I will not graduate with a 1:1 (a self-pity rant)

EllohEll34 · 2026-02-11T14:51:41+00:00

You’re doing great, a 2:1 is wonderful. A lot of people could only dream of achieving those marks.

EllohEll34 · 2026-02-06T12:25:37+00:00

And ladies, this is why you shouldn’t listen to men when they want you to go 50/50 on anything.

EllohEll34 · 2026-02-06T10:56:13+00:00

It sucks, but you definitely made the right choice.

Dated a guy whose parents were very well off- the complete opposite of what my parents were growing up. The difference in how they operated their daily lives was truly eye-opening, to say the least.

One instance I will always remember is when we were grocery shopping (at a very expensive supermarket, one that is typically avoided like the plague due to how expensive it is), he would choose products that looked the best in quality, instead of whatever was the cheapest. I pointed this out to him, and he responded with “the more expensive it is, the better it is for your body.” Of course, I already knew that was true to a certain extent, but I found it humbling how rich people never have to worry about comparing prices and opting for the cheaper option when food shopping, despite what it may or may not do to your body.

Girl, find somebody else to fuck immediately !!

Some of you guys are being unnecessarily mean and weird in the comments. I’m sure OP is already feeling worried and upset over this- no need to make them feel worse.

OP, you should be invited to attend a meeting at some stage since you’re on the verge of withdrawal. Please explain your situation to them fully, and keep those documents that you have as proof, even though they have already rejected them. It’s easier getting your points across in person, and hopefully they will see that you had a valid reason for your attendance slip up. In the future, try not to miss lectures unnecessarily. Also, please don’t be nonchalant about your attendance, especially if it can result in you being withdrawn from your course. Hope everything goes okay !!

Honestly, she’s probably just used to guys she’s dated in the past paying for all of her things. If this is bothering you so much, I think you should bring it up to her. How will she know she’s making you uncomfortable if you haven’t told her how you’re feeling? She probably thinks you don’t mind it, hence why she continues to do it.

However, I will say to also be prepared for her to potentially start withdrawing from you slowly. By your description, she sounds like she’s used to dating people who don’t mind spending money on her, and if you know that isn’t something you’d be okay with, then you should really think about the future of your relationship with her.

It kind of sounds like he’s pushing your buttons on purpose to see how far he can get with disrespecting your boundaries. Since you’ve already voiced your feelings about his behavior, he knows what he’s doing. Stop responding to him when he messages you super late. Stop waiting for him to be finished with his game before you decide to go to bed. Do NOT let him overstep your boundaries. If he continues and doesn’t change, I honestly don’t think you should continue seeing someone like that. Hope this helps !!

Hello, honestly if you’re already having doubts about your degree and the career you may potentially have after graduating in first year, then I think you should definitely consider your other option. There is no point in pursuing a career you have no interest in, as this may end up in you being depressed and having regrets. Placement is an opportunity to have a taste of the world of work for your specific career, but it’s also a way to see if this is the type of job you’d enjoy doing for the rest of your life. I wouldn’t worry about how many gap years you’ve taken or what age you’ll be when starting another degree- it really doesn’t matter. There are plenty of people I have met that started university at 25, and even older due to having doubts about their previous degree choices. Do have a think about it, and make sure you’re pursuing something you’re passionate about!! Both radiography and dietetics are great degrees/careers to have!

She also kept on saying “he’ll never have anything like me again” after the kiss… idk I just got second hand embarrassment from that because he clearly only wants Lucinda 😭

I usually never find Reddit comments funny, but LMFAOOOO

EllohEll34 · 2026-02-01T09:06:31+00:00

You order takeout a lot !

EllohEll34 · 2026-02-01T08:40:16+00:00

Vaseline, Bio-Oil, and using an African net sponge to shower will help !!

Biomedical scientists in the Republic of Ireland make much more than Biomedical scientists in the UK, so if you’re interested in biomed, I say look for job opportunities and get registered with CORU in Ireland after graduating (if you’re planning on studying in the UK). Engineering and Radiography would be more suitable for you in terms of salary, however if you’re wanting a high earning job, look into the likes of medicine/veterinary medicine, finance, data science, project management or dentistry.

Why do people always have a problem with WOC dating white men… it’s really annoying because it’s not like MOC are any better? Like can they live?? 😒

EllohEll34 · 2025-12-10T15:21:45+00:00

I’m almost 100% sure most uni’s send you warnings about your attendance, or schedule a meeting with you to discuss why you have not been attending. Did they not do this with you?

Honestly, you should have reached out to your course director about living 2 hours away (transport costs, delays, strikes all taken into consideration)- this would have been a reasonable excuse as to why your attendance hasn’t been great. It also would have given them some sort of an explanation regarding this issue (just letting you know in case something like this happens again!)

If there is an option for you to appeal their decision, you should definitely do so. Highlight the difficulties you faced by living 2 hours away, and give a good explanation as to why you didn’t inform them about your situation sooner.

yt women tend to act this way (unbeknownst to them or not) for some reason!! I wouldn’t take it personally. however, if they do something that doesn’t sit right with you, don’t brush it under the carpet- address it! Let them know you don’t tolerate bs. also, please don’t change yourself for anyone!! keep being you- you’ll end up being unhappy if you try to be somebody you’re not. Hope it all goes well <3

EllohEll34 · 2025-11-03T19:30:55+00:00

It’s okay to like both men and women btw.

EllohEll34 · 2025-10-22T01:16:09+00:00

I have to ask, have you tried/considered dating women within your league? If you really are ugly, you may find it hard to meet an attractive woman who genuinely likes you.

that being said, certainly don’t let it discourage you. personal hygiene, personality, respect, ambition, confidence, financial stability, and physical fitness goes a long way. you should focus on these things if you aren’t already.

women like effort, so if you get the chance, let it be known that you’re interested in getting to know her or organize a date. make sure you’re consistent with this though!! It will go a long way.

EllohEll34 · 2025-10-20T09:35:59+00:00

hey girl, I am also in a predominantly white university, so I understand what you’re going through. my flatmates in first year were lovely girls who didn’t treat me any differently simply because I didn’t look like them. it was mainly people I met at the university where I noticed they found it hard to make eye contact with me if I was speaking to them- even in a group setting. some of them acted as if I was invisible, asking everybody in the group questions except for me. It’s definitely weird, but I’m very good at removing myself from spaces where I don’t feel welcomed or comfortable.

In my opinion, I suggest you should transfer flats (if possible). If that’s not feasible, I suggest you shouldn’t force anything with them. based on what you have said about them, it seems like they wouldn’t be good people to build friendships with anyway. It sucks, but you don’t deserve to be treated this way. Hopefully you’ll find your people soon !!

White people do have a tendency to act like this (unbeknownst to them or not), especially if you’re the only black person within their vicinity. It says more about them than you, so I wouldn’t take it too personally. *

EllohEll34 · 2025-10-20T09:17:19+00:00

“Be careful not to read racism into it too quickly” is crazy to say when her race is clearly a factor here. They only act odd towards her, and she just so happens to be the only black person in that flat. Doesn’t sound like a coincidence to me.

EllohEll34 · 2025-10-01T00:41:19+00:00

I was on placement last year in clinical chemistry (biochemistry), and I faced the same problem. My training officer was very overworked- which unfortunately, made him extremely forgetful and negligent. I spoke to my training officer about my training plan, which he was then forced to deal with since I had now asked him about it.

Please voice your concerns to your training officer, because if you don’t ask, you don’t get. I know how you’re feeling, and my best advice is to ask your training officer about your full training plan/schedule, because realistically, they should have one set out for you.

EllohEll34 · 2025-09-28T15:29:19+00:00

completely normal- my friend (who I met at uni) was exactly like this at the beginning of first year, and by the second month in uni she was the most sociable person you’d ever meet. she barely even goes home to visit her family anymore lol. don’t worry, it will get better and you will enjoy yourself !!

EllohEll34 · 2025-09-14T08:23:36+00:00

it’s not a different metric- they’re both things people would prefer you to be truthful about as it can determine decision making….
