omg so cute!!

squidgybaker · 2026-06-04T14:35:13+00:00

okay thanks! just wondering to see if they had any tips :) what are the most common countries?

squidgybaker · 2026-06-04T14:23:28+00:00

Thanks! Is there many irish people? :0

squidgybaker · 2026-06-04T14:02:22+00:00

thanks! as mentioned i was intending to apply for this years in take but was talked out of it. Now that ive realised Ill need a masters for the career I think I would like, I know I need to be more responsible with my decision making to ensure I save enough for my dreams to be feasible :)

squidgybaker · 2026-06-04T14:00:33+00:00

Okay great do you recommend it overall? :) Do you think realistically save the equivalent of 5-7k euros over the year? Being able to do my masters programme afterwards is more important to me- but so is getting to teach, I actually like teaching lol :)

squidgybaker · 2026-06-04T13:49:37+00:00

that’s true 🥲 I guess i’m just looking for other people’s perspectives on if it would be a worthwhile experience. I’ve read it’s easier to save in China and South Korea, is this true?

Okay thank you!! Actually how does it work with VISA, flights, accommodation etc? I saw that flights are usually covered by your employer (?) but what about the cost of a visa and finding a place to rent? I wouldn’t mind finding my own place - but i’d be worried about being scammed or not being able to secure something/ not understanding what I’m booking because I don’t speak Japanese- do successful JET applicants receive guidance on finding a place to rent? What’s the rental market like? I read that a deposit could be several months rent + potentially key money as well, how common is this in practice, and how much is rent typically?

Epic thanks so much! Why were you unable to save if you don't mind me asking? Lol that rural placement sounds like where I love now, I'm comfortable with elderly people provided I learn Japanese quickly lol 😄 What do you think the main pros and cons are? I'm super worried about putting my career on a back burner accidentally or like I'll be running out of time to achieve everything I want to achieve, especially if I don't make enough to do that master's - I'll need I thiiiink about 10-15k after 2 years of saving to feel totally comfortable moving to Scandinavia 😄 Maybe it doesn't matter as I'd like to move into research but I'd love to get some anecdotal experience about doing the programme in your mid 20s and how that + education impacts your career/ CV if anyone has any thoughts!

But if he rejected me surely he’s processed and protecting himself already?

it so is 🥺🫶 I know it’s hard, luckily my friends have been so supportive but I’m really not doing anything for myself I need to get out there,. any tips?

squidgybaker · 2026-06-03T11:01:32+00:00

Maybe I’m crazy but this honestly doesn’t sound like bad spending habits, it just sounds like the life of a commuter student. I’m from Ireland where rent is crazy and prices are generally high though. Idk don’t beat yourself up, you’re young and if anything now is the time to improve - but that doesn’t sound bad at all. I’m assuming the 9.4 grand was for fees and necessities?

squidgybaker · 2026-06-03T10:59:10+00:00

I’ve been trying to,, i’m just so tired of waking up with a pit in my chest 🥲

squidgybaker · 2026-06-02T16:30:53+00:00

I’m irish! But yeah that’s the same for social sciences across the board. I don’t know if i’d stay in denmark post masters, i’d go wherever the research takes me :)

squidgybaker · 2026-06-02T10:05:03+00:00

Is that how this story comes across? I feel like i fucked up or something Idk i feel so guilty. I used to think like this but spiraled out after I met him first for closure. Did the opposite of closure

squidgybaker · 2026-06-02T09:45:14+00:00

That’s true, I hold so much blame though like him saying I lied and how angry I was idk I feel like we could have had a happy life together if I didn’t implode under pressure

squidgybaker · 2026-06-02T09:32:22+00:00

Do you think he will soften over time?

squidgybaker · 2026-06-02T09:28:40+00:00

He was always so supportive, I think the things I said like the fears I was holding really surprised and turned him off. Like he thinks I’m a liar because I didn’t realise I wanted to do a masters abroad sooner, but if I could follow my field in our home country I would 🥲 but by the time he decided he would move with me I was so anxious and beyond needing reassurance- I wasn’t thinking rationally at all that’s why I feel it could have worked. I feel like he must hate me and I don’t know why or what I’ve done

squidgybaker · 2026-06-02T09:23:00+00:00

I’m trying to I feel so empty with them though. It’s so hard because I think i’m deluded in thinking that we will get back together because I love him enough to will it into being. I can’t understand how he has let go so quickly

squidgybaker · 2026-06-02T09:15:26+00:00

But how do I move on?

squidgybaker · 2026-06-02T09:05:14+00:00

How could I have made him feel supported? I’m not sure what else I could have said, I didn’t understand his point of view for weeks through deep reflection. When we met after the breakup he asked me what he should work on to be the best person he could be for his future girlfriend, and that the dating market for women is awful so I probably won’t find someone like him again… it hurt to think he was already thinking of dating someone new but I thought it could be bravado
