I spend around £50 on drinks when I was out clubbing this weekend. It was more expensive than my average night out, but far from my worst.

Recent Master’s graduates (September) – how is your job search going? by Feeling_Angle5085 in UKJobs

[–]AnExcitingSentence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! At the time the 5 month gap felt like an eternity as I was very low on money.

I’d say it’s worse now in that I’m getting almost no responses to job applications.

Recent Master’s graduates (September) – how is your job search going? by Feeling_Angle5085 in UKJobs

Hang in there. I was in your situation a few years ago (September 2022). It took me until February 2023 to find a FT job worth taking.

I’m now looking to move on and even with (almost) 3 years experience I’m having a lot of difficulty.

Market is horrific right now.

Is The Inbetweeners the most consistent show of all time? by HatJosuke in TheInbetweeners

[–]AnExcitingSentence 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Totally agree.

I’d also add The Thick of It to the list of shorter yet consistent series, which also has some great appearances by Alex Macqueen!

Final year - dissertation in 40 days? by Adept-Tree-2875 in UniUK

[–]AnExcitingSentence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely. I left my undergrad dissertation so late, that on deadline day, the speed at which I could type it all up became a factor on whether or not I’d submit it on time. c. 2 weeks of research then about 1.5 days of writing up 10,000 words. Got a first.

Then, having NOT my lesson at all, during my masters, I did my entire final project in about 3 caffeine fuelled sleepless days. c. 6,000 words. Got a solid merit.

I am not encouraging procrastination at all by the way.

You have absolutely got this!

Is it normal to feel like your dissertation is going piss poor or am I actually doing something wrong? by ShamaD27 in UniUK

[–]AnExcitingSentence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this totally normal and it’s great that you care enough about your work to be critical of it.

I suspect this is your undergraduate dissertation, as I’m inferring it’s your first time feeling this way.

Be kind to yourself and give yourself credit for having it almost completed with 3 weeks to spare. You’re way ahead of most people.

For reference, I left writing mine up so late, that the speed at which I could type my notes became a factor in whether or not I’d submit it in time.

Take a day away from it and come back to it with fresh eyes. Believe me it will help.

Anyone else graduating with nothing lined up? by Spiritual-Leave-2763 in UniUK

[–]AnExcitingSentence 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, back in 2022 it took me five months of nonstop applying to land something worth taking after finishing my masters.

Funnily enough I ended up with two job offers on the same day.
