Weighing in on the "girl drama". Yeah if you're hanging out with girls and there is "always drama" its literally just because you're hanging out with dramatic people. I grew up with mostly girl friends, no drama. My sister had mostly girl friends, always drama. My brothers had mostly boy friends one had drama one didnt. If you notice you're friends are always starting stuff or getting involved in petty fights, consider what that says about you and why you're hanging around them. If you think its annoying that theres always petty fighting in your inner circle find a new circle. Like? whatever you're bonding over with dramatic or petty people, is probably dramatic and petty.

@herzen9857 2 жыл бұрын

Exactly! I remember not getting involved in stupid drama a lot because i just avoided those girls. Unfortunately i was friends with a toxic girl, who was only friends with immature and dramatic girls, for a while. That's the only time i got involved with any sort of "drama". Then i found a better friend group and i haven't experienced any drama. The most "drama" we've had is when we un-invited a guy to hang out with us and he threatened one of us with "you do know that i know where you live". (Tbh i dont feel very bad for him because he's questionable and i felt so uncomfortable and unsafe around him. Idk why he even got invited in the first place). So yeah. Gotta find the right people to befriend.

Accountant here… as someone who loves my job and has seen many friends graduate to only hate their jobs here is my advice: A degree is only as good as the jobs it can get you; if you don’t like any of the jobs the degree can get you, then the degree is worthless. Also, don’t get a degree for the paycheck… you probably won’t enjoy it and end up doing something else.

Hawaii is the same way. There's random people and volunteer groups that actually take care of some of the colonies to try to limit the reproduction, disease, and harm they cause to the local wildlife and environment. A common trait is for the cats to have kinks in their tails, my cats kinky tail is like a hook which thankfully doesn't hurt him and is very cute. He's also the greatest ever! He acts like a dog in almost every way except pooping and peeing outside but thankfully his CatGenie is there to deal with that so it's he's even easier than my actual dogs. He loves everyone, every new animal, and loves to travel. He's a Hawaiian street cat living a very pampered life.

I’m a 17 year old from Tassie who’s father is this really weird guy who owns a museum and made his money gambling, it’s very weird to me that he exists as some sort of ‘celebrity’ outside of Tasmania, let alone in bloody Canada. By the way the man you referred to’s name is Tim, he sits completely still all day long every day for half the year. And we’ve never had an exhibition on nail polish.

@mellifluous_victoria 2 жыл бұрын

@@VamLoveAndKisses That’s a good point. But that doen’t negate that being socially or physcially aggressive depends on how the person was socialized. :) Men being prone to physical aggression and women being prone to social aggression could be because men are usually encouraged to be aggressive while women are usually encouraged to be meek (obviously there’s cultural differences and my perspective is limited!). My point is just that it’s not innate. :)

Wait a second here. I feel the need to defend Edmonton as I have lived here since I was 6. ( born in Grande Prairie ) We actually have a thriving arts scene and many international events and tours include us as a stop. The river valley downtown is the largest natural area of urban parkland anywhere in Canada. West Edmonton Mall is still a huge draw as one of the larger shopping centres in the world. I also appreciate how many community leagues we have here and the generosity of other locals in donating to various charities as well as our local foodbank. There is also a wonderful diversity of cultures. We are sometimes know as festival city and have a wide variety year round. I could go on. 😊

As someone who is about to finish a PhD in ag/environmenal chemistry, I would like to note that the issue with opportunity cost is not true for all fields. I have acquired a ton of experience and have advanced myself in my field throughout my PhD. On resumes Im actually allowed to write that I have 5 years of experience, because at least in my field, every year in your PhD counts as work experience. Ive made contributions to my field, have made connections in industry, government and academia. That being said, I also love research (although I don't intend on staying in academia) and am here purely because its so cool I get to do research and get a degree and get paid. I cant imagine doing anything else. But just saying, I am benefiting professionally from this.

I took a class that I was really excited about (mathematical modeling of neurons, I was a neuro major) despite not having the prerequisites, but I kept showing up to office hours (and class, attendance wasn’t mandatory), put in the effort to do an extra credit assignment and at the end of the semester I approached him to join his research, which later led to him introducing me to/getting me a spot on a practical neuro lab team. I also then got a spot working with that professor as a grader for a different math class of his the next semester so I got a few extra bucks a week out of it too. If I hadn’t gone to those office hours I wouldn’t have had the research experience needed to get hired when I graduated! Also, if you’re confused about topics it can really help to chat with them one-on-one to get further clarity!

I really wish I heard someone talk this openly about moving out and starting uni when I was going through that change. I started uni four years ago in a city "only" two hours from my home. To save time on commuting, I found a room for rent in that city, and all that change plus added stress situations my peers didn't have to deal with made me spiral into a severe depressive episode. Because I was the only child in our family to go to uni and had no older friends who've been through this to talk to, I felt so alone and isolated. Just hearing Matt say "it does get better, I promise" kind of warmed my heart. On another note, the vast majority of people I met at uni either switched their majors (some within the first week, some after a year.) It is SO common for people in their late teens/early twenties to still be unsure about their path in life. My boyfriend absolutely hated uni and the program he chose, so he quit after one semester. He felt like a disappointment for not going to uni, but now he works at a coffee shop/roastery and he's happier than ever. If someone in their teens who's anxious about the future is reading right now, lemme tell you - life has a strange way of figuring itself out, it's a lot of ups and downs but with time you'll understand that you're exactly where you need to be as long as you don't give up. Okay, enough of my sentimental ramble, Matt's so cool, can't wait for the episode where all four of these people sit down together, it's gonna be epic, I'm sure.

I understand where you’re coming from, but understanding the philosophy of whatever subject you’re studying is very important if you want to truly get into it. Eg philosophy of science informs the whole foundation of how and why we do science/research the way we do. Also philosophy of cognition/consciousness has been very important for informing the neuroscientific study of this area. But, it depends how deep you want to go & not everyone cares about those things 😅

Really appreciate Matt's advice about how we are not supposed to do anything with our degree. As someone who finished medicine but deeply regrets it and lost all of their confidence in the process, that was nice to hear.

Matt is so quirky and cute. If we had been to the same school, I feel like I would totally have a crush on him ❤

Matt's my favorite of the Simply Siblings/family members we've met so far, so thanks for bringing him back! You should try to set up an obscure math formula to let us know when he'll next return :p

That new Lorde album has had its foot on my neck since it came out. Stoned at the Nail Salon IS a bop! 👏🏽 I have a spare ticket to one of her shows next year, Ben 👀😂

Thank you for the words of encouragement, Ben & Matt!! No advice is good advice as well, hahahaha. Also, it was a lovely surprise to hear Beyn pronounce my name the way I do (spanish pronunciation)
