I’m a woman in my mid 20s and am obsessed with nice feet - women’s feet that is. Unfortunately I have some really ugly feeties which leads me to hide them away because I’m EXTREMELY self conscious. I have never even considered getting a pedicure because I just can’t bear the thought of someone looking at/touching my feet, let alone a stranger.

However, I have had friends tell me over the years to get one to improve the look of them. I didn’t really care enough but now I’m dating a guy who likes feet (my worst nightmare but I do really love him).

So my question is - will a pedicure even help the look of my god forbidden feet? Does anyone else have conventionally ugly feet that are transformed by pedicures?

And my other question to just regular people - please tell me you’re not very attentive to other people’s slappers?! I stare at peoples feet CONSTANTLY and have a mental index of every single friend/family members tootsies in my head. So it leads me to think other people are doing the same, however I’m not sure if this is normal.

I had an arthroscopic labrum repair + remplissage on Monday, it’s now Saturday and I have almost full range of motion (besides above my head, can raise my arm to about a salute height) and no pain/weirdness on any angle. I’m going to call my doc + book in for physio on Monday to ask for medical opinions but is this normal? Did anyone have an especially speedy recovery and get their sling off sooner than originally anticipated, or is this just normal progression and I’m blinded by hubris?

Just trying to get some perspective. I’m 28, currently working full-time in retail management and studying full-time, too. I’m about to finish my first year of nursing and hoping to stay working full-time as long as possible because the cost of living is insane. Also feel extremely blessed to even be in a job where I can work uni around my 9-5.

Realistically, I know something has to give soon and hoping to hear some feedback about where other people were at during their degrees. Working part-time? Raising kids? In a longterm career you left to pursue nursing instead? I guess I’m just struggling with having to burn my old life to start the next phase and am hoping to hear that there’s some similar cases that paid off.

Thank you in advance!

I started this degree in hopes of job security and better pay, but all I ever see is how impossible it is to get nursing jobs. I don’t want to fall victim to sunk-cost fallacy and would rather just quit now as opposed to wasting two more years.

Any insight/advice? Has anyone finished their degree and not used it?

I’m desperately after any tips for assignment writing. I honestly cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong but most of my assignments are coming back just over 50% - the best result I’ve gotten was 57%. I’m in second sem of first year.

For context, I did one year of a humanities degree a couple years back and got first in class twice. I didn’t think I would struggle this much with nursing assignments! Is the marking harsh? Is everyone using AI? I always submit my assignments thinking they’re not *stellar* but also not bad enough to warrant a borderline fail. I don’t mind getting just passes but the prospect of failing a whole unit is very daunting + causing me a lot of stress. I want to avoid repeating this situation next semester.

I’m open to literally any tips no matter how obvious or straight forward they may be. The predominant issue that I find while writing is sometimes the prompts/task questions are so basic that it seems easy to hit the points they ask for in the rubric, way beneath the word limit - so I end up going a bit wayward 😅

Thank you so much if you read all this! I probs sound like a moron but appreciate any input ❤️
