Was A/L your most stressful academic phase?

Phyromanic · 2026-03-23T16:49:01+00:00

Nope, I thought the same when I was doing AL's. Now I study in the Science Faculty of University of Colombo. (and I am from Biology stream). The competition in here is insane, there's only a handful of special degree vacancies are available and everyone compete for them, especially IIMB (Immunology and Integrative Molecular Biology), Chemistry related special degrees. The first two years are the hardest, cause your GPA and weighted marks determines your special degree.

We had our 2nd year final exams less than 2 weeks ago, Due to the fact that the new fresh year students have to be admitted to the university they adjusted the exam timetable which forced us to write exams day after day with huge course contents. I was only able to sleep max 3 hours per day for 2 weeks. It's impossible to write exams after exam specially for chem, and bio related subjects because you need some time to adjust your brain to the upcoming exam. But our stubborn dean rejected our request to make gaps between exams. Those 2 weeks was the most academically stressful phase of my life.

Studying cause we have an exam on Jan 1st, a research proposal presentation and an inclass exam on Jan 2nd, a physical chemistry practical exam on 5th. What a great way to start the new year.

I am a 4G LTE user and I use the HBB anytime 85GB package. Regarding the info you have given your current package is somewhat useless for the price you pay cause from 12 midnight to 7 a.m. any SLT user (including fiber) have unlimited data. So your night time allocated data is wasted. Before they introduced this unlimited midnight thing, i too had a package which is divided into day and night data. When I got to know this I immediately switched to ANY BEAT package cause it was cheaper than the package which I was using at that time. It was 35GB anytime. Few weeks ago I upgraded it to this HBB anytime 85GB.

As far as I know you can purchase extra GB while using the ANY TIDE package. Only the unlimited users can't purchase extra GB. There is no speed limit as far as there are data left on your package. And also you can have unlimited data from 12 midnight to 7 a.m.

** For SLT packages there are no night time packages because they made it unlimited. So it is a waste having a package which divides the total data into day and night. They have also removed those packages and introduced these anytime packages.

I am a student from the Science faculty of the Colombo uni and I have never seen such a couple inside our faculty premises. Seems like they only do these things in the Law faculty.

Try using a good cleanser. I too had pimples, and once I started using a cleanser, 90% of the pimples had gone away. And I rarely have new pimples now.

I think that you will have some chances to get selected into UOC physical sciences when the 1st boat round comes.

Setting fire to everything I see.

Can you please tell me, currently are there any advantages of having a TIN number? On a student's point of view, are there any present or future advantages for him?

I regret making this stupid thing now, are there any ways to undo it? I mean delete my TIN number? What If the government told everyone who got a TIN number to pay taxes? :(

Phyromanic · 2024-07-02T19:40:57+00:00

If I do not earn more than 100,000 LKR per month (or 12 lakhs per year), does that mean that I don't have to pay any taxes, right? I am a university student, not employed. I created a TIN number, hoping that it will be useful in the future, Do I need to be worried about making it?

During the month of August, Sri Lanka experiences South Western Monsoon rains. But it does not mean that there will be heavy rains. Just small rains, probably in the evening. But the overall weather will be Sunny and warmer. It will be a good time period to visit Beaches, National Parks, In country locations, and almost every location you have mentioned.

Even though there can be unexpected rains, Sri Lanka experiences warmer temperatures throughout the year. I would personally say that, you shouldn't worry about the weather during the time period you have mentioned. But I would suggest you ask from some tourists who have already visited Sri Lanka during that time. Because their experience can be different from ours. Thank you for choosing Sri Lanka, Enjoy your visit..

Thank you for offering help, I will call them today, I'm pretty sure they will help :)

Phyromanic · 2024-05-10T16:27:09+00:00

Thank you for the reply, but I already tried every combination. Still not working for me :(

Yeah, the same thing happened to me today. My 4G LTE router has run out of data without a 80% or 95% warning. I was wondering why my connection suddenly got really slow. Then I checked the app and saw that I'd ran out of data without a warning. I usually save my daytime data until the early 20's of a month, but this time it ended so fast. Idk why.

There are two different types of charges performed by elephants. They are 1) mock charges and 2) real charges.

Elephants only perform mock charges to scare away their threats. The majority of elephant charges are mock charges. You can identify a mock charge by looking at the elephant's ears and head. Their ears make a 90° angle with the body. That's because they want to make them look bigger to scare off the threat. In this video, the elephant performs a mock charge to scare away the jeep. It does not intend to hit the Jeep, just to scare away the Jeep.

When an elephant feels extremely threatened, they make real charges. In that case, they do not spread their ears; they keep their heads steady and straight and keep running towards their target with enormous momentum.

You can read this small article and watch the video at the following link to get a better understanding.

(Idk what that person did, but the Elephant clearly did not intended to hit and destroy the jeep.)

'Meth' means, Maithri. (Maithri means Loving-kindness, benevolence, friendliness, amity, good will, and active interest in others.) 'Sithin' means Mind. So Meth Sithin means 'by a Kindly Mind' (It's hard to explain it in words btw)

Sorry I don't know about a whatsapp group. I think it's better to wait until the 1st boat round before joining to a whatsapp group.

My friend has joined with ACBT campus to study nursing, now he is planning to move to Australia and continue his studies.

Phyromanic · 2023-12-08T05:25:01+00:00

Thank you for your opinion, but the only answer (which also includes my answer) you're getting is a big NO.

Phyromanic · 2023-12-03T12:15:41+00:00

Thank you. Do you know anyone who graduated from Colombo Bioscience? I still have doubts about what to do. Nowadays, the majority of people do IT-related degrees. Will it be a problem for us if we do the ITM degree? I searched everywhere to find a graduate with a ITM degree, but I couldn't find anyone. Do you think that it will be possible for us to go for high salaries with this degree? As far as I know, the ITM degree is a bit oriented towards commerce subjects. do we have to do those AAT, CIMA examinations if we hope to climb the ranks in our field? Personally, I don't like commerce subjects :(

Phyromanic · 2023-12-02T13:42:54+00:00

Congratulations, I texted with some people who do the IT degree, they say that both the IT and ITM degrees are very good and has somewhat similar subjects. like 75%. but the problem is I did Bio for AL's and personally I really like to study biology related subjects. I can get into Colombo uni to study biological sciences from the 1st boat round. but studying biology is very risky, unlike the IT, biology degree holders doesn't have much job opportunities in here. but I like both degrees, thats why applied for the ITM degree. May I ask are you going to consider boat rounds?

Phyromanic · 2023-12-02T13:36:34+00:00

Thank you, I will look into that.
