hey there! i'm a masters student at the university of nottingham and i did a psychology degree at the university of southampton!
i make content about everything university related, advice for students in sixth form, infrequent mental health videos and the ups and down of university life.
so strap in for advice, revision, university tips, vlogs and generic (definitely not) studytube worthy videos!
Thanks for this, very useful. Would like to add you are beautiful just as you are, your nose is perfect to me - If I had the funds I'd actually pay you not to change it in any way, shape or form. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, to me you appear super-fine. Are you perfect, not even close but I accept you unconditionally for who you are as a person. Good wishes & God Bless ❤🙏
Hi! I'm going into my first year of University this September and I've applied for DSA but am yet to hear back the outcome. I have a working HP computer but I would find it easier to use an iPad to take notes in lectures and draw/ plan out stuff. Do you think DSA will provide me with a relatively cheap iPad or is this unlikely? Thx Also do you get to keep all the technology they give you once you graduate or do you have to return it back ?
Hi so they don't provide iPads (as far as I'm aware), but you can get a cheap one from CEX, mine was about £80 and still functions fine. And you get to keep all the technology, no giving it back (I think you may give it back if you drop out but not 100% sure)
This video was so helpful for me while I was studying for psych, like I can't even express my graditude!! However, I also got a 6 (four points from a 7) and idk I lowkey wanna get it regraded but most of my teachers have been telling me not to because I got a six and I could potential drop to a five, but like I truly believe I got a 7 and idk if I should still get it regraded??!??!?!?!?
80-100 pages long?? girl i don’t even get past 10 half the time HOWW do you write so much I get thru it and don’t know what else to write luckily i still get a distinction out of that but geeeeez 😭😭😭 Edit: I start my level 3, year 2 in September too so wish me luck 😭
I know I already commented, but I kept watching and wow lol. You make so much sense and I agree so much. We are very similar. You are just way more smarter than me. But ye wow. Mind blown. Also, I like your nose. Not that it matters.
So awesome. I relate lol. So many run ins with mental health services and being on wrong medication and self advocating and you know who realized I am autistic? ME. So glad you didn't give up and fought for yourself. So sad that we have to.
im not autistic, im an alien. ok so i just took the raads-r thing and got like 190, and i think i may have given myself credit for "getting" what cats and dogs raining means. or like i feel like a mill... i mean, how does anyone not get it? i mean asking the question alone confuses me.. but whatever Anyways so yeah im an autistic alien.
As someone who is considering applying for Psychology at Southampton, this video is quite eye opening! I’m not sure what universities to apply to, so if possible, please could you recommend universities you think are particularly good, in your opinion?
I searched for a long time before I found a video from someone who had an assessment with Psychiatry Uk. Thanks so much for sharing this , I feel a lot better prepared. 🙏
i love southampton i only live up the road from there in bournemouth and had to spend a week there at the start of 23 because me and hubby went on a night out there and hubby fell over and broke his sholder and got a chest infection so spent a week in southampton hospital so that was fun. ps he was sober it was at the start of our night
Its really hard to navigate when people are constantly being dishonest about their feelings about us too. Its pretty much impossible to get straight forward, kind advice about how others view us so that we can have nore comfortable interactions. It seems like they think telling us white lies is helpful to our self esteem or maybe they're just trying to keep the peace.
Great video, it would be great to hear more about emotions in love, what is love, what is being in love, i.e feeling butterflies? Could being in a relationship be one sided re masking? How does a neurodivergent understand being in love when discussing with a neurotypical. 🤔
Love is something you either feel or don't. Most autistic people can feel love, it's just hard to describe those of us who also have alexithymia. Relationships can be a whole other story tho bc sometimes we can't help it when we mask, and so opening up fully to someone can be really difficult bc most NTs just can't understand us.
I love love love this! "would you like to demonstrate this?" "No" Perfect!! Why do they always ask these nonsensical questions, why don't they just say "I don't think you can do this, because you don't look like you pay attention (eye contact) so I'm gonna force you to demonstrate this in front of the class in order to embarrass you in front of your peers to shame you to change your behavior to be what I want." I would love a world where people spoke that way, it would save me several minutes before I realized they well full of bs and are incapable of earning my respect. You are refreshing and wonderful! Thank you for being honest and being who you are!
could i please ask a question, would this be considered a routine or ritual for eating... i used to be over the top about blowing and wiping over my utensils and plate / glasses and such, and if anyone put food on my plate without me doing this and making sure theyre clean i would absolutely lose my head, and my fork, knife and fork i would place them in a specific place and make everything very even and spaced out equally infront of me on the dinner table, yes or no?
@@saskiahdlt i wouldnt have a clue, i cant seem to understand what OCD does or is? i think i have some sort of learning issue because although i can ready it i cant underrstand it really
my (absolutely amazing) english teacher in high school, who totally transformed how I write and understand writing, literally called it bs-ing, it helped me understand it so much!
whether its cos I used Clinical needs , but I had 2 assessment sessions. with 2 different people , the 1st I did alone,tht one I was asked about scenes from a children's story book, asked to explain what was happening , in a story format, I could only say what was happening. then I was asked to pick up 5 objects and make a story from them, I couldn't. the 2nd appointment , again online ,my informant (my mum) sat in on , which was hour band half, was much more intense, asked my mum alot about my early days, school, which like you I hated, for me cos i couldn't make friends, I was heavily bullied, right through school, physically and mentally, I was the school punchbag, which has left me scared of men and many types of women in my life, and I still have trouble making friends at 63. I now have alot of mental health problems, severe anxiety and depression . I've also been bullied mentally in my adult life too, that's what caused me to go sick from work in May 2021, ive been a bus driver since 1985, and it was nat at point that the bullying at work from other drivers, was affecting my concentration , and I had 2 accidents and 2 seriously near misses, none of them proved to be my fault, but I was scared for the next incident to be a fatal incident, so went sick, not worked since. my anxiety and depression has got much worse, and in therapy, which hasn't helped, only to highlight that I needed both ADHD and Autism screening, which I had at the end April/early May 2024, im now waiting my diagnostic feedback phone calls, on 21st June for ADHD, and @6th June for Autism, I was booked for the Autistic feedback call in 5th June, but it didn't happen, found out next day that it was cancelled, but I wasn't notified, the Clinician needed more time to complete my report as there were 2 questionnaires in my portal still not completed, so I completed them on 3rd June. I'll comment or make a video if I'm able to when I get my feedback reports I n the phone calls, the written reports can take up to 6 weeks to receive by email.
how would they know if you were autistic from the getgo? Honestly I don't think it works like that. During the assessment your symptoms may or may not be present, but your history carries more weight.
This was posted two years ago, but stil relevant and very helpful thank you. You said glen, wessex and mayfower are social, do you know which of these have more international students, to meet new people from different cultures:)
best of luck! i reapplied in june (literally last year) got 0 points again, went to MR, got 0 points again, and now (12 months later), still waiting for tribunal so the system still sucks!
So many of your experiences you stated were/are many of my struggles! One of the big ones I had forgotten about was the fact I would completely lose it when anyone tried to put socks on my feet, never liked them!! when I was 4-5, they didn’t care just yelled at me I had to wear socks bc that’s what people do, but I could feel the thick seam across the bottom of my toes and it I absolutely couldn’t stand it. I learned to ignore my body’s internal tension and just “go with it” on surface level. Still hate socks, if I do wear them and go to sleep(rare) I’ll wake up and find them in the sheets where I’ve taken them off in my sleep. My body knows, I just have learned to ignore
I was just wondering what is the difference between private accoms and the actual uni ones because for 24/25 year Orion point is 160 a week whereas the actual uni ones are much more expensive.
honestly not much difference, uni ones just tend to be closer, and for example (i think they still do it) at the uni ones you get a free bus pass, then private ones are just a bit further out, but tend to have nicer facilities like a gym sometimes. not really a huge difference!
I so relate to this saskia! I’m going to move into a house from kings estate next year and they are being such an irritant bunch! They are constantly being greedy for money, being extremely unprofessional. Constantly sending us emails about documents to send that we had sent them multiple times
