u/Nomium

I have about 7 months left until graduation. I would say I am a bit above average in terms of my grades and extra-curriculars. Career-wise, I also have a clear plan that I want to follow.

But the one thing I don't have a plan for is my personal life. I always wanted to reach a mature stage in life before stepping into these things. Because of that, I’ve never been in a relationship. And at this point, I don’t even know how I would get into one.

First, there's a lot of hesitation because I'm worried that approaching someone might end up being embarrassing for me. Second, I don’t really know what type of person I would be compatible with.
Do you have any suggestions for me?

It has been years since I started teaching my parents how to use a smartphone. At first, even the basic things were difficult for them, like using WhatsApp, watching videos on YouTube, reading newspapers online and playing simple games. They struggled a lot in the beginning, but now I would say they are fairly comfortable with it.

One thing I have avoided so far is opening Facebook for them, because I am afraid they might get overwhelmed by it. What bothers me more is the kind of content they end up watching on their own, especially random cringe reels and useless fake news.

My mother often gets defensive when I try to tell her that a piece of news is probably fake. She sometimes starts believing it and saying things like the person in the video sounds genuine, so maybe he is telling the truth. I have tried a few things over time, like deleting watch history, unsubscribing from random channels, removing liked videos, and subscribing them to a few better channels.

Another thing is that my mom has recently started indirectly asking for Facebook too. When she talks with neighbors or relatives, they mention things they saw on Facebook. Now she feels like she is missing out.

I cannot really control what they watch, but I also do not want them constantly exposed to misleading or low-quality content.

Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this better?

I’m looking for a replacement power adapter for my D-Link DIR-650IN router (5V 1A). I could order from Daraz, but I’m confused about the pin size and don’t want to risk getting the wrong one.

So I’d prefer to buy it physically and test it before

I have put together a sponsorship proposal and sent it out to companies that align with our program’s exposure. I have also reached out to seniors from my university and made quite a few calls. But most of what I’m getting back is either a “no” or no response at all.

Is this just the current situation in the country, or am I doing something wrong? I feel like I have been pretty humble and clear in my conversations, I took review about my proposal too most people said it’s ok. But I never thought it would be this level hard, may be it’s a public uni outside Dhaka that’s why.
