This comprehensive blog will provide valuable insights into the application process for universities and how to navigate the job market to find promising youth employment opportunities.

How to Apply for University: A Step-by-Step Guide
‘’How to Apply for University’’ Applying for university can be an exciting yet daunting process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate this important milestone:
Research Your Options:
Start by researching the universities and programs that align with your interests and career goals. Consider factors such as location, campus facilities, tuition fees, and available scholarships. Websites like Universities South Africa (USAf) offer comprehensive information on various institutions.
Meet Entry Requirements:
Each university has specific entry requirements, including minimum grades and subject prerequisites. Ensure that you meet these requirements before applying. Some programs may also require additional assessments, interviews, or portfolios.
Gather Necessary Documents:
Prepare all the necessary documents for your application. Commonly required documents include your ID, academic transcripts, proof of residence, and a personal statement. Some universities may also require letters of recommendation or a CV.
Complete the Application Form:
Most universities in South Africa have online application portals. Carefully fill out the application form, ensuring that all information is accurate and complete. Double-check your details before submitting the form.
Pay Application Fees:
Universities typically charge an application fee. Make sure to pay this fee as part of your application process. Keep a record of the payment confirmation for future reference.
Submit Before Deadlines:
Pay attention to application deadlines, as missing them can result in your application not being considered. Submit your application well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute issues.
Prepare for Interviews or Tests:
Some programs may require you to attend an interview or take an entrance test. Prepare thoroughly for these assessments by researching common questions and practicing your responses.
Apply for Financial Aid and Scholarships:
Explore financial aid options and scholarships offered by universities and external organizations. Submit your applications for these opportunities along with your university application to ease the financial burden of higher education.
Await Response:
After submitting your application, be patient while waiting for a response. Universities will inform you of their decision, usually via email or their online portal. If accepted, follow the instructions for enrollment and registration.
Prepare for University Life:
Once you’ve been accepted, start preparing for university life. Arrange accommodation, familiarize yourself with campus facilities, and plan your study schedule.
Navigating SA Youth Jobs: Tips for Success

Securing a job as a young person in South Africa can be challenging, but with the right approach, you can find rewarding opportunities. Here’s how to get started:
Build a Strong CV:
Your CV is your first impression to potential employers. Ensure it highlights your skills, experiences, and achievements. Include any internships, volunteer work, or part-time jobs that demonstrate your abilities.
Utilize Job Portals:
There are numerous job portals dedicated to youth employment in South Africa. Websites like SA Youth Jobs and Indeed offer a range of job listings specifically for young job seekers. Regularly check these platforms for new opportunities.
Network Effectively:
Networking is a powerful tool in job hunting. Attend career fairs, workshops, and industry events to meet potential employers and learn about job openings. Connect with professionals on LinkedIn and seek mentorship opportunities.
Prepare for Interviews:
When you land an interview, preparation is key. Research the company, practice common interview questions, and dress appropriately. Be confident and articulate your strengths clearly.
Gain Relevant Experience:
If you’re struggling to find a job in your desired field, consider internships, volunteer work, or part-time positions. These roles can provide valuable experience and enhance your CV.
Leverage Social Media:
Use social media platforms to your advantage. Follow companies and industry leaders on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Engage with their posts and stay updated on job openings and industry trends.
Tailor Your Applications:
Customize your cover letter and CV for each job application. Highlight how your skills and experiences make you the ideal candidate for that specific role. Employers appreciate personalized applications that show genuine interest.
Stay Positive and Persistent:
Job hunting can be a long and sometimes discouraging process. Stay positive and persistent. Keep applying, improving your skills, and expanding your network. Your efforts will eventually pay off.
Seek Career Counseling:
Career counseling services can provide valuable guidance and support. Future Skills SA offers career counseling to help you identify your strengths, explore career options, and develop a strategic job search plan.

i have to be so real. sometimes you have to outright not give a shit what the author thinks. i’m not saying to disregard how a character is portrayed and give into fanon characterisations but sometimes i will see fans be like “(head writer) omggg do you think this character is a good person?” “how would this character react if xyz happened?” as though that’s not a question you can and have to answer for yourself.! any character can contain multitudes and if you keep limiting your perception of them solely on word of god its not fun for the writer or even yourself anymore. THINK FOR YOURSELF. INVENT NEW WAYS TO FUCK YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS OVER
#put that bitch in situations and frustrate yourself as you figure out how they would react in character#and be critical of how you’re doing so and second guess and wonder is this right#and then examine your blorbo’s behaviour to come to your own conclusion!#you can only say “they would NOT say that” if they say it first !!!!#this is not even necessarily about illario but its sort of about him#its really about a pacific rim character bc as i trawl through travisbeacham’s tumblr dot com#trying to read about lore its like ‘is chuck a good person’ WHO CARESSSS. WHAT DO YOU THINK#how have YOU reacted to him? and take yourself out of the equation— what makes his character unappealing in a meta way?#how do people in-universe think of him?#i think all these questions could of course also apply to illario#who suffers hard from ‘players take him at face value’ despite many pointers to more shit going on behind the scenes#of course this statement applies to the larger audience#bc everyone who fucking follows me here or is mutuals with me loves that freak too#anywyas. i ahve to go hibernate again . i have a real job#txt

what's fun about shipping Tim with Dick, Jason, or Damian is he has, at some point, hallucinated all of them to comfort himself. even when he doesn't like them or particularly get along with them, he has to imagine/hallucinate them just so he has the power to go on. Tim's concepts of the Robin mantle and what it should be is so fun, because he respects the others through the Robin mantle. Tim worships Dick because he was the first Robin. he wouldn't be Robin if Jason hadn't died in the mantle. and a lot of his frustration with Damian is he feels Damian isn't honoring the mantle correctly. when you ship Tim with the other Robins you can't divorce their identities as Robin from it because Tim will always see them as a Robin first and that's so fun and fucked up. like.
batman (1940) #456
Tim perceiving Dick as *Robin* cheering him on, not Nightwing, which is the version of Dick that Tim actually knows? that's just. wild of him. he will always view Dick as Robin first, his personal hero but also the original of the legacy. his love for Dick is shaped by that.
and then of course, even when he's hallucinating/imagining Jason cheering him on, it's *still* through the lense of being reminded how Jason failed? subconsciously believing that Jason got himself killed because of his actions, and that being a lesson for Tim to learn from? Jason isn't a person to Tim, he's a moral lesson about how to be Robin. any potential idolization he could have of Jason isn't because he loves Jason, it's because of the lessons Jason's death taught him.
and then, even though him hallucinating TIm is from the New-52, which makes characterization all kinds of questionable, i do think it makes sense for TIm to hallucinate/imagine Damian after Damian's death in an attempt to cope with it.
teen titans (2011) #18
to an extend, he sees Damian's death as in part his own fault. and even hating Damian, Tim needs the comfort from this to cope with Damian being gone. he's angry that Damian even was Robin, and has to learn something from Damian's death and how it impacts the Robin mantle, and teenage heroes as a whole. like, Tim can pretend he hates Damian all he wants, even getting taunted by the image of Damian, but there's still an underlying love to their relationship.
i think that's just the fun of shipping Tim with any of them. you will never divorce Tim's views of them from the Robin mantle and how fucking Unwell he is about anyone else who's been Robin before or after him, to the point he has to hallucinate them comforting him when he's at his lowest. it's always going to be a little unhealthy, a little toxic, and driven by Tim's relationship with being Robin as well. i need more Tim being weird about Robin in these ships.
#necrotic festerings#batcest#jaytim#dicktim#damitim#this post was first going to just be about tim hallucinating damian but i got carried away thinking about the identity crisis arc#have whatever this is.#idk if there's much of a thesis other than “tim's fucking weird about the robin mantle and that should extend to shipping too”#been meaning to post this for forever#finally got around to it though so yay me.#now i need to go work on my jaytim in the new-52 thoughts bc. i have a whole post planned.#a stack of comics next to me for research and everything. god help me.#ALSO while rereading to grab panels#why is it that everyone talks about how jason says “robin is magic” in an attempt to mischaracterize him as sunshine boy#and not the fact that tim *also* says robin is magic?#like it's not a jason thing. it's a robin mantle thing.#that's just what robin *is*. it doesn't say much about jason's character for him to say that when he's robin. it just means he's robin.#the robin mantle is magic. that's the point.#and you could argue that's more of a meta thing that exists on the wavelength of how children where supposed to project onto robin#moreso than an in-universe commentary on what the robin mantle is#(honestly the same argument applies to tim hallucinating here for like. meta intent vs in-universe meaning.)#i hesitate to even call it hallucination it's more like. daydreaming coping.#giving a face to his internal monologue type thing and this is just how the medium depicts it#also it was just sexy and cool for characters to hallucinate loved ones in the 90s in comics. it was a convention of the genre.#but still my point stands. tim pictures all of these ppl as robin first internally#and he self soothes using their image in his head. that's wild of him like what#tim you are weird about the robin mantle more than anyone else i give you that.

my brain is doing terrible horrible mental gymnastics trying to justify the science of impregnating stanford pines. horrible thought process in tags
#specifically im trying to tie in freaky triangle stuff with heinz dilemma#like#maybe bill does triangular hanky panky with ford in the fearamid during weirdmageddon right?#he commits deposit of eggs which prompty go dormant due to not being fertlized by sperm#fast forward like three years to heinz dilemma sister universe (which i have affectionately dubbed ‘an unplanned dilemma’#something something bill tops eventually and the entire redemption thing becomes sidelined by PREGNANCY#but then it’s triangle bill sperm plus gorgon/revitalized corpse bill egg which is just euclydian medusa bill baby#and call me a romantic but i do want the child to have ford DNA#maybe the fetal environment deposits pines dna into the deranged baby?#yk how like smoking and drinking can fuck up a fetus on a physiological level?#i think the same thing applies but instead of drinking it’s Being Stanford Pines#so baby basically gets fetal sixer syndrome? instead of fetal alcohol syndrome?#all things explained in the doctors visit ofc#but then the conception chapter would have two whole scenes of ford getting fucked nasty oh noooo a tragedyyyyyy#if my bio professor ever saw me write this shit i think she’d crane kick me into a box of preserved sheep uteri#what have i become#stanford pines#bill cipher#billford#mpreg poll

While I think the moment in cql where Meng Yao– still bleeding from a stab wound in his chest btw– realizes Lan Xichen is in danger and decides to save the man who was so kind to him in cloud recesses is cute and all, nothing will ever beat the book for me. Little bookkeeper civilian Meng Yao, who has not had a serious chance to make his dreams of being a cultivator come true in fucking years, out of nowhere gets the fucking sect leader of Gusu Lan dropped right in his lap?
It's such a great example of Meng Yao's multilayered motivations to me. Because is civilian Meng Yao thinking of all the ways he can use this? Of the fact that having a great sect leader in his debt is the best thing that could happen to him? Duh. Obviously.
Is he very purposeful about appearing to Lan Xichen as a kind young man full of untapped potential, brave and willing to put his life on the line even though he really doesn't know so much about about cultivators, no sir, except a little he picked up here and there, because you see his father– 👉👈 Of course he is!
But the way through which he does that is... by actually saving Lan Xichen's life, at no doubt significant personal risk. The way he makes Lan Xichen believe he's kind and selfless is by... being kind and selfless. Just because he's doing it on purpose doesn't mean he's not doing it.
Is it lying if you want people to think you're nice and so you're nice to them? Isn't that just called being nice? Yes, he is very purposeful about how he appears to people, and very carefully crafts an image based on what he wants them to think of him, but most of the time he does that simply by... actually being the kind of person he wants to appear as. He still did the kind things he did, regardless of his motivations for doing them.
#mdzs#mdzs meta#meng yao#jin guangyao#lan xichen#rs: i wish it could've been you#I think for a guy like nmj the reason this 'fakeness' is scary is because it makes him unpredictable#meng yao COULD be nice to you because he wants you to think well of him and the best way to do that is simply being nice.#OR he could be planning to kill you later. you have no way of knowing which one it is.#but like... the existence of the latter– while obviously very troubling!– doesn't really make the former manipulation in and of itself#but both people in universe and the fandom frustratingly often take it as such#'i want this person to like me so i'm gonna be nice to them' <- this is not manipulation. this is just interacting with people.#anyway this dual motivation probably also applies to show meng yao. who is scrambling to find something else now that he's been banished.#but the reason the novel grips me so much is little civilian a-yao doesn't even *know* lan xichen yet.#it's the journey of this at first being very inpersonal- both as an opportunity and as a heroic act#(the impression he's giving being that he saved a stranger because he's just that kind of person 😇)#and over the course of their time spent hiding together becomes... very very personal.#meng yao coming in with a very general plan that he could charm any kind of person with and slowly adjusting it to fit lxc#but how is that so different from just... getting to know a person and realizing what kind of relationship you want to have with them?#I also just think it's cute to have a-yao get bonked over the head with the realization that this guy is so fucking NICE what the FUCK?#no way he's this lucky. good shit doesn't *happen* to him where's the catch with this guy??? hello???#lucky of course both on a personal level and for his practical goals. i loveeee both sides of a-yao's brain screaming in tandem

hey rememberthe reverse iterators au. are you ever going to post about that again because i think it was pretty cool!
pebbles when he didnt even get to try
[More of my reverse iterator au if anyone is wondering what is going on!]
#rain world#five pebbles#hi! gonna answer you in the tags :))) hope you dont mind!#so first of anon you should concider buying a lottery ticket. the chances of me answering an ask is very very low but here we are!#second of all awww happy you like my silly little au!!!!! have a rough comic!#i admit i think what i have posted is generally a fairly complete run down on what i think about for that au. i mean theres many things i#can expand on but well i cant really do that in any coherent way so you know :) it is what it is!#so instead im giving you a snippit of pebbles angst about it all because i have missed being inside the head of this guy. he is sooo unhapp#in any and all ways rhat matter and i genuinally dont think theres any universe where he would be satesfied#and while i do overall think of this as a very silly au there is alot to be said about a pebbles rhat dosent get the chance to be his own#ruin and deal with what happens agter he fails. my pebbles in this will forever live with the what ifs and nothing more. which i find very#compelling! i think it would take him alot longer to come to terms with anything seeing as he will always have this small part of his mind#that is calculating what could be if this didnt happen. even if we of course know what will happen and it will be much the same as everythi#what happened in this au. i also havd alot of thoughts about how iterators process emotions. i think its fun to toy with the idea thatthey#do feel them but have a certain distance from them and pre programmed ideas about how they apply to themself. i dunno!!!#anyhow anyhow thansk foe the ask anon! i really should have doen this in proper text but i love me some formating so oh well!#god hope you didnt want more about moon. she is just chilling if your wondering. im not sure if she can feel things like remorse.#reverse iterator au#anyhowsis hope you have a lovely day anon! i just used this as an excsuse to draw pebbles so you know thanks for that!#and of course we are listening to it was a monstering by everything everything today i think! :D#my art#i have more doodles if anyone is curious. i should probably add.

I was talking about DBZ with my brother the other day and I brought up how odd it is for Trunks to be born with blue eyes.
Because the blue eye gene is recessive, meaning it's not visible if more dominant genes are present (example: black/brown eyes are dominant, so they'd cover up the blue eyes). In order for someone to have visibly blue eyes, both parents would have to pass down the blue eyes gene.
In order for Trunks to have been born with blue eyes, both Bulma and Vegeta would have to have blue eye genes for him to inherit.
This is interesting because I don't remember ever seeing a saiyan with naturally blue eyes. They may turn blue after going super saiyan, but they change back after exiting that form. In fact, I think the only eye color aside from black we've seen on a saiyan is that yellowish hazel Broly sometimes has (in the new Broly movie, anyway). To my knowledge, blue is just not an eye color that's native to saiyan biology.
So why does Trunks have blue eyes if Vegeta shouldn't have any blue eye genes for him to pass onto his offspring? Could it be that all saiyan eye colors are recessive to human eye colors, regardless of pigmentation?
Or maybe, just maybe, Vegeta himself isn't a pure bred saiyan?
#dragonball z#headcanon#dbz#vegeta#trunks#bulma#This applies to Bulla having blue eyes too#Also this isn't like a hard stance I'm taking in the fandom or anything#I'm just having fun pondering how a brief lesson on basic genetics from highschool would apply to the DBZ universe

Couldn't the fact X is so powerful be - at least partially - because he doesn't have any hero name (as for now at least). If everyone knows him as X, and everyone believes and trusts in the idea that is Hero X; then his trust value could come from that lack of name? Previous Xs had other hero name like Smile or E-Soul. But if X never gave himself a name OR was never given a name by his believers, then whoever believes in X(again, as a concept, not as who is currently Hero X) or the very idea of hero existence period gives him power. I wonder if that can't be a way he found to cheat the system or sth akin to that...
His powers would be lying in the very fact everyone believes anyone can become a hero. He's a nobody - technically speaking. no name, actual commoner life, ...
Alternatively, he started it all by calling himself X from the start and so anyone believing in any of the current X (until and also including himself) also believed in him whether they knew it or not? more skeptical about that idea ngl
#i literally just entered the tbhx universe and fandom. be nice to me plz#im aware i could be talking bs rn#tbhx#to be hero x#wonder if that can tie to his power(s) too..#let's say his power is imagination - literally all his believers do is imagine whatever he could be (which all heroes do - but other heroes#have a more defined image. X only has mystery which means endless potential)#which could also explain how Queen ranks so high - she can set rules so she also has something akin to reality bending#but Queen's powers are limited to a zone - X aren't#and here's the thing right. heroes stop being commoners the moment believers know their names their faces etc#even Lin Ling isnt really one; he became a hero despite everything. his trust value is high#but X? nobody actually knows anything about X. and he actually works outside of being a hero. commoner work. even lin ling stopped that#they're all defined by their heroes identity. but X actually has a life and an 'ordinary' one outside of his doings as X#if X stops being a commoner and becomes his full-time hero persona he'd actually lose the source of his power. possibly#all other heroes are trapped in what believers believe them to be#which X also suffers from - but considering how anonymous he remains his power should really (partially) comes from the fact everybody#believes in the Trust Value system and the fact it could be apply to anyone#perhaps thats the loophole. perhaps thats what he figured out
