i'm currently undecided on where i want to go on college between Canada and Singapore
Canada:
-i would go to to either mcgill or ottawa
-i already have relatives there so it's easier to settle down there
-it's more interesting as a country and i assume it's degrees are well acknowledged internationally possibly more than Singapore's
however living expenses and tuition fees are very expensive
Singapore:
- i would go to NUS
-i can apply for tuition grant there
-it's citizenship is easier to get 2 years compared to Canada's 4-5
i'm currently leaning towards Singapore but i'm not sure about NUS i know nothing about it as a college and i'm not sure how easy it is to get a job in Singapore afterwords
let me know if there are other things i missed or i should know
P.S i'm law student international law to be specific let me know if this poses an advantage or disadvantage in either of the countries

I know plenty of Canucks into law that found cushy jobs teaching at colleges, if that helps.
I'll honestly try to help more if you can take some time and feed me data:
Where are you leaving from?
What language(s) do you speak?
Which of the two cultures would you say you're most acclimated/used to?
How long is the program?
What is your financial situation?
Singapore is very multicultural, but so is Canada meaning both will give you a chance to experience alternate cultures.
I've heard that having a car is much cheaper in Canada (supposedly you need government authorization to park your car in your own garage) and they sometimes get pollution pass-over from neighboring industrial nations.
I've heard that education in Canada can be extremely expensive for foreign students.
>>17455093
>supposedly you need government authorization to park your car in your own garage
I live in Montreal (where McGill is located) and have never heard of this. You do need a vignette to park on the street, tho.
Where are you from?
Speaking as a Canadian, Canada's a pretty relaxed social climate. Singapore is anything but.
this girl ive been talking to for almost 2 years texts me good morning and goodnight everyday for more than a year now... why? she said she liked me but that was a really long time ago.
Go to her place now
Open her mouth
Insert your dick
DoitdoitdoitdoitDoitdoitdoitdoitDoitdoitdoitdoitDOITDOITDOITDOITDOIT
>>17454685
Well, do you like her?
She probably still likes you senpai. Have a heart to heart with her. Then a dick to mouth, dick to between titties, etc.
So how do you get over wanting to text and have conversations with a girl that you really like and will never be able to get with but she is your friend still. Like I have to fight myself everyday not to text her because I know it'll get annoying but I just want to forget about my feelings for her and move on. She is literally always in my thoughts and I just cant stop thinking about her.
>>17454672
Bump
>>17454672
Why can't you ever get with her?
>>17454721
Lot of reasons
>Out of my league
>She's been in 4 relationships to my 0
>Dated one of my friends before
And alot more on top of that
Long story short, I need a job that can support me AKA pay my rent, food and other expenses while I save up money to fix my credit and go to college. I currently work part time at a grocery store. I'm physically fit, pretty smart, capable of learning quick. What's the best job for me? I was thinking construction for starters, but I don't know.
>>17454667
Warehousing, truck driving, oil (if available), and fishing will make you a ton of money and are aimed at people like you.
>>17454709
I live on the East Coast. I know fishing is popular on the West Coast, not so sure about here. Gonna look for warehouses, should I google "warehouses near me" or is there a better way to find a warehouse gig?
Will also consider trucking, no oil nearby
>>17454792
If you live on the coast then there's foshing available. I'm talking about spending months at sea, not just going to the docks everyday.
A good start is to look for Amazo warehouse since they're hiring the most and all you're doing is handling small stuff most of the time. You could try going to a temp agency/recruiter to see if they know of any warehousing gigs if you're having trouble. But that shouldn't be the case.
I'm not too familiar with trucking but I just know it's always an option as well (assuming you have a good driving record).
/adv/ please help me. I'm in a motel for only one more week, I have literally 28 cents to my name, my parents cut me off and no one is fucking hiring near me. I need money but I don't know what to do or where to start. I have some wifi in my room so I'm able to look for work online and I signed up for this online survey shit but it feels like all that's happening is I'm just signing up for more and more spam emails. I used to sell bars and weed but I can't even start doing that again because tfw not even $10 to my name. Help me I'm only 19 I'm hungry as fuck this shit sucks
Bump
No one ?
How sexy are you on a scale of 1 - 10? You could start cam whoring.
How do you make your own Micronation, guys?
Pic related, the flag of the nation.
Can I join?
>>17454648
Kek, maybe.
Is it the official dubs-checking nation? Can I become a citizen?
My dream is to live and work abroad in some nice city in Europe (I'm American), but I may have run into an obstacle. As it turns out, I have a near 0% chance of getting into my "dream school", which is extremely well-reputed, albeit selective, and instead can only make it into the state school, which is less celebrated but still quite good.
Will this affect my chances at a foreign job at all? Do they ever consider the difference between two American schools like that, or are they fine with anything as long as it's a non-shit school? I want to know if I should be worried or not. The schools are Georgia Tech and UGA, by the way.
No, only grades and hardworking
>>17454896
So foreign companies don't care about the school your degree is from?
>>17454646
Get into whatever college you can. Get really good grades. Apply to transfer to your dream school as a Junior.
Today's my birthday. A hoe wished me a happy birthday in a very effusive way (my name with tons of vowels, heart emojis, how's life going and shit) and after I replied she took a long time to text back and was quite concise. What did she mean by this?
>>17454643
happy birthday, fag. dunno, what is your deal with her?
>>17454654
I think we're both a bit into each other, but we've never gotten to anywhere due to unoportunous contingencies.
We were kinda friends since highschool ended; not a real friendship tho, we didn't use to talk through Whatsapp or shit but we met once every two months for beers or something. I stopped contacting her one year ago. She texted me a few times like "hey how's life it has been ages!", but we never arranged a meeting. At june she texted me again in that mood and mentioned that she was going to Europe to stay there during the whole next year (studiew shit) and it would be cool to meet some times in the summer. I said OK, we met, everything was cool but we didn't make out. She said she'd like to meet again after a travel (she had to go the day after), I said ok. She came back from her travel, I asked her out, she said she was busy, she texted me for a meeting some days after but I was busy and I went on a travel a couple days after. And then this happened.
This shit's pretty long, sorry.
Is it normal to feel like the people I click with are never attracted to me and the people who are attracted to me I never click with?
It's possible that you lose interest after all the mystery of them fades away and you find out they're just normal people instead of the saints you imagined them to be.
>>17454649
If that were the case nobody would have relationships ever. I'm not sure you even understood my question.
>>17454657
Did I say that it applied to all people?
How can I quit vaping?
I'm absolutely addicted to nicotine, and I was vaping up to 45mg. I've lowered myself to just an Ecig I get at the gas station, but every time I try to quit the cravings become in bearable. It's all I think about 24/7. I can't find in myself a good reason to quit. I'm honestly not worried about health or anything, it's just I waste so much money on it. But I cannot stop, regardless of how hard I try. Have any of you others overcame this? Using less mg juice isn't an option as I can't afford a vape and personally refuse to buy one.
>>17454638
I quit cigarettes by switching to e-cigs and was smoking about 40-50mg a day. I've been using Nicorette chewing gum for the last 2 years to get off the fuxking e-cigs. Down to around 8 pieces of 2mg gum per day now. Fucking vaping and e-cigs only make the nicotine addiction worse than smoking tobacco. Few people would chain smoke cigarettes all day but it's just too easy when vaping to literally smoke all day long.
>all my friends smoke cigarettes
>i smoke weed
>they smoke weed too
>think its weird that I don't smoke cigarettes the same.
>>17454638
Have you tried DIYing e-liquid? It's ~10 times cheaper than buying from stores (at least here) and very easy to do. And easy to control your nic % too. I went down from 18mg to 4mg in 1,5 years.
Keep strong and don't give up fagget.
>>17454806
>Few people would chain smoke cigarettes all day but it's just too easy when vaping to literally smoke all day long.
that's why you pick a liquid with nic % that you can puff on all day and not get too much nicotine delivered.
I start my major in Mathematics at a community college this fall. What should I do to be admitted to Harvard as a transfer?
>>17454635
Straight A's, impressive personal essay/achievements/awards/extra curricular activities. It's not impossible but it is extremely difficult. However I know people who have gone to CC's and then transferred to really good schools (top 40 in the world), and I am one of them myself.
Best of luck anon, don't let anyone tell you you can't do it.
Nepotism and or other connections. Do you go to a Mass community college? Also why would you want to go to a school like Harvard?
>>17454666
This as well pretty much. I'm curious as to why you want to go to Harvard so badly anyway. Honestly if math is your thing I would suggest MIT being just as good if not better.
Im the biggest dipshit when it comes to tech stuff.
>about to go to college
>free wifi in dorms
>just plug hdmi cord into wall for magic wizard shit
>buy hdmi cord for laptop
>realize i need wifi for phone and tv
>go out and buy router
>look online and says i need modem
>wtf is a modem?
do i need this for wireless interwebs? What do i do? I dont want to spend a shit ton for a modem. I havent opened the box yet so i can always just return it
>>17454628
Baby bump
>>17454628
Shit i meant ethernet cable instead of hdmi
If you already have a ethernet socket on the wall, you don't need a modem, only a routeur. Just plug it, and plug your laptop on it, easy.
So, here's my problem, anons.
I'm in my thirties, have an awesome life, marriage, own my own house, etc.
I'm eight weeks pregnant, and I have been waiting to tell anyone until I am out of the first trimester (14 weeks).
Honestly, I am dreading telling my parents and family because they are dysfunctional and crazy as fuck. However, as morning sickness (which is really all-day sickness) gets worse it is becoming harder to hide my pregnancy.
I'm going to be visiting my crazy dad and stepmom this weekend, and I don't think I can hide the fact that I'm throwing up all the time.
Should I just break down and tell them?
We live in a small town, and once my parents know, everyone will know, including my coworkers, neighbors, etc. because they are huge gossips like that.
also FYI I might be headed into work for an hour or two but I will be back to check on the thread later periodically
>>17454604
Just get it over with
Don't wear a burden that is so easily thrown off
>>17454604
>Honestly, I am dreading telling my parents and family because they are dysfunctional and crazy as fuck.
Then maybe you shouldn't. Cutting contact wouldn't be a bad idea either, depending on the type of crazy you're dealing with. Stress isn't good during pregnancy.
OP here. I've set a lot of boundaries around seeing my parents already, but cutting off contact completely seems unlikely.
So I decided to rip the bandaid off and told them when they called this afternoon.
My stepmom reacted sort of positively. Just kind of "Oh, OK, well good for you. Have fun with that. I'll knit it some booties or something"
My dad literally started mumbling "I don't want to hear this... I don't want to hear this..." and when I said I was pregnant he yelled "That's awful! AWFUL...I mean...congratulations? I guess? fuck I hate women..." and dropped the phone and wandered off.
So now I guess I get to deal with my Dad's bizarre rage reaction.
Raging, drinking, and crying for a week was also how he reacted to me getting into college (which I paid for), getting my first job, and moving out...so...I guess not unexpected. I just can't quite fathom why it happens.
Anyway thanks anon >>17454617 for giving me the push at least the problem won't weigh on my mind anymore.
Do you people just randomly pick a girl that looks fuckable and start a relationship? Don't you believe in that special someone? Am i stupid for believing that?
>>17454588
No one is special.
Everyone is capable of love.
If you don't believe in your heart that people are capable of love, you are woefully incorrect.
>>17454588
>Do you people just randomly pick a girl that looks fuckable and start a relationship?
No. Attraction can't make up for compatibility, although it certainly helps. I have high standards for friends and that's typically who I end up dating. It worked out perfectly the second time around.
>Don't you believe in that special someone?
There is no such thing as a soul mate, only people with varying degrees of compatibility. Anyone with really high compatibility can be your special someone.
>>17454616
>>17454612
but how do you meet girls?
like i understand how to talk and be friendly but you can only try to hit up certain girls lest you deal with an awkward situation on the daily ie work or school
>bars and clubs not an option for 18 year olds
>live with abusive parents and need to get away
>live in the fucking woods miles from town
>no license or car
>parents won't drive me
>so can't get a job to get away
>no friends or family so nobody to help me
how do I escape this hell? I live in america.
how old are u?
How old are you for starters.
Secondly ask yourself which is worse, living with your parents or going homeless for a while?
>>17454560
19. living with my parents, i'd say.
