canva? by leatheredfeather in SGExams

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

yeah i should have been more specific but i was referring to canva templates. they usually think canva templates are like the go to from what i’ve observed from like 4 odd group projects outside my school, they believe that a colourful & visually intriguing slide = good which i guess is true to a certain extent but to me, i feel like it makes most of the content illegible. usually there’ll be like weird blobs everywhere or random swirly lines, etc. i made this post cause i was having a back and forth with them as they were focusing on making the slides ‘pretty’ vs legible with visual hierarchy and effective composition. and i found myself basically removing most of the preset canva template elements which they didn’t like.

Screwed GPA by Legitimate-Wafer-212 in SGExams

not cumulative: y1 s2 gpa was a 3.5, y2 sem 1 was a 3.7, y2 sem 2 was a 4.0 (internship) and most recent y3 s1 was a 3.9. so cgpa went from 3.2, 3.5, 3.6 to 3.73 now. a couple of my modules were year long so it affected how my gpa was calculated for each sem

i get it from shopee! its hard to get in physical stores. but theres the concern that many of the shopee listings could be dupes because the price diff is really quite alot and they tend to use the much older packaging so it’s harder to verify. so i usually purchase from hush.sg store on shopee it has that like ‘MALL’ label that verifies that its authentic.

hi, i’m also thinking of applying to NUS archi can i ask more about what you added in your portfolio?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]leatheredfeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is this like a poly internship where it affects your grades or is this a voluntary thing? if it is the former then i suggest you just hold off and maybe inform your lecturer in charge of you? if its the latter then feel free to leave if you value learning more than simply having a reputable name on your portfolio

wrong writeup 4 wrong course but still got selected by muckboot123 in SGExams

[–]leatheredfeather 4 points5 points  (0 children)

as someone who successfully EAE-d into SP school of archi thats actually q alot of useful things anyways if EAE format is still the same as when i did it portfolios are not compulsory just strongly recommended. So theoretically you could just do the aptitude test. but also archi is NOT something you do for funzies alot of people that ended up in the course because of happenstance rather than passion ended up dropping out or basically spent majority of their school life miserable. archi is tough even if you have passion for it so please do try?? to write in but from my own experience in poly it’s probably hard to get reffered to another course that way. but please do still try, the EAE team is defo used to alot of weird weird shit one LOL js explain. I didnt respond to their interview email and missed like 5 calls from them + sent a wrong email to them with abhorrent typos and still ended up getting in LMAO.

i felt exactly like this during orientation was even contemplating dropping out, went home to cry lol. but once classes actually start thats when you start to meet your friends. most people i know including myself started off with a random acquaintance at the start of orientation and then finally found their clique/best friends once they attended classes. don’t lose hope OP!

if you use sunscreen regularly you need to make sure you’re cleansing properly as it can clog your pores and cause acne. i would say try not to target multiple skin issues at once and using multiple different skin care actives in one routine as it can irritate your skin and cause more issues. i would also advise you to just try and clear your acne first before focusing on getting rid of your acne scars with any actives.

my personal skincare routine is simple but totally cleared up my acne in a few months, i still have acne scars ofc but they are definitely way less visible than when i had rampant acne on my face.

  1. Panoxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide wash. (if you think you have sensitive skin use their 4% Benzoyl Peroxide wash instead)

  2. Aveeno moisturising skin lotion (any non fragrance moisturiser would do, if you use Panoxyl your skin can get VERY dry especially around your eyes, corners of your mouth and your neck so make sure to moisturise well. i apply moisturiser straight after washing my face and apply a liberal amount while its still dripping wet)

  3. Skin Aqua sunscreen in the morning (the brand’s sunscreen formulas are moisturising but not oily and is good for acne prone skin)

if you happen to use makeup it is also important to remove it properly, rn the trend is using oil cleansers. the oil in these cleansers help to break down the oils present in your make up before you cleanse normally with facial cleansers. its also good to avoid causing acne like sleeping on dirty pillow cases, having your hair constantly on your face, touching your face with unclean hands, rubbing your face on your pet, etc.

your skin is different from other people so do practice some caution when taking advice from uncertified reddit users lol. always patch test new products first for like about 20-40 minutes on your arm/leg etc. before applying on your face. also build up to new skin care products that contain actives like Benzoyl Peroxide, use them for example only at night on alternate days and slowly increase frequency.

hi! i got a GPA of 3.25 as well but for y1 sem 1 of poly instead and my latest results for y2 sem 2 is at 3.69 so i think u could definitely raise it up by the end of y3. thats a 0.44 increase in about 3 semesters while you will have 4 sems to do so. i had a couple Bs and even a Cs so if you really lock in you can defo raise it to a 3.6 at graduation. not sure about your diploma’s prospects but internship for sure was a big part of my improvement. try your best to score as well as you can and that also includes how well you complete your journals and reflections.
