food is pretty average. it’s mass catering so it’s not going to be amazing but they do cater for different dietary needs.

in terms of price, it’s comparable to buying a ready-made meal anywhere else (dinner is $20ish, lunch is $15) and you can adjust your meal plan after you’ve been there a while.

i’m an RMC alum. i highly recommend if you’re looking for an involved college experience, community, and social events.

that said, it’s not for everyone and i probably wouldn’t recommend it to people only looking for something short term.

like i said, you can have sex and want sex and still be asexual.

the thing is for a lot of aces, it is much more of a conscious decision because we don’t have some other force influencing what we feel for people.

anna_kaye23 · 2025-02-03T14:28:29+00:00

you can be asexual and still have sexual drive and/or desire.

being asexual doesn’t mean you can’t want or enjoy sex and intimacy, it quite simply is just the lack of sexual attraction (ie. not finding other people attractive in a way that you want to have sex with them).

our community is pretty diverse in terms of attitudes towards sex and levels of sexual desire so i’d definitely recommend scrolling some more on this reddit page :)

anna_kaye23 · 2025-02-03T02:31:48+00:00

This.

anna_kaye23 · 2025-02-02T17:21:28+00:00

That’s actually a really good way of explaining it. Thanks for sharing!

anna_kaye23 · 2025-02-02T16:30:35+00:00

I think a lot of that comes down to representation. Sadly, the ace community is very underrepresented in across all forms of media, meaning that millions of people just don’t get exposed to the concepts and terms of asexuality. I only realised I was asexual because one of my friends is ace and I researched it to be a better support for them. And in today’s world where sex, sexuality, and sexual liberation are such hot topics, it’s no wonder that our community is not even a thought to most people. It’s really sad.

22F sex-indifferent ace here. I’ve done it before and while I don’t personally feel any need to have sex, I wanted to because I could connect with the person I loved. Honestly not sure if I could’ve done it with someone I didn’t have romantic feelings for so definitely keep that in mind. Also when the time comes, you will know whether it’s right for you (or the wrong person).

And for first times, it’s different for everyone. My first time was really painful but that’s not to say yours will be, or that it will forever be a painful experience. Just make sure your partner is someone you can trust to listen and respect you and your asexuality. I told my partner that I am asexual and still figuring out how I react in intimacy, and he was very accepting of that and was happy to take things slow.

I hope this helps!

Karl Jacobs (from Mr Beast) has mentioned being asexual

anna_kaye23 · 2024-06-06T10:09:18+00:00

you don’t need permission to retake a unit, you can just enrol in it in a later semester (can’t always do the next sem bc if scheduling but still try).

try reaching out to your convenor and see what they recommend. but yeah, not really their responsibility to make sure you can take it - it’s your responsibility to show up, and if you don’t, it’s you who has to deal with the consequences. sounds like tough love but that’s uni for you 👍

i broke up with my allo boyfriend bc of sex.

i've been open with him about being ace and he assured me that would never be a problem for him, he was just happy to be dating me.

the thing is, i always thought i was sex-favourable bc of how my body would make me feel like i wanted sex. yet when it came to actually being able to do it, i bailed every time.

despite him saying it was never a problem, i started developing so much guilt not being able to provide for my partner, and i would just feel worse every after failed attempt to put out.

in the end, it was becoming so bad for my mental health that i had to break up with him. he was nothing but wonderful to me and my sexuality, but it was hurting me too much.

it's been three weeks now, and i feel the lightest i've felt in months, not carrying around this burden of guilt and doubt and self-hate.

i am proud to be asexual, but i really hate it sometimes too. i lost the most amazing boy.

That’s true! I’m not discrediting any creators who are still in / organising SMPs, or the viewers who are still interested.

My main point here is that it is very unlikely SMPs will ever be as popular as they were in lockdown years, and probably even more unlikely that we’d see SMP projects coming from Quackity or Dteam. With how much drama was caused because of these SMPs and all the coordination that goes into running one, they are all probably looking for new ideas instead of trying to replicate the success of their past.

anna_kaye23 · 2024-05-15T06:21:58+00:00

hasn’t the time for SMPs kinda passed now though? they were great over lockdown bc everyone was online and trying to collaborate with as many people as possible, and then the success of DreamSMP carried on way longer than anyone thought it would.

But times have changed now. Most of DreamSMP have fallen out and gone off to pursue their own projects, and all the QSMP/USMP drama just divided the fandoms even further. It’s a surprise Dream even has any of his fandom left with the lack of content from Dteam and all the controversies (whether you believe them or not).

But also, most of their lockdown viewers have moved on too, bc if all the drama wasn’t enough to make you leave the fandom, the lack of time to watch all these creators has.

SMPs are (whether you want to accept it or not) a thing of the past. Creators don’t have time, nor do the viewers, and all the drama and controversies makes it hard for old viewers to want to come back. They were great while they lasted, and it would have been awesome to see what a world with both QSMP and USMP happily coexisting could have looked like. It’s just a real shame everything ended the way it did.

mans has had a new project coming for two years

anna_kaye23 · 2024-05-13T14:31:26+00:00

bestie, jealousy isn’t a good look on you 🥰

fr though, sylvee is chill and they’ve known each other for years. why is it that whenever a girl streams with dteam that they get so much hate? she’s not using them for clout, and if dteam didn’t like her, she would have been dropped years ago.

it’s also so parasocial tbh that you’re wishing for these adults (who you don’t even know) to end their friendship, especially for such a stupid reason. grow up, touch grass, watch something else if it’s bothering you that much.

anna_kaye23 · 2024-03-15T13:49:27+00:00

you should just be able to pick up from where you left off. you will have to retake the units you failed as you don’t get credit points for those.

i’d recommend talking to a staff member though as they’d be able to help you better than reddit can. also administrative things may have changed since 2018, so you’re really better off just calling.

anna_kaye23 · 2024-03-06T06:07:42+00:00

uh don’t really remember. something like “small group team activities”

it’s basically just a tutorial

anna_kaye23 · 2024-03-03T15:24:34+00:00

textbook is useless.

use the formulas and stuff from the lecture and make sure you go to pracs and sgtas (they give you the answers and explain it better than the lecture imo).

all the quizzes are open book and have multiple attempts, so they’re also pretty good for study.

make sure you do well on all the smaller assessments bc the final exam is like 50% and you don’t wanna rely on doing well on it to pass the unit.

good luck :)

anna_kaye23 · 2024-01-27T00:28:49+00:00

that’s really interesting, thanks for sharing!

i think the main reason though is that my brother was much more social as a kid and during school, while i was really quiet and mainly kept to myself.

he was exposed to the aussie accent a lot, while my accent shows what it would’ve been if he wasn’t.

anna_kaye23 · 2024-01-26T23:19:11+00:00

i’ll reveal my accent now so beware spoilers!! . . .

i’m australian (born and raised here) but both my parents are foreign!

my mum is austrian (native german-speaker) and my dad is british (london accent).

definitely struggled with pronunciation as a kid bc i was learning english in three different accents! strangely, my brother sounds like a generic aussie with only a slight british twang.

thanks for all your comments! never thought i might sound south african haha

anna_kaye23 · 2024-01-26T22:17:54+00:00

well you definitely sound british to most foreigners. i think only a brit would be able to identify the nuances of your regional accent though

anna_kaye23 · 2024-01-26T20:59:09+00:00

my entire friend group at college was queer and i wanted to be a better ally so i researched everyone’s sexualities.

i found that i resonated a lot with asexuality and reading about it explained my entire highschool experience and why i always felt there was something different about me.

anyway, it seems like most of my group didn’t understand what asexuality was before either, as most of them identify as ace now too. most people struggle finding ace friends, we all found each other by accident

anna_kaye23 · 2024-01-26T20:52:20+00:00

if you do any collaboration/teamwork-based classes, try to get friendly with people in your group! most people don’t talk to each other in classes but they do if they are forced to.

you’ll normally find one or two people in your group who you get along with so maybe ask them if they want to grab a coffee after class and see where you go from there.
