I want to do my PADI course in Thailand, please recommend something like I’m your child you’d 100% not want me to miss out on it. Thanks!

Hi everyone! It’s been a difficult couple of weeks for all Indians, revolution fuels and exhausts you all at the same time. I hope the Indians far away from their homes are alright, don’t carry too much guilt, and show up wherever and however you can! Music, art, letters and emails, tiny donations go a long way :)

Take care!

I know that it’s 9-5, 5 days a week for 3 months straight, but is there training? And how did you manage having a part time job on the side? I’m going to start mine soon and I’m super nervous!

I had a job interview today as a wellbeing facilitator at an aged care facility. I’m currently pursuing my MSW.
Everything went well. I did a course on dementia. I researched and researched, poured my heart into it. Connected with the cause and was fully prepared. The interview was amazing. Truly.

Until I had to tell them about my placements next year and how they will impact timing. And I wished we could work around it, work evening hours and weekends. Something. I showed flexibility but I’m not sure that’s enough. Continuity of care is so important and I was so hopeful to be lucky enough to study and work in the field at the same time.

I may not get the job anymore. I’m disheartened. And for most other jobs I need a license and a car, both of which I don’t have or isn’t financially feasible at the moment. This place was 20 mins from me.

Hi! Is anyone headed to the firelight festival tonight? I’m new here like supperrr new, and I wanted to visit. Can I join if anyone’s going? We can do a vibe check if you’re open

Hi! I’ve just moved to Australia and I have relevant qualifications for fresher roles. However I do not have a drivers license yet, and I’m planning on getting it early next year. What are some part time roles I can engage in that wouldn’t require a license? Most support worker roles ask for a license and a car

Hi! I’m a brown Asian woman who’s moved here. And I’ve noticed that I feel super out of place. Common experience I know that, but I used to stand out in places before and now I feel so dull. What are things yall did to feel comfortable with your ethnicity? I do not want to feel inferior let alone be treated that way ever. I’ve not had an experience like that, but I fear it.

Hi everyone!

Not just limited to restaurants, but salons, supermarkets etc as well! I’ve just moved to the area :)

Hello everyone!

I landed in Melbourne today, and I’ve been listing different roles I could work in as a student of social work. If there’s absolutely any advice yall can give, I’d really appreciate it. I do not have specific questions since nothings truly begun yet, however I’m not surrounded by a lot of people in similar fields. So any and every advice is super appreciated.

Also, is it super bad for my pr points that I’ve come to aus right after my degree instead of working a couple years? Cuz apparently I won’t be able to squeeze in my points.

Hello everyone! I’m moving to Melbourne in a couple days and was wondering if there were any spiritual retreats or short gatherings in and around Melbourne. I’ve been recently exploring pantheism, meditation and yoga and would love to network and understand more.

Where could I find such information? And are there people who forestbathe?

Hi everyone!!! Hope yall are doing well.

I’m moving to Melbourne in a couple days to pursue my Masters in Social work. I’d love to work part time/ casual jobs in the field. To build network, strengthen my portfolio and to be very honest, to understand my field better and accordingly choose the roles I’d like to get into later on.

Are there smaller roles that I can get a job in? I’d just love to be closer to it. And while I’m trying to secure a job, how do I find volunteering opportunities?

Thank you!!

I typed it out on my Substack, I’d love if you could give it a read and share your opinions.

I’m so annoyed about it how although I’m painfully aware that im so so so far behind in being good at things I love to the extent I can truly enjoy them, although I’m super aware of it, even then I cannot muster up the energy to practice. I’ve been a zombie for as long as I can remember and right now is the most productive I’ve ever been in my life and trust me it’s still too less. As someone who’s life has revolved around situations she couldn’t get out of at a young age, now being able to do whatever I want yet being so exhausted all the time but wanting to catch up to everything I’ve missed out on, I’m scared I will always fall short. I’m so angry with how so many kids picked up a guitar and are eons ahead of me while I spent my time trying to convince myself to continue living

Im in a much better place now but I’m still exhausted.

How do yall do it? Is it a muscle you keep training? Showing up even when it’s difficult and slowly it gets easier? What is it!

Hi everyone!! I will be going to my first 10 day course at Ketana soon. I’ve read most posts however would love to hear some feedback and tips from someone who has gone to this specific centre! Thank you :)

Near Brahmagiri a red ksrtc bus overtook a truck , came onto my lane and sped past me. If I hadn’t taken a turn and fallen off my scooter, I could’ve died. Now how do I complain about this? This is so fucked up and careless, it was raining today that too.

Yall, I paid my deposit and bond at Roomingkos in Caulfield BEFORE THE INSPECTION. That place is so so so so so small, and I think I could do better at that price. But a lot of people are insistent on me not backing out cuz it’s difficult to find accommodation closer to my uni start date. UGH what do I do
