I've been consistently playing for about two weeks and it just hit me yesterday that I've stopped making/granting wishes. I've stockpiled about 20 because I am tired of the vacation ones. They're all I have left and I just granted the space wish yesterday. The cut scenes for them are boring now.

I play for like an hour or two a day. I know I should grant the wishes now so that when the new season comes around, I'll have something to look forward to and not just have a whole bunch of wishes ready to go. Having around 25 miis allowed me to collect a lot of happy points (or whatever they're called).

Should I grant all the wishes now and stop playing until the new season release? I'm still having fun but the wish thing is getting a bit annoying as I keep playing.

I need a BETTER job. I've been struggling to find one since I graduated in May.

I was able to get a part-time job working as an unarmed security guard at a small art gallery. It sucks. All I do is stand there and watch people. But I need the money, so I show up with a smile anyway. It pays crap, but a dollar is a dollar at the end of the day.

I got a second interview with a place that is full time, benefits, and a job I believe I will enjoy. It's not my dream career and won't pay as much as I'd like, but it's better than my security job. By a longshot. Insurance and $18 an hour, give it to me please.

This interview will be online through their portal, so it should only take 30-40 minutes tops.

It's next Wednesday, during the time I'm supposed to work a shift at my security job. I just started this job less than a week ago. I've only worked 2 shifts. I really want this other job, but don't want to quit because I don't know if I'll get this other job.

But when I asked for the day off, I was told no. I said if a colleague was willing to switch shifts with me, would it be okay? But I was still told no. I don't know what to do. I told him it was an emergency, that I needed to be somewhere, still no. It's only a 4 hour shift, wtf?

Do I just resign? Not show up? This sucks.

UPDATE: The company interviewing me changed the time to later in the day! So, I will be able to show up for my shift and do the interview. Hopefully this isn't a red flag or anything. The original interview was supposed to be at 11 am and was changed to 1:30 pm. So, there's that! Thanks, everyone, for your comments/advice!

I feel completely defeated right now with this field.

I worked so hard for my MA in Museums and Cultural Heritage, wanting a career in collections, community engagement, and/or oral history. I wanted to be that person who preserves stories and connects the public with history. But right now, I can't even get my foot in the door. It seems like every time I do, someone slams the door on me.

I've been applying for months. I finally got an interview, which is my first since May, and after getting ghosted last month, for a part-time Gallery Attendant position. It's a role I've done before, but this time it feels different. The conditions are very strict, where I will stand for the entire 8-hour shift with only a 30-minute lunch break to sit down, and that's if I can be scheduled for an 8-hour shift. My past GA roles had us sit at designated areas in shifts, but this one just makes us stand there for an hour before moving to the next area.

After earning a Master's degree, I'm fighting for a job that won't even let me sit down and pays $16 an hour. I don't have mobility issues or standing for extended periods of time, but standing for hours will really affect me because I'm plus-size (250+ lbs). I worked at a restaurant before grad school, where I weighed less than I do now, and that still messed up my ankles. Even with compression socks and good shoes.

I'm currently stuck in that horrible limbo between "I have a dream" and "I have bills to pay." I was so desperate that I emailed the hiring manager who ghosted me a month ago. It's that bad.

The issue is, I don't even know where to start looking for transferable skills. Every job description I see asks for years of experience I don't have yet. Sure, yeah, having 2 years as a GRA at a museum working in collections and archives isn't too bad, but finding jobs that I can transfer those skills to is a nightmare. Are there adjacent industries I'm overlooking? I don't care that I'm applying to roles outside of the museum field, but I'd like to return one day if possible.

If you've been here, if you took a "survival job" and still made it into the museum world, I would love to hear how you did it. Or found a position outside of it and love it, I'd love to know that too.

What transferable skills should I be highlighting that I might be blind to? Are there adjacent fields (high ed, nonprofit, corporate, etc.) that I should be looking at?

I need to know this isn't the end. Any advice is appreciated and would mean the world right now.

Update/Edit: I made the decision to reject the offer. I cannot see myself moving up from this position. The hiring manager even hinted that this position is only for security. He said I'd be working with students that go to a university nearby who work there because they're interested in the field too and/or want some pocket money. I know that I'll be looking for jobs elsewhere throughout my time there, which is already draining. I do not want to be drained more from a job that makes me stand around all day. Thank you everyone for your encouragement and advice, but this is my decision.

I fit about 95% of the qualifications for this job, but I do not have a driver's license. It's embarrassing to say that I'm 25 and still don't know how to drive.

I don't have the money to afford a car, no one in my immediate family has one either, so I never bothered to get one. Gas is also very expensive and I love public transportation. Whoever came up with that, I'd kiss them on the mouth. This job is my dream job, but it wants me to have a valid driver's license.

Would it still be okay to apply? Even without it. The application says even if I meet most of the minimum required qualifications to still apply. This is under physical qualifications, which has underneath that to still apply even if I don't meet everything.

I'll work hard to get my license if I get the job, I'll even tell them in the interview if they ask. I do want to learn, it's just hard without access to a vehicle. I already have my permit, I just haven't been able to learn how to drive.

This is a position in collections/registration work.

Just graduated with an MA! I had fomo when my friends graduated and went to grad school, so I went as well. I really enjoyed my program. It came with a fellowship at a museum where I assisted with collections processing and art digitizing. The job ended a while ago and I've been struggling to find a job.

I just want a job where I help with filing, organizing, and digitization. I really enjoyed oral history classes, research, and community outreach. I don't have issues with working with others, but I'd love a job where I can work on projects with the public and also spend time by myself at work. I, sadly, don't have much nonprofit experience, but it's something I'm open to learning.

I need help with narrowing my job search. What should I look into? What roles align with what I'd like to do? Any advice is appreciated.

I don't see enough love and appreciation for hypochlorous acid spray. I see it mentioned occasionally, like "is it good for my skin?" Yes. "Will it ruin my skin barrier?" Not if you're allergic to it, so no. "Does it really work?" Yes, if you use it correctly (you have to let it dry completely or it won't work).

I discovered this product after 5 years of being really into skincare and started using it three months ago. No one has ever mentioned it to me and I randomly came across it when I watched a video on TikTok of a woman spraying some on. She didn't even say what the product was. I had to take a screenshot of the bottle to look it up. That was when I discovered hypochlorous acid spray.

It's perfect for when you need to reapply sunscreen, which is what I needed! I hate reapplying sunscreen because I feel like I'm sandwiching dirt, bacteria, and pollution with the sunscreen as the bread. With my hypochlorous acid spray, it kills the bacteria and sprays off most of the debris. It's perfect for sunscreen reapplication.

I also shave my face regularly (I'm on HRT) and it has helped me so much to not suffer from acne after shaving. It's also reduced the amount of ingrowns I get. It calms down my skin and hydrates it. It's also great for those with rocesa, also those with any skin type. I use it every day, even on my rest days.

It may be widely known, it may not be, but if you're new, I highly recommend looking into it and seeing if you like it. It does smell like a swimming pool and watered down bleach, it kind of reminds me of the smell of albuterol that you put in a nebulizer iykyk, but it's not a bad smell. To me it smells clean.

Hypochlorous acid is a natural component that your body creates as a part of your immune system. It fights off bacteria. Most of the time a hypochlorous acid spray will have, at most, 4 ingredients.

So, yeah. Hopefully I hyped it up enough to encourage others to look into it and see if they'd include it into their routine. Hopefully this doesn't come across as advertising. I'm hyping up an ingredient. Please look into it 😭!

I recently graduated with my MA in Museum Studies and have been working as a part-time Gallery Assistant (working 20-30 hours a week) at a museum for the last three weeks.

There is one thing, though, which is that after I didn't hear anything from this museum (it took them three months to tell me they were interested), I applied to other positions. I just heard back from one of them, and they'd like to interview me.

The other role is in the GLAM sphere, but not at a museum. It's in acquisitions, which has transferable skills with museum collections and registration (what I'd like to do). My previous colleague resigned from this role and recommended me for it, so I have someone who put in a good word for me. It is full-time, with benefits, same pay (crap, but it's a job), and would count toward PSLF. Overall, it would give me more stability if I were to get it.

I don't know what to do. I know that I will do the interview, but if I were to get it, what do I do after? I am currently working at a museum, so do I quit to work somewhere that isn't a museum, but offers me more financial stability? Would it be wrong to leave the GA role after just getting it? Would a role in acquisitions give me skills in collections/registration? I don't know what to do if I were offered this job.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I've been seeing clips of Uenoyama in a wig with Mafuyu teasing him and taking a picture with him. Which episode is it?

Also, where do you find the one of Mafuyu teasing Higari by flirting with him?

Are these special episodes? Are they in Crunchyroll or somewhere else? Thanks!

I have an MA in Museum Studies and Public History and I'm struggling to find a job. I know the market is terrible right now but there have been several roles in museums near me, but each one rejects me with "went with better suited applicants."

I had an assistantship in Collections that was from Aug 2024-May 2026. It taught me a lot and I really enjoyed my job. But it was a 2 year assistantship so it ended when I graduated. I've been job hunting and every job I qualify for in experience, I lack in the length of time for that job. They want 2-3 years of full time experience when I only have 2 years part time, basically 1 year full time.

Every Gallery Assistant/Attendant/Associate role I apply for I get rejected from because of my degrees. I'm "overqualified" because of them. It's so stressful, like what? It doesn't make sense and it's been really weighing on me. I've applied for a few collections roles and a registrar role, but get rejected a few weeks later because I lack their required years of experience. (these are assumptions because every GA role only wants a H.S. diploma, while every other role wants 3-5 years of full time experience.)

I've been debating on if I should keep applying for a few more weeks and then just moving on to other jobs that have nothing to do with what I want for my career while volunteering on the side.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any adjacent jobs you'd recommend?

Edit: I have over a year of experience working with people in customer service as a library aide (and in a museum setting). I'd spend around 15-20 hours a week around people. It burnt me out and was why I decided to get my MA. I have no issues working with people, but to work with the public for as long as I did with my last job, I just know it would burn me out and affect me mentally.

Also, I should emphasize that I'm complaining about entry level roles. They all want 3-5 years of experience, which is why I'm so frustrated right now.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I really appreciate it and I'll do more research in roles in my area that I can apply the experience there to museums.

I applied for a job at a huge museum for a part time role in something that I know I'm qualified for. I'm very confident in my application, cover letter, and references.

This museum is the type where if you apply, and you're not a great applicant, they'll reject you a few days after applying. So, at first when I heard nothing, I thought "yes! They're considering me!"

A few days after the job post went down (it's been up for a month), I did not panic, I sent a short email to HR basically saying "Hi! I'm still interested in this position I applied for a few weeks ago. What is the status of my application?" And heard crickets. This was sent about 4 days ago. I sent the email at 10 am on a Friday, not good timing, but I have been busy the last few weeks graduating and moving.

Should I send another email today asking if everything is okay? Basically a follow-up to my follow-up email. This is a great job and I really want it, it's been hard finding a museum job in my city and finding this one was like fate. So, what should I do? Move on? Send another email?

I'm wanting a new phone as a graduation present to myself. I just graduated with my MA and I've been on the fence about it for a while. I'm usually someone who waits until there is something wrong with my phone before getting a new one.

My current phone is a OnePlus Nord N20 5g, which I purchased in May 2023 after the phone before that broke. I chose it because it was the cheapest option at the store and was the smallest phone. I prefer smaller phones than larger ones, but I've been thinking about getting a larger screen because I've been watching more videos on my phone lately. Nothing is incredibly bad about it, but it's battery has slowly been draining more quickly, taking longer to charge, and the camera doesn't work most of the time.

I don't do too much on my phone, like gaming or live stream. I mostly get on social media, YouTube, and take photos. I also probably only have like 5 apps on my phone, so there isn't much I do on it, other than what I've already listed.

I want a phone with awesome camera quality. Which is why I'm trying to figure out what I should get. I have a budget of $1,200. I've been saving for a while and had a graduation party, so I have enough from that. I just want some advice on performance of these phones and which you believe (personally and/or professionally) is the best with what I'd want from it.

Phones:

Samsung Galaxy S26

Google Pixel 10 pro XL

Nothing (4a) Pro

Thanks!

TL;DR: between Samsung (Galaxy S26), Google Pixel (10 XL pro), or Nothing (4a pro), which has the best camera quality, durability, and battery? Or best overall performance?

I just graduated with my MA in Museums Studies and work as a Gallery Attendant (occasionally working on other projects in the museum when needed, like exhibit preparation). I'm wanting to get more experience in museums outside of my job. I'd like a role in Collections and/or as a Registrar.

I want to get more experience in collections management systems (specifically TMS, I've only worked with PastPerfect), registrar work (packing and unpacking), and exhibition preparation (installation and deinstallation). Anything in collections and/or registrar work, honestly. My job right now doesn't have a lot of volunteer roles like this, which is why I'm wanting to volunteer somewhere else.

I, in my opinion, have applied experience in those things, just not exact experience. I've been working as a Research Assistant at a small local museum for 2 years and my contract ended, so I do have experience working in a museum in collections.

I'm not asking for or expecting a job. I just want experience and I'm wanting to volunteer in assisting in those things. It's my only option right now because museum roles are incredibly competitive and museums want someone with a lot of experience. This will also be a great way to make connections with museum professionals.

Would it be okay to ask museums directly that I'm wanting experience in specific work? Or would it be unprofessional? There are a lot of museums near me with open applications for volunteers and I want to apply to them.

I was offered a job in Museum Education (part-time for 28 hours a week), and it is a government role. I have spent the last 3 months looking for an entry-level museum role in my city that was collections, inventory, and registrar-focused, but I found nothing. So, I branched out and found this role as a Military History Museum Educator (Yuck military history, but YAY a job!).

It's an okay role. One to help build my career and allow me to do other things, like volunteer at other museums, learn to drive (yes, I have my MA and don't know how to drive lol), and also do other things to get more experience in collections.

I want to know if it is possible, with experience working as a Museum Educator, 2 years as a GRA working in collections, and hopefully future volunteer experience with collections and registrar work. What are my outcomes? Hypothetically?

There are other roles as a Gallery Attendant at two museums that I have yet to apply to. One I know you have some collections management role because you assist with exhibition work and rehousing things (my friend works there). The other is a big name museum and I was thinking of applying to hopefully move up in positions at the museum. It's just a hope that I can, I don't know if it will happen though.

TL;DR: What are my career outcomes as someone interested in Museum Collections, but is in a Museum Educator Role? Any advice is appreciated.
