I Am slacking a lot, I'm a very lazy person and put effort into the wrong things like painting at home when I should be doing art homework, or maths homework aha

definitely not, my lecturers are saying there's no chance I'll get a first with the effort I'm putting right now so really hoping to improve

not at all ugh
no not at all im terrible. but i also completely lack the motivation right now sooo things will stay the same
I didn't put enough effort in at university. I think if I really worked at it I could have easily attained a first w/honours

I am trying but I probably can try harder. My confidence always gets in the way and I suppose I need to work on that.

I'd say my current level is acceptable (2:1), but I feel like I'm always pushing for that first, whether it will pay off or not, who knows.
not really, i could've done better but i'd try harder when i'm at uni

Definitely not. I've not put enough time or effort into my current assignments, so it's something I need to work to improve on.

Currently working at 2:2 :'( but the work load and the time it takes to do my work as an Architecture student just puts me off so I end up rushing things last minute which isn't good at all!

Yeah I'm extremely happy with my effort so far, but I know I could try harder with certain aspects. I'm doing so well compared to school and it's mainly because I'm much happier and am enjoying everything I do whereas in school I loathed all my subjects bar one.

No, it's awful. And I just paid the price for it by getting 20% in an essay.

u guys will still do better than me, doing lots of work can be just as bad
but like don't u guys all pay for education.. from what i hear, people in English uni complain how much it costs yet never turn up or revise? i get free education, go to all classes n revise (not a dig btw just wonderin if true n why)

yeah it's true but they get a student loan which is a 0% apr loan that you only start paying back once you have a job that ears over £XXk and even then you only pay a tiny bit back a month
however, it's still a £26,000 (+extras) loan but since it's money you dont even have, I guess to some people it doesnt seem like they're spending their own money?
as to why, I think people who slack know it's wrong and wish they could find the motivation to go to every lecture and do all the work early but in reality, it's a lot harder than saying "im going to work hard this year"
usually if you've grown up through secondary school & a levels revising, attending every class and getting work in on time you'll generally continue to work like that through university
but a lot of people I know, including myself went through secondary school & a levels not really revising, doing assignments late etc and getting decent grades
when you get to university it's a lot more work and that **** just doesnt cut it anymore
that's just my onion though, I'm probably miles from the truth but it's just how I feel
yeah i'm happy with it, i feel like i'm constantly on the go.

ah fair enough, they have no right to complain if they're not putting in the work :P
i revise cause I enjoy the subject, otherwise I wouldn't be at uni, so it's easy for me I guess
some people in my class seem so uninterested + a lot just want a degree (it's social science after all) so hardly put in effort. they only scraped passes for 1st n 2nd yr. u have to put in lots more effort into 3rd yr to pass your modules so wil probably start to see those uninterested/unmotivated start to fail now. I wouldn't pass if i didnt put in effort, im jealous of people who can revise very little and still pass :(I need a new revision technique i think...
uni is easier for me, u dont attend and there r no consequences
u get all ur lectures online so it not even matter if u dont go
my timetabe means im in 8 days a month and i still dont go. im lazier now than i ever was before
i still do ok....just not as well as could attain and would like
my motivation is in the pits and its reaching the point of me not even caring now im so bored of it all :(

what are u studying?
i rly like my lecturers and their stories so i go in as much as poss. we get shown full slides in class but the ones online are only key words basically so you'd have to go research them yourself if u want to learn it so it's better to go in for the hour n learn. i also have 2-4 hour breaks between some classes so i can easily get work done in that time too (i live away from uni so nothin else to do n gives me free time when I am at home)
altho must admit I have a class that I dnt mind missin coz it's so borin i never concentrate in class anyway n ask a friend for their notes but has meant doin a lot of studying for the exam cause I don't understand tht well
