I did the same thing, and it is funny cause now that I only drink sugar-free coffee I actually enjoy it much more!
And I'm also able to tell difference between good coffee and bad coffee cause there is no sugar in the way hiding coffee's taste.
I once complained at the office that we were out of sugar at the coffee corner, after same asking around, I found out that I was the only one in the office drinking coffee with sugar. That meant I alone consumed the entire box (1500 portions of 5g) of sugar... A collaege gave me the best advice ever: "It's all between your ears, stop with sugar and within a week you'll no longer mis it". He was right.
Very good points made. I agree with most of them, one thing I find too is that everyone has different opinions about each section and how the points should be laid out, which is absolutely fine. But it does sort of makes me insecure about which way is truly "right" (guess there's no right or wrong).
Thanks for your answer and effort, really appreciate that you'd take your time to do something like that. :)
I think that I have a fairly good amount of diversified experience, for an undergraduate. I don't want to make this about me in particular, I'd like a more general answer. But I get what you mean I definitely need to make it stand out. Thanks.
As a Brazilian living in the UK for about 5 years now.
It's worth noticing that R$ 678,00 is the current minimum wage in Brazil, which means that it would take around 4 months and 2 weeks to save up, before tax, and not buying anything else in order to get your hands on just the console. I'm 22 and I was very fortunate, to have a family that could provide me pretty much anything I wanted. The contrast between the rich and the poor is so damn high it makes me sick.
Depending on where you live, though, a minimum wage sallary is not a realistic measure of poor people's income. Living in São Paulo for about 6 years now, I've yet to find someone who makes minimum wage. The janitor who cleans my building makes about twice that amount. I think minimum wage is more common in interior cities and in the northern states.
And yes, the contrast between rich and poor is too high. We've thought about moving to Europe, but I think I'll miss the sun too much... I know it sounds silly, but I'm just about to leave São Paulo for its crappy weather, which isn't even that crappy (I can sunbathe in my living room during all winter).
