@yourlocalIKEA my back has genuinely started to hurt today 😭😭😭 my bones are turning into relics of the past lmaoo but really im fine

adult side is chill too!! i'll be there to welcome you in 6 months c: can't wait for more friends to come. I've made friends here and they're all nice. 

there is one thing that sucks tho which is my public transport costing way more now 😭

@aquaaaaa I didnt notice the title of the forum until today and i have to say its one of the most creative ive ever seen :P IKEA approved ✅

ive heard adult side is a lot more busier and im not surprised... plus there must be ppl that are like double ur age or more

:0 public transport costs more?? id think thered be student discounts or sth similar

@yourlocalIKEA lmaooo i poured all my creativity into this title :P

adult side is definitely busy, it's like tcr a few years ago but even more chaotic tbh, today it showed like 30 users in one the group chats (obv not all of them are there but a huge portion were talking). the vibes are different here but not in a bad way, turns out adult side also has its fair share of lore lmao so i'm just slowly adjusting!!

public transport at home costs more yeah, i think even for local uni students here they don't get discounts, but over in the UK my uni provides free public transport throughout my undergrad hehe, I'm getting my results in 4 days so I'll see if I get in

@yourlocalIKEA there's a recurring character on the adult side lmaoo, you'll probably meet them every once in a while once you age up, or maybe you can ask the commods to spoil it for you :p 

i did do the IB exams yeah!! thank you ehhe I keep thinking about my results these days which isn't fun but there's nothing i can do to change my results anyways so no point in being anxious

if you're taking any permanent residents i'll be happy to stay lool and sorry i just responded now, been so sleepy these past few days thanks to my sleep schedule

@yourlocalIKEA  :P you'll find out soon, though I think he's less friendly than mickey mouse lmaoo


it's all goodd XD 💙 the delay just means there'll be more life updates to share lol, I ended up reuniting with some more mods on the cups birthday celebration so that was super nice. 

also results went amazingly!!! I reached my conditional on the dot 😭 literally 0 margin left but I got in!! I got my place confirmed just yesterday too and now I'm applying for student housing, which is genuinely crazy to think about.

not being able to sleep is soo real tho me and my friends could barely sleep the day before and the day after too lmaooo, but its seriously such a relief i managed to reach my offer and now I feel wayy less stressed, altho i keep thinking about the scenario that i miss my offer by 1 point 😭😭 i was literally 1 mark from missing my offer

i just realized how long this post is :p anywayss i also just finished writing a poem but yeah that's about it!!! I hope you're doing well yourself 💙

@yourlocalIKEA oohh yippiee happy holidays!!! that's so real tho school *** up all our time like a black hole lmao, my semester starts on the 21st of September and i think orientation starts 14th? But I think I'll still be around as much as I can, I'm done with life taking me away from my friends on cups for months at a time lmao. if I can ask when does school start for you? glad you're finally gonna have a long holiday though hehe

awwiee thank youuu 💙💙💙 I'm dealing with the residence stuff as we speak lmaoo, gonna look into having like better accomodations for my circumstances

also of course I'm okie with it!! here's the link to the poem: https://www.7cups.com/forum/poetry/YourPoetry_2617/LifeislikeaMerrygoround_385707/

honestly I'm just glad I got into the uni, I kinda have some big worries about it that I have to face but I think in the end I'll still go, especially in spite of it and because I worked so hard to get there.. I haven't told anyone else yet so I'm gonna see what they might have to say about it too. anywayss happy holidayss!!! I hope you get to do lots of fun things n get a lot of rest tooo

@yourlocalIKEA oooff i hateed writing personal statements and cvs mainly cuz i had to write so many when i was applying to uni 😭 smartof you to do it now though cuz yeah having to write all of that on top of school was pure suffering
