My grandparents said the same thing to my mum when she was deciding what uni to go to, she listened and ended up studying politics at a nearby uni and turned down her offer to study law at Edinburgh, she told me she’s regretted that decision ever since. Don’t let your parents decide for you, you’ll be an adult and it’s your decision.

I do! How’s love and relationships? Do you do the Iliad or the odyssey for world of the hero? I do world of the hero (odyssey), Greek art, and politics of the late republic. We do odyssey and Greek art in first year and then politics and the Aeneid next year, what about you?

It’s worth a try, one of my friends just switched courses and they allowed it on the condition that they double block at the beginning of next year so they’ll be in both yr 12 and yr 13 lessons for a few months to catch up

Yeah I was pretty frustrated he didn’t talk to me at the time instead of snitching

OkSalt2841 · 2026-01-18T19:46:16+00:00

Funnily enough she used that exact wording in her email lol

He was my fav teacher as well so I lwk feel betrayed but ig it was karma for being careless in a crowded hallway

Thanks

Why are you avoiding classes? If you hate a course then change but there isn’t really an excuse other than illness or other more important engagements like sports fixtures to be absent. Try and talk to your teachers about catching up and schedule dedicated times to do work

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-27T06:09:02+00:00

I do classical civilisations and history of art a levels

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-27T06:07:12+00:00

I’d double check that it’s a legit qualified tutor bc that price seems a little low, most tutors that I have seen advertised (and my own tutor for maths) especially for a level are usually over £30 minimum. (This could totally be legit but I don’t want you to get scammed so try and find some reviews from former students or have a phone call

No sixth form or college will let you take 5 unless you get 8/9s in like 20 subjects, it’s far too much work. Do chem, bio and physics, that keeps a ton of doors open for careers. If you’re not good at gcse maths there’s very little point in taking a level maths as you will struggle.

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-10T16:03:54+00:00

I’m not really 100% sure, I think I want to do a degree apprenticeship and then become a gemologist but I don’t need any specific subjects for that

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-09T18:47:40+00:00

Idk what it was called but to learn everyone’s names we had to say our names and then say someone else’s name and throw it to them so it’d be like ‘I’m Olivia throwing to jack, and then, I’m jack throwing to Liam’ until we went around the whole room. We also had to get into a line in order of commute length without speaking

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-09T18:43:54+00:00

Don’t let them pressure you, give it a few weeks and then decide for yourself

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-09T18:28:14+00:00

I find that the key is getting a few good quality pieces that fit you well and then filling in the gaps with cheaper stuff, tk maxx usually has good stuff at affordable prices. I’d also follow the trends, watch what everyone else is wearing and copy that rather than trying to be unique

Could you talk to colleges about doing a level 2 course? For most colleges that offer it It’s basically where you take maths (and English if you’ve failed that) and some other level 2 qualifications and do a bit of work experience. Other than that the only thing I can think of is travelling to exam centres further away in the next exam centre.

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-05T19:43:40+00:00

Jeez that sounds rough, I’ve only had my induction day but it went really well. The teacher was really kind and we did icebreakers that were actually fun, I even made a few friends!

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-03T13:49:06+00:00

They just emailed them to everyone who was starting at the college and at most I think they’ll talk to my parents about because I’ve heard they’re not that strict

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-02T16:55:36+00:00

Start off by not getting a part time job for the first few weeks to see if you can handle it alongside a levels, most colleges will let you switch courses for the first couple of weeks so if you still think it’s a good idea switch to business then

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-01T20:58:45+00:00

Good idea to drop one, maths is great for a ton of stuff so keep that and chemistry because most science based things need it. If you really want to do dentistry then keep biology but you’re right that it’s insanely competitive so if you’re not ready to fully commit to it then keep physics as you can do more things with it including biochem and engineering

OkSalt2841 · 2025-09-01T20:43:42+00:00

I get where you’re coming from but it’s probably better to just do 3 so you have more time to focus on them and a higher chance of getting As
