i’m currently studying bachelors degree (textiles degree, i know very useless), graduating on spring, wanted to go continue my studies somewhere abroad (preferably east asia, since i traveled there), but it seems like the options are pretty limited when it comes to english programs. i used to study both mandarin and korean, so i’m thinking of enrolling to language school in either of these countries just to gain a new skill, but honestly don’t know which one to choose.. i’ve been to china before and honestly mandarin flows better for me, but hesitant to go due to political stuff. my korean, however is not that strong.. did any of you study there just for this reason? please share your experiences and opinions..

i’m honestly stuck between those too.. i’m currently searching for gym clothes, especially good shorts for lifting, but can’t seem to decide between these two brands. gymshark honestly has really good prices sometimes, quality seems pretty okay too, they also accept returns, but it seems like nvgtn shorts are next level when it comes to design and color choices. which one would you recommend more?

i used to study art restoration, since i’ve always felt deeply interested in heritage and cultural artefacts, but unfortunately i ended up leaving because i felt extremely disappointed by the studies. i would have went for archeology later, but ended up changing majors (now in textile design), and i’m not sure if i will ever have a chance going to archeology for masters again.. i have some experience when it comes to cultural artefacts preservation and restoration, including a lot of textile techniques, but is it really possible to get into archeology after this? i feel like these two fields are not really related, and it makes me have some doubts. not sure if this is a right subreddit for this, but tell me what you think.

i had scapula winging pretty much my entire life and working out barely made it look better. my back definitely has more muscle mass now and feels less tight but i really cannot seem to get rid of it.. are there any exercises you could recommend or it all comes down to genetics?

i’ve been studying both chinese and korean and i consider myself as a beginner in both of those but i really can’t seem to decide which language i should focus on for now. chinese is generally an easy language for me, but i really struggle with tones. korean is so much more difficult when it comes to grammar, it makes the learning process not that fun, but i love the way it sounds. i’m also deeply interested in korean history, which kind of motivates me to learn it even more.

i’m planning to use one of these languages in the future, but not sure which one will be more useful, since im slowly becoming more and more interested in diplomacy. should i just focus on both if i really can’t choose? what do you recommend?

i’m finishing up my bachelors degree in textile design and i was wondering whether textile engineering is a good career option? does anyone work there?

i’m about to graduate from textiles design and i genuinely feel like it’s the most useless degree ever. i live in a small country and we have no job opportunities related to that here whatsoever, i’d probably most likely end up working in a warehouse. i was planning on continuing pursuing my further education in accessory/jewellery design, but i feel like it’s not a very safe degree since i might end up in a minimum wage job again. i believe i could become an independent designer with my own business but i barely have any experience in that and not enough works, so i wanna stick to something more safe for now. right now i’m thinking of going to trade school instead and learn new skills that i could use in the future but i don’t know which option is the safest and would actually help me to survive. any thoughts?

i grew up in an artist family, also being an artist myself, and i genuinely don’t know what to do about my career. i was studying arts my whole life, but not too long ago realised that i don’t want to specialise in one particular area, i love creating anything and everything: could be art, music, dancing. i’m also deeply interested in scenography and movie creation. i feel like this is both a blessing and a curse because i genuinely don’t know how to make career out of this. i always switch between things, and instead of drilling deep into one narrow topic, i want to build a wide range of skills across multiple areas. this is genuinely so difficult to explain, but what do you do in this situation? i feel incredibly lost as an artist.

i loved these, looking for classical, self-improvement and positive thinking related literature.

- The alchemist (Paulo Coelho)
- Sidhhartha (Hermann Hesse)
- Jonathan Livingston Seagull (Richard Bach)

i always had painful cramps, i’d take about 2 ibuprofen pills every month, but it has gotten so bad to the point where i have to take about 5-6 now (i take it every 8 hours). one day it was so bad that i woke up at around 3 am and had to crawl to the kitchen on all fours, so that i could take painkillers. im genuinely so sick of this, i feel like i cannot live like a normal person because it’s even more difficult when you’ve got work. is it supposed to be this painful? i wish there was a way..
