Maybe you should make your real signature look a bit more like Times New Roman text; I think that would simplify matters.


That would take longer than I have, given my habitually loopy writing :P anyway, I made an online signature thingy in the end so I've pasted it into the form and hopefully that'll be all that's needed (I tend to worry too much...)

Guys does anyone know how to use an e-signature? One of my college forms requires it and I was under the impression that all that was needed was a photo of your handwritten signature, but now I've googled some stuff about it and I'm not sure. Will I be fine with just my photographed signature or what? :s-smilie:

Edit: I've found a website where I can make whatever an 'e-signature' happens to be but although it's free there's probably a catch somewhere, and I'm useless at drawing (this is an MS Paint-style setup) so I can't actually make the thing look anything like my usual, handwritten signature.


Can you do it on a phone or tablet?

Did everyone get asked to send UMS in? Is it for the DOSes or for their statistics? Feel a bit ashamed to tbh

Is this for St John's? All I did was sign a piece of random piece of paper, scan that in and copy the image of the signature. I sent the form to them and they are yet to contact me to tell me that was wrong.

Everyone has to - pretty sure its for statistics purposes(?).

Unless I've missed an email somewhere, I've not been asked for it.

Yeah, I had to fill a form in and send it back. It said at the bottom it's only for statistical purposes, though I was laughing and crying while I filled it in
How do I overcome my awkwardness and become a social butterfly?

It'll be okay! You'll find lots of people at your College and definitely other NatScis too that also feel awkward :smile:
(Whatever you do, do not join the NatSci group chat on Facebook)

Similarly,no one should join the Maths group chat either.
Zacken and Krollo really make everyone feel uncomfortable.

Lol ours isn't uncomfortable as such, but reading 900 missed messages isn't the most productive thing to do in the summer...

Lol I feel like if my DoS sees my UMS she'll think that someone else sat my exams last year

I didn't even know there is a larger one :colondollar: I'm part of a small Bio NatSci one which is friendly and quiet!

You may feel comfortable doing that, but I personally don't want to be labelled as a creep :/
