are you happy with your current effort?

[-:Undertaker:-]

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)

[Catchy]

Err I really slacked in first semester and really need to work my ass off in this next one

[Derrener]

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

[myke]

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
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

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
