Yeah just alcohol....

Hope my mum doesn’t read this XD

_bye house_

So what next? :)

@@frieza2235 shit hole of slough

@@pavmar5197 slough uni?

Retake and smash it. There is no shame associated with gap years and retakes.

Hey you can get into London met

justice stent you’re strong for that girl, thank you for the advice

This is actually so reassuring cause I’m hating it because me and mh flatmates don’t really get on

locketgirl8500 you’ll be fine, trust the process ❤️

this is me right now lol. just started a week ago and I just ate uni because of the homesickness. hopefully things will get better

bessie did things get better?

What do you mean "like this" ?

@@gazlink1 not normal

He means sjw’s

FACTSSSSS

@@gazlink1 "moist yutes"

One would infer that

or equivalent to like a 45 in IB?

@Basics the new grading system have been used yet so yeah btechs

Its just ucas points, you get the amount of ucas points that you would with 3 a*’s

Bro lay of the btec kids, honestly there are btec kids that are going to do the same course at the exact same uni or even a better university. Doing a btec doesn’t mean that your less intelligent, there are plenty of reasons why people choose to do btec. My reason was that my sixth form was basically such dickheads that promised me 3 A levels if I got the grades, which I did, and after I got the grades they said that I wasn’t eligible for it.

Lol 😅😂🤣

Clover OW I a so scared of going as an introvert that doesn’t like loud noises and doesn’t drink any advice

Panda Seal some universities offer alcohol free or quiet accommodation, so you could pick that option- that way you’ll meet like minded people. Honestly though you’ll be fine, I’m in my second year now and I found a lot of people who don’t like drinking and prefer to do other things :) I would advise you though to try and put yourself out there as much as you’re comfortable with, like sitting next to people you don’t know in lectures and trying to talk to them.

Clover OW okay I will try thanks for the advice

I'm quite introverted and do drink which helps with socialising. However, I came across some people even more introverted than me and all I can say is that pushing yourself to try and make an effort with making friends is worth it. You can do this in Freshers by literally just going up to people and sparking conversations. It might sound weird but believe me, everyone is in the same boat and you not drinking shouldn't be an issue at all. Good luck 😊

Lorenzo Paul will try this thank you 😊

Good luck but don't stress too much about it

It's October so you're still good for time; get it done soon and focus on exams. You've got this

Same mate 😂

Same but it's December for me 😂👌

My fresher's in Cardiff

J Meaney 😂😂🙌🏽

Cant even open a bottle of wine, theyd be sticking crystals in their eyeballs if they went that far...

lol 😂

brings new meaning to getting a rona on a night out

I wanted to play DnD with him. And the love Simon poster, heck yeah

Init that’s some deep final message that

pooonana 😭😭😭

I didn’t have drugs and I had the best week of my life

Was doing heroin and cocaine all week on my freshers week was awesome

Bella Jenkins wow you’re hard

@@isla-louisegillespie5855 could of had a better one!!

@@philipsolzz what by making a joke?? you're triggered

I instantly thought it was him I thought i was the only one

Not really

No...

Thats exactly what I said!!!! Pampered by parents most likely, never had to set foot in the kitchen to cook food for themselves

good for you, but people have different circumstances

panini ception I don’t think it’s fair to say your parents don’t care about you if they don’t cook your meals - my parents simply knew I was able to cook for myself and so let me do so. And I’m not saying your parents shouldn’t be able to cook for you when you’re young, I just was surprised that they had never made a meal once in their life when their parents were away or even watched their parents cook enough to know how to put something in the oven.

Lori Hyslop Don’t be salty just cause your parents don’t love you lmao, some people parents understand that your education is the most important phase of your life because how well you do determines all the opportunities open to you for the rest of your life-so most parents will cook and do the housekeeping duties to allow their children to focus on studying and social development. They’re very blessed to have such caring parents, don’t try to take that away from them. It’s a different way of life, doesn’t make it inferior, that’s a very narrow minded way to view life.

Lori Hyslop Also, they did know how to put something in the oven. They all did cook successfully. Soooo...? What’s your problem??

I think they should have taken a gap year before going to university. That's what I did

Lol

looooolll

We all know what you wanna see...we wanna see more of max 😎

You mean average people

Kit Kat they aren’t average , they are the minorities

Apart from max

Milk should be communal, it's so cheap if you throw someone's shit away for using a bit of milk with their tea or whatever your an actual nazi.

@@felixc3719 you underestimate milk preferences

@@felixc3719 if I pay for something then why should it be communal? It's mine.

@@palestinevideos2025 or don't be such a tight prick and if someone needs a splash for cup of tea let them lol

Palestine Videos you sound so Jewish

just realised I should probably mention that this comment wasn't targeted at the people in the video or others who decided not to take a gap year, just a comparison between different countries (I've read that it's quite rare to have a gap year in the UK)

What are you doing in your gap year?

Denzel I was an au pair. Learned a lot about other cultures and now speak the local language fluently 😊

N00RA96 a lot of people in the UK take gap years . It is no where near rare . Trust me . I just started at my uni straight from school but I find plenty of people 19

I started straight away but 70% of the people on my course were 19 or 20 when I was 18. I'm taking this year out tho felt like I wanted a break.

Gentleman Gamer depends where you’re from. In england, you finish school at 18 and then university comes after if you want to go. But you can start at any age after so i don’t think it really matters.

Gentleman Gamer Because they join after A levels...at the standard time to do so??

Exactly what I thought! I’m going on September 2021, il be 20.

It's this weird thing we have here in the UK. You're rushed into uni straight away, it's seen as a ticket to freedom for most people and they end up doing useless degrees, later down the line finding they have no interest in them.

I started straight after my A Levels but there was a fresher I met, because we play on the same hockey team, and he's 23. There's also a lady in her 50s who was in my Intro to Politics and Law & Society module this year, she's doing the same course as me but the uni have helped her structure it so she's doing it part time to be able to work as well. You're not alone.

As an Erasmus student who arrived in the UK in September, I experienced all of this too for the first time in my life haha, the freshers' fair especially was very unique. I've managed to make friends among the other Erasmus student, but I struggle to find 'my people' among the British, most of them already have their own group of friends. Good luck in your studies mate!

I'm in year 2 and I'm enjoying it a lot better than first year

man, i live in the UK and I don't drink, and I never get invited anywhere. I don't really care cause it's not my scene so i'm not bothered about it, but I can imagine a lot of people (especially at uni) want to fit in, and feel like they HAVE to drink to be able to socialise, otherwise, they'll probably go nuts without having any friends.

Alcohol is cancer.

exploringwithomar I’m someone who’s applying to uni for next year, but also doesn’t like drinking. How do you feel not being invited to stuff? Does it not matter because you’ve found like-minded people who also don’t drink?

oh man, tbh, I'm very happy being in my own company. I can't stand being around drunk people so it was a bit of a relief. As soon as I went to Uni, I got a gym membership and spent my free time getting healthy. I also bought a camera and got into photography and met people who were photography enthusiasts who preferred spending their weekends taking photos around the city rather than drinking (that's also how I met my current girlfriend). The amount of money I saved is insane. Not to mention how active I was due to never being hungover.

@@itscharley430 For sure. Especially if you join a student association/club you will find a good group of people who won't care if you drink or not!

George Kelly don’t be so disrespectful

Jelly Juice He’s right tho

Lgbt is important but its about university experience not about your sexuallity

sick of hearing about it, who cares what sexuality they are?

Mark Nash there’s nothing important about lgbt

Because people love being dicks

Plantain is delicious

Denzel lol they tried diversifying it

When you try to diversify and have no one normal

@@Unknown-si8yx yh the only diversity was 1 nerd and 1 transgender and the rest were basically the same, weird bunch. They could have at least shown people of different colour (Asian, black). It doesn't even need to be different races, they could have shown foreign students. If their mission was to show how good uni is, then this failed miserably.

You're right we should all conform and be the same!

@SA ain't nobody trying to be racist here bro

@hn77 how was it

The whites are always so weird

Svsca 2020 I’m white g but I’m not like any of these weird dons

You don't need to be smart to attend university anymore. Not to mention that smartness has nothing to do with practicality.

Outsideness how so? You still need the grades to be able to attend university. I know it costs thousands to go now, but you still need the grades to get in. But you definitely don’t need to be a genius to not burn yourself cooking chicken nuggets in a oven 😂 Regardless of whether being smart has any correlation to being practical, the fact that half these students couldn’t even cook themselves a proper meal, without burning themselves or the food is appalling 🤦🏻‍♂️ like have they never ever cooked at home before? When their parents were out/away? We could argue to disagree on this and that. But let’s definitely agree that half these students were too pampered/had it easy, the fact they couldn’t cook a simple meal. 👏

University is somewhat of a scam. Everyone has a degree which makes them almost worthless.

@@DrJams only the easy ones 😉

This video most definitely stopped me from defending British cuisine anymore, wtf was that microwaved tortilla man

same 😭💀

What did u get
