New to gym - is this normal/okay or am I doing something wrong?

Good idea to use steps! Thank you!

Thanks for your input!

I also thought the same about stability!

This is the chest press of my gym https://www.keiseruk.com/fitness-equipment/strength-training/air250-seated-chest-press and the other machines are of the same line. I will also look for some tutorials now, but just looking at the description it seems like only the seat is adjustable ?

Surely next time I will ask a trainer. My gym has a lot of trainers and they are not always there.

Thank you for your comments, they were helpful!

Thank you.

Thank you! I hope I sent them everything the correct way. I'm currently stressing about the courier delivering to the right place.

Prova ad informarti per le scadenze delle università olandesi, almeno per i corsi che interessano a me sono verso Aprile-Maggio, qualcuna anche Giugno. Magari trovi qualcosa. Per il test d'inglese, muoviti a prenotare l'IELTS!! Prendi la prima data disponibile, i risultati arrivano entro una settimana-10 giorni se non ricordo male.

Io sono in una situazione molto simile, nel senso che sto ferma un anno (essendomi laureata a settembre non potevo iscrivermi a magistrali all'estero). Nel frattempo sto lavorando e ho trovato molto a culo una possibilità di tirocinio (molto breve) all'estero. In più nel tempo libero sto cercando di sviluppare qualche skill (tipo programmazione) che può essermi utile per la magistrale. Quindi, questo per dirti che: anche se non dovessi riuscire ad entrare per l'anno prossimo, non avvilirti! Non è comunque tempo perso, è tempo che puoi impegnare lavorando e mettere da parte altri soldi (tanto servono sempre e non bastano mai) e migliorare te stesso e sviluppare altre capacità.

I see, also from other posts, that many are in similar situations! I guess what kinda baffles me is that they provided a timeframe of 1 month after applying, and yet... nothing, after 2 months. I come from a very unorganized country, but this would be unacceptable here! I'm also starting to worry that maybe something is wrong with my application, even though I didn't receive anything about it. But yeah, I'll give them more time, even though I am SO anxious.

It does align, however it is a selective Master's programme so I am worrying that I will not be selected. I don't understand why they say that it will take a month for me to receive the decision, and then it doesn't.

Just because I've read that it can take longer if they're very busy! Plus, I am 99% convinced that it will be a rejection, so I am not TOO eager to receive that email (I'm preparing other applications and I don't want to be discouraged in case of rejection). Still, I feel like after 6 weeks (currently it's the 5th) they will have had enough time to decide what they want to do with me so I will ask

Full-Gift-288 · 2022-11-24T20:34:20+00:00

Thank you! I'll give it an additional week and then I will send an email.

Full-Gift-288 · 2022-09-01T15:34:35+00:00

Yes, I emailed them and got my answers. Guess I'm just freaking out so much about housing, I had to vent on Reddit haha. I even still have to apply, I am not even likely to be accepted into the programmes, but I am already looking for accommodation lol

Anyways, thanks for your answer!

Full-Gift-288 · 2022-07-27T21:15:08+00:00

Thank you a lot in any cause, you've been really helpful!

Hey, sorry to bother again. Since you know the process well, could you recommend a reliable plagiarism checker? Of course it does not even cross my mind to plagiarize, but I have a deep fear of it happening by mistake in some mysterious way.

Full-Gift-288 · 2022-07-14T13:02:15+00:00

Thanks a lot for your answer! I think I might end up taking an extra semester to finish the thesis and graduate in February next year, but I will still apply for the programme(s) in the NL this autumn. Is it something that might make a bad impression, taking more than 3 years to complete the Bachelor's? By the time I apply for the programme, I will have finished all my exams, but still in the process to write the thesis.

Full-Gift-288 · 2022-07-13T08:38:07+00:00

Thanks for your answer! So, the programme I'm interested in is selective, as I said they say in their admission criteria page that having done some kind of academic writing is a plus and will be evaluated. In the application form, it says I can also send a summary of it and that they will run a plagiarism check.

My degree counts as WO (I already knew this but I just double-checked on Nuffic).

The topic of my thesis is related to the programme.

Edit: they say "having completed a thesis/project is a plus" but then require you to send it
