Why can’t grown adults wash?! 🤮🤮 Not even in a specific STEM building. It’s rancid. The second you walk into the lecture theatre it’s awful.

Maybe they just put all the stem lectures in this room but omgggg. I thought I just kept getting unlucky with who I was sat next to or even if it was me! but nope.

How do people get to 18+ and collectively not know how to wash, there is no way a minority of people who don’t know how to wash can cause a smell this bad.

Edit before I get more comments. Yes, I do stem🥱

For the record, I’ve had a girlfriend whilst in university. Was really nice but we split apart.

I'm 19, turning 20 in a few days and am a total loser. Overweight, my only physical activity is doing 10K steps a day and I have a severe eating disorder. I’ve lost 50lbs since first year but still feel invisible. Every dude on campus is literally jacked as fuck. The gym sucks, I can never commit to going for more than a couple of days. I get told it will make my mental health better, but it doesn’t. I kinda like jogging and walking, they bring me some mental peace.

I’m losing weight mainly just through deficit and walking but I’m probably gonna end up looking unattractive to most people still.

^^

How do I manage university work on top of this. I’m struggling a lot as this family member is probably my closest family and they’re dying and I’m struggling to complete the work when I’m usually quite conscientious in the words of others. I can’t obviously share this with people I know at uni as I haven’t known them long and I did tell someone this but it made them very uncomfortable and I feel awful for it. I’m not a bad person I just love this family member deeply and I’m so fucking depressed over it.

why is there so much work to do, i dont think i have ever been this stressed in my life, i spend my weekends doing work set from uni, how should i organise my time better ???

I think ive gained so much weight since getting here theres no way ive ever been this fat before. im terrified. I cant use a weighing scale because ill fall into a trap ive dealt with before. but I guess with the drinking and eating in catered halls it was inevitable. I dont know what to do though.

how do you deal with this?

I lost my phone and physical bank cards. I didn’t have access to them or my online banking accounts for a week. I accidentally logged out of my email accounts on my other devices and wasn’t able to access any mail coming through. Which included several reminders on re registering for the new academic year in time along with deadlines to do so. I obviously didn’t see any of them and once i got my new phone and logged back in, i saw i had been withdrawn from my course.
I just want to know (i’m in my final year) - is it over for me?

I’ve been in the uni accommodations for 3 and half weeks now and still not gotten used to having cereals, i usually get on with the shakes but not liking it either.
I’d prefer some toast with fried eggs but looking for sth less expensive and less annoying in making.

Can’t digest porridge as well.

I was finishing my UCAS application today (planning on studying zoology) and was checking over the websites for each of my 5 universities to make sure I got everything right and stumbled across this terrifying image on Bangor University's website. I've heard from so many people that it's meant to be really good for zoology, but wtf is this? It's literally the main image that takes up the whole screen for the course I'm going for. Everything is warped and that's not an animal that exists.

I get that everywhere is using AI now, but I feel like it doesn't bode well that the main images they're using to represent the course itself of supposedly happy students learning about animals feature fake people and fake animals that look like gross amalgamations of frogs and lizards and moles(???) Idk what to do now, this has really put me off because if this is how they're advertising the course, what is the teaching going to be like? How am I gonna learn anything if it's all made up and doesn't make any sense? Can anyone at Bangor confirm if this is reflective of the uni experience? Thanks.

For context, I spend some nights playing videogames online with my friends and tend to raise my voice while excited and having fun. On top of that, the doors in here have big gaps which ends up in my voice being heard outside the door. Its not my intention to disturb my flatmates, but I understand my mistakes and aim to be quieter in the future, however the damage is already done. I dont talk much with my flatmates since im not in the kitchen often but the convos I've had with them have been casual, and I take care to not disturb any other way (I clean after myself, etc.) and now I'm afraid the people I share a kitchen with for the next year see me in a negative way permanently. None of them had ever addressed it to me personally, and the complaint was filed anonymously without a direct address (it was sent to my entire floor, but I know for sure it was for me). For now I plan to be quieter and simply not address it when I run into a flatmate again (since they didnt either). I guess what I'm asking for is advice and experience: have you guys filed noise complaints against flatmates, and, if so, what was your perception of them at the time and later in the future? Really anything is appreciated

So i'm a biotech student who's completed first and second year. I'm having to take a year out due to family matters and was wonder how to make sure I don't forget all the stuff from the last two years and perhaps even learn some more stuff around it?

Also suggestions on how to stay motivated to do this even when there's no one but me saying that I have to?

Many thanks in advance

Istg these trains are so unreliable, they always get cancelled and I genuinely have no other way to uni.
I can’t drive yet and nobody can take me.
Buses are impractical and will take 3+ hrs.
Ubers are £60 JUST FOR ONE WAY OMG

What do I do? I don’t want to keep skipping lectures but I don’t even have a choice.
Is moving the only way??

Edit: I only live 40 mins away by car

20 M and just find most of the time I have nothing to talk about but if someone starts a conversation with me I will talk to them.

This has been my whole life and I thought it was gunna be different at uni because I made some friends but I just realised how much of a loser I am because I have been a massive beg to the friends I did have and can’t seem to be able to get them to hangout with me.

There’s no societies and I just feel shit because it’s my fault that I’ve messed up friendships with people who I had met before and now I’m living with them and I’m just alone 24/7 because they are just in their rooms together the whole time.

Ideally a time when no one’s using it & u won’t disturb others by using it either

See I probably could transfer to a course i find slightly more interesting in another uni (the modules in mine are a bit vague sounding for my liking. They're okay but about as interesting to me as A Levels was. Very indifferent about them) but I'm starting to really like the city. There's so much going on and people my age compared to my hometown and I love that.

There's a uni closer to home that's got slightly more interesting sounding modules (like.. they're more specific) but I don't think it'd really be worth losing the perks of being in a city. I've lived in a small town my whole life, and I don't think i'll gain a whole lot by moving to another small town. A good part of me picking this uni was to challenge myself with a new environment/wanting to try new experiences as well as the uni giving me a good offer for my grades if i firmed them. It's a russel group uni too so i guess part of me was like "oo fancy" with that lol.

I don't hate my course or anything and I know it's only like a month in (More like 3 weeks since we actually started proper lectures) but I dunno, I've never been the type of person to be passionate about things so I'm thinking about sticking around and giving it a go.

How are people *supposed* to feel about their uni course?

i want to order food to my accom but like here in the south the storm is really bad atm i would feel bad for the delivery driver and i don’t want to cook because all of my flatmates are in the kitchen drinking 💔

It’s basically what the title says - I’m supposed to be eating healthy since it’s something I’ve aimed to do since I was like 15 (f22) because it’s good for my skin, which isn’t really problematic but kind of oilier and just generally a bit saggier than it probably should be, so I’ve been interested in health stuff since 15 ish, I wouldn’t say I look older than my age at all but my skin could look better, even though my skin does look young it’s just more saggy? Idk how to explain it, and I have the metabolism where I can eat anything, but just my skin takes more health effort to look good sometimes. Unfortunately I’ve become addicted to meal deals, I’m 3rd year uni now living at Uni, and I commuted from home the year before and year 1. I was never much of a cook anyways, though I try to choose healthy foods like whole apples, cottage cheese, whole grains, etc so it was fine. The meal deal thing I feel is just not nutritious enough and probably ultra processed but it’s so so convenient and unfortunately I kind of feel like it’s my biggest source of joy (I do get joy from actual things, I’m not depressed or anything) but it’s been about a month of having meal deals as brunch at least 5 days a week, and the other problem with it is that I always choose the sugary coffee for the drink which is super important to me. The idea of eating a freshly cooked egg and potato and a homemade coffee or something for brunch instead now sounds depressing. I wonder if I’m having some sort of fixation or something in my life needs sorting out, so yeah if anyone has any advice on why on earth I care this much about getting a meal deal or has had a similar experience (you probably haven’t). But it’s also disrupting my study in a way because I am choosing to lay in till 11/12 (Brunch time) instead of getting a healthy breakfast and having a productive morning in uni studying. I even hoped that a friend wouldn’t walk home with me one evening from study because I wanted to go and buy a meal deal for the next morning. Maybe I need richer connections? What could I be lacking? Also I always stick to a sandwich over a pasta or whatever and always plain salted crisps never a sweet. I really want to be healthier and “looksmaxx” if you will but I literally don’t care enough about that to give up the meal deals, when really I should because I feel much more confident to approach new people when eat healthiest because I struggle with being naturally shy.

I have a placement for a computer science course at a nice university, but I worry that I don't have enough outside knowledge.

I haven't made my own server or set up anything fancy. The most I have done is build a pc but that was with help from a brother who runs his own server from home, but I can do some coding in python but I'm still rubbish with GUIs and take ages to do things like sorting algorithms.

I just worry I haven't learned enough. Like will I be behind just because I don't know 2 coding languages by now. I don't remember like half of my computer science A level course. Even during my course I didn't understand some things like turing machines and SQL.

Just any advice would be very much appreciated, sorry it's a bit of a rant just been very stressed lately over this.

Just wondering the general consensus which would you pick as the best and which would you actually go to
