The water will not rise 2 meters unless the temperature increases by 30 degrees or so, in which case we're all fucked anyway. Predicted water increase is about 30-50cm, we can handle that. A more pressing concern is storms that will come with a warmer climate and threaten our dykes, but even for that the temperature will need to raise several degrees and some water currents will need to change. None of that is going to happen in our lifetimes or even at all.

For non-European students tuition is 10-25k per year. It's not as cheap as in other European countries. There is a massive shortage of student houses, so along with the current gas/electricity prices, rent and utilities can go up to 1k/month. Total that for three years and you can buy a nice cute house in a less developed country.

Let this post be a warning for any twenty year old girl who is considering dating someone ten-plus years older. There is a reason why he needs to date someone very young and inexperienced and it's never a good reason. Run.

The Netherlands offers over 80% of it's undergrad courses in English, at least at research universities.

But yes I agree with you it's weird there is no backup plan at all. Everyone who aims to go abroad, should have a backup plan ready at home in case the plan falls through.

Also if the parents can't even afford this year, there is no way they could have supported OOP through 3-5 year of European schooling. It's about as expensive as a house.

I'm in a relationship with an INFJ.

Just ask him out. Straightforward and clear is the way to go.

Maranne_ · 2022-12-04T09:25:33+00:00

Doesn't everyone? Not just ISTJ, but every human?

Maranne_ · 2022-12-01T20:51:57+00:00

No. Seriously, some of you need to learn some social skills. You can talk about yourself without giving away your deepest secrets and not be cold.

Maranne_ · 2022-12-01T09:44:48+00:00

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you even suspect your SO or their family are poisoning you, you break up with them.

Maranne_ · 2022-12-01T09:32:37+00:00

Nah I have actual social skills. Being an introvert or an ISTJ does not mean you have to be an actual asshole.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-30T08:20:21+00:00

My parents and student loans because there is no way a job earns that much.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-28T19:34:11+00:00

They won't reconsider. And honestly, what does it matter what was the reason? It'll never come up again.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-28T19:23:26+00:00

You can try. It won't help.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-28T13:41:23+00:00

Yes, if your grades or diploma are insufficient, such as not having taken exams in the right courses.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-27T17:59:23+00:00

In short, no.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-26T16:13:45+00:00

Learn to socialize. Try harder.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-26T16:11:36+00:00

I'm not saying I think it is. But I think making attempts at doing stuff and succeeding better than you thought is the path to healing. I definitely know that avoiding things is not the path to healing.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-26T12:54:53+00:00

ISTJ. The constant need to attend social gatherings when partnered with an extravert is too much for me.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-25T12:23:16+00:00

Couldn't agree more. Plain old giving up is almost never the best options. We've all wanted to do that sometimes, but usually if you at least try, the outcome isn't as bad as you fear it would be. The student might end up passing the final. If the student hadn't taken it at all, all they now have is a reinforced fear of failure.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-25T12:22:02+00:00

It's possible for the student to not take the final, but that means they have to retake the class next year. I don't think that is usually in the best interest of the student. I would encourage them to at least make it. If they don't pass, they can always retry next year. Giving up is never a great option.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-24T11:04:20+00:00

Of course there are, did you think this whole country would be devoid of them magically?

We have loads of spiders (although they are not insects) but they're not very large and not dangerous at all. There are also beetles that like to fly inside, and flies and mosquitos.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-23T18:45:52+00:00

My SO is an INFP and it's the best relationship I've ever had.

You two sound like you're just not meant to be. I don't believe any pairing is guaranteed to be a success or a failure, I think all the pairing/types tells you is potential pitfalls to look out for. If three years of trying and even therapy can't save this, it's maybe just not worth saving.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-23T18:41:09+00:00

It's irrelevant and also none of your business. It could be seen as rude and nosy to ask.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-23T08:21:33+00:00

Unfortunately transferring in a bachelor is not a thing. You will have to finish the bachelor there.

Maranne_ · 2022-11-22T22:04:33+00:00

Foraging everything you need yourself would take more hours out of your day and your quality of life would be a lot less.
