By the way, is hayfever as "useless" to complain about as a cold?

Omg I can't believe you're literally inventing new excuses.

Yes, hayfever is as "useless" to complain about as a cold. Do you know how many people suffer from hayfever, and June is the time these people suffer the most, so there is no doubt that a lot of people would have been suffering the same problem!!

Seems that some universities are getting a bit sick of all the reasons for not doing well:

"But the University of Manchester report says students need to learn to deal with problems as a part of life rather than excuses for poor performance. “The university is not here to provide the solution,” the report says, and urges students to take “personal responsibility” for their results."

University of Manchester slaps you on the wrist.

That's pretty funny! It is just ridiculous though, it sounds like a lot of people are trying to gain an unfair advantage because of the most stupid things.

Think Ive heard some funny ones at uni but I managed to over 2 weeks before having appendicitis and a week before getting an kidney infection. But having a cold is a bad reason or a gold fish died had someone get to resit for a sore throat. Turns out I cant get extra makrs but an aggrogate pass not good wen u need 70% so fingers crossed my uni will accept a few % under.
