Not really lol, I do it almost every day.
i hope you mean mess about with synths every day cos if so then good
too many people these days just switch to presets and do the same crap everyone else does and its like people this is why the 2010s will be recognised as the decade when dubstep ruined everything
I need some more work experience in order to consolidate my applications to do vet. medicine for uni starting in 2014, but I'm having a bit of trouble and people aren't phoning me back. 
Anybody who can tell me what I can expect from uni would be a big help because these last couple of pages seem to be a wee bit negative about it and that is scary.
I thought I might try to relate to the current topic in some way.
goodness sake liam dont listen to my moanings im 25 and have to juggle a part time job along with being dyslexic thats why im moaning lmao
im never serious except when im serious
if i can give you any pointers about university:
- dont go for league tables unless you find a league table relevant for your course, i.e. if you want to be a Name in art you usually try for Goldsmiths or if you want to do chemistry you usually think about UCL (londons attempt at an oxbridge) or warick or sheffield
i may be biased with the lasto nne i hate the studying and some lecturers are useles but i wont deny that i wouldn't have gone anywhere else now im here
- they like to see independant study - try and learn some vetinary basics like pigeon anatomy or s/t try and let them know you independantly gave yourself a headstart
- attend all your lectures even if they're pointless, the lecturers tell you what you will be examined on in the first lecture but no-one pays attention and i only noticed it when i was listening to recordings of the lecture
- if there's something up and you are having trouble GO TO SOMEONE ABOUT IT do not pretend nothing is happening not only because they will be able to sort a problem out before it snowballs but you also have a track record of saying you have a problem cos they're not psychic they don't know you have a crippling anxiety about dissecting rabbit livers or w/e ever since a traumatic childhood incident or s/t like that
- did i mention independant study i did this is just to reiterate it like you wILL find second year is all about going through textbooks to find one that speaks out to you
i.e. for me and organic chem its Organic Chemistry by D. Klein anyone doing chemistry literally take note of this
so the sooner you learn how to teach yourself a course the better cos one day the lecturer will be awful and you will already have a headstart cos you d/led the syllabus and also found the old notes they forgot to delete hahahahahah suckas ive got notes that i shouldn't have but i do so
- unis like to know you want to actually go to them, gear your personal statement so it doesnt look like you're taking the mick i.e. you've geaed it towards getting into st andrews yet an ex-poly uni is reading this
- you may be rejected for a uni that you were sure you were going to get into and you will have to deal with this because even if you're the best student you're battling with students exactly like you and you might just cop out on dumb luck dont' forget universities have to satisfy demographic parameters which is what the idiots in the local newspaper didn't get when they were like "Top As student gets rejected for uni" and the uni is all "we can't take on all white all male students we're sorry we get done for that kind of thing" and no-one listens
- make sure your personal statement actually reflects the fact that you want to be a dang good vet cos theres nothing more they hate seeing than "ive written this for chemistry but am applying for biomedical science" like i did lmao and tbh i only did it just cos before being told that chemistry is deffo the way to go for what i want to do
- i dont know about vet medicine but vet medicine is going to be EXTREMELY hard its not just the case of "oh i want to be a vet" like most kids have like you do know what you're potentially letting yourself in for right like you basically have to deal with a sort of pretend version of adult life and it is a huge shock
- learn to budget; this isn't a vet med tip but remember it anyway since im doling out advice about uni
- attend all the office hours you can (office hours are when they're like 'i'll be here to go through bits you understand' frickin use them cos somehow they'll do what they should have done in the lecutre)
- if your course doesn't count the first year in the final grade DO NOT use this as an excuse to slack off and not bother learning how to uni study you will regret this in second year
- make sure it's what you really want to do and not what you think you should do although this goes without saying but make sure you really do want to be a vet like the world won't yell at you cos you took a gap year to figure stuff out in fact they openly welcomed that i was ~21 at entering uni and had 3 years of Adult Life under my belt
- try to know the boundaries of your personal statement, i.e. what you can push and what you can't. Thestudentroom.co.uk has a private Personal Statement review clinic:
link herechemistry was a place full of looneys so i just made some allegory about chemistry being the art of alchemy and temperance and a place where knowledge could be refluxed into the chemical product known as Success like i basically condensed down hermetic alchemy into a bunch of paragraphs
it was the stupidest thing ever but it got me in
twice
(i tried to self-study the entire chemistry A Level in 6 months with no lab experience at all and surprise surprise i failed!!! thats why i had to apply twice)
they'll be wanting to see a personal statement that isn't just the usual frickin "my name is Carol Twent. I like being a vet cos its what i like. I did work experience in some place once. I like uni. i am the same application as every other one you will get"
like you soon learn that they want you to tick boxes but don't just do only that and sit there and expect to be praised for it like they need a box named "yes they're in" which secretly means "they stood out from the rest" of course moderate this and don't go completely doolally or they'll just think you're mental and throw it in the bin
- also dragonpika's advice about the fact that just because they're a good name dude they're not the best at teaching
we have literal field-famous geniuses and they're absolutely crap teachers cos you can tell they want to be research fellows or professors and not have to deal with students any more
the sooner you learn that some of the dudes are really underappreciated like the guy who teaches us group theory he's such a big nerd and hes not doing the Superly Top Important Money Lauding Chemistry Stuff or like winning PhD sponsorships off Unilever like some of the people in the department are
but its so adorable he even has these really twee photos of his kids in his office like with "studying with pen and highlighter in hand" pose and its just so....like i just cant help falling in love with the dude its adorable
and he like explained how when you do this one group theory operation you all keep saying it's the same but its not cos the orbitals are inverted!!! thats why a reflection along one plane gives you a -1 for the group table!
and its also annoying cos i took him for granted last year and didnt think much of him and now every time he passes me in the corridor he's all "hi!" and im like thinking "oh gosh hes so cool"
sorry i'll stop giving tips that only become useful once you've made the mistakes i did but the bottom line of it is it's like getting up early on a saturday morning and having a coffee you absolutely HATE doing it sometimes but you literally wouldn't be anywhere else in the world at that point in your life if you had the decision cos there is nothing else like it
christ why am i giving tomes on advice im meant to keep this stuff to myself and also on puk im officially meant to be on record for not giving a
