Topic: College/Uni!

[SirBlaziken]

Just finished the second weeks worth of coursework for my poly sci. class online. Still haven't missed a question of the quizzes.

Get the editions from a few years before, they'll be far cheaper on Amazon and there's also the Uni library which you can borrow some of the books from

 I'll probably have to get some older editions, aye. The sociology books that we used in college were all based on older studies and unless someone destroys all of Jung's work or something, I can't see them becoming invalidated any time soon.

 The library is going to be a Godsend and it's 24/7 so I'm hyper excited.

there's also other ways to... scour... the internet for a PDF where you could end up getting them for free. this is how i went all last year without paying a cent for books

today i spoke to one of my old friends from last year, the one i didn't have such a problem with. he was cool with me, we hung out for a bit. good to know at least he doesn't hate me. we had a lot in common

I always found that to be hit and miss because it'd depend on what books and how rare they were. I'd always find sections on Google Scholar but not always full amounts.

The joys of doing a music technology degree where EVERYTHING was online.

Referencing YouTube videos was an absolute joy.

the ones that get me are the "online lab" that you gotta pay for the book to get the access code. like so far i have one book i couldn't find, rents for $77, so I gotta drop that money. I was browsing amazon and it suggested I bundled the 3 books I know I'll need so far, but I found the 2 of them online -- about $500 to do it the normal way. Sooo expensive. When you pay like $25-30k for tuition, idk, it all counts.

 Who would have thought that the "Bar Society" wasn't related to alcohol. smh.

I've found some pretty rare books by looking around.  Odds are you need to clean up search terms or look harder.  It's a pain in the ass though, but it'll eventually work.

My english book is a "school exclusive" and i hope it's a dupe of a book by some company or a rewrite by some professor. if it's an original work i'll be surprised tbh but it's $100 for a book that's on a plastic binding and looks like it was printed on our school's black and white printer...

 First day of uni today and the entire class seems really nice! I was actually surprised by how many people were studying Psychology since about 30 joined the group and there was easily 100 people in the lecture hall.

 Definitely joining the Psychology Society since they have really cool looking hoodies and they've made cakes that look like brains? Plus there's a smashing volunteering program which will provide experience for my CV and I get to help out.

 The only problem is that it's a 50 minute walk from the uni to the train station and I was wearing boots so I'm practically dead.

I can't tell whether my personal tutor enjoys tossing banter about or whether he's already decided he doesn't like me lmao.

Met some nice people on my course I guess but Fresher's is kinda disappointing. There's a bunch of people in my block calling themselves "the squad" an my kitchen all really hate them.

My course have an open mic afternoon at a local pub on Thursday and they want people to bring some of their writing and I really don't wanna have to speak in front of them.

hahaha oh god "squad". if it makes you feel any better eventually those people will realize they're probably not gonna be best friends for the rest of college or probably even until the end of the school year, and then they're gonna end up like what i was with no friends and nervous to begin again lol

speaking of that i did make quite a few new friends. i was pretty glad that by the second weekend i was back into the groove a bit. earlier this week i met some people i really got along well with and we've been hanging out a lot recently. they're all freshmen but honestly i don't care because so far our personalities mesh pretty well and we have similar interests.

happy the funk is over... but i woke up this morning and i swear my room was like 40 degrees and i came so close to skipping my first class :p i'm not trying to skip this year like i did last year though.

 Squad is life, squad is love. Can't handle the bantz then you got antz in ur pantz.

[not chloe]

Yeah we're bringing the bants but we're kinda keeping to ourselves about it?

We had a group Domino's and got 50% off with the vouchers uni gave us and it was absolute goals

Anyone that refers to them and their group of mates as 'the squad' needs a kick in the face.

"Oi, Lads! Lads! Lads! I just saw the funniest pic on Lad Bible!"
"Safe! You need to get on that UniLad stuff as well, proper top bants innit"
"Y'know mate. You fancy a Greggs? I'm proper starvin."
"Don't worry lads, I've got a few quid on my Nando's gift card. Cheeky Nando's on me!"
"Smiffy, you're like the Archbishop of Banterbury pal! All aboard the banter bus!"

They're the sort of people that when you're in the pub would go.

"Look after my pint while I go for a wee"
"Oi, Lads! I'm gonna put a massive bogey in James's pint!"
*James drinks pint*
"HAHAHAHA! We put a bogey in your pint!"

He's not going to go "Aw, top lad points and banter king badge for you!" He's going to go "Right, £2.20 please, I want another Fosters. Plus you're not sitting near me you psycho."

Do they happen to do sports courses by any chance?
