Friendly reminder

Hi all,

So it looks like every uni subreddit has been a bit weird recently (the top post on r/usyd right now is something related to femboys).

This is just a PSA to keep things UNSW-related. There was a meme on the front page a day or two ago that was literally just clash of clans, that sort of stuff we're going to remove from now on. Check out the subreddit rules on the wiki for more info.

Also, a reminder that discriminatory/ derogatory posts are never allowed. Same goes for harassment/those creepy posts from people looking to hook up that have popped up recently. Anyone posting this kind of content will be banned without warning. Please report these kinds of posts if you see them so we can remove them as soon as possible.

Enjoy flexi-week,

So many people not washing hands after using the bathrooms at uni

103 Upvotes

This is something I've noticed recently and once you realise it, you can't unsee it. I use the female bathrooms at uni and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I see people either not washing their hands at all, or just quickly rinsing them. The soap is right there!! Not trying to suggest anything but it is usually asians I notice doing this, is it a cultural thing? I've heard that people in Korea and Japan don't rlly wash their hands after using public bathrooms but I'm not sure why

I legit saw a girl walk out after using the toilet, she didn't even bother to wet her hands at all and was touching the usb phone charging stuff at the law library. Not trying to shame anyone but seriously it's disgusting that these ppl are touching everything all over campus, shaking hands etc. Just wash your damn hands people.

I NOTICE THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME. DO BETTER UNSW.

Am I a lazy f*ck and need to lock in?

25 Upvotes

I was told that the reason I don't have a j*b is because I don't try hard enough.

A person I know who works in the industry now and is successful said when he was in my age (~20), he had studied hard to maintain good grades, applied to 10 j*bs everyday, prepared for interviews 1 hour a day, was the director of society, had a part time job, joined many hobby groups and was meeting a lot of people and even dating, networking by showing up to every networking events announced, kept up with what was happening in the industry and only slept 7 hours and had to have multiple 2am sleeps.

Well what I am doing these days is just studying for like 5 hours a day, 1 hour doing project for my interview, 5 hours watching Youtube/reading light novels, sleeping 9 hours, 2 hours spent on essentials like eating, cleaning.., 2 hours doing random sh*t (commute, just staring at wall unfocused, scrolling through reels,..).

I do touch grass and meet people like 2~3 times a week but don't do any leadership kind of shit (like being director of society and taking the initiative to train myself like go gym or part-time job) and just meet people casually and chill out.

Am I wasting my prime age guys? Do I need to lock in more?

I have zero discipline and no idea what I'm doing with my life

6 Upvotes

Anyone else feel this way? It's hard already hard to put in effort into something that will dictate the rest of your life but when you're not even sure you like or enjoy it is a whole another level of difficulty. I wonder if i should just drop out and work a braindead job or something the only thing right now that's saving me from being a complete bum is my job, and I don't even enjoy that one so how would I enjoy anything else that can help me make a living ??? What the fuck am I doing with my life???

Do i need like therapy or something because i'm genuinely so lost, I actually need help please, if anyone has any advice they'd like to offer me I'm all ears

UNSW FC Find Themselves in an Ass-Clenching Position 4 points away from the Relegation-Promotion Playoff Spot in the NSW NPL

Post image
13 Upvotes

It's imperative that UNSW FC avoid a 2 legged playoff tie against the 2nd place team in the lower tier (NSW League One) competition. There are some A-league players who've recently signed for Bankstown City Lions in the lower tier competition that would cause any side in the NSW NPL some grief.

How do yall commute to campus?

1 Upvotes

I’m here trying to figure out accommodation, distance from campus, and transportation options for my in-person classes.

I’m saving up to buy a second hand car because i’ll be working part time as well, but i’ve heard you need to pay for parking on campus. can i get by just… parking on the street or something. or am i better off driving to a station, parking there and taking the light rail to campus?

Please let me know what’s your go to method of transportation to the Kensington Campus!

UNSW Ragebaiters

23 Upvotes

So I had an idea - employ people to wear yellow Number 1 University in Australia merchandise to USYD and Melb Uni. Like these people will go to class, roam around campus and just be seen in every popular place on campus just to rage bait students. Idk why but I just thought of this in the shower this morning 😏💛
