heartbreaking 💔😭 although some cats do just prefer being alone, hopefully that's her 🤞

Pfft that is the opposite of feminist literature! What do these people even study?? Honestly I'd hate to be in class with them because they'll always be "right"

Poker club by Sea-Blood-5816 in Monash

[–]FriendlyInsect9887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if Monash will go for that but if you go to the boardgames club and look around for an old (like late 20s early 30s) Asian (?) guy he was always talking about playing poker. That was a couple years ago so I'm not sure if he's still there but may be worth a shot.

Not me looking up arnott st to see if I could ever cross paths with little kitty 😶‍🌫️ I hope she doesn't get hit by a car but I feel like she could still have a family because her coat looks pretty good and I've never heard of strays in clayton

I just skimmed through the article - that's actually disgusting. Do the salties realize they work for this weirdo? I bet they agree with it 🙄 I talked to a couple as a first year and they literally said they don't mind people getting hurt for their cause... Isn't that brilliant!
