Has anyone done the Career Discover Mentoring Program twice?

I'm really enjoying the program, but I think I want to do it one more time. While I'm at uni, I want to try and make as many professional connections as possible. Plus, I don't know anyone in my personal life who's going into my field, so I want to get more perspectives.

Has anyone else done it more than once before? If yes, did you find it valuable?

AI slop on the rise in cafes?

This monstrosity was spotted in a cafe in St Leonards 🤢 this is like the 3rd AI-generated food image I’ve seen in a cafe this week. Surely an amateur photo is more appealing than whatever this is?

ADHD university/college content on social media is making me lose my mind

Here’s 3 examples of discrete AI or productivity app advertisements. I found these examples in the first minute of searching “adhd study”.

I’ve literally been having the worst, most soul-crushing and burnout-inducing year of my fucking life because of my ADHD symptoms. Sometimes finding other ADHDers talking about their experiences at uni or college can make me feel less alone, and like less of a failure. Hearing the advice and tips that people give in online ADHD communities have helped me so many times.

But there’s nothing more frustrating than trying to find connection & support, and being met with nothing but:
- people trying to sell you their course or coaching service
- undisclosed (or disclosed in the fine print) AI or useless “productivity app” advertisements
- influencers that toooootaalllyyy have ADHD giving the most useless, basic bitch “study hacks”. they use the exact same script, the exact same cadence, and are always playing with slime or some random object

Am I crazy for getting so angry at this? Having ADHD sucks enough, and having ADHD while in uni or college sucks even harder. I’m just so sick of people trying to make money off of us, and making it harder to find content that isn’t slop.

How often are you expected to talk to a new gf?

Sorry i know the title makes me sound like a robot, i couldn’t think of a different way to phrase it 😭

Im basically trying to figure out how much time a relationship actually takes up. Like when you first start dating a girl, how often are you usually texting/calling/seeing each other?

Obviously every relationship is different, im just trying to work out if i realistically have enough time for one right now or if id end up not giving someone enough attention.

And i guess more generally, at what point do you stop waiting for your life to be “perfect” before you start dating and just… start dating

What assessment format do you prefer?

I used to hate in-person tests & only wanted to do hand-in assessments. But i’m ngl, i’ve realised that i actually prefer to do in-person tests bc you can just get it over and done with. With hand-in assessments the suffering gets prolonged

Anyone know when course offerings for 2028 will be released?

The switch to semesters is great because trimesters suck ass, but I'm also stressing because it means I can't fully plan my course progression. I'm doing an unconventional course progression, so having this info early as possible would be great, but there's not a lot of info online.

Has anyone heard anything about when/how info about the 2028 offerings will be released? If they're released in late 2027 im actually going to become ceiling decoration I NEED TO PLAN

does MyPlan barely work for anyone else?

maybe i’m a chophoe who’s doing it wrong but i stg every time i try to use MyPlan it’s glitchy as fuck and makes it abysmally unclear whether or not a course i’ve picked for a particular term ACTUALLY is the ideal course progression.

what makes it a bit more complicated is that I’m planning on doing 2 courses a term until semmies come back, where i’ll do 3 courses a sem. Im also in the process of getting prior learning approved, which will hopefully slice 12 UOC for free electives & 12 UOC for general education off my graduation requirements.

Plus they’ve released basically no info about course offerings for 2028 🥲😔 so planning ahead is basically impossible fml

anyways long ahh post aside ✌️💔 any commiseration/advice/sympathy would be appreciated bros
