    Where did you learn about the real world?

    My dad.... my parents own a business so I always was exposed to business type stuff. In fact I used to count my dad's takings from the age of 5..... you know how you have to bag up coins (like 20 $1 coins in one of those plastic bags) well I used to do that for all of our shop's takings when I...

    I applied for a job today

    Try other fast food places too, like Oporto.... also, try Coles Myer because they don't require experience, and at least it's a job so they will know you can work once you finish there. Just look around small cafes and stuff too, sometimes they are willing to train you. My parents are always...

    Your University

    USyd doesn't have the orange campus anymore... they sold it to CSU. Bad things about UTS are the lack of grass and the fact that campus life could be more than it currently is. And I wish the library was at city instead of haymarket, then I might actually visit it more often lol.

    Appearance in a relationship

    You could be healthy and fit without being "slim".... "slim" today in society is this extreme notion, straight out of the magazines.... I'm all for health, but someone who would waste their entire time in the gym just to fit in to a stereotyped narrow view of beauty as opposed to being healthy...

    Green bags!!

    Some info I found: http://www.planetark.com/campaignspage.cfm/newsid/61/newsDate/7/story.htm#11 As far as I understand the green bags are not biodegradable, however companies are trying to develop biodegradable grocery bags (that will be similar to your normal plastic bags).

    Green bags!!

    Green bags are not 100% biodegradable as far as I know.... I thought they were made of regular plastic basically. I have heard it will be possible to recycle them when they get damaged, but I'm sure I read somewhere that they took just as long to break down as regular plastic bags, it's just...

    Green bags!!

    I work at coles and I HATE it when idiots want a bag for something small.... especially if they are carrying a hand bag or something that I can see it would easily fit in to. Another category of people that annoy me are the ones that bring those wheelie shopping carts/sacks that they are...

    Appearance in a relationship

    If you were willing to waste your entire life on a treadmill just to satisfy a societal construct of beauty then I would think you were screwed up in the head, no matter how much "willpower" you had.

    hay ho vsu has got to go??

    At UTS only the $30 we pay for the students association goes towards political stuff as far as I know. It isn't really that much.

    Electives

    Well UTS only really offers communications type subjects in the arts faculty. However, you can study anything for your elective (as long as you have completed any prereqs for it).... from any faculty, even from different universities.You just need to get faculty approval to do that and it can...

    stop impulse spending

    Make a second bank account that you can't access with your card and put the money in there except for what you want to spend. It's not that hard.

    Move away from home, then you won't have much disposible income. You won't save any money either though lol.

    hay ho vsu has got to go??

    Get it right.... it was hey hey, ho ho, VSU has got to go. I think that campus life is a crucial part of university culture. That is why I support USU. You may feel we have less of a need, but what about people who need childcare, legal advice, jobs, assistance etc. I personally think...
