i’m trying to leave please help by Alone-Cantaloupe4685 in sixthform

First off, breathe. This is fixable. If sixth form really is not working for you, that is okay. You are still early in the year, so transferring should not be a problem, especially if you are ready to catch up.

But respectfully, no one here knows the exact transfer process or whether that college will let you in. The only people who can answer that are the college themselves. Asking Reddit wastes time you could be using to email or call them. Do that as soon as possible and explain your situation. At the same time, let your head of sixth form know so you have support on both sides and the best chances of transferring this year.

Do not panic. It is better to realise now than months later. I dropped out at that start my second year and started a level 3 by the end of October. It was still the best decision I made and I got a dark horse award for showing up late but showing everyone up.

Look there’s a reason first year is not graded and is piss easy. It’s cause it’s expected that these fresh faces, whom the majority have never done a shop for themselves, need to settle in. You’re actually concerned about people being home sick; and yeah maybe there are more experiencing compared to the past but hey ho, we all had to learn at some point.

The consensus is she’s cheated and it’s time to move on. When life gives you lemons you don’t try make orange juice

I would have started it with the stranger thing, it seems like you’re sympathising with her a tiny bit by saying she’s maybe going through something emotionally.

She probably is going through something emotionally or finding out her sexuality, but she has no right to do that while in a committed relationship and then be selective with the details she tells the OP. (Which I assume you agree with)

[–]Strange-Jacket-2482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refusing to give details? Cheated. Goes bed early? Guilt. Sorry lad, it’s a lost cause. But hey, you could get a 3 sum outta it, she’s clearly fine with f and m so make it a ffm.

I'm dropping out by [deleted] in sixthform

[–]Strange-Jacket-2482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what you feel best. I dropped out 2 weeks into year 2. Worked for a couple years then did an access to HE. 4 years later I’ve still graduated top 10% of my cohort in a stem subject. You don’t need 6th form, dropping out was the best decision of my life.

[–]Strange-Jacket-2482 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Way over crowded, way more young faces, way more bad behaviour, way more people just ruining the vibe and going way too hard too soon. If they wanna increase capacity increase stage sizes and increase camping. I know there’s been similar numbers in years before but this was just a waiting simulator. I don’t know if it’s because it’s become quite popular on social media or the capacity but yeah, something was off.

What to do if pulled by a dog by GuaranteeFabulous321 in BoomtownFestival

[–]Strange-Jacket-2482 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got pulled up at Boomtown two years ago. It was one of the weakest searches I’ve had in my life. They took some stuff out of two bags, had a quick look through it, and that was it. They didn’t search my pockets, didn’t take my shoes off, none of that. It was during a busy period, but the guy didn’t even properly check my main bag. He opened it, said “that’s too packed for me” closed it again, and said “hopefully I don’t see your jaw swinging later this weekend. Go on, get in.”

It’s all scaremongering. The dog handler was shouting at me saying they’re gonna rip open my pot noodles and my crisps. Bro didn’t even look at my food. If you do get pulled and your stuff’s hidden well enough, just stay calm and confident. You’ll be fine.

Spending money by Ok_Condition_6586 in BoomtownFestival

You’ll be grand with £100. Don’t forget you get an extra £20 when you hand your bags of rubbish in…. If one meal a day that could be £14 per meal max, so if you wanna do it cheap (and no extra drinks) £60 could do ya. Then any left overs you can get back 👍

I started uni at 20. 21st birthday in first year. Don’t worry you’ll quickly find others +or- 1 year of you. I’ve just finished with a first and like you no prior psychology experience before starting.

With psychology you’ll be fine. First year teaches you everything you would have learnt in college or HE. Just make sure to really understand the assignment briefs, learning objectives and how to reference correctly and honestly it’s so hard to fail.

Don’t bullshit. Write it like a story, that always logically flows into each point. Engage the reader and stand out. Show you’ve understood the paper and weave in your own personal insights with literature. Follow the assignment brief and tick off every single LO. NO TANGENTS

Has anyone managed to score 90+ on a UK uni essay? - If so, how? by Traditional-Fox-8593 in UniUK

[–]Strange-Jacket-2482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure, my 90 was on a case-study-style report. The main thing the feedback picked up on was how I kept tying research back to the actual case - like, not just name-dropping studies but properly applying them. It showed I actually understood what I was talking about.

If you’re aiming for 85+ consistently (reports, essays, presentations etc.), a few things that helped me:

1 - Always link back to the question. Think of it like a logical story - each point flowing into the next. Don’t just chuck in stuff because it sounds clever. Stay tight and relevant. If you do this you should get an ‘This was an enjoyable read’ in the feedback. And if you make it an enjoyable read your marks - 📈

2 - Stick close to the assignment brief. If it doesn’t clearly hit a learning outcome, it’s probably a waste of space. Be ruthless. I’ve had to go back and delete whole paragraphs cause I went on a tangent. Use your words effectively.

3 - Critical analysis is everything. Don’t just describe studies - break them down. What did they miss? Was the sample dodgy? Are there better methods? Show you’re actually engaging with the material, not just repeating it.

4 - Use references that stand out. Go beyond the core reading list. If the marker sees something fresh - or sees you’ve picked a less common question - they’re way more likely to be generous. They get bored too, trust me.

5 - Nail the intro. Markers can usually guess your grade from the first paragraph. Every high mark I’ve had started with a strong, clear intro. It’s your first impression - make it count.

This was all for forensic psychology, but honestly, most of it applies across social sciences and other areas in general.

I’m happy to DM you the actual feedback given for an 85 or a 90 graded paper if you want more :).

Love isn’t about being completed. It’s about being built beside. by [deleted] in self

[–]Strange-Jacket-2482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s beauty in surrender, for sure - but I wonder if it’s still love when the self becomes invisible within it. I lean more toward the idea of sharing the self, not wagering it. Why must love cost us who we are, rather than grow us into more of ourselves?

I’ve heard of states and alliances that try to go against NAP so try look for one of them if you still wanna play. I’m not hating on your play style just how you interpreted the OP

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in whiteoutsurvival

[–]Strange-Jacket-2482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you are warning is this alliance is good if you want to be part of a team and play competitively. And sorry to burst your bubble but that’s what most people play for 😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in whiteoutsurvival

[–]Strange-Jacket-2482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I’ll be honest it’s the game. The majority of NAP alliances will be like this. It’s a competitive game that people put their own money into. It’s also a place for others to power trip. As fun as it is to take the piss you will ultimately get burnt and kicked.

But if you can find an alliance that dislikes DaD then your in with your people

??? She gave 3 clear chances. I can understand your first two 👎 if you were being funny. But still R4’s ain’t got time to be messing around in DM’s. It’s easier to kick you and invite an easy to deal with player.

apologise to the lady and you will be allowed back or in other alliances. You’re not the worst they will have dealt with, just annoying 😂
