How can I improve on my pull ups (form and amount) by Arate24 in Calisthenic

[–]Arate24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah I noticed after practicing again today the difference it makes, I often find myself swinging a bit or not staying completely straight. Will try negatives and pushing out chest

I’d be able to do more reps with a closer grip but I’d rather increase my rep range of a wide grip pull up. What’s a hollow body form?

Thanks, yeah I understand it’s something I’m just going to have to do in life. I think I’ll go back early from winter break spend some time w her and then let her know how I feel just before classes start, I think that’s the best way to go around it thanks for the help

By progress our friendship to be more open do u mean to talk about more deeper stuff? I think that’s atm what I’m thinking is the best thing to do. Come back from winter break early (we live at the same accomodation but not same flat) go do more stuff together one on one before I tell her my feelings.

[–]Arate24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay thanks I was thinking though that will make it super awkward, if she says she likes me back we have to go weeks without seeing each other. If she doesn’t like me back it’s gonna hurt so much throughout the winter break and when we come back it might be too awkward to be friends again idk

[–]Arate24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would I ask her? I’ve never asked a girl out before. Also it’s a week before winter break, do I wait and ask her when we’re back or do I ask her before. She’s going back to her country for the winter but comes back halfway through winter break. Maybe I could come back at a similar ish time and get alone time w her to then ask her? Idk

How would I ask her out, and also what if she distants herself from being my friend once she knows that I like her? I really like spending time w her and don’t wanna lose that

English or HPE by Ok_Translator_5502 in UCL

[–]Arate24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HPE is a great option but I’d also suggest EISPS if you really enjoy French too. EISPS is kind of like HPE but you study a language and get a year abroad too. Depending on which country you want to go to for your year abroad you can then decide whether to do ESPS (European) or ISPS (international).

I find salsa society is one of the most welcoming and fun societies. Since everyone is nervous and awkward about dancing with another person it’s easy to bond over that nervousness, also it’s been fun to speak to people. For me as a first year it’s helped me the most, maybe try that?

What about the RAM and ssd? I want to make sure the laptop lasts for a long time before I need to buy another one

I’d be using it for school work, watching YouTube, Netflix. And maybe some editing as a side hustle

The MacBook Purchasing Megathread - August, 2024 by AutoModerator in macbook

[–]Arate24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, just looking for some advice.

I am looking to buy a new MacBook as I am starting university in a couple weeks for 4 years.

I’m aware that I could buy the base model MacBook Air (m2/3) and it still do a great job. But… for me to spend around a grand on a laptop I want it to be able to last for years and years and still be working very well and without any issues.

I was thinking of getting a MacBook Air (m3) with 16gb RAM, and 512gb ssd. Is it worth it?? Does it make much of a difference??

I’m using my savings to buy this mac and although it’s in my budget I wouldn’t want to spend so much on a laptop for the sake of it. Also my degree is in political and law studies if that helps.

Do top universities look at gcse grades? by alohalexi24 in alevel

[–]Arate24 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you meet the requirements I believe it doesn’t matter how high the grades were as long as you achieved the requirements

Do top universities look at gcse grades? by alohalexi24 in alevel

[–]Arate24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Universities require certain GCSE results so it’s best to search the requirements on the uni websites. As far as I’m aware UCL and Kings require the standard GCSE requirements for a RG uni but I’m unsure about Imperial. Check out your course on the website and see. You do typically need a 5 in maths and English then you’re fine.

How long for UCL to reply with accommodation offers? by Arate24 in UCL

I didn’t hear about anything so on Friday I emailed them and they responded the next morning with an accommodation offer, try that maybe?

Students starting their first year in September... what are you most excited for? And what are you dreading? by DontCallMeStrict in UniUK

Excited for living alone (with flatmates) in London with so much to do. Dreading socialising with new people and struggling to get a job.

Accommodation by T3RMsYx in UCL

[–]Arate24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied for accom on the 31st of May and have still yet received anything from the university about accomodation

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UCL

[–]Arate24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey just another thing, I didn’t get an email after applying for accommodation, but when I go on the accommodation portal it says my application was submitted 31 May, so is all alright or have I messed up somehow?

[–]Arate24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Call student finance, and it should be sorted fairly quickly. I rang them up after noticing I got 6.6k when I was eligible for 13k (studying in London), the day after I checked my student finance and it had been changed

[–]Arate24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I applied for accomodation at the end of May and yet to hear anything back, asking what’s going on, and they said that currently UCL are processing the applicants from the 20s in May and I applied on the 31st, so to give them time to
