Hi! So I have acne, I've been doing a lot better, but recently I had a minor flare-up (I know what caused it) and I was scratching my nose a poped a pimple! is their anything I can do to care for it so it doesn't look horrible for my graduation photos!
Soo... I'm looking for other universities within Australia to apply to for my Master's to keep my options open (I've already got into a London university, and have had many offers from other international universities).
Preferably, the course must be Fine/Visual art-based in restoration, as for my financial situation is currently on the rocks i'd prefer an Aussie UNI as that's where I am from and its currently too late to apply for scholarships (I'm an education trust fund award, baby, I can explain more if needed)
The end goal is to end up within musume restoration, and continue practising art on the sidelines. So any information would be helpful. (I've already achieved so much working toward my goal, and I don't mind taking an alternate path as life can lead to anything)

I’m 21F, and I’ve struggled with severe anxiety since I was about 9. It started with school because I’ve got dyslexia and always found academics really stressful. Then as my parents kept moving around, it got harder and harder to make proper connections with people my age. As my parents’ marriage started falling apart, I ended up being diagnosed with chronic depression, too.
I tried heaps of different medications over the years, but eventually realised they just weren’t for me.
When I started uni in 2023, I decided I wanted to actually start living a bit more. I pushed myself to go out, make friends, and finally experience being a teenager. It definitely wasn’t easy, though. I made mistakes, hung around the wrong people, and even tried medical weed for the first time. (Wouldn’t recommend using drugs to fix your problems, though.)
Now it’s 2026, and things are honestly so much better. I can leave the house without having a panic attack, I can break out of my routine without feeling like I’m drowning, and I’ve got two close friends I know will be in my life for a long time. Most importantly, I feel lighter than I have in years.
Whilst I still panic now and again its better, I can get back up afterwards because there are things in my life that have hurt me more. And I'm still standing.
So yeah, anxiety can get better. But at some point, you’ve gotta be the one to take those steps. People can support you, but they can’t hold your hand forever.
And I think that's the secret for me at least, realising the world isn't as scary as I thought. Yes, some people are mean, and act like they're still in high school (the secret is they're struggling too) but that's okay, because you didn't stoop to their level.
Hi I'm an Aussie MA student I was wondering if its common for MA students to get a single room when I request back when they first opened for a studio?
I've lived in College housing before, so that isn't an issue... However, I would like my own kitchen and a little more space.
Is it common to get Only 1 offer? They gave me 4-5 days to accept? And I'm on the last day tomorrow, so i'm a little nervous.
For more info, last week I got the offer for a standard room at the costume store.... But I really don't want to be stuck in a smaller room...
edit: Context I applied for 2026-2027 housing when they open, however, I don't officially start my degree till September...
