Snoo V7 - ah spring, has sprung, a SNOO! (bless you).

I think that's the point I was trying to make to Summer (although you made the point a lot better lurching ;)). It seems a pointless slog now Summer but it can open so many doors for you...or equally if you jack it it in now it can close just as many doors in your face.

I very nearly dropped out of my economics degree in my second year, but I had the incentive to carry on. I think it's often hard for a young man or woman to make decisions that will shape the rest of their lives at suck a young age. Especially when they are having a great time outside of uni and classroom work becomes even more boring.

Only you know what's best for you hun, but don't rush anything. Look how many people leave uni, then massively regret it and are desperately tying to sign up again. However, due to the fact that the courses from everywhere are massively oversubscribed.

Please don't leave because of a sudden bout of boredom but stick in and earn your degree. Those letters after your name seem suck an accomplishment....and one you will never forget ;)

Hey Lurching! Hoe are you. Just wanted to offer my sincere apologies for the other day. I was bang out of order....
so sorry though mate. I just hope you will forgive me <3 <3 ;) ;)

Summer - don't leave now hun, you'll regret it later. I know when you're 20 it's difficult to see into next week let alone 20 years down the line, but in today's world if you have the chance at a degree and don't take it you'll regret it. Jobs are just too hard to come by and starting uni then fucking it off sends an awful message to potential employers

Some people just aren't suited to education. I've never enjoyed it, felt forced into going to uni because we were never made to feel like the was really another choice. The first term this year has really magnified how badly suited to it I am because of how much happier I am away from it all. Some parts are good but mainly you are forced to study things you have zero interest in and will have zero practical benefit in real life (especially in subjects like English).

I should have got top marks in everything and ended up at an Oxbridge uni (was predicted full a*s at a level and gcse) but because I didn't give a shit and didn't revise I only just got into Birmingham as I missed my offer by two grades. And now I'm there I kinda wish I hadn't got in at all, will def take a year off if nothing else and see how I feel.

Past year or so I've been realising that getting a good job isn't my main aim in life anymore. I want to do something I enjoy, preferably starting my own business, mainly though I want to settle down and get married and have kids and stuff.

Guess it's been kinda nice realising that cos since then I've been less stressed about uni and how well I do or not. Money's nice but some things matter more, I used to care about money so much but now I'd rather have a life where I'm happy about real things and surrounded by love rather than wasting time on what ultimately doesn't matter.

Very snoofull and soppy, I must be the only person that gets an afterglow after ripping through meth and hardly sleeping for 3 days. Not complaining though, sun out and life is gooood. <3

AND, if you ask me (you shouldn't) it's TRUE that you can make up for A LOT by just working fabously hard with fab unwavering long term vision.


PS. englandgz you are either TOO NICE, or undercover cop. I mean that in the best way. I can take a lot of warranted and unwarranted abuse.. Otherwise, I can be MEAN in real life because I'm not overly happy but then end up just heaping shame an guilt on me plate.


Now, getting stoned on tibetan hash while just listening to storm developing outside.

That's the same with a lot of things as my economics degree. It was pretty much irreverent shit. I did come to learn however that unlike degrees such as medicine, nursing, dentistry etc. Some others (like mine and by the sound of it sound too) seem irrelevant in today's world....Not all bluelighters would even be to

I got half way through and nodded off while pressing send and not finishing it. Should have finished:-

Not all bluelighters would even be able to have given the excellent chance you have. Please don't waste it hun as I'm worried you might regret it later <3

Remember that muddy waters become clear if they are just given time and the worse things to do is jump in with both feet

In the grand scheme of things the time you spend at university getting a degree is nothing, I fucked uni off and it took a good few years of busting a gut to get my life back on track. Doing something you enjoy should always be the number 1 option and finishing your degree will probably ensure that is a lot easier to achieve.

My GF has an english degree and she is struggling to get into something she enjoys, she is probably going to have to go back into education in some form to get where she wants to be. Would probably be completely screwed without it.

Very much agree with you ponch <3
 
The university system seems arse-backwards to me. Comes along right at the time people are least likely to get any real benefit from it due to having just discovered that thing called life whilst also being too young and inexperienced to have much of a clue as to what to do about that fact. I fukked about so much at college I never came close to getting the grades I would need for uni which pissed me off for years. Until it occurred to me that if I had gotten the grades I would've pissed about through uni too and achieved nothing other than a massive debt to pay off. I am now a bit of an auld geezer but still quite fancy the uni thing. In large part cos I'd actually do shit now.

Go for it Shambles mate.

When I did my first degree students still got all fees paid for them and a nice fat grant on top (happy days). Unfortunately when I decided to go to medical school straight after the local authority wouldn't pay for 2 degrees back to back and so I had to quit after my second year due to lack of funds as I was entirely self funding including tuition fees (which weren't paid by students back then in normal circumstances).

The best idea is to get a job that actually pays for your studying. The ambulance service paid for my paramedic science degree course and paid me 20 grand a year wage while I was studying. That's the key nowadays...to have an employer who will pay for your further education. A lot of companies pay for employees to study at uni on day release. Such as accountancy, some IT jobs and loads more.

The only other alternative is to have loads of savings (yeah right) or get into a shit load of debt since unless your employer is sponsoring you and letting you split your time between uni and work, you generally can't work full time and go to uni simultaneously.

The one thing I don't understand is why some kids get into 30 or 40 grand of debt to do an utterly pointless degree that has virtually no chance of landing them a job at the end (you know the sort - joint honors degree in media studies and tiddly winks or something like that ). If they are gonna get into all that debt then at least do something worthwhile that will lead to a job at the end of it...
 
My snoo is that I usually do not look forward to or enjoy xmas especially if I'm expected to travel and spend it with family.
This year though I actually wanted to go and I had a bloody good time of it.
To think that this time last year I had just had my first course of chemotherapy and was unsure of what the future held for me. Been a long year of treatment,lost all my hair but now have it all back, although I do still miss my baby smooth ballbag.
Tis amazing what can happen in the space of year. Um so glad that I am still here to spend time with all you lovely folk.

Hey, don't you knock media studies. I'll have you know I even managed to fail that... although I also got to piss about for five years at college along the way for fuck all so swings and roundabouts really :D

Ah yeah but media studies on it's own is fine (after all the media needs studying surely :))....but I bet yours wasn't joint honors with tiddly winks though?

Or a degree in paint drying studies and hopscotch......or "long stand" appreciation studies hahaha!!
 
Nope. It was back-to-back pre-uni piss-about courses - things to waste time whilst getting wasted and not having to work for a living essentially. This seems to be exactly what people in their late teens/early-20s should be doing in order to become well-rounded individuals. I'd suggest that unis should be completely closed off to anybody under 30 at a bare minimum.

LOL!

Actually you're not wrong.

For my first stint at uni I was 19 when I started. Second time 24 and third time 35. As I got older and older relative to my fellow students I couldn't believe how utterly clueless and immature they were. I mean most had never used a washing machine, an iron, washed up dishes or cooked for themselves EVER in their lives. Mummy and Daddy had done it all for them.

Also when you are a bit older the incredibly immature attitude of the younger kids used to drive me fucking nuts. Some of them just aren't emotionally mature enough at 18 to go to uni yet. It's not like the army either where there is someone to tell them what to do to keep them in their place. I knew a lad that lived on mars bars and prawn-cocktail flavor crisps for 10 week during my 3rd stint of uni as he didn't know how to cook anything....fucking ridiculous.

Maybe finish school at 16-18 or whatever then spend a few years out in the real world learning some life skills then go to uni at 25-30 or something
 
I feel properly optimistic about the future for the first time in ages. Over the past few weeks I've really started to realise exactly what I want in life and at the moment it doesn't seem completely impossible.

Maybe that's naive but I was talking to this old man on the train last week as the sun was rising above the icy fields on the day before new years eve and it seemed like a kind of weird sign. He told me he met his wife in Germany and moved to live with her within a few months. They're still happily married 30 years on.

He also said that anything can work if you want it enough and that there's goodness in everyday no matter how hard it may be to find. You've just got to keep looking and trying and one day you'll always be able to see it and it won't be a struggle anymore because it will be all around you.

I'll never forget that and how happy he seemed. I can only hope that my life will one day be equally as full of love and meaning. Fuck money, I'd rather have a family and enough to live on rather than being alone with millions in the bank.

Maybe I'm actually turning into a good person. I blame it on the drugs ;)

If you're lucky. For most people it seems to be a choice between working your butt off and missing out on family stuff just to make more money than you really need or having a job that gives you enough to get by and also allows you to spend all the time you want with your kids and other half and create real memories.

Extreme examples maybe and I'm sure there's a range of circumstances that are better or worse in different ways but I know now that if it was a straight choice between money and love I know what I'd choose. It's the compete opposite to what I would have said a year ago and I can't say how much better I feel for realising it.
