Uni too easy for me

Im under no illusions that the course is not going to get harder in the second and third year. I am anything but a geek, but i cant understand why im doing so well. I got poor grades at A level, but scraped into Leeds Met, got lower than the required CCC for my course.
I only have 7 hours of seminars, and do about 2 hours additional work on average per week, the rest of the time im out partying. I just feel my degree will be completly worthless, if someone like me (who always struggled at A levels) can be getting 75-80% in essays with such little effort.
I repeat, complacency, and self admiration is anything but the theme of this post:thumb: Just wanted to know anyones opinion on the possibilties of changing my course or even my beloved university (leeds met).

If it's really boring you then talk to your tutor and see what the options are.
:yes:
Tbh, I think getting a degree is more dependant on hard work, not on brainpower anyway. I got shit A levels, but am getting alright grades (now I get learner support). The first year is easy though.
so think yourself lucky and try not to get to complacent, 'cos I'm sure it'll get harder next year and you dont want too much of a shock!
1st year was a doddle for me. We were able to get exemptions for the June exams by getting over 60% in our January exams. I ended up having only one exam in June of first year. First year's even more lax in scotland though because every course is 4 years.
As long as you're still interested in the course that you're doing I wouldn't worry about it at all.
I know someone doing Geology at Edinburgh and the first year is fucking solid.
I was aware that it will get harder for next year, in fact in a years time i'll proberly be back here with me tail between my legs complaining how hard my course is and wanting to quit!
Everyone told me not to work in the first year because it's so easy, but it's anything but.
I didn't realise i was so in the minority.
The amount of work is unreal compared to other stories Ive heard really, I'm anticipating having no social life next year.
there are a LOT of doss courses out there, I think you can gain more self respect getting through by challenging yourself though.
Different unis, different courses.
