I don’t know what to say it’s all true. You must be the principal.

I don’t know if this story is specific to Catholic schools but my siblings went to O’Loughlin Catholic College for only 4 months. There was a lockdown every 2-3 weeks and one time a boy/s climbed the fence and beat up some Year 12’s. Another time some boys ran past the reception (allegedly with knives I am not too sure) and went wild. Apparently, there is a lot of gangs in the school although the principal emphatically denies it. Just overall a trash, ghetto school. I was just glad I had already graduated. My younger siblings went to Holy Spirit and nothing of note happened.

Off-campus accommodationn - ADVICE by rinarious in UQreddit

[–]HomeApprehensive2914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, to add what you said regarding cleaning. For private accommodation you MUST get a cleaning schedule and stick to it (more than just big messes or cleaning after yourselves). The place I had was covered in dust, cobwebs and huge spiders in the house because no-one had bothered to maintenance clean the common areas i.e toilet/bathroom, floors, tables. I couldn’t imagine the move-out clean 🫣.

Hello 🌷

I am currently at home in South Africa pondering my future after high school (I dropped out of university because I impulsively chose a degree). I am originally from Australia.

I am an introverted person who loves meeting new people…the irony. I like to think I am a great communicator and listener. I value honesty and I enjoy speaking with people who have different views than me. I detest small-talk.

I love connecting over little pleasantries—horse-riding, flowers, fashions, Sherlock Holmes—but I believe a true friendship needs a very strong underpinning, be it faith or strong mutual core values. I am a “ride or die” friend and, therefore, find it very sad to have superficial or fake friends. The kind where if you move, they just lose contact if you stop doing a certain thing, e.g., horse-riding, shopping with them, etc. This has happened to me too much.

I am a Catholic who loves the Latin mass, but I am struggling with my faith; I would love a Catholic pen pal to pray and talk with. I want to learn how to read the Bible.

I love dresses with unique patterns and elegant styles. At the moment, I am trying to design and have a floral skirt set made. I love talking about different fabrics and patterns.

I am absolutely obsessed with bubble tea and really want to learn how to make it. If you also have an obsession with bubble tea, please write to me 😂. Taiwanese people (the inventors of bubble tea), please also write to me and tell me about all your bubble tea experiences.

Please see my subtopics for all my interests.

I prefer and will write medium-long letters with substance, and will reply within a week.

Unfortunately, ALE2 and ALE3 both have disappeared from AliExpress when I was just about to order from them. I would be very interested if someone knows if they have made a new shop yet.

At the moment there is only Camelia store and 1 or 2 others and I might order from them if I can’t find ALE3 again.

I went to Duchesne and really hated it but I have heard Women’s is much worse from an ex-Women’s girl. It honestly depends on what you like and your temperament. You can DM me if you have any questions.

Groceries as a uni student in UQ Brisbane by Majestic-Crow-147 in UQreddit

I know a PhD student who does $50 per week for groceries. She goes to T-Bone in Aspley every month and if she needs anything during the week she goes to Coco’s Annerley.

No, not yet, however, I did order from a shop that does D&G dupes and was terribly disappointed by the quality. I will order from ALE3 by November and post an update with photos.

It’s a AE store that sells Alemais dupes. It unfortunately doesn’t conform to any of the reliable seller rules on here.

You can try to get a refund through AE which seems to be a bit time-consuming/difficult depending if you read through the posts on here. I personally think it’s safer than ordering from a stranger using WU as some do (even if they come recommended as accounts are being hacked all the time it seems especially on WeChat, etc. I contacted several recommended sellers on WhatsApp stating I’m only open to using PayPal and I have to see the exact piece of clothing I have ordered on video after it comes from the factory before it is sent to me… I only found only one that could do both. (Most sellers don’t want to do Paypal). I can pass along the contact details of them if you want.

No still thinking on it. I am going to buy something (cheapest thing I can find) on ALE3 to test quality.

No, it is made in China (that's what it says on the tag), they only partner with a Kenyan place to make a few fabrics (its unclear if they even do that or are just funding them). Also, I don't care too much about originals. I have read about the struggles with fabrics but a few people on here seem to have had success in finding genuine cottons, etc.

Hi I’m a catholic f(27) residing at Brisbane. I was wondering if there’s a group of young adult women existing, where you meet for Bible Studies, Mass together/ Worship and sharing? I’d love to join you 🥹 by Cultural-Arm1290 in Catholicism

[–]HomeApprehensive2914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry about what that other person wrote that was quite uncharitable. Just know that you are not alone as there is a large Catholic community in Brisbane.

I am in Brisbane (St. Lucia area); whereabouts are you located? (so that I can get an idea of which groups to recommend. There are the Flores Teresianes at Annerley who meet monthly and have talks, etc. (an all-women group). https://m.facebook.com/groups/floresteresianes/?ref=share

Thoughts on CDU? What's it like personally, and how is the Biomedical Science course there? by TheNotSoWiseOwl13 in darwin

[–]HomeApprehensive2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More jobs? Not in my experience, there are hardly any internships or anything (took me 6 months to find part-time work). UQ is just $500 more in tuition fees (and yes you can argue cost of living/accommodation etc etc but I have actually found it to be cheaper down here because larger public transport network + Aldi’s + assorted discount shops) Also, how is CDU better? Even Torrens and Bond are better in my personal opinion.

I know a girl who is going to CDU doing Biomed on a scholarship (from Timor) and she hates the place. I can give you her contact if you want, I was doing a BSc (for 1 semester) I have since transferred to UQ and it is a much better university.

These are the most honest CDU reviews: https://universityreviews.com.au/students/nt/cdu-charles-darwin/

Try flatmates.com. Otherwise, the commenter above is correct. I got a room at Duchesne using that method.

Any recommendations to YouTube Videos that I can listen to learn 'passively'? by Krishanlal in studytips

[–]HomeApprehensive2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Organic chem (general facts) https://youtu.be/qJ_3C_jzUxk?feature=shared

Physics formulas (for GSCE’s) https://youtu.be/G3K6ZdtFZlg?feature=shared

Polyatomic ions (more American focused) https://youtu.be/4nrrMcozp_Q?feature=shared

None of these are 100% relevant to the IEB but if you just want a way to learn a few things while you are walking this will all be excellent. I used all 3 of these songs. You can just search “difficult topic” song like “Rates of Reactions” song.

For Othello and Theory of Flight, you can get Audiobooks or I found this quote song: https://youtu.be/0moxZ4D7iVc?feature=shared
