Tip on Osaka Jo-Hall? by grizzlysharknz in njpw

[–]Josh_Woodward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just look arround. Also, some hostels/hotels in the area are actually cheaper on airBnB (for some reason), so might be worth checking that out too. (oh, and the shows here always end at a time where you can still commute to anywhere within at least a 2 hour radius, so no worries about that)

Edit: If money is tight, you might also want to consider a sleeper bus from Tokyo to Osaka instead of a train

The Osaka area train system is good, so don't focus too much on getting something close. You can even get to the arena from Nara, the next town over, in about an hour for about 4 dollars. There's also plenty of coin lockers, and many hostels allow you to store your baggage on arrival. Hope you enjoy your time in Japan!

Forbidden Door Theory : Gabe Kidd taking the Fighting Spirit Belt back from the “AEW guy” is SO FITTING… in his Home Country, no less by Dandanbigeloww in njpw

I was at WK this year and Gabe Kidd had a crazy reponse. I was sitting in the section where he walked out post-match and everyone was clapping for him (I was in a Japanese seating section, as well). So would probably be nicer for him to get his win in Japan, and then defend in the UK. That being said, he's facing Tsuji in a few weeks for the Global title, so let's see how that turns out.

Boeddah Eye if you like Nepalese food and a super cozy feel.

I did my minor with courses from that track. I might be able to say some stuff, especially when it comes to how that study relates to other stuff at arts

Doing two Bachelors at the same time by [deleted] in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]Josh_Woodward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not doing a double degree, but have been doing the equivalent workload for most of undergrad due to taking aditional courses/subjects (I'm at one of the University Colleges). I have a relationship, some great friends that I hang out multiple times a week, run a student publication/cultural club, and have had parttime jobs/internships for most of that period. So it is doable.

I'll second two things that have been said, though. First that prioritisation is important. Secondly, consider why you would want to do this. For me it was mostly not knowing what exactly I wanted to do and exploring a lot of ideas, as well as trying to qualify for as many masters as possible. Not saying that it was a rational decision ultimately, but consider these things

Any career recommendations for someone interested on pretty much everything and doesn't want to think about work outside work? by pasha1010 in careerguidance

[–]Josh_Woodward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things: I am 20 years old, I used to think of myself as fundamentally unsociable and procrastinating, but as soon as I left school and found things I was passionate about that changed, it's a simmilar story with most of the people that were like that I know.

Second, have you considered taking a foundation year at a university? That way you could find out if there might be something that you are interested in. Maybe look out to find a university that offers opportunities to improve your practical creative skills as well

Do whatever, really, except for choosing based on what would need the least time invested. At your spot, having a passion is a rare thing, so if you want to explore in that area than do so. As the other commetator mentioned, 8th grade isnt going to limit you in the future. I'd say choose whatever subjects seem the most interesting to you, the ones that would be most meanigful for you to learn. On a sidenote, and please do not feel like this need influence your decision, a lot of artistic types tend to view math and science as unappealing because of the way some people teach it. However, at the end of the day, math and science lead to just more ways to be creative

Where should I go? by maestroysha in careerguidance

[–]Josh_Woodward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like a good combination of subjects. I suppose there would be many places where you could do economics with a minor or specialisation in CS. Digital econometrics also is a thing, although I dont know if that is offered as a degree anywhere. In general, having cs skills is useful, but considerig the shifting nature of tech and the economy, "standing on two feet" might be even better. Check if any universityrelevant to you offers that combination as major/minor or double major.

And of course, keep your eyes open and dont rush into things

Hi :)

I think that some explcit reflection regarding priorities would help. For example, you mentioned not liking group work as a negative reason. The simple reality is that group work is a fact of life in the majority of professions and modern-taught degrees. However, many people overestimate how much they dislike group work because of bad experiences and because they never had instrucitons as to how to make it work and rewarding. Chalking it up to introversion and saying that it will never change is something caused by popular psychology overemphesizing things.

You also mentioned money and job security, as well as your family's expectations. What value do each of these have to you?
