If you can, try and talk to some people who are at the uni at the moment as well. If someone gives you a tour, ask them questions about what it's like. That way you'll get a better feel for the place than just by looking around.
Yeah Make sure you do!
IT'S YOUR CHOICE. Not something to be influenced by randoms on the internet. You just don't know until you go, this is why you need to go. Stop letting blooming random folk on t'internet tell you what's what. You need some bloody reality.
I say you bite the bullet, try it out if it's shite then you come home and shrug your shoulders and say "Welp, I tried it."
Fin.
Things that you are worried about!!!!!
Agreed with the post above.
Seriously if one of your major worries about all this is because of your poor cooking skills then its definitley time you flew the nest.
a) You need to gain the basic life skills that will give you independence because you wont ever get anywhere in life without some measure of independence.
b) You need to be able to make decisions without going onto an internet message board looking for answers and over analysing every aspect of it.
I hope you aren't taking this as an attack because it genuinely isn't meant to be one but I am amazed how much your depending on this place for your decisions. I half expected you to copy and paste the forms and ask someone to fill them out for you.
Your what? 19? You're an adult and you need to be able to make decisions for yourself. Talking over your concerns is one thing, all this is quite another.
Good luck with it all. From my own experience going to uni was the best decision i ever made. Jump in at the deep end, keep an open mind and have some fun!
At the end of the day, you are not going to know if University is for you until you go. You've always got the option of leaving if you don't like it. If you don't give it a try, you will only regret it.
Oh god.
You are always the victim, eh.
reported? for what? being slightly too blunt? :rolleyes:
Anyway, as for those who had something serious to say in this thread, and weren't using it to make personal attacks ad nauseum, I'd just like to say I've made my decision. I've thought about it over the weekend, I'm going ahead with university, partly to prove my critics wrong. Just you watch me. I've been fighting depression for years, I'm fighting schizophrenia, and I'm winning. And I'm going to get to university and get a fantastic degree. Just you wait!
Even if 1983 called you a monkey fucker with a really small penis, what difference would it make?
You asked for people's views, they gave them, if you dont like it ignore them.
It wasn't nasty, blunt yes. But you need to stop thinking that the moderators will ban me or whatever because all my posts I've made in the whole 4 years of being here do not revolve around you.
he is, you're right.
the best bet is to not comment in ANY of his threads or at ANYTHING he says. if you do, he'll accuse you of bullying and report you to a mod.
just pretend he's not there. :yes:
What was disgraceful about it? She makes a very good point. Stop moaning all the goddamn time.
Go on, report me now, I dare you.... :rolleyes:
They mean you like to be set upon, you seem to revel in your status as 'the one everyone picks on'.
seriously, i have no idea how the hell you can construe 1983's post as disgraceful
There may not be any truth in that, but thats certainly how it comes across.
Did you really need to report that post? Was it really that nasty?
now thats pretty much what 1983 said, so am i going to get reported now
SG, do whatever you want, Hurrah I'm getting reported now
I'm serious SG, what difference would it have made if she had really insulted you, really mouthing off about the size of your ears for example? What actual difference would it make?
Yes, because that is what I do with ALL my time. Hunt out posts by you and belittle you.
YOU think I've breached rules, I think I've made a valid point. Get your finger out, lad and buck up.
I think you're reading too much into what she's written. I don't see any personal attacks in this thread just honest feedback which is surely what you were looking for when you made it? Thats the point of asking advice on the internet ... we don't know you, we have no reason to sugar coat it.
Well done on the decision, you'll have a great time :thumb:
