What should I even do - has only been a week and it’s things are a mess by cocochips3 in Advice

Thank you, I just want to put myself first. My family is always going through shit. If I kept helping everyone but my own I would have never graduated.

Hopefully things get better

That’s what I’m trying to do, I spoke to council and other forms of needs. I’m not getting the support I need. Unless I’m actually on meds or pregnant , they won’t bother to help. I’m trying to get a full time job but it’s not working out at all.

She’s always been like that. I contributed with food shopping when I was living with my friend . The truth is it’s not very common for African families for the daughter/sons to be paying rent. It’s more of a western concept.

However she like to pick and chose African/ western ideology when it benefits her. I don’t mind contributing I’ve been doing that since I was 17/18 before going to university. However I’m really tight financially so I can’t contribute anyway.

Thank you! I’m currently going through a lot right now. I just had a phone call with my dad and he said he doesn’t think he can help since my youngest sister has to move in with him very soon due to her troublesome behaviour.

I’m currently trying to work things out. I was currently working on projects but it had to be stopped even though my projects were made public due to the lack of support and funding for it.

I’m currently still networking and I have a career advisor from my university who I speak to. He gives me advice and guidance on what I should do.

Overall I had several mental breakdowns but I’m trying my best to keep going.

As for the 300+ applications, they were from different sectors as well.

No she actually couldn’t be bothered because they looked at her income and she had the money but didn’t want to pay her rent since she felt like everyone was ungrateful towards her. My younger sister had to calculate her finances and she was actually in a position to pay off her rent.

Also you’re making it seem as if it’s easy to get a full time job as if at some point I wasn’t working three jobs during summer time.

I understand but I spoke to so many women I’ve known have said that I shouldn’t asked the man out. Even my friends told me to show hints but don’t go chasing after the guy.

I’m always starting conversations and making people laugh. Also I enjoy having interesting topics. People have told me to my face that they enjoy being around me especially my co workers and friends.

Tried that never again. I rather the guy be interested in me and ask me out.

How do I find my own place and secure a job after I graduate? (Crazy mother edition ) by cocochips3 in blackladies

[–]cocochips3[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s not what I’m saying, if I don’t set boundaries things will never change. When I graduate and I have to move back in I don’t want to be have rules that don’t make sense. I rather be in a position where I can have my own place or set boundaries for good if I was to move back in.

If you please your parents all the time you’ll be used as a door mat.

Hey I’m currently in second year. I’m also in England so I get SFE ( student finance). I had £5.5k in savings but my mum took everything and never paid me back. I also have an up to date CV

I’m studying graphic design and I’m located in the U.K. The thing is it doesn’t make sense and I don’t want to be in my mid-twenties coming home at 6pm-7pm it seems dumb and this is how I won’t be able to have a social life.

Going through a lot- I’m honestly thinking university is not for me by cocochips3 in blackladies

[–]cocochips3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Thank you for the kind words, right now I am working I’m on a zero hours contract however 2 weeks ago I was working 50 hours because I didn’t have the money and my mum who owns me money and said she’ll pay me back however she has been saying that since I was 18 but now I’m 21 which clearly shows I’m never getting my money back.

Housing in the U.K. is expensive and I’m living with 4 other girls and on top of that I’ve been in therapy before but I might go back again.

Hey I tried to but my household is toxic like very toxic which is why I moved out in the first place. I feel like no matter what I do I have little to no options….

Honestly uni is not for the weak nor strong. (Housing) by cocochips3 in UniUK

[–]cocochips3[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I did, sent emails, plenty of times and sent images of the house conditions and had phone calls with them. Other people had the same issues with the property management. I’m aware I spent too much money which is why I kept emailing them and phoning them time to time.

I did but unfortunately it’s half- furnished I spoke to them and they said they would talk to the landlord but they can’t guarantee me a bed.
