Kia ora!
Looking to make some new mates in a similar age group.
I'm into travelling, hiking, painting, art, nature, and exploring new spots. Big fan of getting outdoors and trying new things.
Figured I'd chuck a post up and see who's around 😊
Feel free to dm and say a lil something about yourself as well.
I'm a female in my early 20s looking for people who'd be keen to travel the South Island regularly. I enjoy getting away and exploring new places, but I'm not overly keen on travelling solo all the time.
I'm generally not much of a tramper, but I do enjoy more comfortable outdoor adventures like glamping, scenic road trips, weekend getaways, beach towns, food spots, and relaxing nature escapes and some water sports. Travel costs should be split fairly between everyone going.
I'm happy to join an existing group as well if there's room for another travel buddy.
Feel free to PM me if you're interested or have any trips coming up!
I am so done, I keep on doing this to myself and its so stressful and it takes a toll on my physical and mental health every single time. I just wish I could end this cycle somehow. Sometimes, I try to focus last minute but it doesn't always work because I'll be too stressed in the fear of running out of time.
And no one around me wants to understand me, they just say, just do it, how hard can it be. That's the most annoying thing to hear honestly!
P.s I'm unmedicated and not formally diagnosed yet and I'm doing masters(yes, bachelor’s was hell for me).
With exams coming up soon, I’ve been finding it really difficult to stay motivated and actually get myself to the library to study and focus. Procrastination has always been something I’ve struggled with, and it feels even worse now that exam season is here.
I’ve already tried reaching out through student care and attended some appointments, but unfortunately nothing has really helped me get past this issue. I know I can’t be the only one dealing with this, so I wanted to ask if there are other people on campus who are struggling with something similar.
Are there any study groups, accountability groups, or even just people who would be interested in studying together? I feel like having someone to check in with, work alongside, or keep each other accountable might make a difference.
If you’re in the same boat, feel free to comment or send me a pm. It would be nice to connect with others who can relate and maybe figure out a way to tackle this together.
Good luck to everyone with their exams!
My partner and I are long distance and looking for new online games to play together.
We don't really enjoy traditional video games,we usually play UNO, Ludo, Chess and Scrabble GO, and those have been our favorites. We've tried a few other games, but most get repetitive fast or just aren't as fun.
We're looking for games that:
- Can be played online from different locations
- Are easy to learn
- Have good replay value so we won't get bored quickly
- Preferably mobile-friendly
We're open to card games, board games, word games, trivia, strategy games, or anything similar.
For anyone in a long-distance relationship, what games have kept you coming back for months? We'd love some recommendations.
I’m an F in my early 20s and at uni, but honestly finding it kinda hard to meet people I really click with. I’m not really into partying, drinking, or smoking, so it feels a bit harder to find my crowd. I love exploring new places and cafes, cooking, painting and artsy stuff, gym sessions, Netflix/movie binge nights, music, random deep chats, and just chill walks on the beach or spontaneous adventures. I’d love to meet some easygoing people to grab coffee with, study together at the library, play games, explore places, or just vibe and talk about life. Where do people usually meet like-minded friends outside of party scenes, or the classroom? Any advice would be appreciated :)
Hey everyone! I’m 24F and currently looking to meet some new people from the University of Canterbury 😊
I’ve tried joining a few clubs, but I haven’t really found one that clicks with me yet. So I thought I’d give this a go instead!
A bit about me:
-Love going out and exploring new places
-Cooking
-Painting/art stuff
-Gym sessions
-Netflix binge nights
-Not a party animal/drinker/smoker
Would be awesome to find some chill people to hang out with, grab coffee, study together at the library, or just vibe and talk about life. Always open to making genuine friendships 💛
Feel free to message me if you think we’d get along! Kindly note, when sending me a message, tell me a little bit about yourself :)
I moved to a new country this February for my master’s degree, and I feel like I’m falling apart.
I’ve struggled throughout my entire education journey. It took me years to finish my bachelor’s because of constant academic struggles and procrastination. I only got through because my partner studied with me and kept me motivated. Now we’re long-distance, and I’m completely alone.
I’m struggling to make friends, keep up with assignments, and function normally. I’m unmedicated, and getting diagnosed here is expensive. My parents don’t believe mental disorders are real, so they refuse to support it.
I reached out to university support services for help with routines and accountability, but I’ve tried similar things before and nothing changed. I still can’t stay consistent or focus unless there’s intense pressure.
This master’s program is overwhelming. Multiple assignments are due at once, tests are packed together, and I know my last minute hyperfocus approach won’t survive here. Every day I wake up feeling like a failure. I go to the library planning to study and come back having done nothing, and feel blank in lectures.
The worst part is realizing I don’t even enjoy this degree. I only did it to leave my country and start over somewhere new. But my tuition is already paid, and as an international student, I can’t just quit.
I feel isolated, exhausted, and broken. Watching other students study at the library normally makes me want to cry right at the spot.
I moved to a new country this February to start my master’s degree, and I honestly feel like I’m falling apart. I’ve struggled academically my entire life procrastination, inconsistent focus, last-minute panic, failing classes, changing courses. I eventually finished my bachelor’s, but mostly because my partner studied with me and kept me motivated.
Now we’re long-distance, and I’m completely alone here. I’m struggling to keep up with assignments, make friends, and function normally. I don’t even have a job, but my studies alone already feel overwhelming.
I’m unmedicated and I have known I have ADHD since high school, but getting diagnosed is expensive, and my parents don’t believe mental health issues are real. I once tried getting diagnosed in a uni clinic but had to leave it halfway through but I was told I may have both types. I’ve reached out to uni student support services, but I’ve tried routines and accountability systems before and nothing ever worked.
The workload here is intense, multiple deadlines at once, constant pressure, everything compressed together. The only way I’ve ever managed to get things done is through last-minute hyperfocus, but I know that probably won’t work anymore. Most days I go to the library intending to study as I zone out in lectures and return having achieved nothing.
I don’t even think I enjoy this degree. I mainly chose it because I wanted to leave my home country and start over somewhere new. My tuition is already paid, and I can’t just quit and go back.
I am also struggling to make friends and I've always had issues it that in the past, but now it's way worse, I barely talk to anyone and I talk way too much to the littlest attention I get everytime I do talk to someone, I feel like I may never make friends.
I feel isolated, exhausted, and constantly ashamed of myself. Watching everyone else study and function normally while I struggle to do basic tasks makes me want to cry right on the spot. I don’t know what to do anymore.
