Just some context, my mum would rather see me doing EVERYTHING other than being on the phone for dramas and so on. And I'm almost 19 btw.

On top of that, I'm on a gap year which is almost abt to finish.

When my mum was away for holidays, I would binge watch bls like Love in the moonlight, flower boy and so many more AND I LOVED EVERY MOMENT.

But now that she is back, and no one knows I'm my house and siblings that I watch BLs,

HOW CAN I WATCH BLs?

Specially the ones that are TTH, payback the series, deep in, prosecutor's proposal.

I'll be going university which is quite far and won't be moving out, wo I'm thinking so fcking hard on how to watch it.

It hurts so bad. 😭😭🤣🤣

Like I'm stuck but like how am I supposed to watch them series?

If I'm to watch one episode in the morning during uni time, I'd be thinking abt the srires the whole day.

I still can't believe thay I'm missing out on payback, don't be too emotional AND MANY MORE .

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

I'm almost 19, female (on a gap year.)

It's just getting so hard on me lately,so just wanted to vent my emotions our.

I just think my parents are too strict?

But at the same time I scold myself a lot for thinking like that.

I just hate how my strict my pakistani parents are., both of them are just so strict.

As said, I'm almost 19 and I still feel scared to build my own identity bc of her. She just doesn't let me.

Idk how to put this into words so just going to summaries the things happened,

1.She'd rather see me doing EVERYTHING other than being on the phone and doing something. It may not seem serious to you, but she has made me carry a buttoned phone from year 9 till the end of college (year 13, UK SYSTEM) AND I STILL DONT HAVE A PHONE

2. She sometimes gets so moody and angry at me that all I can do is keep quiet.

3.not allowed to go outside at all, and I don't ask for it either bc I know the answer is no.

4.my self confidence and self esteem is so low to the point where I feel that I am the ugliest women out there even tho that's not true at all when I dress nice.

5. She questions me about how I'm not smart enough with money and everything BUT SHE NEVER GAVE ME MONEY TO WORK WITH AND USE MY MIND TO BE ABLE TO DEAL FINANCIALLY

6. None of these things happen to my brother.

7. All my life is literally wakeup, house chores including kitchen and go back to sleep. And because I contain these stuff in my mind, it like I'm having emotions bottled up in myself.

8. she said if it wasn't for university, she WOULD NEVER let me have a phone

AND I JUST HATW HOW SUBMISSIVE I AM. WISH I COULD SAY no.

For example, she has spent over 7 lakh rupees on the process of me getting a licence.

And I have got around 1k POUNDS in my account, she wants me to give that to her?

I initially wanted that money to buy the iPhone 18 pm coming out, but now thinking back and seeing how she spent her money on my licence, I feel like I should give her the money?

Whenever I think of this, 2 things come into my mind

1.married life must be easier then? Where I am able to deal with money. And use it my way. AND WEAR WHATEVER I WANT

2.AFTER LIFE, when you pass away, will be easier.

Idk if I'm right or not, but please let me know if this is something wrong?

I'm so glad that I've picked a university far away from home, even tho I will be commuting, I'd have space and peace of mind to think. I'm thinking of investing and buying myself an apartment or so but idek how to start, I can't imagine her reaction.

​

I failed my first driving test because of one serious mistake - I overtook badly. Apart from that, my examiner didn't have any major issues with my driving.

Now my second test is in 9 days and I only have 3 lessons left with my instructor.

The problem is that my instructor has a newer car now and the clutch is so much more sensitive than the old one. I still stall it occasionally (probably about 1 in every 20 starts), which has knocked my confidence a bit.

My parallel parking is... okay? I can usually do it, but I'm definitely not 100% confident with it. I'm honestly just hoping I don't get asked to do it on the test. 😭

The weird thing is I was actually really confident before my first test, but now I'm so much more stressed because I've already failed once. I keep overthinking everything and worrying that I'll make another silly mistake.

Has anyone else passed on their second attempt after feeling like this? Do you think 9 days and 3 lessons is enough to iron out these last few issues, or am I overthinking it?

I'd love to hear from people who've been in a similar situation.

I'm 18 now, almost 19 and I've started watching k-dramas as I'm on a gap year, and discovering them was so fun. I would say I'm not really obsessed but like just a level below being obsessed.

I couldn't watch anything before bc I had parents saying "focus on tour studies. You have your whole life for doing these sort of stuff"

My gap year was very depressing until I started watching k dramas and I love my last few months of my gap year. But sometimes I just wonder how I'd be so weird for me to crush over the actors of the kdramas when I reach the age of like 45 or so on.

Like brooo 😭🤣 just imagine.

It's all good now bc I'm almost 19 so yeah.

And when I say I'm a level below being obsessed , I mean it because I've only watched like 15 kdramas since march till now.

I'm just very picky, and the 15 kdramss that I've watched. They are so good.

Hello everyone, I did my A-levels last year and I got 3Bs in A-level chemistry, biology, maths. I was only like 4 marks away from an A in A-level chemistry for OCR A. I am now on a gap year, which is almost about to end and I've got an unconditional place for my pharmacy studies at the University of Huddersfield. So I just wanted to get a little bit of revision done for my A-levels because I feel like I will miss out if I don't do a lot of revision and get my brain back into the game . I mean, of course, it's been a lot of time since I have touched onto any of these subjects, but I feel like chemistry and biology are one of the main important, which I need to revise for. And what I would like to ask is that, does anybody know how I can revise the A-levels by myself on my own at home without any like tutor? I'm sure there are so many channels on YouTube, but if there's something that you can suggest and guide me with, I'll be really helpful. I know there are some channels, but I don't really know what channels they are. So yes, thank you.

Applied for medicine, couldn't get in, and I already knew about this but the peer pressure and parents pressure made me end up with a gap year.

I applied again and with every rejection, I kept loosing hope until one day I was going for an interview for my backup choice. That day I cried and felt pity on myself on how bad I felt.

But I must say that after crying that day, I felt at ease, I didn't feel suffocated and stressed all the time like it was before.

After that crying session, something in me made me give up on medicine.

And even thinking about it now, it sort of hurts bc I just gave up on that dream of medicine, a dream that I had from year 5 till the middle of gap year.

My pharmacy interview flopped and there went my 5th choice gone too.

It was such a depressing time, yet I decided to go through clearing and managed to get a place for pharmacy at another uni. Huddersfield.

That's the moment I took a peaceful breathe, knowing I've secured an UNCONDITIONAL place.

And now, I'm sort of excited. Very excited actually to be able to get back to uni, bc for me this gap year was something that had me stressed out for like 90% of the time.

As an Asian 18F with strict parents, there was nothing to enjoy of this gap year other than being an unpaid full time maid doing house chores.

To be exact, I have 101 days left to go to uni.

The days went from 300ish to 260 to noel 101.

​

Idk if uni is going to be exciting but hopefully it will be.

I told my mum about it, she said why didn't the wife cooperate and give 'it'?

I got this bunch of ladies bc my mum just did hajj and they are all laughing on this so called meme?

It makes my blood boil, just wanna destroy every thing.😭😭😭😭

​

​

Did he even get charged with murder.

I always says the word SHIA and my little brother who is 11 yrs old, he just lost in roblox and screamed SHIAAAA.

I looked at him so surprised and he said WHAT? YOU SAY IT ALL THE TIME. I PICKED IT FROM YOU 😭😭😭😈

As an 18 year old woman,

I still feel trapped

I feel like if I was an 18 year old man, it would have been very very easy.

Not as stricter, specially for the eldest child.

I would be able to go for night outs, tour the world, like going to countries like Singapore, China and so on.

I know this bc as a woman my parents would 100% never let me go.

And just a note, not only girls living in pakistan have stricttttt parents.

Girls living abroad like me have strict parents too, where even if you're 18, you don't have a phone, social media and stuff like that. I know it's unbelievable.

I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense, it's just a rant, my mind is so full and chaotic after taking a gap year but it's now over 9 months staying at home doing nothing but house chores.

It makes me sick.

I remember how my mum told me she just wants me to learn cooking, and now here we are, where I have to cook all the time.

So I want to know if its dangerous? For the past 5 weeks I've been having 2 packs of ramen per week. One on like Tuesday and one on Sunday. Well I had ramen one pack on Saturday. Then had one on the Monday. I want to eat them again today. I wonder if its OK for me to have ramen 2 PACKS at the same time. Today at once? 😭👀👀 I don't wanna get cancer and kidney stones so yeah

I'll make sure to drink water and have some scrambled eggs. Its the pink carbonara.

And the next time I'll have rammer again, it'll be minimum 3 days later.

I just finished this drama and after reading some Reddit posts, I was honestly surprised by how many people said they didn't enjoy it or thought it was too long.

Personally, I loved it.

What surprised me most was that the romance wasn't even the reason I kept watching. The main reason was the villain.

Usually when people talk about villains, they focus on how evil they are. But what impressed me was how intelligent and powerful this guy was. He wasn't just some criminal running around causing trouble. He built an entire network. He had politicians, businessmen, international connections, money, influence, and people doing his work for him. The amount of control he had over everything was insane.

The thing I appreciated most was that the heroes didn't defeat him easily. It took months of investigating, planning, gathering evidence, and working together. The entire police team had to constantly think ahead because he was always several steps in front of them.

That's what made him such a great antagonist.

A weak villain gets caught in a few episodes.

A great villain forces every other character to become smarter just to stand a chance.

I also really liked the Candy Lady. She was one of the most interesting characters in the show for me. Yes, she was involved in making the drugs, but she still had principles and limits. She didn't agree with selling them to children and women, she gave hints to help catch the villain, and she ultimately turned against him after everything he did. Compared to everyone else around him, she actually showed sympathy and humanity.

As for the villain himself, I found his backstory fascinating. He started out working in the police and discovered evidence of tax fraud. Instead of exposing it, he used it to blackmail people and build his own empire. That's how he gained money, power, connections, and influence.

The moment that really convinced me he was beyond saving was when he killed the woman who genuinely loved him. She was ready to leave everything behind and go with him, and he still killed her. That scene was honestly shocking.

What's funny is that I wasn't attracted to him in the same way people get attracted to some tragic villains. My reaction was more like:

"Wow. This guy is terrifyingly smart."

Because realistically, if I existed in that drama, he'd probably kill me too. 😭

Overall, I thought the villain was the heart of the story. Without him, there wouldn't have been a plot. He was the reason everyone else had to move, investigate, and grow.

The comedy was great, the team dynamics were fun, and I actually appreciated that the drama didn't rely heavily on romance.

What's your opinion?

Good boy

All of the posts I've seen regarding the k-drama GOOD BOY, almost 90% of it has been nad reviews.

Some people complain about how the drama is so long for no reason and some complain about how it's just not good enough.

For me it has everything 😭😭.

The comedy, the seriousness, the romance and the plotting of the cops to get to the main dealer, so fricking good.

One thing to say for sure is that I really fell for the second main lead.

The candy lady, she also mailed her role.

I really love her dressing style.

The scene where he says "Annyeong" to the cops daughter when they crash at his place, 😭😭😭🥰 so good.

Also, idk if it's the song or ost, but it is played at 1hr 08 mins on episode 15, if anyone could help me find out what that song name is, I'd be grateful.

Really loved this drama 😭😭😭😭

8.5/10

Hello everyone,

I'm about to go uni in September and I wanted to get a rough idea of how many days a week does a university student goes university?

I need this information to finalise if I should buy daily tickets, weekly or so on.

The subject is pharmacy, so if there are any pharmacy students telling me how many days in a week they HAD to go to uni, in the first year, I'd be grateful.

Thank you. 😊

Assalamualaikuk everyone,

What I'm about to share is way too personal.

Im around 19 years old female now.

Around 5 years ago, me, my sister and my khala, who was like only 4 years older than me, we went to this pool that you can also call Tarpaan!

Well we came out of the pool, very happy bc ofc we were small and on top of that it was really hot so we enjoyed it.

Our house wasn't that far either, more like a 5 minute walk, and the road that we walked by, its not as commonly used, so we just decided to walk.

On out way back, we were all talking between us and so on, when one of us, and idk if it was me or not, felt a hand on our lower back, bottom, we turned around and it was these 2 guys on the bikes.

I hate to admit it, but I still remember those guys faces. Very clearly.

They smirked and laughed.

My khala told us all to run and stuff, when we got home, we told my mum and she was furious. She literally took the thing with which you wash clothes and stormed out on the bike with my mamu and khala to find those guys.

She couldn't find the guys, even after searching a lot.

Well a day or two passed by, and my same khala and me decided to go to bazaar, AND we saw the same guys, we were going to the opposite directions.

But it got even worse when they came back ok the bike and gave us those looks.

My khala and I ran from there to our nearest relative house and told one of the cousins to drop us back home.

I figures out those fckers lived a street or two behind out house.

Since then, I've been so scared to get out of the house. So scared to the point that I now no longer want to come back to Pakistan?!

My closest relative is in pak right now, and she said next time, if I come there, he'll take me to this spot.

I straight up said "I DONT WANT TO COME THERE ANYMORE" - bear in mind that I am the type of girl that used to go Pakistan every fcking summer holidays. The same khala was there on call in pakistan, she has always lived in pakistan, married there and has kids. She just laughed at this, when I tried to explain why I don't want to come back anymore. TF?

I feel like if I do end up going Pakistan, I will just lock myself at home, or go out only when there is a car I can drive by myself and stay in it.

Living in the uk is more safer for me, no one is as likely to do that to me, ans I know for a fact that if it ever happens, the police will act upon it quicker than in pakistan.

I just have this guilt, why didn't I react back then? We were all very frozen. But at the same time, I wanna go easy on me, I would have been around the age of 14ish? Or even younger.

I just know that if someone was to harass me again, I would lash out and take all of my previous anger out on him as well.

Bit it just bothers me so much.

I seriously hate those 2 men, and I really hope they never achieve anything in life.

Absolute fckers.

I made a post a few days ago about how many bls I've watched and some more suggestions.

A lot of you recommended NOT ME.

Recently I was watching the kbls so rhe episodes were only like 25ish mins long and 8 total episodes. So when I saw NOT ME and it being 14 episodes, I thought 🤔, ohh ok this has long episodes and is long. It's a good one and it will keep me for a few days.

I ended up watching it in two days.

1 to 4 episodes yesterday and the rest today.

Don't come after me, but when I know the character of black/white outside that drama and I always thought hmm, I'm not gonna watch his dramas. It just doesn't click for me.

But omg, I saw his acting for the first time in not me and I loved it so much.

The series itself brought some sort of feeling that I feel like I can never ever get from other series no matter how good they are.

The plot was amazing and so was the acting.

I loved how the leader of the garage acted like a fatherly figure, specially when he was sidehugging yok? The character that got shot, in the last episode.

The series was so good.

I regret not watching it early but I'm also happy that I got to watch it this week.
