I think an iPad is a nice addition to your workflow (I got one at the end of my first year of uni) but a laptop is essential. many programs you will need during architecture school simply do not run on an iPad. hope this helps!! I might make an architecture school essentials video soon!
Just watched your previous Flat Hunting vlogs & then checked your most recent upload and saw it was flat hunting again 😐 Sorry to see that you're having to move again! I'm a big believer in 'everything happens for a reason'...it'll all work out in the end
thank you for your kind words! yes it definitely was difficult and unexpected but I'm so so happy with my new place so I definitely agree with that statement:)
You had to the year I was submitting mine, I'm not sure what the criteria are this year though as they change every so often. I had more than 3 media from at least 2 of the ib categories: film photography, digital photography and watercolor
I was looking at flats 'in the background' for a few weeks but when I was done with deadlines and could fully focus on the flat hunt it took almost exactly a week to sort my flat out
it depends what you mean by grading. ib grades are based off the comparative study + exhibition + portfolio, most of which are finished in 12 grade. however, we were assessed by our teachers at the end of each year based on our work at the current moment. those grades don't matter for your ib diploma but might be important for applying to universities or scholarships
as I'm currently on my placement semester, I do not have a studio space at the moment. you can look at some of my previous studios in these videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hepEuGf4KFU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-710BiO220-4.html
this helped me so much! I'm a HS junior I think is what Americans call it? (year 11 basically) and I've been really anxious and overly preparing to start working on my IB portfolio and work and whatnot. This video comprised a lot of details, facts, helpful advice and more in a really organized way. Thank you so much for making this vid! Wish me luck lmao
good luck!!! my biggest piece of advice would be to start working on your portfolio as early as possible, work on it throughout the program and then you can omit unnecessary information before your final submission. it'll be super useful to have a lot of reflections, sketches, doodles and anything else documented so that you don't have to do that stuff again when you're stressing over other deadlines:)
Most makeup have a jar symbol on the ingredients label, it has 6M/12M/24M etc on it, that's called the PAO (Period After Opening) it's how long the brand can guarantee it working perfectly for (ingredients staying intact etc). Pressed Powders, dry products, oil based creams can be used a bit longer, things that you can disinfect the surface of with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Loose powders, a bit less but use your judgement. Liquids in pumps and squeezy tubes, a lil less. Liquids in dip products, where a wand comes out and touches your face and goes back in? toss em. Liquids that dip (concealer, mascara, dip liner) or go near your eyes? I think these items you need to be the most wary of keeping. They usually say 6Months on them, the eye stuff. My best advice is expired makeup that you've been consistently using is better than randomly finding one that you haven't used in a year and applying it... You don't know how it's been degrading and what's been happening to it. That's the one that hits you with surprises like allergic reaction, contact dermatitis or even infections.
All makeup expires, unfortunately, there should be an open jar icon with a number inside indicating how long the product is good for after opening. If there is no pao (the jar icon) or a date, the product is should be good for at least 36 months, but most products now are good up to a year or two. Using expired makeup can lead to infection, especially in the eye area, but it can also cause allergic reaction on all areas of the skin the product is used on. It also harbors bacteria from our skin and environment, they make makeup go bad, or even grow mold. Last year I got a reaction from expired bronzer, not fun times, and nothing aside from date showed that something was bad with it, so I recommend being careful with older makeup. Also cleaning brushes regularly and changing makeup sponge every month will help with keeping your skin and makeup in the best condition possible. I keep a list of makeup products, the date I first opened them, and how long after opening they are good for. It helps to make sure everything I’m using is safe and in date.
Did you regularly use the bronzer or had it been in your stash for a while and you rediscovered it? I have a theory that is the stuff we don't use after opening then rediscover months later that causes these, because if we regularly used it we'd know it's performance was going down, basically happened to me, but it was a liquid dip product, got a little patch of contact dermatitis even though i had products older than it, but i use those all the time so I'd be aware of any degradation or reactions. So I'm trying to get in the habit of declutter "past its PAO and not been used in a while" products. The eye stuff though, that's scary, tossing my dip eye products as soon as the pao dates end.
@@daisiesandpandas1218 It was my daily used bronzer, I new it very well because it also was my second one. I started feeling a little burning sensation one day but I didn’t connect the dots at first, then when it happened again and again, and a red splotches started appearing I realized it must be the bronzer, the placement, no other new products applied in that area, I tossed it away instantly and decluttered other stuff that were after PAO. It took me awhile to get to the point where I could actually say that my all “collection” is fresh and safe to use and if something is nearing its PAO I make a habit of trying to use it up before it goes, something like project pan. It’s quite fun actually. You’re right, that eye stuff is scary, I watched two girls talk about it, and my mom got it so I know how awful it is, I had to trash all her makeup, she was devastated, didn’t want any expensive stuff after that because she didn’t want it to go to waste. I’ve watched some cosmetics chemists and eye experts and now I try to apply the rules, new makeup sponge every month, brush cleaning at least once a week, fresh mascara every three months, everything else in date, especially eye products.
Eyeshadow expires in 2 to 3 years. Please throw those away girly. Another RU-vidr just got a staph infection from hers and needed treatment, and to throw away her entire makeup collection because it was all contaminated.
@@alunisaeIt can be disinfected with 70% alcohol. She probably got it from not washing/disinfecting brushes and the eyeshadow. Bacteria builds up over days, months, years. Most of us tend to not upkeep of brushes in the way we should, i feel like its probably the cause for many skin problems like acne etc. Powders can loose their pigmentation and not glide as nicely though.
I wanna properly start a blog channel for studying architecture as I study up in Aberdeen! Any advice? Love your channel, can’t believe I only just found it.
haha absolutely no advice I'm just kind of making it up as I go? and that's so exciting I've never been to Aberdeen I hope you're enjoying it. good luck with your videos, keep me updated on how it goes:)
I use a 2019 MacBook Air - but that's just the laptop I had before I went to uni. it works fine if that's what you have but I don't know if I'd recommend buying if you're looking for something new:)
I went to a place called Fermentação - I was a little bit confused as I thought I ordered a pasta dish but ended up with rice. All was vegan though! The food still tasted very good and what sold us was the outdoor seating and live music more than the food itself:)
