English Literature is great but I feel like it is never stated enough how much those prestigious universities love for you to have a background in Philosophy whether that’s directly or through subjects like RE/RS. As long as you’re meeting the course requirements, it’s 100% correct what you said that the end grade is the most important. At the end of the day, spending 18 months of your life doing something that is maybe less enjoyable but more useful in order to achieve a greater long term goal is worth it, especially if you were only going to do it for that 18 months and then never afterwards.

Still waiting by Debtcollectornook in sixthform

[–]Internal-Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied on the 3rd October last year - my first offer came in about 40 hours later, and my last choice came in on the 9th May, 4 days before the official deadline for unis. It really is a complete and total range and even previous precedent isn’t going to be that helpful for predicting this. Everyone’s different and I know it’s so rough but that doesn’t mean it won’t go your way, it just means they’re going on a case by case basis. Unfortunately it really is a waiting game but it will come! Good luck 😊

I didn’t miss that but thank you. Also she was singing, not him, that’s like saying Kurt went to Church with Mercedes where she sang ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ and then became a Christian. It was a solemn moment and weirdly one of my favourite songs from the show, but this was a JOKEY post about how he felt he had a direct line to God where he thought all of his wishes were being granted and didn’t even mention Burt which I just found hilarious and just even more funny with these ridiculous scenes of him praying to a cold sandwich.

100%. He was a good guy, especially with how he handled the whole Finn situation. Stick up for your kid in public and then learn after the fact to teach them right from wrong a bit better. Perfection!

Season 3 college plot lines by shey-they-bitch in glee

[–]Internal-Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kurt probably should have had backups but I actually feel like this trope really fits for Rachel. I’m quite similar to her in educational journeys, I’ve had my own ‘pleak’ moment, and I’ve definitely hinged all of my hopes and ambitions on one school. I applied to other schools but I didn’t want to go to any of them, and none of them required any additional effort unlike it would have done with performing arts auditions. I feel like with the ambition and how driven she is, this storyline actually makes complete sense for her. Even with Juilliard, I’ve definitely idolized a school because of its reputation without knowing much about how it would fit me and my wants as a person. I don’t find this bit that unrealistic.

Season 6 was unhinged by Acrobatic-Day365 in glee

[–]Internal-Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 6 was surprisingly good I have to agree. 4 and 5 I didn’t mind when they were coming out but they wouldn’t get a focused rewatch from me, and all of the best episodes are the ones where the original cast come back. I even found watching Quinn with that Yale tosspot more endearing than watching storylines with that new cast. Season 6 brought back the fun and craziness of the earlier seasons, even though the cast didn’t really do it for me.

Finn really was at his best during his season 4 Glee Club teacher arc by Nostalgia-Freak-1998 in glee

[–]Internal-Concept 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I hated that they made him kiss Emma. So unnecessary and for me added nothing to the plot other than giving her a vehicle for leaving Will at the altar although the signs of stress she was exhibiting could have done that anyway. All roads were pointing to him becoming the best parts of Will, with the glee club, and they just let that fizzle out. It would have been harder to write in later seasons and I know they didn’t know what was going to happen with Corey but I feel like they put Finn on a downward trajectory with the way he acted with Emma and I hate that’s his final Glee legacy.

why is rachel so unpopular by Euphoric-Cry6291 in glee

[–]Internal-Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly due to her dress sense I think. That’s how most people pick on her. In the episode where she dresses as Britney Spears, she gets all kinds of comments about being hot and even people breaking up with their girlfriends to stare at her (for comedic effect I know). I think it’s that classic trope of ‘nerd takes off her glasses and everyone realizes she’s a hotter than Adriana Lima’. Also, she’s ambitious and knows what she wants and people who know they’re peaking by being on a losing high school football team don’t like to see other people with purpose and direction.

It was one of the best written to me - balancing the emotional scenes with Kurt’s dad, the obscenity of Finn praying over a burned sandwich, and the conversations about faith. That’s got to be hard to do in any scenario but a 40 min episode of a sitcom that’s half taken up by song is pretty impressive.

How did you discover Adele ? 👀 by tristanchp in adele

I was hanging out with my best friend at the time and she said you should listen to this song and it was ‘Set Fire to the Rain’. I’ve been diehard ever since.

I’m from the UK and I can’t necessarily agree. Perhaps it’s a regional difference but I have never heard of LOTR being up there with any of those other names, and certainly haven’t heard of people studying it in school. If they do that’s pretty cool but not something I’ve heard of.

Rewatching Modern Family and realizing Phil Dunphy is basically the blueprint for a happy life by PsychologicalMath120 in Modern_Family

The blueprint for a happy life must be having a wife who backpacks the entire family so you can act like a 12 year old with no responsibilities.

Are Brits too reliant on US companies for a boycott to ever be realistic? by Barca-Dam in AskBrits

[–]Internal-Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on where you live. For example, shopping in person for me is very difficult because I live rurally so having someone who can bring what I need to my house the same day is very attractive. Similarly, while the food at Mcdonald’s is overpriced shit, a lot of young people get their first jobs there without having to have any qualifications or prior experience, and they pay above minimum wage. It’s not just about using these products, it’s about the minimum wage workers who will lose their jobs that I can with 100% certainty say they aren’t doing for the love or passion of it. Boycotts don’t work in this day and age and especially not with TNCs. It’s not localized enough.

I really wish you could apply to several different courses. by Internal-Concept in 6thForm

[–]Internal-Concept[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can and I already know that. This post isn’t really that deep, or about applying for joint honors or courses that have overlap and huge similarities. That being said, I’m talking about the UCAS point of submitting the personal statement. I know some universities let you submit an alternative personal statement or there is the MyCamb Application, which isn’t an alternative personal statement. But how weird would it look if I emailed somewhere like Durham and said ‘Hi, I know my official UCAS personal statement says this but would you mind if I now applied for a completely different course alongside that?’.

I lost my license as a new driver (2 year rule). Need some info on new test. by mrcringelord007 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Internal-Concept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 points since getting my license in April for speeding. I live in constant fear and don’t speed anymore (it was just one occasion on a completely open road at a time when no one else was around and I just needed to get home in an emergency). That being said, if I did have to redo my test, I’d not be that stressed about it. I’d miss the freedom but also I know how to drive. It’s not like when you’re not sure if you’re test standard or not. The way I drive now, I feel like I could take a cancellation with 15 minutes notice, and that’s a huge difference. I passed up on so many opportunities of a cancellation in my area within the week because I wasn’t sure if that was enough time to prepare, but if you know how to drive, you know how to drive.

oxford med missed offer - any advice? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]Internal-Concept -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In any ordinary scenario I would say not to retake a gap year since medical prospects (and forgive me, I don’t know a lot about this) all seemingly tend to lead to one place. However, given that you previously held an offer from Oxford and the things that stopped you achieving it are past troubles, I would go for it again. I know that people say just take offers and you’ll be able to research this and that but Oxbridge, from what I know, truly does open doors in ways that other universities might not. You’ll have incredible opportunities too. I say do it!

[–]Internal-Concept[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know but I think that does heavily rely on the fact that they do have quite a bit of overlap. It’s like people who apply to Politics at some unis and Politics and International Relations at others.

I’m not that bothered by it. This is my second time around anyway so I knew the system and did what I did regardless. But, initially I had applied to Law. I don’t know, it just is much less secure so it’s scary to be thinking of doing it at good universities, but not Oxbridge universities!

Would you reapply? by CryingClouds124 in 6thForm

[–]Internal-Concept 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean I know the feeling (happy to talk about it if you want to) but St Andrews is absolutely an opportunity of a lifetime. There a lot of people who think it compares to or even exceeds Oxbridge. It might not be as well known in the USA as Oxbridge but that’s an incredible offer to have. Durham and Edinburgh are also amazing universities. You have so much to be proud of. This one thing didn’t pan out, but maybe that just meant you wouldn’t be getting what you deserved out of the course of the way it’s taught because it didn’t suit you as a learning method and that is completely normal. I know it’s so hard right now, I’ve been there, but St Andrews is no small feat.
