going to uni (scaring the **** out of me)

Hi

just wondered who else is off to uni this year, or has been to uni before, i am off to Aberystwyth (wales) on the 21st and i am finding the whole thought of it quite daunting at the minute, at first i thought that it was cool, but now the time is getting nearer i am a little worried, all of my friends that went to uni last year said that it was cool, but they had family to back them up if they had problems, all i have is myself. and i can't even turn to my friend "Alcohol" at the minute as it is buggering about with my heart and me tablets :rolleyes:. oh well i have one thing that is keeping me sane (Dean ponders for a second, i am sane ???), everyone else going this year is in the same boat, and i suppose it can be fun :)

thanks for listening :) (or reading as the case may be)

good luck to you Dean :)

Cheers mate :)

I'm off to Kent Uni a week on Tuesday, and I'm very scared, coz I'll only be 50 miles away from Ian P Baker!!!!! :p :p :p

wow. alkitab reunites.. i wonder where the hell is tim
i havent seen him in like umm good 6 months

good luck to you Jonathan :)

Good luck to ya both!

Don't worry about Uni, it's great fun (even without booze). It's not like school, you get far more interesting lectures, and alot more lee-way. Oh, yeah and plenty of sex. :D

Money is always a problem (I was skint all the way), but all your mates are in the same way, so you find plenty of cheap ways to amuse yourself (playing monopoly or risk to the following morning), trying to throw water bombs out of your window into the oppossing halls of residence, sex, etc.

be afraid, be very afraid.

I'm sure you'll both have lots of drinking to do :p

Dunno, having to walk 50 miles whilst pissed could prove rather difficult

well, you think you have a better chance pissed :p

I'm going to sound really old here: I finished uni before you were born. OK that said, here's my advice.

Regardless of what you're going to study, KEEP UP TO DATE. Get your tuts and reports and papers and stuff done in time. I fell into the trap many times, of glancing thru a tut (I'm a Civil Engineer) and thinking, Oh no sweat this is easy and putting it aside. Then when it was due, I found it was an hour's work not 10 mins. Or 4 hours not one, or whatever.

Make sure you keep your admin up to date: file each day's notes and that sort of of boring stuff. Miss a lecture?- get the notes from someone pronto. Trust me. When it comes to time to do the work, you'll have the material handy.

Got problems? see someone! A counsellor, a senior student, a tutor. My not doing that, plagues me to this day, so I've no room to talk but I've got brilliant hindsight!

And most of all, enjoy it. It's an amazing experience: do the things you want to- whatever they are. Parties, debates, enviro-club or whatever it's called this year, mountaineering, sport, all those things. Even drink a pint or two. Or twelve, what the hell!

Good Luck to you all.

Dean, I'm sure it'll be fine, although it is scary to think that in 2 weeks time life will never be the same again. But like you said, we're all in the same boat. You'll make new friends soon enough, its not like anyone is gonna know many people at first anyway. Even if you do have any problems, you can still phone home (and you can write total nonsense here)

Good luck mate.. Its fine.. you will find it daunting for the first week (but it will be because you will be so damn drunk that you will wonder if you will wake up in time for lectures!).

You'll do fine as long as you relax and just have fun! :)

Thanks for all of the messages of support, just what i need at the minute, and good luck Jon and Pix

I am in uni, now and it is great fun, there are loads of things to do and the price of a pint is about £1 most nights :)

Oh and i know what pix looks like now, seeing that lots of us went out last night and the night before :)

Listen lads, college is just like cool.
You're nervous goin' in, and then never wanna leave.

It ****ing rules

merlin,
you know a kid called phill barber?

Dean, bit of advise, try not to mix your hard drugs. You will miss a lot of lessons...

You're going to Wales, yet it's Uni you're concerned about? You've got your priorities wrong there...

Since you seem to have survived the first few days you've probably already realised this, but the best advice I can give you is to keep your hair short and never wear a sheepskin coat. Good advice everywhere, of course, but Wales is somewhere where you particularly don't want to get mistaken for a sheep... ;)

dean man, howz things at aberystwyth??

im at aberdeen uni, so far its been a blast, unfortunatly i have a maths lecture (compulsory part of my computing course) at 9, every mornin!! :( (well except monday) but i have managed to avoid any lessons after 10am on fridays :) so that should be fun
