As an Australian (one that doesn't live too far from the Norris Nuts, might I add, in case there's a difference based on geographical location), no one ever calls it 'college'. I recently went to the University of Newcastle (Callaghan Campus) for a 'Big Day In' (which was basically people who work in the technology industry talking about ICT careers for 5 hours, but this isn't relevant), and did not hear any of the many teachers/professors or the approximately 500 students (mostly high schoolers and some uni students) call it college. It was mostly 'uni' with some people calling it 'university' for formalities.I‘m in New Zealand. Is it common to call university ‘college’ in Australia? I know you guys typically say university, so are they catering to US viewers, or are they used interchangeably?
It’s always confusing because in NZ, high school and college mean the same thing, and we only say university
Yeah, the Year 11s (the year that Sabre would be in currently) at my school are already being called Year 12s because the actual Year 12s are doing their HSC (that's the Australian equivalent of the SAT/ACT to Americans, GCE to British people, NCEA to Kiwis, you get the idea), then once they're done, a few more formalities and they're out of there. The 'Year 12s' (Year 11s) at my school completed their end-of-course exams last term.Most 17 year olds are either doing or have just finished their final exams or completed the first year course required for their year 12 classes. This conversation should have happened a year ago, not now. Poor Sabre.
Little extra note about the Sabre-potentially-getting-higher-education fiasco; like @opal73 stated, TAFE would probably benefit her greatly.
Also, another eating challenge? Did they not learn from the backlash garnered from their 'who can gain the most weight' challenge? How these food-centred challenges could cause one or more of the kids to gain a negative relationship with food? Sabre has stated on multiple occasions how she doesn't feel pretty and sometimes mentions her weight. The last thing we want is for her, or any sibling for that matter, to develop a restrictive eating disorder due to the parents borderline forcing their kids to stuff their faces for a stupid vlog, then (probably) outright bodyshame the kids when finding out that binge eating will cause weight gain. We all saw what happened to Justin around 2018, all because he had a dad bod at the time. And hell, I'm saying all of this and I didn't watch the vlog.
But apparently they were discussing getting another dog? It doesn't take a genius to know why that's an awful idea, because besides Winky, the dogs haven't lasted in the home for more than two weeks, tops. Bubba got stepped on 5 days after being adopted, and Demi got given away after 1-2 weeks.
Apologies for the rant(s).
