Good student life, dorm life, psychology major. That’s it- any more info would be appreciated.

I’m Non-EU. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Ca’ Foscari of Venice and Italy in general, but I’m worried that it’s too good to be true. I’d like to ask about PERSONAL experiences with staff, students, everyday living, etc. Is there anything that has impacted you personally? I’d love to hear about it in detail!

I’m interested in the Worldwide internships and wanted to understand the experience and process more. For those who are enrolled in Ca’ Foscari:

Is the process of application tedious?
How long does it take to apply?
How was handling the career service office?
Can you choose the country and school to go to? (From what I read yes but just wanted to make sure)
Any fees needed to be payed?

Appreciate it in advance!

Has any Non-EU student received the admissions decision? If so, what program and how long did it take?

I’ve been rude, heartless, and out of line before I truly found Christ- I used to insult people constantly as a reply to disrespect, but now I don’t know what to do when those times come. I seem like a completely different person, because I don’t know when to defend myself, so I just keep my mouth shut and it’s caused me to be anxious constantly.
I know the verses and I’m asking God to work on it with me, but one thing I don’t know is: How can I stand up for myself as a follower of Christ?

To turn the other cheek is what I’ve done all this time, but when should I draw a line?
An example would be just recently when I talked to a company- He was so rude and unprofessional as the owner of the company, and yet I continued to ignore it until my family stepped in. He insulted me and screamed at my family- and all I did was freeze- I even felt bad and considered myself to be in the wrong.

I have no idea how to defend myself anymore, and I’m losing confidence. I’d rlly appreciate some advice and verses.

Anyone know of good stores that have pokemon and can offer discounts other than the usual retail stores in Dubai?

I just wanna try it- anyone know where I could order it?

Specifically Europe- how yall handling the visa? Tbh I’m so clueless and I honestly wanna know what to do HERE so I could go there.

I don’t want to spill the beans to ppl I know, but I do want some prayer-

Please pray for my faith, my application, that in Jesus name the applications are accepted in the Lord’s Will.

I’m trying to find a white binder similar to the one from Vaultx. M looking for white pages and cheap- preferably from Temu or smth similar.

Aaaaaagh dang it man why can’t we just chill 🫩

I (18F) had my birthday a few days ago, my mother’s was the day before. My mother asked me if I’d like to go to a hotel for our bday, but the way she asked is the usual “I want to go but I’m asking you because I also want your opinion” type of ask. Knowing it’s her bday, I accepted. I didn’t want to do much for my bday, knowing we were on a budget and that I just have no hope of a happy birthday, but I thought “why not”, since she was willing to pay and it isn’t my money anyway.

When we arrived at the hotel we spent her birthday pretty well- maybe it wasn’t much, but I gave her a gift she actually liked and she seemed okay and happy.

Then it came to my birthday. We spent time at the hotel amenities (as you would in a hotel), but I was honestly still sad due to the fact that I hated beaches (an amenity), and also the fact that my friends hurt me (that’s a story for another time) and I was alone. In the evening, we went to church, and on the ride back to the hotel I broke down and tried to be honest to my mom. I told her I wanted to go to cheesecake factory for dinner, and to buy my wishlist, and to be at home watching a movie with my family. She just agreed and promised that would happen.

Going to the hotel, we met with family friends, and they had a kid with them. He’s rlly energetic, I love him but he overstimulates me. He wanted to go up the hotel room, I said “yea sure” bc how could u say no to a kid? + the adults were all going up anyway. My dog was with us, and is scared crapless over children, so I tried to defend and deescalate, and it worked but it exhausted me. I ended up spending the rest of my bday night isolated in a room, ordering cheesecake factory bc my parents said it was too late, stressed out over a hyperactive kid while the adults were on the other side chatting till late.

In the end, I ended up relieved it was over, until the adults said the kid would be back at 9AM IN THE MORNING (this was the day after my bday).
I ended up waking up to him, taking care of him the whole time and by the time I had time to myself it was 6pm. I freaked out in the car, I told my parents that my dog was stressed, I was stressed, and that I genuinely tried so hard to hold it in.

In the end I ended up passing out at home, I woke up to dinner but couldn’t help but cry. My mom got pissed off and said “you should be grateful- you’re always complaining” and caused me to spiral and apologize repeatedly, while hitting my head. She ignored me, and went to watch tv right in front of me. She left me there for an hr or more, and in the end my dad had to calm me down.

She now isn’t talking to me or my dad, saying we’re both ungrateful.
All I wanted was to spend money on my wishlist, which was only 23 bucks, stay at home or the hotel room and watch a movie with my family, while studying for an exam.

My dad said to go and forgive her and apologize- but this cycle has been repeating for too long and I’m scared of being hurt again. AITA here?

It’s honestly been ruining my life- I feel like I watch myself making stupid decisions in third person.

I’ve been so anxious that I stopped going to school, and it’s all bc of some dumb drama abt (long story short) someone rolling their eyes at me and simply disliking me.

I push people away because I’m scared of hurting them, to the point where it’s at my own expense.

It was my bday a few days ago, and I ruined it by crying. My mom got mad at me, saying I should be grateful, but I just couldn’t help but cry and get angry- because of that, I didn’t eat, move, I just slept.

I’m so tired of it all- how negatively impactful it is when someone simply dislikes me or gets mad at me. I want it to stop.

Idek where I can go atp- I’m even anxious over some places on reddit.

I don’t understand what I did or do that’s so bad but I really am sorry. I don’t know what else to do but apologize and freeze.

I honestly need more Christian (specifically Catholic but idm rlly) friends. The friends I have aren’t as religious as I am, and I hate to say this bc I love them, but they are super negative. It doesn’t help that they’re going through problems they dug themselves into, and it sucks even more how I’m being influenced by them.

I ended up falling behind my walk with Christ, and I’m just genuinely so tired.

I want to be free- I want to make friends who stick with me till the end and have a love for God that I admire- and even if they’re struggling to just reach out for a prayer or a helping hand.

I have problems at home, and it’s genuinely driving me insane on the pain I feel- I try to remind myself that I have to love my family and that it’s a privilege to experience a fraction of how God felt, but it’s just hurting me being stuck.

I want to go home. I rlly want to go back to God. And I just want friends who can show Gods love every time I forget-
I want Him back.

I’m still young, but dream of entering a digital nomad life- I’ve seen on the web different ways to prepare for this, but I encountered issues and confusion when searching things up (some “hacks” felt contradictory..)- one of them is my visa. I’m new to understanding this (no one rlly taught me abt it), but it’s obvious from a quick search that my visas weak.

The thing is, I have the opportunity to be a student at one of these 3 places: Japan, Hungary, and Italy- So my first question is: Which place would be better as both a step to residency and as a home base (if you could give a scenario for all 3 tho that would be great), and from your experience what felt more comfortable to you?

For my next question is in regard to income- how do you juggle an occupation while still enjoying where you are? And what could be the potential problems to look out for whenever you’re traveling short on money?
