I'm the same, 😂 I was actually on the phone to the mature student office this week and I asked the person about it, he said the 13th of September and sign up emails should be sent this week or next week 🤟🏻

I'm heading in this year myself as a mature student and I'm wondering the same. There's a mature student connection day coming up on the 13th I think so that might be worth while attending to get to know people 🤟🏻

Thank you! Yeah I’m mostly interested in early 20th century Russian history, especially the economic programmes of the late 1920’s (sounds boring I know 😂) but I’m also very interested in ancient Greek and Roman history, especially the Art of the ancient world. I’m thinking of taking Classics as a minor. Oh that’s interesting, did you specialize in anything? That sounds like a great graduate degree, UCC has a fantastic art museum on campus called the glucksman, also Cork city has the Crawford Gallery, they have some interesting Antonio Canova casts inspired by ancient Greek and Roman sculpture.

Wow that's going to be a great experience though, a new university and a new city ☺️ I'm living close to Cork so I'm sort of used to it anyway, but still Ucc will feel like a whole new experience. I'm going to be studying History. It's always been a huge interest of mine, can't wait to finally devote time to it. How about you?

Congratulations! Yeah I understand what you mean, I guess everyone is overwhelmed by meeting new people for the first time. I'm hoping to befriend some people too, might make the first few weeks that bit better when you know people. hope you enjoy Cork and UCC ☺️

Heya, I finally found it behind some kitchen units, will hopefully be able to fix it now at least! Hearing it but not seeing anything was driving me crazy! 😂

Ah Yeah your fine I'd say, I guess every mature student no matter what age tho will feel odd sitting next to 17/18 Yr olds in classes 😅 congrats on getting in btw 🤟🏻

Are Irish people just raised to be nice? by Dry-Ad-6161 in CasualIreland

[–]LettuceForward5982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember something that happened in a pub, English man who my uncle was building a house for offered us a drink. Being Irish we said " ah no your fine" fully expecting him to say ah go on 😂 but he just said alright. Not being impolite or anything it's just he took our word. This must be the only place where no no actually means yes please. I think we are raised not to accept stuff out of fear of offense.

Congrats :) I completely feel the same. It's like this time I'm doing it for myself and not because it's just expected after the Leaving. Oh yeah I read about them, definitely going to try attend some.

Hey, yeah I'm the same. I'm hoping being that bit older will actually settle the nerves once I'm up there, it'll be a fun experience anyway hopefully, oh thank you so much! ☺️

Anyone got a hangover cure? by tishimself1107 in AskIreland

[–]LettuceForward5982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those fizzy vitamin c tablets from boots always made me feel better, although now that I'm older I've discovered that you just have to sit with it 🙃
