Re: Am I the only one who thinks this is absurd??That argument is invalid; I'm not you, so I don't really care.(Original post by I love shopping)
Erm, your point? He asked me whether it affected me or not, and I replied with how I coped. What's it got to do with anyone else? If you were in my place, would you not have tried doing your best to get a good degree?
Read back what you wrote dear.Again, it was a personal question about whether or not I've been a relationship that ended, and I replied about how I dealt with it. How does it show that I'm absurd or arrogant?
So? Why are you bothered with your friend now? It's his life. He can do as he pleases; move on with yours.Maybe if you actually read my posts, I've mentioned several times that, firstly, I never tried getting an extension after my break up, and secondly, I've already graduated with decent degree. Why would I be bothered about it now?
Very aggressive and quite emotional. Calm down.man up about what exactly?
Sounds like you're the one who is jealous of my success. And you don't know how many times I've pulled it off. I've been through a lot of crap in the recent years, death of family members, a very ill mother, abusive father and depression. So I'm proud of what I have achieved. It is, in no way, 'shallow success'. So STFU.
BTW, you're not the only one who has that problem. A lot of people have and we don't go around telling people that we have 'problems' in our life, therefore, others should suck up their own problem because theirs is just to 'inferior' compared to your 'problem'. If you think that's unfair, well then, suck it up; man up! That's life for you. Ironic it comes back to you now isn't it?
Judgmental? Says the person who doesn't even know the actual situation of 'her friend'wow. You really are very judgemental, aren't you. Or maybe you're just very good at reading people from a few posts on tsr. you must be very skilled.
Owh, and this is just too ironic!(Original post by I love shopping)
People need to learn to be more in control of their emotions so they're prepared for this kind of thing. Mollycoddling people at university really isn't going to help them prepare for the real world.

Student forum is open to discussions of all sorts. If you really have nothing relevant to say, quit making rude remarks to the person that wrote it or at least discuss the matter in a more respectful way. Sheesh.

Re: Am I the only one who thinks this is absurd??If you don't care, why do you have a problem with the way I handled my break up? I really dont understand your issue here. I never said I was better than others. My point was that I did what seemed important at the time. In no way does that show arrogance.(Original post by kka25)
That argument is invalid; I'm not you, so I don't really care.
Maybe if you learned to read you would realise that I created this thread to question the policy of the university and not to slate my friend, which is why it's in the 'General University Discussion'.(Original post by kka25)

Of course not. Everybody has problems in their lives. No one is completely happy. I never disputed that. I was trying to make the point that my success wasn't shallow, as you seemed to so arrogantly claim. Not once did I imply that others have it easy, or that it's unfair on me. I have no idea how you got to the conclusion. Judgmental much?
Again, if you learn to read, i don't make a fuss about problems in my life. I'm not the one who tries to get extensions when things go wrong. I do suck it up and get on with life as well as i can.
Again, I'm not judging my friend. This is about the university.(Original post by kka25)

Re: Am I the only one who thinks this is absurd??No, it's not a legit excuse as far as i'm concerned. Certainly not an extension that long.
Short of a death of a close family member or proven illness, there are very few other reasons why that work can't be done on time, particularly if it was given to you a significant time beforehand.Last edited by hoonosewot; 26-07-2012 at 00:22.
