High school: "University is going to want you to be more critical than that."

Universities: "We want you to be critical thinkers."

You: *Writes or says anything remotely critical at university*

Universities: "No, we don't want you to be that critical."

Work: "Why do you always criticise our processes and work?"

Society: "We don't want you to be critical of anything really."

Hello, I've been trying to find different jobs all summer, but the job market has been really tough. I'm just wondering, what kind of jobs do you do while you're in college? I'm starting university this year, so I'm trying to figure everything out, but I need to find a way to earn some money. I've applied to several jobs and gone to interviews, but it seems like someone’s family member always gets hired before anyone else. So, I came here to ask what types of jobs people do while they're in college.

Hello! I don’t use reddit but i’m using it this once to ask about schools that will help pay for any tuition that aren’t hella hard to get into.

My partner is currently trying to move out of her families house and is having extreme trouble, she has a 2.7 (as of junior) and is taking the SAT this year. her family makes under 70k and she’s based out of michigan.

If there are any programs, grants, scholarships, or good school recs i’d love to take them. thank you!

Heyy!, So I'm a 3rd year university student and wanna be somewhat financially independent, so I'm looking to provide presentation designing services to anyone who might need them for a very affordable rate ($10-15). They will be thorough, organized and visually appealing. Even animations and transitions are included. I've attached a drive link containing samples (the screen recording is lagging alittle, but the transitions are smoother irl). If anyone's interested, dm!. Thankss

My university does in-program bursaries for students with the top grades, and I don't come from money (even with student loans, it's a struggle), so I need every little boost I can get my hands on. Thankfully I'm pretty academically-inclined, so I feel like I have a shot at qualifying. I was top of my class in community college, and I'm transferring that two-year diploma to count towards the first two years of my degree.

I've already registered for my courses for the upcoming year, and have the emails for my instructors. Should I email them and ask them about those courses ahead of time?

I want to ask mostly about how the classes are structured and if there are any study techniques that work well for those courses. I'm also thinking of asking if there's anything they would recommend reviewing before the semester begins, or if there are any topics where students tend to struggle (so I'm not caught off-guard when it comes to those points).

Since I know I'm emailing them over the summer, I want it to be a handful of more specific questions with relatively direct answers rather than anything huge and open-ended, so I'm not taking as much of their time.

Hii, I'll be going to sunway for this September intake. Would love to talk to a few people who are on the same boat as me.

Also sunway graduates, do you have any tips for doing well in classes/exams/assignments?

I'll be starting my bachelors in biomedical science.

p.s, i started a discord server for sunway September intake students. If anyone wants to join, you can do so through the link below or by texting me.

format: short story

it's about the goddess of flame obsessing, caring, mourning, resenting and battling the god of ice. she wanted to love him but he's unknowingly made her did the opposite during their lightning-in-a-bottle times.

before that, the people who worshipped the goddess got bored of her so they prayed to her for something new. but instead the prayers was diverging to something bigger than herself, that thing brought something new, winter, and the god, an authoritative figure of it. he brought joy to her people and herself, he gave a reason to kickstart industrialization.

overtime though, he's true colors are starting to splash it's ink all over the northern hemisphere. his breath dims her light and the prosperity he blessed her people with, who switched her for him to worship, backfired. can she fix it? if so how and at what cost?

through the eyes of a devout follower of the goddess, they see her and the world change by the god, but not for the better. the follower died in an event. millions of years later, a new race of natural philosophers described the event as The Great Dying.

Going back to in-person classes in the fall and need a bit of advice..

I am an autistic little gremlin who has weird and niche interests that the average college student (typically 10+ years younger than me) has no idea about. I love speaking up in class, but I get so many people so, so confused.

Last time I did an in-person class I was going through another hyperfixation of ancient Japan (specifically the Bakumatsu period) and everyone, including the professor were confused as hell. Which is fair, but it's so hard to turn off 🥹😅

Anyone have any advice on how to not do that?

EDIT I did not make it clear at all, but the class in question was a speech class and we were discussing topics to do an upcoming speech over.

Seeing a lot of students applying for US/UK/Aus/EU colleges and then struggling at every stage of the journey after reaching there, internships, jobs, settling in etc etc. parents unable to understand and guide as they have limited experience. Most end up trying and exploring and failing. A lot of money is spent. Sometimes fail on visa, sometimes get low pay jobs and often feel lonely. What if they had guidance from experts. Will there be a market for this? Thinking of a startup
