Hi everyone! I'm conducting a short survey about what gives people a sense of meaning in life.

It only takes about 2 minutes, and I really need more responses to reach my goal

Thank you so much for your help!

YES!! I'm a PCM student who actually wants to study Humanities. I was confused after my boards, my parents, relatives, friends, and everyone were telling me to pick an option -PCM [or] PCB. But I liked social studies in my 10th, and I wanted to take humanities, but the problem was that there were no humanities stream schools in my area. So I wanted to take commerce, and I got into NVS, but it was so far from my hometown, so I didn't join, and then I took PCM because everyone said it gives you more paths after 12th.

SO I, PCM in 11th, it wasn't bad. I was a CBSE student, but I switched to the State Board, and the question paper was so predictable. I wrote my 11th boards like 1 month ago, and honestly, it was pretty good. But the problem was that you will be so stressed out bcoz all my friends are gonna write "JEE or NEET". They have a clear guide/path. AS a PCM student, my teacher's parents have some expectations of me to write JEE, but I clearly have no interest, but then I feel like maybe I should keep my options open. Most of my seniors are now in BTECH or MBBS, and I don't wanna take the same path. I want to do something different. But when I watch a video online or an Instagram reel, I feel I am so behind everyone.

But I did some research and got enrolled in NIOS with Humanities. Now I have just completed my 11th, but the problem was with the NIOS centre. It says one centre on the admit card, but when I visited it, there was no centre at that school for years. I called them and went to my centre, and it turned out that very few people take this exam. I received my NIOS study material a week ago. And still, I am not sure what to do after my 12th.

I am planning to take CUET after my 12th.

And I wanted to share, just in case someone else feels the same way

Wish me LUCK

Hey there,

We're students ourselves and are working on a student project to understand challenges students face with unused items such as clothes, books, electronics etc.

We've created this short 2-3 minute questionnaire to gather real experiences.

It would be really helpful if you could fill it out. 🙌

Thanks! ✨️🙏🏻

Hi, I am a student working on a course project. This survey takes under 2 minutes.

I need 30 more responses. Would appreciate your help. I can share results if needed.

I tested 20 free AI tools for studying — here are the only ones actually worth using

Most lists online are trash, so I spent time testing a bunch of AI tools for studying.

These are the ones that actually helped me:

• ChatGPT (best if you use it like a tutor)
• Perplexity (research with sources)
• Quizlet AI (auto flashcards)
• NotebookLM (study from your own notes)
• Wolfram (step-by-step math)

Biggest mistake: people just copy answers instead of learning.

If anyone wants, I can drop the full list + how to use them properly.

Digital Marketing is perhaps the most discussed skill right now. People want to master digital marketing, make money online or freelance. The truth, however, is that most beginners fail miserably due to lack of an appropriate process.

‎This does not mean that they are lazy; it just means that they aren’t doing things the right way.

‎Where Most Beginners Make Mistakes

‎1. Studying Without Applying -

‎Many people dedicate themselves to watching countless tutorials, liking posts, and taking tons of notes. However, they don’t do anything with their knowledge.

‎Digital marketing is a practical area. Not doing anything with your knowledge means not learning.

‎2. Having Too Much Info -

‎If you type "digital marketing for beginners" into Google, there’s no way that you won’t see SEO, social networks, advertising, writing, and using artificial intelligence software, among other topics.

‎The result? Beginners can’t focus on one particular area.

‎3. Absence of Strategy

‎Just posting anything and expecting it to go viral is no strategy at all.

‎You have to know your target audience and content plan before expecting to grow consistently.

‎4. Disregarding SEO and Basic

‎Novices often neglect simple concepts such as keywords, captions, and hashtags. But do not forget that Instagram and YouTube also operate as search engines. Without proper optimization, you will never be seen by your target audience.

‎What Really Matters

‎🔹 Master One Skill at a Time

‎Pick one thing to begin with such as creating quality content, social media management, or search engine optimization.

‎🔹 Learn, Implement, and Iterate

‎It’s not enough to watch videos online; implement what you’ve learned into practice every single day.

‎🔹 Leverage the Best Tools

‎There are numerous free tools out there that will make your life much simpler. For instance:

‎Canva – design tool

‎ChatGPT – generate content ideas

‎CapCut – edit videos

‎Concluding Remarks -

‎Feeling trapped by digital marketing? Many others starting out share the same problems.

‎It comes down to making things simpler for yourself, learning hands-on, and being persistent. You will eventually start getting somewhere.

I'm speaking at graduation (volunteer based, I wanted to do this), and I've never met anyone from my graduating class save for my best friend who moved online with me. I wanted to write my speech on the lack of community we have because of our online school, and I have a draft if anyone's willing to read and give me pointers. I'm okay with being a little like cringey or like corny, I just want the overall message to be good and somewhat memorable.

the speech is below:

Thank you to the students, teachers, parents, and staff who made these past four years everything that they could be for all of us. Now, I know not many of us know each other, but I hope I can leave you all with something meaningful to remember when you think back to your high school graduation. You all deserve at least that much from someone you’ve never met who is standing here.

That, is actually what I’d like to talk about. We all have likely never met each other until today. We saw each other’s names in some of our webmails, maybe saw each other in our live lessons once or twice. But, not once, did we actually meet each other, greet one another, get to know the other people making their way through high school. All those names we saw looked pointless to know, like a cast list in movie credits---just plainly insignificant. I’ll admit, I didn’t think twice as I scanned over each name I saw, mostly ignoring it. But, behind each name, is someone here today who got through thirteen years of school, despite the struggles, despite the hardships, despite all the odds that may have been stacked against them.

In this digital age, we don’t think twice about the insanity that is not even knowing who you’re graduating with. So, I want you all to simply look around, left and right, forward and back, and see the faces of those around you. You don’t even have to talk, just see. All those names that never had a face to go with them are here now. All those classmates who might’ve struggled or sped through their classes alongside you are here now. Every single one of those names now feels more real now, don’t they?

A huge part of graduation is community and connection, and, because of our online circumstances, we don’t have that. Despite us all being real people and peers, not just names or accounts online, we lack connection because we’ve never met. Our “community” is the collective experience of a non-traditional education.

We never got to meet a new friend, move lockers, play on playgrounds while picking up younger siblings. We never got to have a prom or a dance, no genuine clubs of hunting down materials and giving teachers headaches. We never got to text plans mid class for after school and beg your parents to agree to it. None of us had that.

I’d like to give you all one last assignment today. I want each of you to introduce yourself to someone, maybe get someone’s Instagram or Snapchat, hell, maybe even their number. Find someone worth talking to. See if they want to build a connection with you, figure out if you want to help build that too. Find someone worth signing up to a club with, making plans with, picking up siblings with. It is late, yes, but better late than never.

Building communities and connections is a two way street, and now that you have that chance in front of you, it’s up to you to take it—even if it doesn’t work out. You might not have a community so readily available like this ever again after this. Because when all is said and all is done, you can’t make a friend out of a computer screen.

Lmk what tips or things i should revise or edit, or if i should bring in other ideas. ty for reading :3

I have made a survey in both Qualtrics and Google Forms. The Qualtrics one is better in most ways than the Google Form, but both are very similar. I want my research to be able to grow without me, and this means making it easy for others to duplicate. Easiest way to do that imo is to make the survey easy to duplicate and send out. Does anyone know how best to do that on either program? I do not want anyone else to have to spend 3 hours copy pasting like I did (and I do mean genuinely 3 hours of it, it was miserable)? I cannot discuss what the survey is about until after the month of May. It takes 31 minutes per Qualtrics estimations to fill out.

SO have had a lot of problems figuring out if my research question or topic in general is good enough or if it may be too simple my iwa or obvious the way I am convincing the coffee shop sources ans epidemic of loneliness in the stimulus pack. Rq at the time is To what extend does social connection in palliative care settings reduce the feeling of loneliness in chronically ill patients? (i was thinking either chronic illness pr terminal illness) And my argument statement would be This paper will argue that social connection can reduce the feeling of loneliness in chronically ill patient but it is more effective when supported by paloative care environments that could function as "third places" for the patients

Is it too simple or how can I structure it to make it less simple?????
