I don’t really know how to explain this but I feel like there’s always a little sadness inside me literally almost every day... It’s not necessarily because something bad is happening in my life either

I’m a VERY emotional person especially when it comes to love and relationships.. I love the idea of genuinely loving someone and having that deep connection between two people but whenever I actually fall in love, sometimes I’ll just cry because I love them so much?? Like nothing even has to be wrong and i can be thinking about how much I love that person and suddenly feel this overwhelming sadness, emotion in my chest

Sometimes even seeing really loving relationships or thinking deeply about love makes me emotional
Does anyone else experience this? Why does something that makes me happy also make me feel weirdly sad at the same time?
If not, that's alright i js wanna share

السلام عليكم
الله يحفظكم انا دفعة 2026 ودرجة الآيلتس عندي 7.5، وبإذن الله ناوية أقدم على الابتعاث في يناير

بس عندي كم استفسار بخصوص آلية المفاضلة لأني الصراحة متخوفة شوي من موضوع الرفض، انا ناوية أقدم على هندسة ميكانيكية وبحاول أقدم على أكثر من جامعة من جامعات مسار الرواد لكن خايفة ما يجيني قبول منها وأضطر أعتمد على إمداد

الفترة الأخيرة أشوف كثير يقولون إن جالسة تجيهم رسائل رفض في إمداد بسبب المفاضلة وقلة المقاعد، فودي أعرف من اللي عنده تجربة أو يعرف بشكل أكيد لو بس شي واخد عن هذي الاسئلة🙏🏻

كيف تتم المفاضلة بالضبط؟
وعلى أي أساس يفضلون متقدم عن الثاني؟
كم مرة أقدر أقدم على الابتعاث خلال السنة؟
وهل فيه حد لعدد القبولات اللي أقدر أرفعها؟ يعني لو قدمت على 10 جامعات وجاني قبول من أكثر من 3 أقدر أرفعهم كلهم ولا الحد 3 فقط؟
وهل اضمن قبولي لما الجامعات الي قبلتني ترتيبها تحت 60؟

واللي ابتعث قريب او مر بنفس التجربة ياليت يفيدني خصوصًا في تخصصات الهندسة

الله يوفقكم وشاكرة لكم🙏🏻

Heyyy! I’m an 18F from KSA and I’m hoping to meet some people who are actually looking for a real friendship, not someone to talk to for three days and then disappear 😭

I’m currently studying engineering (Oria) and hopefully next year I’ll be studying in the USA

I love watching YouTube, listening to music, and watching movies sometimes, although I’m honestly not a huge movie person lol, I also play video games sometimes and guess what… I play Roblox💀 It’s just easier and I don’t have to take it too seriously🙂‍↕️

I have a lot of random hobbies too, I love painting, reading, and making random creative things. I’m also really interested in aviation! I’m still a beginner and definitely don’t understand everything yet but it's my first love in my childhood and I’ve been learning about it lately and it’s actually really interesting

And I LOVE YAPPING, Like a lot😭 I love random conversations, talking about our day, sending each other stupid things we found, deep conversations, joking around, literally anythingggg

I’m mainly looking for a serious long term friendship and I don’t expect us to talk 24/7 but I do want someone who actually puts effort into the friendship and doesn’t randomly disappear after a few days

If you think we’d get along js DM me! Tell me a little about yourself too
Maybe we’ll become best friends, who knows? :)

Ages: 18-25

GUYS!!! I really do love my handsome boyfriend!!!! oh yeah ik we js knew each other and fell in love but honestly… I don’t even know how to explain ittttt

It’s like I didn’t just meet someone I liked I met someone who somehow feels so familiar to meeee like I can be completely myself with him and never feel like I have to pretend or act a certain way! He became the person I wanna tell everything to even the dumbest little things that nobody else would care about

And the way he makes me feel loved?? Ohhh God I really didn’t know I could feel this attached to someone.... Sometimes I’ll just sit there thinking about him and be like "damnnnnnn.. that's MY MAN!!!"

I know people might think we’re crazy for falling this hard this fast... and maybe we are lol(:b) but I don’t really careeeeee I’d rather have something that feels this real than spend my time trying to convince myself I shouldn’t feel it

I just really hope he knows that behind every "I love you honeybee" and every stupid little message I send him there’s a girl who genuinely feels so LUCKY that she found him🥹❤️

Likeeee out of all the people in this huge world somehow we found each other!!! And honestly? I wouldn’t trade that for anything <3

I love my honeybee super duper much💗💗💗

Guyssss I’m literally about to lose it! I have SO much tea to spill and I just need to yap, rant, and make up absolute nonsense to anyone who will listen, It’s bad (my friends cant handle my yapping cuz they are SO FAKE FRIENDS)

And let’s be real I need VOICE CHANNELS or one whos love talking but not text all the time I’m far too lazy to type, and honestly my vocal cords haven't been used in so long they're starting to rust

Things im not into:

1. Games
2. I don't know much about movies and series
3. The one who disappears for days
4. Heavy joking
5. Who wants to know what I look like in first 3-4 months

Things I'm into:

1. Talkative person
2. The one who loves to joke and have fun
3. The one who shares the silliest things ever
4. Be yourself don't act.

I'm from Saudi Arabia and interested in international friends + i'm getting ready to study abroad + sometimes I don't know what to say and not be that's funny tbh :(

If you're around my age and think we'd vibe dm me :)
Your gender + where are you from + your age (17-24) + short intro about you ;)

So please, hit me up! Waiting to find an amazing friends!

I got an 8 in Listening and a 7.5 in Writing and Speaking (didn't test it yet), but guess what? I got a 5.0 in Reading!!! 😭 (it's a mock test)

Can someone please help me bump up this score? While taking the test, I noticed that I couldn't understand the passage at all, even though I understood the questions

I really struggle with True / False / Not Given questions and basically start pulling answers out of thin air... I got 15/40 I think ;(

Hey everyone, I wrote this study plan for myself and would love to get your feedback on it XD

Listening:
Mistakes: During the test, you might be focusing on one question but you miss it, which makes you lose focus and easily miss 3 more questions. Also, spelling mistakes

Solution: When practicing listening, whether using Cambridge books 18 to 21 or the Official Guide, always play the audio at 1.25x speed. Train on it no matter how fast it is, so when you take the test with normal audio, it feels easy. After finishing, if you notice spelling mistakes or words you don't know, write them down about 10 times, say them out loud, and use them in sentences until you master them, instead of just writing them once. Finally, open the audio script and write down the reason you chose the answer for each question based on the script

Resources:
IELTS Listening practice test on YouTube.
The last two sections of the test are the hardest.
Section 3 is usually a conversation with an audience like a TED Talk, so watch those on YouTube.
Section 4 is about people interrupting each other (a debate), so watch debates on YouTube

Reading:
Mistakes: Reading the text to try to understand the whole passage, and spending 5 minutes on True/False/Not Given questions trying to make sure if it exists or not

Solution: Dedicate 60 seconds to read the questions, underline keywords, think of synonyms, and scan the text until you find what the question refers to. If you can't find the question in the text, then it simply doesn't exist (Not Given)

Resources: Cambridge books 18-21. It is preferred to study 20-21 since there is not much time, as they are the newest

Writing:
Honestly, at first, I thought I needed complex academic vocabulary (you do need it and should study it), but everyone who took the IELTS and got a 7+ said that it is enough for your writing to be organized and free of spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes. They all confirmed this method is suitable:
Paragraph 1: A sentence about the topic and your opinion + explain the reasons + write a real-life example + link the example to your opinion.
Paragraph 2 (if you have another supporting idea): Another sentence about the topic and your opinion + (same as paragraph 1).
Conclusion: Re-state your opinion in different words and do not add any new ideas.
Resources: Write daily and let AI like Gemini or ChatGPT proofread it for you as if they are IELTS writing examiners. Also, watch YouTube.

Speaking:
Mistakes: Freezing up, not knowing what to say, and taking too long to think

Solution: Treat the examiner like a close friend, but one who only accepts academic language. You don't have to tell the truth, just lie to them. Many people use the OREO framework, which is:
Opinion - Reason - Example - Opinion (re-stated).
For example:
O/ In my view, public transport should be entirely free.
R/ This is because it significantly reduces carbon emissions in busy city centers.
E/ For instance, cities like Tallinn have seen a massive drop in traffic jams after making buses free.
O/ Therefore, the ecological benefits far outweigh the financial costs

Resources: IELTS Daily on YouTube to watch people taking mock tests and notice their speaking style, speed, and body language (it makes a huge difference).

Hey everyone,

I really need some guidance. My IELTS exam will be scheduled between August 15th and September 1st (which gives me about a month and a half)

My current level is a 5.5, and my goal is to boost my score by 1.5 to 2 bands (targeting a 7.0 or 7.5)

Honestly, I'm feeling incredibly overwhelmed and scattered right now. I have all the prep books and resources I could possibly need, but I don't know how to structure my study plan or what the most effective method is to make this jump in such a short timeframe

How should I organize my daily routine with only 6 weeks left?

Since I already have a 5.5, what areas should I focus on most to bridge the gap to a 7.0+?

How can I make the most of my prep books without burning out?

Any study schedules, tips, or advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you all so much in advance! 🙏🏻
