What new things have you experienced at uni? Fess up!

Learned that as a second year, all the clubs are now filled with freshers its hard to get into them.
student gov finance are a bunch of trucking tankers.
I have also became more nocturnal, sleeping pattern is shot to hell but other than that, Im more confident

Seriously, you 2010 freshers and 2011 UCAS applicants going "yay uni" don't know what you're letting yourselves in for. Just to let you know, the overrated and overstated social opportunities die out like the dinosaurs when you hit late second and early third year (especially at elite and top ranked universities like Oxbridge and Edinburgh) unless you're happy selling yourself short with a crap degree classification. Some places won't even do you the courtesy of that and will just kick you out.

University life can get seriously miserable when the work piles up and the money runs out, and academic staff can be real pieces of work.

Oh, and the OP sounds like a total slapper tbh - even by first year university standards, when I was a fresher even the most promiscuous of girls I met kept themselves in check.

Thank God the fees are going up if they are going to deter certain "students" from roaming free and engaging in hedonistic pursuits. I thought university was supposed to be a time where you pursue an academic education in your chosen subject.

How wrong was I...

Fair enough, I understand that student life is important; but for not one reason with regards to education in the OP's list makes me thing that the OP is going to university for the wrong reasons.

Anyone that goes to university and hates the work that they do makes me think - why are you even there in the first place?

Pretty much the same



After possibly the most stressful week/two weeks in my life, I would have to agree. Having come home, I now have a strong desire to play the game 'how long can I lie in my bed without moving?' - I'd be happy to sleep til Sunday.

I find it shocking that nobody has called troll. The post count in particular gives it away.

You'd never even been fingered before oO
No wonder you've gone a bit mental!

As long as you're sensible about it, ie safe sex and letting somebody know where you're going/you've got someone in your room, then it's not a particularly huge deal as some are suggesting, don't fret

You'll be able to look back on this when you're a boring, married 50 year old with three kids and fondly remember the wild times of your youth. Who wants tame teenage years? Why tell friends at a dinner party in 30 years about the time you were at the library and caught two people having sex when you could tell them about the time YOU were caught having sex in the library.

Life's for living, so as long as you're enjoying yourself and taking basic precautions (one person's idea of fun can be very different to another's) then who cares?

Why are people writing against the OP?

She isn't talking about new educational experiences, because that aspect of university is pretty self explainatory. More independance, self study but that all started towards the end of A levels. She was just writing to explore the new things that people are doing since being more independant and can, to a degree, explore who they are.

So please, join in and have fun, im having a laugh reading all this stuff as its expected. So please get off your high horse, remove the chip on your shoulder and join in and have some fun or gtfo.

If the OP was a guy and did all that stuff he'd be such a lad.

But girl OP, you are a massive STI filled slag.

Honestly surprised by the replies here. Why is everyone being so damn conservative? It's like she confessed to child molestation or whatever. How does it effect you whatsoever?
It irritates me so much.
It's this conservative attitude that is responsible for so much prejudice and stigma that impede individuals daily on achieving the most from life.
How can woman alone be so conservative? You fight for years, decades, to not be repressed in terms of clothing, sex, make-up, and general freedom, and then you throw it all back in these people's faces who spent their entire lives looked down upon as sub-human by endorsing internal gender oppression!
What do you gain from calling someone a slag? False feelings of supremacy? How does it make you superior to someone due to your inability to engage in reproductive acts? No doubt it'd indicate otherwise? I know here I'm being a hypocrite by insulting another group, and that no one(esp. females) is going to claim their abstinence(or at least, lack of sexual activity[which is chosen to be infrequent?]) is down to nothing other than choice, but people like you just irritate me.
People say they want world peace, no war, no homophobia, sex-equality, etc. but pounce at any possible opportunity to insult another human being when said human being has done no harm!
You are an example of a far more fundamental problem with society, than something as trivial as an individuals attitude to standardised education.
Damn it. I'm so mad. Neg all you want, not one of you can refute this post. All you can do is perpetuate out-dated repressive attitudes and throw meaningless ad-hominem attacks.
(Sorry for the poor structure of this post, just so mad).
EMZ.

Your parents will be so proud...

You also seem to miss the "work hard, party hard" ethos that a number of people embrace at uni.

But yeah life is for living! It's far too short to try and be "good" and do everything right and not make mistakes.
