Three straight years of disaster. No friends, no gfs, gym didn't work. I have like 365 days. After that it's over. I hate the degree i'm getting, Parents gonna die eventually. Doom is upon me.

>>37817674
>implying
Lived on campus, and despite having a private bedroom to myself, I didn't get anywhere far with women apart from the occasional drunk kiss, but that's to be expected. It is normie central though, having to put up with stupidly-loud music and drunken shouting at nightime is annoying - and my god, they just don't shut up about relationships or sex, I thought /r9k/ was bad, but I heard normies talking about it every time that I went to the canteen, I swear there's like a huge social database of who's fucked who, and nearly everyone knows about it.

>Please tell me it's easier to meet girls at uni than it is at 6th form.
22 years old here. I became friends with a girl for the first time in real life within the first month in uni. She was the one who initiated the conversation. She was great but eventually she got a gf and shit and that just turned me off. Religious too.
I don't know why I cut off all connections. Maybe I didn't want to racemix (I'm a paki).
Oh well. It's easier because people are adults and treat you with respect to an extent. People in highschool don't

failed my second year and I am now looking for a job before my parents kick me out of the house

>>37817646
you don't get to repeat the year, this isn't school. They just kick you the fuck out and then you have to deal with the debt and the fact that you will never get a degree unless you can afford to pay for another uni course by yourself

Not a uni feel but
>class during summer when my friends are on break
Trade school is hell sometimes

>>37817537
Ausfag so only half way through the year. The social Isolation thing happened real fucking fast but I did manage to establish a handful of friends although alcohol has been my best friend so far.

>>37817537
>tfw in biotechnology in a shitty uni because I had no other choice at the time
>uni had no requirements so there's a bunch of low IQ losers in there with me
>improve my grades because dad will kill me if I don't
>do 4 semesters of biotech in the meantime
>dad keeps calling my uni a joke because he doesn't see me studying all the time
>dad keeps telling me that I'm wasting my life by not setting up a business
>uni is kind of weird because most people are amazingly stupid and can't even pass let alone get good grades
>feel like I don't belong even though my initial grades were shit so I kind of do belong when I don't study
>dad makes me apply to medicine at the best uni with my improved grades
>I might get in
>2 semesters left till I get my biotech bachelors degree
What do I do? I have to make a choice.
Finish what I'm doing or switch to medicine.

>>37818524
oh and I forgot to mention that I've pushed away almost all the friends I had made at uni because I stopped hanging out with them and stopped going to their parties. I don't alcohol after all.
Now I'm still a khv and I'm as socially awkward as I was before coming into uni, except I don't really get scared when talking to girls

>>37818603
it's an uk uni
it's called a "suplementary year"

>>37818524
>It's easier because people are adults and treat you with respect to an extent. People in highschool don't
this so much
I forgot what bullying was in my 1st year
Even the staciest of stacies are super nice, even if you are the autist among autists

>>37818345
You'll find that people are more open and willing to try out relationships, most places will also have a student bar or nightclub either on or close to campus, so it's easier to meet girls in that regard. Actually hooking is up to your actions though, the best advice that I can give is to not fear rejection. Are you talking to a girl but she doesn't seem interested? Just move on and find someone else, no big deal, she won't remember you and you won't remember her. It sounds cold, but that's just the way it is, you can't expect every girl that you meet to be a perfect match for you.

>>37818731
>2 semesters

what have you got to lose by finishing them? Finish your degree then go to medicine

>>37818845
>what have you got to lose by finishing them? Finish your degree then go to medicine
The government only gives me one free degree. If I finish this, then I have to pay for medical degree.
And my marks will drop if I don't take the chance this year. I've got a slight bonus for applying within 2 years of finishing highschool. It has to be now.

>>37817537
Starting uni in fall. Is there psychiatrist on campus I can get drugs from? I feel like I might need anxiety meds. I am pretty much terrified for every single aspect of uni, even little things like using the shower, food or asking questions.

>>37819788

don't be afraid of uni, just live. I let social anxiety get to me in uni, now I dropped out and have nothing going for myself

>>37819788
uni is much less strenuous than highschool.
Social anxiety hurts less in uni. There's a reason many professors are robots

Defending my thesis on 26th or 27th, it's not yet decided. Going for a Master's cource after that.

>next week have 2 exams as well
>3 more weeks of uni left

Theoretically what would happen if I just said "fuck this I dindu nuffin" and don't pay? I'm not planning on going to the school because it's shit.

The amount of competence the meter maids have on the campus is eons beyond what the admin has, who didn't even review my transcripts before accepting me and was telling me to "just wait" for the last 3 weeks since I got accepted.

The only thing that could fuck up my life is the exam I have to take tomorrow.
I had 3% too much absence in one class in secondary school (Czech rep.) and have to do the same exam as if I failed. It's tomorrow at 8AM. I hope I will make it since if I don't I will have to repeat the year and my mom won't take care of me anymore.
I was in the 93.27 percentile. I have a bright future in front of me and can leave my shithole of a city behind me. Wish me luck guys... I'm really really scared

Doing summer internship. Jesus christ, it was about cover crop and weed and I didn't think I'd have to prepare all 100 flower pots myself. Carting the soil back and forth, mixing it with different brands and carting the pots nearly broke my back. I was literally a farmer.

>>37817537
I'm going back for my second year and I didn't really talk to anyone on my course last year.
Are the uni clubs and societies good places to make friends if you're not good at talking with people?

>>37822567
Depends on your interest and the club, I guess. What do you have in mind?

I've joined a gaming club in the first year and managed to make one friend whom I played with for nearly 2 years now but I've gotten bored of him and fighting games so we hardly talk or play together anymore. I still don't know whether meeting him was a good thing or not but at least he helped me to kill time.

Passed my final with a 2.1 which is a relief since I was averaging about a 62 and I did really shitty on an exam. Now I have nothing whatsoever in my future, so that's fun

>>37822608
My uni doesn't really have any normal hobby societies like gaming and only has sports clubs or things like the Mediaeval or Battle Re-Enactment Societies. I did join the badminton club last year, but the club just disintegrated after two weeks and I didn't talk to anyone there.
Should I just join the Battle Re-Enactment society or the other meme societies? I only want to make friends with someone

>>37822794
I had 2 reenactment societies in my uni, joined the medieval one. Had some good times but never managed to keep any sort of friend from it, I'm too awkward and they were too social

Oh boy spent my whole year pretty much alone in my room skipping lectures and hiding from flatmates who were the most insufferable cunts i wanted to elliot rodger the shit out of them. Passed my exams apart from the one i skipped, Made 3 acquaintances who probably hate my guts because i'm an insufferable cunt and was moody all the time. I have literally achieved nothing, will probably fail and drop out next year if i can't work up the balls to actually go to the lectures. University has sucked all the passion i had programming, its just a shitty office job i'm going to be stuck hating. I have no clue how to make friends next year, everyone is going to be entrenched in their social circles and nobody likes the loser with no friends who doesn't want to go out drinking.

We all graduated but none of them live near me and now I feel like I'm going back to my old ways and barely ever interacting with people. I haven't gotten a job yet (still searching) so pretty much the only times I leave my house anymore are for the gym and groceries. Feels pretty bad after making all that progress.

>>37827462

depends on your major and which classes you pick.. in my case, there were a few classes which had both math and business kids in them like optimization / operations research, and those ones tended to have group work and presentations

pure math subjects will most likely not have any, but it could be different for other unis

Summer courses are where it's at, lads. No more than twelve students in both of my classes at a uni with an enrollment of over 30,000. The professors also don't waste time on group projects due to time constraints.

>>37828697
Anyhow people start uni when they are about 20 here so I guess I am not that much older. Some statistics say the avarage age of starting uni is 24 but that probably counts people who have changed their field.

I had no issue with it. However, the age gap made a bigger difference then I expected. Really shows how different I was to when I was 18.

You'll be fine, most students aren't 18 year olds finishing college and the age difference isn't really a problem like it was in school.

It's from "Surely you're joking mr feynman". It's got lots of stuff like that. Another one is him getting to dance with this deaf/mute girl, she brings him to a party of deaf/mutes at a hotel, tries to learn how to behave there and then and pretends to be part of that group, even when it comes to "talking" to a healthy employee. The whole book is about him in social situations - "It's just fun, seeing what's going to happen; it's an adventure!", and I think it made me slightly more confident to just go into some situation and adapt as I go along. Or maybe not. Three months to go until I find out.

I did alright in most of my classes compared to my first two quarters, but I failed an English class twice. If I don't get at least a C this time, my status as a student lapses.

I'm super nervous and really hope I didn't fuck it up this time.
