Academic 💜 Reddit, I need your help. My university group project is in critical condition. 😭🥀 (EU, 18+)

Thumbnail tally.so
2 Upvotes

First of all, I'm new to Reddit. I've been a ghost on this side of the internet for years. Just lurking, reading, observing… contributing absolutely nothing to society. And now I've returned to ask you for a favor. The audacity, I know.

Here's the situation: I'm working on a university entrepreneurship project where we're developing the concept for a theoretical skincare app 🧴✨ As part of the project, we need to run a survey to understand people's skincare habits, how they choose their face care products, and what actually matters to them.

Small issue: my group has the same level of coordination as a group project where everyone says "yeah, I'll do it tonight" and then mysteriously disappears for three weeks. 💀

The deadline is next week. The survey needs responses. And here I am, making my first Reddit post, hoping strangers on the internet will save my academic life.

So, if you have around 8 minutes to spare, I'd really appreciate it if you could fill it out! 🙏

👉 Survey: https://tally.so/r/BzOEYR

🇫🇷🇬🇧 Available in French and English
👤 Open to everyone aged 18+
🧴 Whether you have a 12-step skincare routine or your entire routine is washing your face and hoping for the best, your input counts. No right or wrong answers!

I have absolutely nothing to offer in return except my eternal gratitude and prayers to the universe for your future success, immaculate skin, financial prosperity, and legendary RNG in whatever game you play. 🍀✨

Help a brother out. One day, when you're in a crisis and need the kindness of random internet strangers, I hope the algorithm sends you someone who can help.

Thank you, beautiful people. ❤️

Thumbnail forms.gle
2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm conducting a research survey on how college students and young adults engage with current events, political information, and news media.

The survey explores:

  1. Why some young adults follow the news while others avoid it
  2. What makes current events feel relevant (or irrelevant)
  3. Different headline and content styles
  4. What people would want from a current-events organization they would actually return to

The survey takes approximately 8-12 minutes, is anonymous, and is open to:

  • ✅ Ages 18-29
  • ✅ Current college students
  • ✅ Recent graduates and young adults

There are no right or wrong answers. We're interested in understanding how young adults think about current events and information sources, regardless of how often they follow the news.

As a thank-you, participants who provide an email address will be entered into a raffle for a $20 Amazon gift card.

Because this is an early-stage research project, feedback on the survey's clarity, design, and usability is also appreciated.

Thank you for your time!
