Going back to education

Three years ago, I dropped out of university half way through third year. For two years I had the option of going back, but starting my third year again. Officially dropped out during the second year, and finally felt like I had space to breathe.

Have been working full time since, and had a health scare at the start of the year. We're improving, but things aren't great. For a while there I didn't think I'd be able to go back to work.

Decided it's finally time to give it another shot, I felt ready. I applied late, didn't expect much. But I've just been accepted to the #2 university in my country for the course I want to do!

I don't have anyone close to share it with, but I'm proud of myself. Time to try and make something of myself, being the first generation of my family to pursue higher education. I'm going to be older than anyone there, and while I'm a little scared, I feel like this is a chance to start over.

Thanks for your time :)

Eggs? Waste? Help

Hi, my first post here and I hope you guys can help!

Today I noticed these 3d black specs on a few leaves of my monstera. I've had the monstera for over 3 years, and have never noticed anything like this before. The specks seem to only be on the underside of newer leaves, and she was recently moved into a new spot for more light as I could see was suffering - brown spots/yellowing.

She is watered once weekly, in a pot with adequate drainage. In the summer months, every fourth water is replaced with plant food. I've always used the same brand & type of soil, and she hasn't been repotted recently. In fact, its probably about due, but I'm struggling to find a pot big enough in my local area.

I'm in the UK, specifically Scotland if that helps!

We did have an issue in the house with moths for a month or so, but I believe that should be over, and I've never seen moth eggs that look like this. It's really the only thing I can think of, but I think it's unlikely?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
