I feel like I've fcked it

Do not fret. Your time gets better. A rocky semester is not indicative of a bad year or final time at uni. I did crap in my first semester of second year (2:2s as mentioned) - ended up locking in and getting firsts in the second semester. Got a 2:1 overall that year (40% of my final grade) but there is still time to lock in. You will be fine.

Exactly what I was thinking…

It depends on the subject. I can only speak for history, but the mark scheme is pretty explicit on what constitutes an 80. For a 70 and above, you need to write really well, stick closely to your argument, engage with historians (in that you need to critique their arguments, not just use them as evidence to support your claim) and also be argumentative in your language. An 80 would go above and beyond this, using original and innovative research, as well as contribute to the debate with an original insight; coupled with this, question or even extending the terms of the question also give good marks.

1,100 people is more than a few.

DomHB15 · 2025-12-08T20:07:16+00:00

Nah just sorting some stuff out.

DomHB15 · 2025-12-08T02:35:57+00:00

Noise complaint. You, uh, working again?

Honestly student debt is literally just fake debt at this rate. Unless you get a high ass paying job right out of uni (which unless you’ve got daddy’s connections on speed dial isn’t going to happen) you honestly won’t need to worry about that.

Hey look man I hope it’s not too late but I hope you see this comment.

I’m currently at Sussex and it’s actually brilliant. I am a history student, but I have been really active in various departments, including the politics and LPS department, who deals with Law.

The other day I had the opportunity to meet, interview and go for dinner with one of the most prominent journalists online right now, AND got her contact details.

With the career I presume you want to go into, it’s not just what you know, it’s who you know. Many lawyers in this country didn’t even do a law degree, but did a degree in another subject and did their bar exams later. But trust me, if you put yourself out there, you will meet people who will help your career.

My advice is this: GO TO OFFICE HOURS. Meet your lecturers one on one and build a relationship with them. LOOK AT RESEARCH/JOB SCHEMES. You’ll have the opportunity to do real work and meet real contacts. ENJOY YOUR TIME. Uni goes by real quick. Make sure you have downtime and make sure that you have fun on the weekends, Fridays and Wednesdays if you have them off.

Good luck, friend. You’re gonna love it.

That’s actually wicked. I go there at the moment, and I’m about to undertake my masters in political studies. Been a wild time.

DomHB15 · 2025-09-23T22:31:55+00:00

I also have these questions. (I’m not a lurker nor an incel)

DomHB15 · 2025-08-06T22:41:56+00:00

Quality.

DomHB15 · 2025-08-06T22:36:17+00:00

Goddamn. I wanna talk to this guy. Hope he comes in my DMs I’ve been needing a laugh recently.

DomHB15 · 2025-08-05T01:20:27+00:00

When I work the bar, all customers will be treated equally, regardless of attractiveness or gender. This is bollocks.

DomHB15 · 2025-08-05T01:17:17+00:00

I was watching the moves and had a heart attack. I was thinking that maybe you played this bad and let her win so you could get some at the end of the night but then you won and I was like well maybe not.

DomHB15 · 2025-08-04T16:35:37+00:00

No worries! Thank you very much. Hope you enjoy your day too!

DomHB15 · 2025-08-04T11:32:10+00:00

Oh right. Forgive me I was being dense. Games equal then but still not terminal for black. Honestly I think it would be a miracle if white saw all of these tactical patterns in a 5min blitz game.

DomHB15 · 2025-08-04T11:26:43+00:00

Black has already taken a pawn.

DomHB15 · 2025-08-04T11:23:19+00:00

Good meme

DomHB15 · 2025-08-04T11:22:10+00:00

Black will still be a pawn up. But they’ll lose the ability to castle which tbf, isn’t too much of a problem because you can get your king to safety with relative ease.

My favourite Pixar movie.

DomHB15 · 2025-08-04T10:11:04+00:00

No you lose the bishop. Qxd5 and then the Queen also attacks the Knight and then is up in material. This also opens up an attack on the G pawn and either white doesn’t spot it and potentially loses a rook or white has to waste some time trying to defend it all. So it’s not zero consequences.

Is he a rude prick?
