Am I understanding this right?

I'll only have to take an English proficiency test for seminars, but they're not needed for being admitted for the program? This is the official JGU Mainz website but I find it hard to believe.

Also: It says that there's no minimum level of German proficiency required if you're doing BA in English Literature & Culture, but I can't tell if that's only if you do American Studies along with it, or if American Studies are not necessary.

I want to be told there's still hope for a better future

Hi everyone. Literally just looking for some reassurance. I'm trans and suspect I have AuDHD; I'm not yet diagnosed. Seriously failing college: I'm in a major I hate, was not allowed by parents to drop out, failing all the classes, etc. I supposedly graduate next year. I'll be moving countries, which my parents are supportive of and are helping me with, including financially, which is causing really intense feelings of guilt because my relationship with them is very complicated and I don't consider them good parents. I want to be independent financially, but I don't know if I'll be able to hold a job, considering my AuDHD. I'll have to study and work in a foreign country, with probably no financial support from family (I don't count on them not cutting me off because I'm trans), trying to earn enough money for the basic necessities but also for transitioning. I'm filled with so much dread and anxiety, and am completely burnt out. It really doesn't look good. I'm terrified I'll fail and, worse, will have to rely on my parents again, which I don't want to, but I also can't (or maybe don't want to) work. I feel weak and like I both want my cake and to eat it too. Any support and advice will be much appreciated

Absolutely brilliant scene

I almost wish I hadn't spoiled her arrival for myself—and that the trailers hadn't shown them kissing—so I could've been properly surprised, but I still couldn't breathe while watching this. I think a pretty "silly" episode ending on a scene like this is a hint for what's to come. It's going to get darker than ever and I'm so excited!

How to stop feeling like I'm too young to write the book I want to write?

I don't think if I wrote it now it would be bad, but I do feel like it would be a little juvenile, and I keep thinking about how that idea deserves more than that; thinking that I haven't read enough books, watched enough movies, expanded my horizons enough, etc. How do I stop feeling this way?

Konstrakta - In Corpore Sano (LIVE) | Serbia 🇷🇸 | Grand Final | Eurovision 2022

Some of Serbia's entries this decade have been quite "out there," which has consistently landed them in the top half of my personal rankings. In Corpore Sano in particular is, in my opinion, Serbia's best entry ever, and probably my second (or third) favorite entry from any country this decade.

A spite house is a building constructed or substantially modified to irritate neighbors or any party with land stakes. Because long-term occupation is not the primary purpose of these houses, they frequently exhibit strange and impractical structures.

i have ruminated over my intelligence for as long as i have known myself, pretty much. i'm not smart enough. i've got to get smarter. why can't i get smarter? i got smarter! but this still isn't enough. i'm not smart, and no one can convince me otherwise! and these type of thoughts follow me constantly when i talk to friends, when i run into someone i deem more intelligent, when i "fall short" in discussing/analyzing something. i didn't think about it possibly being linked to OCD until now, but now that i do, it kind of makes sense. anyone else like this?
