    @toffuna101 , how did your all-nighter go!? Were you up for a specific reason, or struggling to sleep maybe?

    I sometimes don't like lifts in certain maybe even most scenarios

    Sorry I should have been more specific in terms of that, I don’t like them either and can get claustrophobic but I might lifts as in getting driven about

    Had some issues about lifts and counselling earlier. I just basically prefer driving to places myself separately even if someone is going to the same location as me but had some issues coz apparently "its a waste of fuel" but its just better because I could go home or whatever a different time and I just get my own space. Also apparently I "dont need counselling". I think its ok now though.

    Why is maths so hard? Cus you think oh maths is easy this is fine then bam your doing logarithms and imaginary numbers like at least physics is upfront about. I remeber my physics teacher was saying physics is hard and we were like cool and she was like no like its really hard and we were like noo and yeah its hard but its upfront about it it doesn't hide that its hard i went to a uni open day today it was pretty cool I got to see the facilities and everything and this cute guy came upto me and was like is this the electronic engineering tour and I was like yeah its a genreal tour of the labs and then he was like ok im gonna stay with you guys and then my brain melted cus he was rly cute and I just walk off to my dad then he went to stand next to someone else and I died on the inside and was like why didnt I talk to him cus he was like super cute 🫠

    Edit: sometimes I hate my brain like i could of hit up a convo woth him bit nooo I had to go and get all flustered i could of made a new friend ugh im so mad at myself 😭

    I was revising physics the other day and I was asking chatgpt to like explain photons and stuff and like we were talking abt how photons would gain energy and i just remembered it and now I cant stop laughing bc I keep meaning a drunk photon just oscillating around bumping into nucleus doing pair production

    Edit: why do I all of a sudden feel like im going to have a panic attack feels like no one is ever on here when I need it the most or like people just never seem to see my posts - sorry that sounded really selfish

    @Cutelivejazz there might not be a time machine yet (actually, quantum mechanics does get a little spooky around the topic of time), but here's the thing. You'll learn from this, and be ready for next time. Think of it like learning from a mistake. Besides, if you do go to that uni, you'll probably bump into him again tbh, if he's working around the labs, like you would be if you went there. It's okay to have gotten overwhelmed and been unsure what to say. Being overwhelmed and nervous is human.

    And yeah, physics is one of the funnest, but it's also one of the most sanity destroying subjects out there. It's worth it if you love the subject i'd say. Just beware of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, cause they are the hardest. I once read a physics book a few years back, and it's introduction stood out to me. It's called States of Matter if you wanted to give it a quick read, and chapter 1 paragraph 1 starts of..... very interestingly and straightforward to say the least about statistical mechanics. But if you love the subject, and have a passion for it, then it's worth it.

    And math's always goes quite mad at higher levels. It's literal insanity at some points, but fortunately, i had a good math teacher myself. The man was literally flown out to international conference's. The good news is that as you get to higher levels of maths, you start to get lecturers who are genuinely good at the subject, who are passionate about it, which is why they are teaching at that level, which helps a huge amount.

    I hope the whole uni tour went well for you jazz.

    Hey @Cutelivejazz how are you feeling today?

    We'll be running a support thread here on the boards 11am-12:30pm if you'd like to come along to that for support. I'm mindful our Community isn't as active during the nighttime, so I also wanted to mention that you can text "THEMIX" to 85258 for one-to-one support and they are there for you 24/7.

    @Katie im okay today thank you for checking in
  • NathanNathan Community Connector Posts: 2,512 Boards Guru
    @Cutelivejazz hi jazz. I was online last night, but i wasn't able to post anything on boards due to a technical problem with spam filters, so everything i was posting needed to be approved first, and as there was no mods online at that time of night, none of my post's were coming through onto boards. The two posts earlier i actually made last night. All sorted now, but sorry i wasn't able to offer you any support last night.

    It really sounds awful what you went through, and i'm glad your doing okay now friend.

    I have that new car day feeling like a dacia sandero or mg3 or something not been told anything but i just have that feeling we could do with one like a pool car.
