Should I consider MT1?

I’m 19M from Ireland, and I’m wondering if I should consider trying MT1 (Melanotan 1).

I’ve always been very pale, but lately my family has been commenting on it because they think I look too pale and that it doesn’t look healthy. It’s made me a lot more self conscious about it.

The problem is that living in Ireland, we barely get any reliable sun, even during the summer. I’ve been waiting for good weather so I can tan naturally, but it just hasn’t happened. Even when we do get sunny days and I spend time outside, I barely tan. At most I get the slightest bit of color, and it’s so minimal that it’s basically negligible.
Because of that, I’ve been looking into MT1, but I’m pretty cautious. Is it something that’s actually worth considering for someone like me, or is it just not worth the risks?

One of my biggest concerns is whether it could have any long-term effects or mess up my health in the future. I’m also wondering whether it could increase the chances of getting wrinkles or make my skin age faster.
My thinking is that tanning usually involves some level of DNA damage from UV exposure, so I’m wondering if using MT1 somehow speeds that process up or increases the risk of premature skin aging. I could be completely wrong—that’s just my understanding, and I’d appreciate if someone who knows more could explain it.

I’d also love to hear from anyone with naturally very pale skin who’s used MT1. Was it worth it, and were there any downsides you wish you’d known beforehand?

I just want honest opinions and experiences. Thanks!

Trying to decide between biomed and chemical sciences in trinity

On the 5th spot on my CAO I can’t decide between biomed and chemical sciences, if anyone can let me know how they are doing in life while/after doing any of these degrees I would appreciate it

I find the modules of both of these courses very appealing to my chud brain but I only care about going to college for the sake of future employment, well ofc I’d love a good college life too but I don’t care how entertaining à course is if I’m gonna be homeless when I’m older (slight exaggeration)

So yeah whoever has done either of these
What’s your job opportunities looking like?
How hard was the degree?
Do you wish you picked another course ?
And what’s your overall quality of life ?

Thank you

Would I still need around 625 points for dentistry with HEAR

Ik how the HEAR system works and it’s impossible to quantify how many points exactly I’ll need because it depends on competition of this year but if anyone has done dentistry as a HEAR applicant can you tell me is it possible with sub 625 points

I usually do the dab when he’s inspecting my outfit I time my dab to be at its full extension so his first impression on me is good, because no one respects a badly timed dab (am I right? 😆)or if I’m feeling cheeky I’ll do the worm while bruising my ribs on my parents hard tile floor so everyone else in the imaginary Fortnite fashion line show knows I’m OG 😉. I always give myself first place (my U12s participation award trophy) at the end of the night so I can go to bed happy knowing I fucking won, me, the little boy from Mayo won, while my family cheer my name, then before I hit the hay , I feel a tap on my shoulder from Lazarbeam himself, I see my reflection in the his teary yet proud eyes and without exchanging any words I feel all the acknowledgment and validation a man could ever need to remind me to push through tomorrows leaving cert study so I can make him just as proud the next night aswell

Anyways I’m hoping to get a H1 in English any tips?

I got 93 percent on the mock without studying so I’ll be alright as long as the exam tomorrow won’t have any random abbreviations that I’m expected to know. (Plz lmk if there is any)
