Wow rihinvention! I'd be seething too if I had an ex like that. But he must not have been a great trainer for Ajay
haha nah I'm pretty sure she moved to LA. Besides, it's like 90% diet and 10% exercise. He could have given her the workout of a lifetime and she probably barely burnt off he dessert from the night before. Morbidly obese people are morbidly obese for a reason: what they're eating, how often they're eating and their portion sizes. She's that size because she's eating crap food every half hour to every hour in very large quantities. No amount of personal training (especially when it's like twice a week for an hour each) can work that off.
Woah the thing about moving overseas after finishing your degree to avoid paying for is really interesting... I plan on moving to the US after I finish my degree and staying there, finding work and all. Yas! **** you Uni! Ain't paying for your ********.
Sometimes I really hate Uni tho... like this semester is going to be the PITS. I already have horrible groups for particular assignments, lots of assignments, crappy classes, probably wont make any friends out of them. Fffs
Yep, and it's only if it's domestically earned income. I have 3 cousins who moved overseas (1 to New York, another to Washington and another to London) and none of them have ever paid their HECS back because they've never made a cent above the threshold while living in Australia hahahaha. One works at Ernst & Young as a taxation lawyer, which is HUGE money. He and his wife have American citizenships now and their house in Washington is the biggest mansion you've ever seen. Their home gym and home theatres are a joke.
So to everyone here, if you plan on moving overseas after getting a degree, do it. It's a free degree haha.
Holy ****.
I'd love to move overseas after finishing my psychology degree.
wait so can someone pls give me a breakdown of what uni's like?
like, do y'all get a **** load of assignments and stuff?
and what's the overall life like there.

You choose a course you wanna do. Then you should choose four subjects to do in each semester that your course offers. Use your course outline to help choose your subjects.
This is my general experience.
It's pretty hard to find good friends at Uni. You might find people to chat to in lectures and classes to keep your company but chances are you wont wanna see them outside of Uni. So I feel lonely sometimes. I go out to bars now to find some attention.
Lectures are weekly events where lots of students doing a particular subject go to a threatre hall and listen to a lecturer teach the class about stuff. I don't go to them cause they are boring as HELL and I just can't pay attention. Oh and lectures are non-compulsary - you don't have to go to them.
Some classes are non-compulsory - they're basically like lectures but in a room of generally 20 students and the professor/teacher/whatever teaches you more about the subject and you get to ask them questions and stuff. Classes are very valuable.
There's lots more assignments/workload in Uni. In comparison to Uni, high school is piss easy. It's my second week back and I already have a **** load of assignments that I really don't wanna do I tend to procrastinate a lot these days too welp
You get group assignments sometimes and it's rare you get a good group... god out of like the 6 group assignments I've had so far Ive only liked one group. The rest can suck my ass
On the up side there's a lot more freedom, you don't have to go everyday, or at all maybe unless you don't want to fail. Theres no dumb rules, uniform and ****
All I care about now is sex, love, fun, friends and success. Uni has made me realize my dreams now I'm pursuing them af. The course Im doing rn doesnt even relate to my dream job lmao.
Okay what else. A few random things: there's a lot more hot ppl and it makes me die, there are some weird ass clubs/associations like Hogwarts club wtf... LOTS of weird people wow, and I dunno.
Yeah I've made barely any friends at Uni. I suppose that comes down to the individual though. If you really like someone and want to pursue the friendship and turn it into a proper friendship, then that's on you, but most of the people you meet are weird. And the ones who are interesting and attractive, you only see them once a week, so it's difficult to maintain a friendship.
That's what sociologists say is fundamental to developing a friendship - sustained, repetitive encounters. That's why most of our friends come from work or school. You could meet the most amazing person in the world at Uni, but how are you going to develop a substantial friendship, when you only see them from 3pm to 4pm each Thursday afternoon for 13 weeks, when you're not supposed to talk to them for the whole hour.
The annoying thing about making friends at Uni is you go, and then you leave. There's no recess or lunch, there are so many people, it's not every day. Everyone in every class and lecture is different.
I thought I would make so many new friends at Uni and it could not be less true. You'll only get the "college campus life" if you actually live on campus and live with new people and go to Uni parties (which are really, really rare, if non-existent). The American version of college and the Australian version of Uni could not be more different.
And what ks_dollar said about hot people is also true. They're everywhere, and you can't stop staring. But it's also just a population density thing. If you're going to Uni with 50,000 - 60,000 students, you're bound to see a lot of hot people who'll sink your self-esteem and make you feel less attractive than you are. But you only notice them because they're hot. If you stop and notice everyone around you, you'll realise that 95% of them are so hideous. You just happen to notice the remaining 5% because Uni is so massive that 5% could mean like 200 insanely hot people on any random day.

Yas yas and yas! And when we move there, we can be in the right time zone to be up to date with ATRL
haha, i agree with nearly everything being said. i graduated uni in 2012 and yes, i died almost daily at the amount of hot people strolling around campus! i'm going back next year to do a post-graduate, i wanted to do it on-campus but i don't think i'd be able to fit it in with work, so i'll be doing it externally.
But my final destination is the United States Of America hopefully in New York.

That's understandable, but you have to be realistic and realise that pretty much everyone in the world, and I mean everyone, has dreams of living in New York City at some point in their lives. It's incredibly difficult. With the entire world wanting to live there, and almost competing to live there, it drives property prices up to insane levels. It's one of the most expensive cities to live in in the whole world.
You basically need to have a really established career in another city and get transferred to a New York branch for it to work. My brother is the marketing manager for Asia-Pacific for Colonial First State (one of Australia's biggest superannuation firms) and he tried to get transferred in to New York for years and years and it never happened. He even looked for jobs there in the finance industry for like 10 years, and he's been there on holiday like 20 times.
Or if you don't get transferred there, you need to have connections there. Someone who's established in New York who can be a network for finding a job. It's really not as simple as "I want to move to New York" and then you just move there, find a place and find a job. I hate to burst your bubbles but pretty much every man, woman, child and dog have dreams of New York. And when you're up against people with really lucrative, high-paying, 6-figure-salary careers, with connections in New York who can't even move there, then it's unlikely that the majority of people who want to ever will.
I know a lot of people from school who've travelled there in the past 2 years and I lurk their facebooks and see **** like "city of my dreams! Can't wait to move here! " and I'm like mhmmm, sure you will.
i'd like to move to Canada as well, but i'm a nurse and to transfer a nursing registration to Canada requires exams which are apparently quite difficult. realistically if i do move overseas for a year or so it'd be the UK because it's the easiest place to transfer my nursing registration :/

oh yeah, no of course, i believe everything you said.
I realised i worded that wrong lmao. i don't think i could ever live for long periods of time away from my parents haha, i just meant go there for like a holiday haha.
but damn slay at your brother, christ, it seems like so many people in your family have really good jobs

Yeah, pretty much everyone does. On one hand, they're big shoes to feel, and it puts a massive pressure on me to succeed. On the other, they're the best connections/network to have. If they didn't get me jobs where they work, they'd be able to ask around their own inner-circles considering they network with other people who are similarly successful.
Which reminds me, I should probably make a LinkedIn profile considering I finish uni in November...
My family are nothing but a bunch a pack of bogans who view university as "another 3 years of school" and TAFE "as a way to get a dream job".
I think I am the 4th (I think) on my dad's side of the family to go to Uni, and the first on my mum's side to go. I am talking extended family too. Basically all my motivation and self determination is self driven.
My pop is mega rich though, he owns business's over seas and in Australia but I am 100% sure he is a fraud judging by certain events.
" and I'm like mhmmm, sure you will.
