What's it like living in halls? What was your experiences like?

Hey guys!

I'm not from Christchurch and I didn't get a chance to visit the halls on open day unfortunately. Can y'all please share your experiences and advice? Like did you like the people and the overall vibe in your hall?vAny complaints? Any advice would help! I chose Illam as my preferred hall as it was the most affordable for me. So if anyone who lives there could tell me what's it like, I would so so grateful!!

Thanks in advance

PS - I am aware of the virtual tours of the halls on the UC website but I just wanted to hear it from people who actually lived there!

How can I improve my makeup?

Hello pretty people!! I'm an absolute beginner to makeup and I have no clue what I'm doing lmao. I think I have collected the basics, Concealer, foundation, blush, lipliner, lipstick, highlighter, bronzer, mascara, kajal and kmart primer and setting spray. How can I improve my makeup look, anything I should focus on, what type of makeup would suit or any advice on how I can look better overall? Also I've always wondered what type of vibe do I give off lol so I would appreciate it if you guys could tell me!! Feel free to ask me any questions!!

PS- sorry for the advance for the jumpscare on the 5th slide😭, those are the pictures I took for my eyes only to compare to the future as I am trying to lose weight rn. I'm too tired to take a picture as I'm typing this haha

Anyways, thank you in advance for reading! I hope you have a beautiful day/night <3

Should I take my cat to university?

​Hi y'all!!

&#x200B;

​I (18F) finished high school last year and took a gap year. It was a bit chaotic because my family moved to a different city, but I had to stay behind by myself for my final year to finish school. During my gap year, I finally moved back in with them, but it has been a really stressful time for me.

&#x200B;

​Because I really needed emotional support, I convinced my mom to let me adopt a cat. I have wanted a pet MY ENTIRE life, so when she finally agreed, you best believe I was ecstatic! I adopted the cutest little kitty named Ollie, who is now about 4–5 months old.

​Initially, the plan was for me to stay with my family and go to a university close by. However, I’m now thinking about attending a university further away, in another region. Just to be clear, I haven't actually applied yet or received any acceptance letters, as university wouldn't start until next February (it's currently June). This gives me a good eight months to plan ahead, but it also means I have a lot to figure out, like finding a new job and hunting for a flat in a completely different city that allows pets.I haven't had Ollie for a super long time, but he is absolutely my best friend and the only thing keeping me sane in this house.

&#x200B;

​When I realized I wanted to go to a university further away, my anxiety set in because I don't see myself living without him. How am I going to take him with me? I'll obviously be flatting with housemates (sharing a house with other people but having my own room).

&#x200B;

I feel like I am a responsible person—I'm good at managing finances, balancing university, and managing my free time. Plus, I already lived by myself in a different region during my last year of school while managing a job, so I know I can physically take care of him.

​But I'm just worried if this is actually a bad idea for his well-being. I am harness training him right now so he can come on walks with me and I can take him places, but it will still be a completely new city.

&#x200B;

​If I do leave him at home, he wouldn't be neglected. He would be living with my sister, who absolutely adores him, and my mom, who really loves him too (even though she's allergic). So it's not like I'd be rehoming him to strangers. But he is absolutely the apple of my eye, and I love him so, so much. I really don't think I will be able to survive without him. I honestly need him more than he needs me, and if I do take him, I promise I will take amazing care of him.

&#x200B;

​Has anyone else taken a cat with them to university? What should I do, how should I prepare, and what should I keep in mind? Please give me any advice or tips you have!

&#x200B;

​Thank you so much for listening, and I hope you all have a good day and your fur babies are super happy and healthy!
