πso sad man but gonna tell ya secret ||dont take your terms exams veryyy seriously just relax and do your best I am sure your hardwork wont fail you π||
im smartwork typa person
Thatβs good ig π
indirectly im lazy lol
Just donβt stress believe in your self π₯π₯
Welcome to the club young one
dw we get higher grades 
hopefully
damn how Oct Nov 2022 timetable for like for most people but the exams were like 2 hours long instead of 4 π Think of it as a good practice for Cambridge for you then
AS is so stressful
imagine a2 π
Amatures
Amatures
dont make me unleash my blackmail
Why are you like this
Fine
AL is quite hard ngl, be it AS or A2
no it is the easiest thing ever 
Yes give them hope
give them hope
its ez
i get good grades
on most of my quizzes , tests , and mid terms
80s or 90s
πΉ
What I got throughout AS too π
But I messed up my exam badly
School during IGCSE:
Six
Cool
Hours
Of
My
Life
School in a levels:
Six
Cruel
Hours
Of
My
Life
Words that need to be pinned
Actually
O level efforts + consistency to get A* = A level effort to get A*
Y'all were just lazy af in o levels
And did half assed work
Combined w gaming, TikTok and the garbage
So obviously the same won't work in A levels
Nahh
Even for a diligent kid
AL is a step up from OL
You have to put in more effort
Significantly more
consistency should remain same la?
Yes la bro
more hardwork is required
Yeah it's a step up but most people from o levels and Igcse are used to the laid back approach and never really put in any effort in the first place so AL seems like it needs something like 12 hours / day of studying to ace. When in reality it's just 3-4 hours of consistent studying everyday.
Key word is consistent because no one is consistent. Istg y'all just study 8 hours one day and then take 3 days worth of breaks πthen complain ab how hard Cambridge is
The recipe for an A* is the same for O level or whatever you're studying
Consistent studying + Deliberate Past paper practice
By deliberate, I mean mindful of the mistakes you make by revising them
Nope, same "hard work" just more discipline
And final advice, don't take the advice and opinions of people with bad grades (B, C, D etc). Nothing against people with those grades btw. But, they don't know what they're doing and will scare you or confuse you about the subjects you're studying and it's "difficulty"
If anyone, ask people with A*s
Not even A's
guys don't be afraid to be frank with me alright?
I just got back to my school since my visa didn't make it for my uni. I came out of that school having completed 4 AS levels all A (Physics, Math, Chemistry, Psychology). I thought that was enough and that I could just go to my uni that didn't require AS levels in the first place. But since I'm back and I'm in danger of falling into a gap year. I checked out other unis to see if I could apply. I realized that there's not really many I could apply to without A-levels. So I deecided to go back to school and get some A-levels. Already being 2 months behind I decided to only take 2 A-levels (Physics and Maths) and another AS level (Computer Science).
Now this isn't 3 A-levels like the standard for most unis and everything I've research thus far says that I'm pretty much screwed and I can't really make it to most unis, especially the prestigious ones. But I'm really aiming high this year and my teachers feel that I could do it. I'm hoping to get a really high grade for my 3 subjects anyway.
Now my questions, with 4 A grades for my AS levels and the hopes that I get 2 A*s with Physics and Maths A-level and another A for my Computer Science AS this year, am I still screwed in terms of getting into prestigious unis cuz I only have 2 A-levels + 5 AS levels, instead of 3 A-levels
@frosty minnow wait a minute
You have 4 AS levels (Math, Physics, Psych, Chem). Each with the grade A.
What year did you do them?
Why are you doing computer science?
When do you plan to take the A Levels?
If you get this grades ,you will be eligible to apply
But a lot, which I mean a lot of things depends on your sop and recommendation letters
He can't lmao
Unis demand 3-5 A-levels
Not AS
π
I'm doing them right now I'm behind but I'm catching up since I'm in Qatar and we got like a 6weeks holiday for hosting the world cup
did them last year I got my grades August 2022
I needed a third subject to be sponsored by my dad's company
since I was already behind school I thought I should just choose another AS level subject since I didn't want to just overwhelm myself being this behind
@mild compass
what's an SOP
statement of purpose
@frosty minnow so you did it May/June 2022 or May/June 2021?
The AS
may june 2022
ohh like your personal statement
yeah I'm not concerned about the gap year anymore
since I decided to do my A-levels
now
I did them because Ididn't want to get a gap year
u need to get gd sat,gd ielts, gd grades, great sop, great recommendations to get into top uni
but I'm concerned that my A-levels won't get me anywhere anyway since these unis require at least 3 A-levels
and I only have 2
but I'd get 5 AS
@mild compass bro is it a gap year if he does AS in may/June 2022 and A2 in May/June 2023
oh my days
how do I know if my recommendations are good enough
depends on counsellors
Cus now I'm confused
π
no,ig
I was about to cry bro
oh okay now I get it
she applied after as
but got rejected
I was gonna leave, I'm supposed to be in Uni by now
nah it's the visa
that got rejected
the uni I was in didn't need A-levels
Anyway you can do physics, math and chem for A2 and then apply for Uni @frosty minnow
I postponed those now
yeahh but I didn't pick chem
AS comp sci is useless
which uni?
that's the problem I'm in
What uni
And why did your visa get rejected
What's your nationality
Budapest University of technology and economics
Budapest
didn't get rejected I just had problems
Hungary
the uni was done
and they only got me to do the entrance exam in like may
and stuff
and then I got IELTs done and all that
but then I couldn't startwith the visa process since I don't have a nacceptance letter
it took them absolutely ages
You do realize, that immigration has nothing to do w uni and they usually reject on basis of nationality+ other factors
Ohhh
but then we had to go to philippines
and I still haven't started the process
so we thought of doing it inphilippines
we were contacting them
So you had the offer letter?
since I couldn't fill all the requirements since I didn't study there
not even that
So basically
they took so long to respond
The uni never accepted you
and I kept emailing
π
the uni does not have a website ππ
But they didn't since no offer letter
πππππ
My guy you gotta apply to real universities @frosty minnow
but they were months too late
Not bogus institutions
if a uni does not have a website
Bro, the university isn't even real
Wdym
don't fucking apply to it
No website β fake af
How tf did you apply in the first place bro
@frosty minnow how much did they charge u to apply?
but he's there now
I got confused
I forgot
Bye
it was 90 dollars or something
π
How did you even apply
When they don't have
A website
π
90 dollars
Bro your friend probably got by through another uni and lied to you
idk man they do have one it's just in a diff language
and their website ain't the best
to a uni with no website
Send a link
It's a scam
Afaik unis don't accept AS only
It's always AS + A2
π
harvard takes 75 dollars
my brother got scammed
Ong
His friend got into another uni and lied to him
Bro that link
Is more sus
Than a rickroll
wait
this is a diff uni
so unis in hungary
use Neptun
as like
idk these student options site
where you choose your subs
you got scammed
what about this
anyway like
so my situation is that I don't have a third A2 subject π
It's a fake university @frosty minnow
but don't tell this to your parents until u get into it
and I will try to get 2 A*s and another A
apply to real uni
that have social medias
how tf did u get this name even?
Bro why don't you just Google if they exist
πππ
I have read from people on reddit that the uni is not good at all
Bro even rn you're making bad decisions
Comp sci AS is worthless
why did u apply then?
not really
Focus on Chemistry, Physics and Math
I have cs
You already have an AS in them
I really wish I chose chemistry
But he's getting into economics
Not CS
chemistry,u need basics
And for CS he only needs Physics and Math
which is even worse
sorry I didn't get my story straight ππ
π
as comp sci is useless?
bro im retaking as unnecessarily then πππ
wait nvm as grade is counted towards a2
Only A2 + AS grades matter
okay guys so look
I'm planning to do Mechanical Engineering
I was gonna do it in Hungary
I applied there since I heard it's really cheap over there, the tuition fee is like 30k QR or around 9-10k dollars a year which is insanely good
my parents encourage me to try out other unis anyway but we're concerned that my application will just get rejected since I didn't choose a third A-llevel and yeah , I chose a useless one, but I did it because having 2 A2s was already a lot for me since I got back to school in Novemeber when school started in August
I was wondering if having 4 max grade AS levels + 1 more AS level + 2 A2 levels hopefully in their max grades will be fine
yup
CS is out of the way
yeah that was a really bad decision
10k as international student?
mhmm
Iceland has free tuition
π
WHAT
FOR INTNL ALSO?
DAWG
Y'all wild
IM CHECKING THEM RN

Only public unis btw
Don't apply to the private mfs
they ass af
If you do A2 for Math, Physics and Chemistry. You can apply to virtually any university
You had chemistry in AS bro
boi wat the hell boi π
u need to pay reg fee of 600 dollars
wdym
The submissions haven't even started @frosty minnow
THAT IS LOW
Per year
AND IT IS PER YEAR
THIS MF
just saying that nothing is free
Bro do you know an icelandic janitor makes 5000$ a month
okay I will apply
wait are u serious?
A job there will make you rich
They have high quality everything
Salaries high af too
π
the way it works in my school is you pick 3 subjects in the beginning of the year, they;ll teach you, and youo can change subjects within a 2 week grace period and after that you can't change anymore
I picked CS for school
bro which year are u applying to?
I'm applying to Switzerland
iceland is top priority now
zurich is germany la?
my brother got money
It's Switzerland
It's free for EU citizens π₯Άπ―
it's probably because the living expenses are really high
I think
Yes
your eu resident?
lucky mf
you have cheap tuttions all over eu then ig
then why not scandinavia?
ahh
Idk ab Iceland but Norway has weird ahh education
Apply as a private candidate
iceland ranking of unis is around 400-600
Better than paying 15k euros a year
is that good?
Idk I guess so
Although personally top 100 is better
ight imma research first then ask questions
EU pr is generally
Hard
π
Plus Iceland has almost no immigration
No one goes there
Or knows ab it
Learn the language+ get a job and you get it in 4 years ez pz
fuck sake
Bro Germany is worse π
And uglier as a country
Only Canada does the 1-2 year pr shit
No1 else
okay I will talk to my counsellor abt this
problem with iceland is they require u to know their language for almost any undergrad field
which is nearly impossible to learn without going there bec who even speaks icelandic outside of iceland
secondly their living expenses are sky high
Counter that mf w the bachelor's in icelandic
so unless u have great fund or find a job there its tough
Requiring only English IELTS
It's a grind
im predicted an 8.5 from ielts
Bro
Bachelors in icelandic just needs English
- obviously high school diploma or A levels
Bro it's on their website
2 AL?
what grade they need from AL
tell me that
Anything over C
They're pre desperate lmao
Icelandic is a dying language
The country has near 0 immigration
They'll 100% take in your Turkish genes to diversify their homogeneous gene pool
C sounds good π
bet
What about this D
i sit ielts exam in Jan
Mashallah
Alhamdulilah
ez
Admission in Winter

Inshallah
ππ
mashallah nice life path
Real

How do I get myself to focus while studying?
Even when I've actually sat down to read, my mind just wanders elsewhere
put away phones and tablets and any distractions and start implementing small chunks of time where u study and focus at ur task. So lets say u set a goal of reading a certain topic in a book. U say to urself ok for the next 30 mins i shall only read this and do nothing else just focus on this , then take a 5-10 min break. Keep repeating this and each day try to add 5-10 mins more until u reach like 50mins or something. Ideally uβd wanna study 50mins then 10min break any more i feel like is overkill
u need to have some level of willpower and discipline tho
cant just be like βoh i wanna study more but its too much workβ nah u need to want to study more
put up small term achievable goals to boost motivation which in turn boosts focus
Thanks for the help π
Gave +1 rep to Naf#4535
This is what i do: when i get distracted, i remind myself what my goal is. I would have pasted a sticky note somewhere where it is visible. There are days where i can't bring myself to concentrate so, i have to push myself to study wether i like it or not. I keep my phone on silent, sometimes listen to songs to keep the pace going when i study(some ppl prefer to listen to songs and some don't. it depends) I study in study servers so i can find some motivation in studying by seeing others study(some ppl prefer some company) or i have some study with me live yt videos going in the background in case no one joins me to study.
I hope this helps youπ
I'll keep that in mind, thanks

He was screaming in Hebrew
what, you think i cant learn english after so many years?
fake you would've corrected Jamal saying ur first language was Hebrew by saying my first language was Aramaic but u didn't.
my name, you cant even vent around here
Yes

aight, i'm done venting. peace
go binge a show or play a video game
no point in ripping urself apart
nothing u can do now will change these results
I need to pass
Not again...
dawg maybe u passed maybe u didnt , cant know till tmr. You either passed and then go celebrate that or if u didnt then u buckle down and study twice as much or 5 times as much and get it done next time tf u panicking about
ur getting ur A Level results not getting diagnosed with a chronic disease
Dawg
This is my 3rd time writing this exam
My parents deadass almost murdered me.
I've told about it.
In my eyes, either I'm dead or alive
idk you nor your parents man but as a person who has repeated AS twice or so heres the thing
it doesnt matter if u fall or not , it matters how u get back up
if ur never improving after each repeat
then yeah they should be mad at u
but if ur improving , u will eventually crack the code and get there
then be proud of that mate
i hope we both did better than last time
and we prolly did
but even if not , its damn okay we gave our best , if it wasnt enough we will go and grind again and do even better until it is enough
hopefully neither of us will need to but my point is
this aint end of the world
u will be okay
thank you
π
i dont know what to do , i barely got passing grade but managed to get into the best university in my country in a field i have zero interest in because as the eldest son in the family i have the responsibility of taking care of the family (i have to due to personal reasons ), i took a gapyear after my alevels and worked on myself , (thats not the issue) the issue is my sister who is a year younger than me has decided to apply to a medical university which is in a different city where im applying to and now my parents expect me to decline the university offer and find a university in the same city where my sister is trying to apply to . i agree with my parents reasoning and their experience that it would be cheaper for us to live together and i can cook food and in turn she can do chores also its better to have a male presence in the house (the city is known to be unsafe).
i dont know what to do , i dont think i can squeeze into another university this late with my grades .
i cant talk against this with my parents and i know they wont agree to let me stay
didnt u already get accepted in a uni and ur sister hasnt got accepted yet? It doesnt make sense for u to leave this and apply in the other city since ur already accepted here and ur sister is just applying. Why not convince ur sister to apply in the same city as the uni u got admission in
because man u got blessed with a rlly good uni now it would not make sense to decline it and just cross ur fingers that ull get admission in the city ur sister wants to apply.
What if u dont get admission (which is absurd since u got admitted in the best uni of ur country but since u mentioned u got passing grade) then it will be a loss loss situation since now
1- ur sister will have to go study alone which is not what ur parents want
2- u cant even go back to ur old uni since u rejected it
or what u can do is dont reject this one and try to see first if u have a chance for acceptance in that city, once u have some affirmation about that then reject this uni
if your sister has only just applied then she can also apply in the same city as your uni no?
exactly like ben got the admission , the sister didnt
so it makes sense for the sister to apply in bens city
she doesnt want to , she has her life plan sorted out , she has amazing grades and she will 100% get into her desired university , me on the other hand has nothing , im in a course i have no interest in just because i have to provide due to my father's health issue
yeah i really think i got in because of a fluke , im just giving the enterance exam of the uni in my sister's city on a whim if i get in then its okay if not i dont know
but i thought you said you got into the best uni in the country? she doesnt want to go there?
you havent given the entrance exam yet? that means its not fully confirmed?
i got in the best uni for engineering and she's applying for the best medical uni
how did u get in without the entrance test?
for the univeristy in my sister's city
ah ok
whatever u do dont just reject the uni u already got accepted to
^^
bcoz if u dont get admission anywhere what r u gonna do just sit outside ur sisters uni
u need to go somewhere
arent there uni accomodations which are safer than outside flats for her?
yea the exam is on 16th ja
Hmm
i told them that but my parents are over protective
she wouldnt be the first or the only girl to go alone
not everyone has a male relative to accompany them
i dont know how unsafe it is so im trying to refrain from commenting tbh
honestly idk how her uni works but
even if u go and live with her in a flat
isnt it more safer for her to just live in hostels or stuff right beside her own uni
no need to go far
bcoz lets say if ur in ur own uni and she is coming back to her flat alone which is not right beside her uni
ive tried convincing them with everything. there are some things that are personal that i cant say , my parents reasoning is very valid
im assuming they do only medicine so you wouldnt even be going to the same uni
so you wont be coming back home together either
yep , every uni in that city is rnext to each other like a industrial block
ah
my parents have a counter to every statement i make
they have a counter to you potentially not getting another uni?
yeah they expect me that i can get into a different university , but im not very confident that i would , thats why im going on a whim if i get in then thats works for everyone , if i dont then i dont know what
when do you need to give your uni decisions by?
because i'd say just put your effort into the entrance exam, its only a couple of days away
one thing at a time?
Lets say if u get the admission then well and good u can go
And if u dont well u cant rlly do anything u gotta go to a different city
the problem is if u get the admission and u still wanna go in the uni u first got the admission in so is that the case?
yeah and ur parents may be right about other stuff but dont listen to them on declining the uni u already got an offer from just keep the uni on hold for a bit im pretty sure u can do that in most places idk about u tho
im on a deadline the UNI 1 expects me to write them back before feb (i have asked them to extend the date due to my circumstance) , i hope everything works out
when do the results of the entrance exam come out?
end of January and the second uni enterance exam is on 16th
and their result is first week of feb
I hope so too goodluck man u seem very understanding of ur family
just ask them for a week extension
if there are any staff who are understanding
yeah i emailed them , i hope they are understanding
fingers crossed for you man
call them as well maybe
first thing in the morning
praying for things to work out for you π€
π
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
i feel u
LMAO WW
thought i did really well on a practice d-sat, got a 1190. spent so goddamn long studying for it. worrying i'll screw up the actual one when i take it next winter. f
I'm sure some people will give you practical advice but the most I can say is that every seconds worth of preparation is usually rewarded in the end result, and I'm aware that a shit ton of people might say "just stay positive" but the truth is that sometimes it's okay to yknow breakdown. Have a good cry, but just sit back down and do it. Don't think about the end for now and just prepare; dont overwork yourself though. Balance is key, you'll be okay <3
parents and their indecisiveness (mic drop)
their*
Practical advice (trigger warning):
||Worrying is a pointless waste of mental energy. Stop overthinking, it only makes things worse.
I don't know how you studied, your method, the hours you put in, how much focus you had etc.
Only you know that, so figure that out.
Be honest with yourself and figure out what you did wrong. You don't have to be certain about every move, just pin down what you think contributed to you not achieving your desired grades.
Once you have it laid out, the mistakes you made, the next part is easy. Don't repeat them again, learn from your mistakes.
Now, the rest is easy really. You've already taken a test so you have a feel for the examination therefore you know how to prepare and all that technical stuff.
I'll leave that to you, there's loads of guides on how to get high scores on SAT's.
However, my final word of advice, which is very important and helped me achieve basically all of my top grades ever.
Develop your focus
Take 5-15 minute strict breaks after each study session of 1hour - 30 minutes with NO distractions (no phones, no screentime basically and don't try to use your brain (e.g. playing a round of chess))
Those habits alone will get you top grades. ||
The result right?
i know ill try and avoid thinking about it
Yeaah just keep praying
XD thanks

AHHH
I'm just scared my parents are gonna go bankrupt soon because they are both retired (technically my dad is but he got called back to work since the company is doing badly) I have college which is starting soon I tried my best to get a full scholarship but that didn't work my brother did really badly in his IGCSE (were twins btw) and he just also wastes money and doesn't care im just scared my parents won't have enough money for my courses also I'm scared I can't hang out with my friends too i just hate having the feeling that other kids parents are younger and more wealthy than me and they are all able to get what they want I'm not saying I'm not grateful but I just hate seeing other people getting what they want
Your parents might have had things set out in terms of fixed investments that you don't know about. It's worth talking to them, even for your own sake to be more financially literate for yourself
You can start doing small things that will make a dent in your future at least, like putting small amounts of investments into mutual funds because compounding over time is the biggest strength, not how much you put in
If u both r in international school ald that means your parent is wealthy enough ald isnt it, all my classmates are rich people, just sayin
Middle class
I am pretty sure you parents care about you and your brother and have probably saved up money for your future and are not showing you because they are retired right they might have thought of you guys for sure so donβt worry but if you are still worrying just ask your parents about this since itβs your right to know
How can I manage my Chemistry AS Level π
when I have less knowledge
Study to get more knowledge
Delete all the games on yo phone
sleep 2 mins a day
π€£
- Delete discord
- Delete PUBG (very important)
- Actually just throwaway your phone (not kidding)
- Grab a past paper and attempt it, even if you don't know the syllabus. Grade yourself and then list out the chapters and topics you do not understand or have no knowledge of.
- Learn the listed topics to the best of your ability
- Forget about time. Don't count the days until your exams. It will only stress and overwhelm you.
- Fuck the people above, sleep 8-9 hours a day no matter what and do not use your phone 2 hours before sleeping.
- you can do it, don't doubt yourself.

im drowning
you will drown if you start thinking like this in the first 4 days
no one understands everything in a few days
it gets easier with practice
The jump from IGs to A Levels is very huge as the subjects you're studying become more condensed, but don't worry too much about it, just make sure your notes are up to date every week and you'll be fine. For content heavy subjects, such as bio, it's super important to revise throughout the year, since there's a lot to remember!
Yeah that happens. The jump is big but since u got 6 A* in IGCSE, you definitely have the opportunity to get all A* and As in A levels. The first few days can be hard but dw because at this point, most schools start to make a transition to IG and AS and it only lasts like around a week or so. Just keep working hard and eventually u will overcome the jump before the final exams happens.
i didn't overcome the jump 
IG to AS is not overwhelming
How much of A2 did u use for your degree
Depends what you mean by useπ
Like not understanding calculus and going in to most stem degrees will royally fuck you over
You don't need to remember every exact method
But you do need to understand the essence because they take off running
Ah
Thanks
Gave +1 rep to Aishwarya#7376
what if ur alone and broke
Depends on whi you ask
its getting a bit better.. im trying to be optimistic
Hang in.there :)))
WOW...
ur profile pic scares me more than them getting 6A*s and still thinking that they're dumb
how many subjects do u study?
that look like me waking up after a rave night
lmaooooo
not so much
what's wrong with the damn government in my area?
"mandatory militarization of students will help solve the mental health crisis that they are experiencing rn because it would increase their so-called frustration tolerance"
this makes me lose even more sympathy towards the 31 million mudpeople who were blind enough to fall for disinformation CAUSE IT WAS THEIR FUCKING CHOICE TO VOTE THE WRONG PERSON FOR THE SAKE OF FALSE FUCKING HOPE, ONLY FOR THE OPPOSITE TO OCCUR NOW AND A SINGLE FUCKING "GOLDEN AGE" THAT WAS MORE LIKE A FUCKING DICTATORSHIP THAN THE TEXTBOOK DEFINITION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM
what frustration tolerance are these dumb fucking senators talkign about?
hopefully, the youth would be able to get their thoughts heard
i do not blame the government for making things hell in my country, but the supporters' fucking egos which are as inflated as a blimp.
where r u from
philippines
well, you know the idea.
people believing tiktok and facebook as a good source of news
falling blind for clearly biased "news reels"
claiming that robredo is satan
and marcos is jesus
or something
promising for unity
when in reality, there is no such thing as unity
you should see our politics 
how so?
not only do i hate the marcos supporters but i began losing trust to old people, the most hostile and dull supporters, even my grandmother
after knowing that their experiences may in fact be fabricated in their heads
I just hate seeing people with young parents and who have alot of money while mine are old
at least you have parents
^
with old parents, they come with values and wisdom
with that wisdom, you could prolly make money when you listen to em correctly
???
just be happy the guy who had 0 drug tolerance policy went
lots of non users were being rounded up and shot
There are more ppl than you think who don't have parents
So be grateful
Instead of complaining
i honestly prefer him over the son of a dictator that made the philippines poor
ok ill tell you what
become a doctor
or a petroleum engineer
and come to saudi arabia
If you think the philipines is so hopeless then dont hope for a future their look outside
ayt. i'd be aiming to work at japan in the future
working for toyota as a marketing manager at the highest
or migrate to the UAE
Volatile oil prices π¦
Yea true
Eh it's not a dick measuring contest
One person's issues don't become nullified because someone else's issues are worse
it's a matter of gratitude and seeing the positive in every situation. Because whether you like it or not, complaining never fixed anything. You cannot control anything except your mind. So why bother whining about stuff you wish you had and/or stuff you wish you didn't have.
Plus it's insulting to people who have worse off issues
A lot of people don't really get the fact that they can't change a lot of the stuff in their life apart from how they act and react. Which ironically determines 70% of where they are headed in the future. (30% is external uncontrollable forces)
Having a positive perspective instead of a negative one changes everything
βοΈ
Learnt this the hard way
True
If you are comparing yourselves to other ppl then compare in a positive way
Instead of comparing to ppl with 'young' and 'rich' parents, compare to ppl who have a single parent or no parents at all
And see then
And like age doesn't say anything
If anything, older parents have more real life experience
So they can do better parenting
"Look at those who are below you, and do not look at those who are above you, for that is more likely to hold you back from belittling the blessings that God has bestowed upon you." ~ Prophet Muhammad SAW ||Source: Sunan Ibn Majah 4142||
Amazing quote
Everything has upsides and downsides tho, we can't ignore one part of something and appreciate or complain about the other part. For example this guy's issue is that his parents are old, so he feels he can't relate to them or have a fun relationship with them because of the age gap. The positive side would be like you said that they have more experience so they might be able to parent better.
(I got a call that's why I took so long sorry)
"Can't relate to them"
WTF
They are his parents
How can he not relate to them
Makes no sense
Bro not every kid has a good relationship and can talk to their parents lmao
And age gaps can make that significantly worse
I respect your opinion eminem but I disagree
No coz then the parents are immature and stupid, that's my point, there's positives and negatives to everything
And you have to look at both
well unfortunately, he can't reverse their age or bring back their youthful energy. The best approach he can take is to accept his situation as it is, reap the benefits of having old parents and maybe channel his frustration into something more healthy for him like maybe going out to social gatherings and meeting new people.
You're suggesting to accept the positive but dwell on the negative
which is pointless
Exactly
In a lot of cases you look at both sides and appreciate the positives and improve on the negatives
But not in this case
As jamal said can't reverse age
yeah well the renowned approach to living life according to many philosophers is to focus on what you can control
Eminem's point is fair but not in this context
this boils down to controlling what is in your reach
which is βοΈ
nonetheless, it's fine to feel a bit pissed off about it i guess
but it's really a waste of energy
Feeling sad is inevitable
It's not like the guy who made the comment doesn't know that he can't reverse his parent's age, it's just that he felt the need to make a comment about it coz that's his way of letting it out or whatever
Ig we should not assume what he meant and let him reply?
All we want is the guy to feel better
Yeah exactly that's pretty much what this channel, you feel a certain way about some issue in your life and you hope talking about it makes you feel better
Yep
Let's wait for him to read all this and reply then
we're debating the meaning of life based on one lad's single message π
welcome 2 znotes
Ahahhahahah
there should be an advice channel
i think i'd fit in there
That's the fun part of debates
a lot better
And if we want him to feel better, telling him "at least you have parents" isnt the best way of going about it
Ong bro
One small thing can lead to a long debate
And it allows you to use your past experiences
At least it's a fun debate with people able to critically think
twitter killed jamal
For this kinda shit
Alright nice discussion, I'm going to the airport now, I'll be back to Sydney on Thursday
bro is going back to having a fucked up timezone
Debates also teach you to respect other ppl's opinion and think critically both of which are important life skills
Yes but at least now I can go back to having 1st world problems rather than 3rd world problems ππ
in my experience no
to develop respect for others, you first must be disrespected beyond measure
Depends on who the debate is with
True
but in general yes, debates are very fruitful at times
i will never go back to twitter
worst place on the internet
discord feels tame compared to twitter
Back to "why is coffee so expensive on campus" rather than "holy fuck rickshaws are so expensive how do I go anywhere"
We should have a longer debate on actual life stuff
Thank fuck
richshaws are expensive?
ong
They are now
They doubled in price in the 10 months I've been in Sydney
Inflation
best time to buy a bike
and use trains for long journeys
cars are overrated luxuries that we do not really need
Hmm
if you think about it, most places we go, can be taken by bikes, metros or even just walking.
- the traffic in cities
ong
Especially at peak times
leading to lots of wasted time
compared to if you'd just walk or bike
all i see are benefits
time saved + exercise + fresh air
Well unless you're like 5 ppl
also COSTS and MONEY saved
π
Bro even in Sydney inflation is fucked
We're venting about inflation
i mean if you have a family sure that's better
but as a single person or a couple
you do not need a car
Some house's rent increased from 675 a week to 850 a week in the span of 5 days
675 what
AUD
Aussie dollars
Same here
That's expensive
We don't have an energy crisis tho thank fuck
π§βπΎ
Not yet at least
nah can't be
America would be on our ass more if we did
true true
SEA is fine for now
Electricity prices went up but that's it
you'd have more freedom and democracy
yeah
i've been hearing SEA is doing well
salaries were adjusted w inflation
so it's normal relatively
Well in reality oil prices went up so transportation prices went up too
My youth allowance was adjusted for inflation
Including public transport
all thanks to Ukraine & Russia π
Putin
time for Putout
Idts this is venting anymore
holup let me make it
venting
fuck eastern europe
and all the people that live there
savages
skill issue
fuck Ukraine and Russia

How do i not not be racist
im so racist oml
π
Lmfao
try to look at the positives
donβt compare yourself to people who arenβt racist
compare yourself to people who are extremely racist
Lol
true true
at least i'm not an austrian-born, german chancellor between the years 1939 and 1945
π― π π πͺ
Same in NZ and itβs probably gonna increase because they keep rising the minimum wage by a dollar each year.
@mild compass unrelated but what papers/components are u giving for maths in MayJune 2023 series?
Pure 1 / Mech
Oh ok. I am doing stats so we only have pure maths in common.
Ikr
you wouldnβt be saying that if you did our mech exam
Oct Nov 2021, a day put in the history books
i was there on that dark day π
when the fire nation attacked
Lol Oct Nov 2022 is actually another day put in the history books
I think literally every series except March 2021, June 2022 in the last two years is a day put in the history books
no bro
that fucking crocodile
or alligator
fuck that
lol yeah me and some of my friends found an error in the Cambridge mark scheme for that when I did it. I told to my teacher to report it to cambridge and they changed it lol
@unreal shadow did your marks change after that btw
if u did june 2022
the answer for that is actually 65
but the ms said it was 80 lol
my school doesnβt give them
weird
REAL π―
it's okay for actual statistics stuff but in the exam nahhh ima pass on that
yeah same here
exactly π€
Tbh most of the exam doesnβt even have much on statistics itself. Most of the exam is based around probability questions and also permutations and combinations play a major part in an exam too.
still better than our mech
I literally did like 4 papers to study for s1
Yeah honestly ngl it was better than many other papers
Several papers had questions harder than the crocodile one over the last 2-3 years
i dont understand adults sometimes
i call my dad and im like "hey dad are u busy?" and he says no , then i start talking about something like result of a test or something that happened or smth i need advice on and he cuts me in the middle and then goes like "i'll call u in a bit im doing something" like bruh what
gets to the point where i end up forgetting what i was saying
he probably dosent care about the topic youre discussing
well 90% of the time i only call him for important stuff like if i need his help to apply for an exam , or exam results or some financial things so its always important
imo its bec he thinks imma say smth short bec i sometimes just need to remind him smth quick
Eh different ppl have different natures
Maybe he wasn't that busy so he could do a short convo but busy enough to not do a long convo
Dk if that made sense
I rmb dQw4w9WgXcQ venting a lot here and us helping them
wtf
It's a user
Damn
@alpine hatch how are things now
Miley Cyrus - Flowers
Yes but I'm mentally scarred for life hahahha
I will never allow myself to be vulnerable again :)
Dw you'll do good
That past experience will only make you stronger and less vulnerable if anything
nice bio ahaha
haven't chuckled since a week
Don't you look at memes on the internet
That's kinda sad :(
i've seen so many memes atp it ain't even funny anymore for me :((

Nothing was purged here
Nah
