Im in my 20s, engineering student, home student, the only single one in my friend group (also the only non white one which i feel like might have something to do with it). Just wondering if there's anyone else 20s, educated, looking for a woman who wants commitment, a family, security, has an open mind, and isnt really finding anything even remotely close to that on dates?

People just tend to want one night stands or don't really know how to hold a conversation

Thanks x

Edit: ive tried bars, clubs, societies at uni, pub crawls, then online: hinge, bumble, tinder, Her. I find that those in their 30s showed pictures of their lives, their hobbies, they looked lovely, they looked like they had depth, i wanted to get to know them but they never replied when contacted. Those in their 20s (what i was looking at) were either lathered in so much makeup i couldn't see the person underneath (which is what i want to see, i want to get to know the person) or they had pictures of their shirts off in the mirror or at the gym.... i don't want to see someones body, i want to know a persons values and views, you know? Should i be looking elsewhere? Also why does everyone whos got their crap together have a partner or they're like 30😭

Currently stuck on what subjects to take for 4th year. So far my experience of my course (BME) has been more theoretical than practical in my previous year. Just wondering if the robotics course is too or if there will be hands on experience? I really miss working in labs and with equipment.

I also saw the exam is worth 80%. Was this really challenging or...?

If anyone has knowledge from being in this course or word of mouth, id appreciate some help, thanks x

This has been happening to me more the last few night and im unsure what it is. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

A bit of background first: i never have a stressful time before bed, im relaxed, my diet is sound, theres no noises around me except my fishtank, im on holiday and not stressed

Ive found over the last few months, when im on fhe cusp of sleep, i start hearing strange things. Im wondering if its just me dreaming? But theyre weird sounds, honestly. To give a few examples:

-sometimes i lie there and suddenly hear trumpets playing a tune ive never heard before. If i move it stops and i wake up, but its definitely there. I look around, nothing is making the sound, no spotify on

-sometimes i hear my mum calling my name, i call out "yeah?" And get nothing back obvs. I get up to check and nobodys there.

-sometimes i hear something fall off my desk, i look, nothings there

-last night i heard a really loud, and a little bit scary honestly when youre asleep, BANG and i thought someone had broken in. Everything was fine. Tried going back to sleep and i heard a blood curdling scream. Thats the only time ive been a little scared so far.

Hallucinations? Dreams? Help please, thanks x

Ok, im seriously confused and slightly repulsed by this. Can someone tell me if this is more frequently occurring for a certain sex?:

I keep reading and hearing about people competing and feeling 'behind' in terms of sexual relationships. Why on earth is it 'cool' for under 18s to be having sex? Am i the only one thats concerned by this?

Theyre kids. I feel so bad for them, why cant they just grow without the pressure of having to lose their virginity to be cool?

Maybe im being too OTT about this, but if any of you are parents here id love to hear your thoughts. Am i overreacting? Is it not worrying that kids think having sex is cool rather than a bonding experience with someone you love?

Thanks x

Genuinely curious what drew Trump supporters to vote for him twice

Also curious whether, at this point in time, you'd vote for him again.

Thank you

Went on holiday a few years back. Poorly planned trip and with people i didnt fully want to go with. It was a trial run to see if id want to live with the people. Ended up developing a very physical anxiety symptom (anxiety induced gag reflex, psychological trigger and anxiety trigger, most of the time if i dont think about the thing thar makes it happen.... it doesnt happen, but when my anxiety is very high i have to consciously try not to gag). Got myself some crutches for my anxiety and mental health and so far its helped but i havent been able to travel anywhere without my family since. Im going to start trying to take myself into town, use the bus, stay overnight at other people houses to try get my confidence back. But the thought of leaving the country again without my parents is terrifying me. The thought of living elsewhere too. But i know for jobs (im based in glasgow but i will need to go to england for what i want to do) i need to be able to travel and fly for work.

Advice pls

So, im 3rd year Biomedical engineering, going into 4th year. My first semester didnt go great because of family emergencies that kept interrupting my work so i didnt pass 2 exams (out of 7, so it wasn't terrible) i needed a GPA 9 to get into 4th year, a GPA 15 to get into 4th year and the MEng. So i told myself I'd study like mad for the semester 2 exams. I did my best, failed two. My GPA came out and i got above 9 but below 15 (ill take it) so i can get through into 4th year as long as i pass my resits. Ive now done my resits and results come out on the 28th.

As someone who normally gets As this is a shock to the system and its knocked down my confidence. While i spent summer revising, i know many people in my classes who did internships and its making me feel left behind because all im hearing is "if you dont have internships you will find it very difficult to get a job after uni". I also have anxiety so i find it almost impossible to leave home overnight.

So, my questions is, is there anyone on here with success stories of having to resit and not getting what they wanted but finding success in other ways?

Or anyone whos found theyve been able to find jobs without internships?

Or anyone whos found internships and has any recommendations? (I sent emails out last semester before i knew id have resits and got rejections from all)

Or anyone whos been successful with this degree without leaving Scotland their first few years (im trying to build my confidence up so im less limited for travel)

Are there many jobs for this or am i barking up the wrong tree? I keep being told ive wasted 4 years of my life and I'll never get a job with the way in currently going. Really need some words of encouragement and a green flag somewhere

Not sure where to post this. Im an engineering student. I have a passion for designing products that are easy to use to help someone when they really dont want a hassle. Are there any problems you come across, or even just 'it would be so great if i had this' kind of thought. One thing I'm looking into designing are portable and discrete breast pumps (with things in the design that others dont have). Im used to designing prosthetics but this has honestly been on my mind for years, i want to make life with a baby as easy as possible for you guys (who knows how far ill get🤷🏽‍♀️ but i want to try)

Anything, even just a small thing that might help, id love to make it easier in any way i can. Doesn't have to be pumps, just anything really. Lid types? Volume? Shape? Something completely different? Something for prams/strollers? Something for meals, changing tables, something i havent even considered youd need (im not a parent)

Im not a mother, just a student, so if im way off and this all sounds a bit stupid and a bit too much, I'll take the hint👍🏽 this is not limited to just breastfeeding, anything, go for it, id love to hear
