    Thank you @Apollo
    Do you currently go to uni or...? If you don't mind me asking.

    @lovemimoon I went to uni last year for Social Sciences but I didn't like it so I'm dropping it and I'm doing Music Tech this year, got an unconditional and all that jazz, what about you?

    @Apollo Yees! Good luck! How are you feeling about that??

    Well, I was planning to take a year off but after talking to pretty much anyone who would listen, I decided to go on with the year. :joy:

    Thanks :​) I'm looking forward to it, I feel like I've never been bad at something when I try and this is something I actually want to be good at. I'm gonna be schmoovin and groovin

    Hope you enjoy next year at uni, it'll be my first in person year (hopefully), so I'm kind of excited, given how last year was all online and how little I cared it feels like I'm about to go into uni for the first time, I want to make friends with people and stuff.

    Not really that related but I was just thinking I'm really glad I found this site, it's great

    I did a year of computer science but had to come home because well, I wasn't safe anymore. Was a massive fuck up and a waste of time and I was miserable the entire time i was there.

    It’s weird, I don’t know if I ever want to go to uni or even back to education at all.

    @Apollo I did social sciences too but at college and it was really hard, was yours like psychology and stuff?

    I’m also very glad I found this site, I’ve stuck around for a looong time because I love it here.

    I was emergency taxed when I first started my current job but I don't know if it was for the pension 😅

    Just finished swimming again. At this point I just embarrass myself and drown. I think I either need to quit or start lessons cause I’m starting to give up. 😅 but look at how well my eye make up stayed on!

    @independent_
    I think I would've done psychology if I kept doing the course but I just did history, sociology, French, politics, economics and an interdisciplinary module.
    Without sounding like too much of a hippie it was just rotten academia and I'd hate to live my life doing something like that

    Also you don't have to return to education, just do what makes you happy

    @Apollo tbh I agree. It was all essays and it was so stressful in the end because it was just constant pressure of academics. And I’m not a very academic person. I was never any good at studying no matter how much I tried to make it fun.

    It feels strange to be saying I might never go back at the age of 18, when most others I know are just starting uni or college. Who knows. At least I know that particular course wasn’t for me. I did enjoy psychology and politics but I couldn’t get my head round sociology and history bored me to tears.

    Evening (well, it’s almost night, so I may as well say evening while I can)
