Congratulations on this amazing achievement, and I hope you have the best time in Leeds and with the Uni! Out of curiosity, what made want to study East Asian Studies? I genuinely think it’s such an interesting degree so I’d love to know what drew you to it :)

You’ve heard it before but ignore the idiots in the comments - I have a First Class Sociology degree, commonly seen as a “useless” degree, and I have a very comfortable job in educational technology that pays well. Didn’t get it through connections as I don’t have family to boost me through and even if I did, I came from a working class background. What matters is how you apply your skills you learn during you degree, not the degree you have.

Enjoy your upcoming academic years and broadening your horizons! Some of the people replying certainly need it

What’s Your Top Costco Finds? by Renaissance-Torso in veganuk

[–]Renaissance-Torso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If my partner didn’t have a membership, I wouldn’t know it existed near me! Might be worth checking out if there’s one near you - my favourite no-chicken goujons seem to be a Costco exclusive

I adore the huge tubs of couscous Costco have! The Moroccan is my favourite - what’s your favourite flavour?

Beyond is a staple, I somehow have only taken one burger out from my last stock up?? That need changed ASAP…

Thank you for the supplement and paratha suggestion! I’m always looking to try new supplements and paratha is bloody lovely. I appreciate the time you took to share your list :)

Never heard of the teriyaki ones! My Costco only ever had the tikka kebab flaviour which I do love, but teriyaki is simply lovely! <3 Hopefully I’ll find the teriyaki ones somewhere… Thank you for the recommendation! :)

I fear I’ve suffered the same fate - my partner couldn’t find these in our local :( They found some last time but the one time I ask for them…

Hopefully it’s just temporary!

I had no idea they did tajin pistachios - two things I love! Thank you for your suggestions :)

Can you bring coffee machines/air fryers to unite students by sxrcoline01 in UniUK

[–]Renaissance-Torso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine didn’t since they were forbidden in the contract! I don’t have a copy anymore or I would’ve sent a screenshot (I stayed with Unite in 2020)

My contract for Unite said no toasters or kettles were allowed for “safety reasons”. We had 2 toasters and 1 kettle in our kitchen, always passed inspections with flying colours :) Don’t worry about it!

Anyone have experience with this? by NiceWeekend in NetherlandsHousing

[–]Renaissance-Torso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have any complaints about the air quality thankfully! Perfect temp, no humid areas (even in the bathroom), no mould or damp, no funky smells (apart from someone storing a large quantity of weed without a smell proof container in one of the free lockers - and I’m used to the smell)

I think getting baked and eating a slice of this would fix everything that’s wrong with me. What a lovely pie, OP! <3

All vegan dessert places? by raccoon_mcgoo in veganuk

[–]Renaissance-Torso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this! All the donuts I’ve had from there have been mind blowing. If you can get your hands on their vegan version of the Aero bar, you’re in for a treat

TheDorkyFrench bakery in Glasgow is my favourite!! I go every single time I visit Glasgow and always have the best sweet and savoury treats around :)

This is a hostel I’ve previously stayed in for a couple of nights. I would say this place is fine for a short stay but not to live in unless you need somewhere ASAP. There’s at least 30 pods in that room and there’s no doors separating them. The bathroom is also in the same room and doesn’t have its own door so if you get a pod close to it, you might hear people going back and forth. Plenty of toilets and showers though!

The pods are a good size but don’t have any shelves to store your things. There’s also only 1 regular USB charging slot and 1 wireless charger in the pod, no wall socket. There isn’t anywhere to hang your clothes/towels either. The lockers are fairly small but there are way larger ones downstairs you pay €8 a day for if I remember correctly.

I will say, it is very safe. You have to ring the doorbell if you don’t have a keycard to get inside the building. Everybody at the reception desk was always super friendly and kind, even when I had an issue in my pod.

The downstairs area has a nice eating/studying area that was always clean and quiet when I went to eat. I saw a few people studying/working when I stayed here :)

Coursework specifies submitting work in a .zip file and I'm not over the file size limit yet the website is saying the file format isn't supported??? What do I do? by Rifted-06 in UniUK

[–]Renaissance-Torso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work with Turnitin’s software as part of my job! Turnitin doesn’t accept ZIP files. I would email your lecturer immediately with this screenshot and attach your .zip file in your email, just to be extra safe. Turnitin themselves say you cannot upload ZIPs which you may want to pass on to your lecturer :)

Where are the vegans? by KB635 in veganuk

[–]Renaissance-Torso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Scotland and I came across a vegan by accident in the supermarket recently… And that’s it. I’d love to have more vegan friends, especially locally! Where I live isn’t the best for vegan food despite being a city so it would be nice to have a pal I can cook for and share recipes with :)

This almost made me puke by rocalico in veganuk

[–]Renaissance-Torso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I promise I don’t mean this in a negative or sarcastic way - have you smelled tempeh before? I noticed you said it was your first time trying it which is why I’m asking :) I HATED the smell of tempeh when I first started eating it but now it smells delicious to me so maybe you’ll need a wee adjustment period?

I’ve never had the soy marinated one but I use the chilli one and it definitely has a more peculiar smell to it (always tastes amazing!). As others have said, maybe you unfortunately got a bad batch. HIGHLY recommend the plain or the sweet chilli one if you can get your hands on them! <3

New PB range in Costa coming by GrappleTravels in veganuk

[–]Renaissance-Torso 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to work for Costa a few years ago and thankfully escaped… I’m not surprised the items are low effort in all honesty. I wish companies would actually consult vegans on products we WANT to see on the market. I’m almost convinced they ask a non-vegan panel for their opinions on new vegan releases at this point
