College/Uni!

[not chloe]

Nah sports is on a different campus but you're pretty much spot on with the personalities haha

They're all doing like Biology and other stuff like Advertising idk

[Milsap]

The ones like that at my uni all did sports courses and could only communicate through football chants. Blew all their students loans within a week of getting them and were complaining they had no money for anything essential.

They called themselves the 'chaps' though rather than 'the lads' or 'the squad'.

 Tried joining some societies today in the fresher's fayre but I only managed two before I had to leave since it was packed and those environments make me aggressive lol

Managed to join Student Minds because I thought it was the Psychology Society... which makes sense since the lady at the stall seemed rather surprised. On the plus side, it's a mental health charity that offers support to students and that'll look great on a CV and I get to make friends and experience.

Looks like I'm going back to join the Psychology society tomorrow lol

man i had a revelation while sitting in class last semester

six straight years of classes sucks so much ass

like, and theyve all been physics, there comes a point where I feel like I've learned the same thing multiple times now

Could be worse, you could be teaching and having to regurgitate everything you ever learned to people who don't to listen.

[Lord Raven]

Oh I'm doing that right now in order to get funding, so it's pretty much crap

[Milsap]

It's definitely not a career choice I'd recommend. When your doctor tells you to change career it's got to be bad

[Pam-the-Lamb]

 All my lectures are placed online for later references so is it worth waiting and writing up my notes on Saturday/Sunday? It just seems better to be able to do a summary of my notes and use some of that beautiful, sexy, critical thinking.

Tbf I just can't be bothered to write them up tonight since I'm tired.

[That Girl in the 'Roo Suit]

Nahh, make notes whilst you're there, and use the slides etc for further reference. A lot of them wont contain all the extra info, so just dont write down anything that's already said, and use them to supplement it

[Milsap]

Plus you'll miss out on any critical thinking if someone asks an absolute corker of a question.

I used to play Football Manager in lectures thinking I could get away with it. You can in first and some of second year but third year you actually have to do some work.

[Pam-the-Lamb]

 Ah, manz... I do write down little nuggets of information but I'm still in my introduction lectures so it sucks right now. They're just really boring and people are too awkward to actually sit in the seat next to me.

Managed to buy all the books though, so I'll try and take a crapload of revision notes on Saturday.

[Kpyna]

midterms are coming up in a couple weeks for me, pretty scared about that

and yeah, i always take notes in class in a notebook. i know a lot of people like to use laptops but i'm not about that, i've read some studies that say you don't retain info as well if you don't write it. i usually make a point to write down what's on the slides (for memory purposes) and then bullet underneath them any elaboration my professor makes on the point

also today i became a part of my school's DOTA 2 Collegiate League team! I was so hyped we managed to get 5 people together on my tiny campus.

[Milsap]

All this exam talk makes me glad I didn't do a single exam at my uni.

Okay, I did one. And it was optional.

I guess I'm just lazy.

[Pam-the-Lamb]

 This one guy keeps sitting near me in lectures but not next to me.

It's also the third time that I've missed the head nod that you do when a guy sits on your row.

[Shaymin]

eugh paying for my own tuition is a giant pain in my behind
like the money has gone out and we have the proof but the paying system is like "lol nah u havne't paid" like bruh..... why are you doin this to me
