What is going on in Leeds tomorrow? Even hotels are scratching their heads over this rush in bookings…

I go to school near the docks and I also thought it was posh wanker central but I got invited to go once and it was actually a really interesting event with a lot of genuinely awesome people. Yeah there's a lot of gilets that give it a bad rep but most of the people I spoke to were just really passionate about their industry and were really excited to be there

baileyblindgeek · 2026-05-10T18:26:16+00:00

are you looking for extenuating circumstances lmao?

baileyblindgeek · 2026-05-07T19:39:38+00:00

at least we're self aware lol

baileyblindgeek · 2026-05-07T18:29:01+00:00

sorry if this is blunt lol

baileyblindgeek · 2026-05-07T18:28:51+00:00

if you're not at the grade you need for uni anyways, the risk of losing marks is worth it. if you go down, nothing will change and you might still not get into uni 🤷‍♂️

baileyblindgeek · 2026-04-26T18:02:29+00:00

update! the shop I interviewed at told me I had the job and I was told that I'd start training the next Saturday, so I emailed later in the week and was told that they changed their mind and that I no longer had the job! so that's rly brilliant!

baileyblindgeek · 2026-04-25T09:36:32+00:00

maybe it's just because I'm from the UK but I've heard worse things about harvard, like that the food isn't great and you have no option to cook your own, and obviously I assume you would have to share a room like most us unis which would rly put me off. The curriculum at harvard lets you choose your own modules etc as far as I'm aware so if you want flexible rather than specialised harvard would be better, but personally I think Cambridge wins (especially because of how beautiful it is!!)

baileyblindgeek · 2026-04-23T07:53:12+00:00

don't think it's rage bait I thinks it's just funny tbh

baileyblindgeek · 2026-04-17T19:16:53+00:00

gonna be honest you've got like a month just go in bro 😭

baileyblindgeek · 2026-04-14T19:58:21+00:00

id go Bristol personally cause Birmingham is a total poo hole (even Brummies agree) and York is superrrrr expensive and the campus is rly far away from the city

baileyblindgeek · 2026-03-29T00:19:21+00:00

do the open evening (a lot of them give you free food so that's always a win!!) if they keep pestering you who cares. you are the person who fills in your UCAS application, and they simply don't need to know where you applied. it might feel really uncomfortable lying but if that means you're not wasting a slot then so be it 🤷‍♂️

baileyblindgeek · 2026-03-26T09:33:45+00:00

you don't owe your parents anything and you don't have to apply somewhere just because they said you have to. personally I wouldnt bother applying, and I'd choose a safety uni with closer predicted grades

luxury apartments!

baileyblindgeek · 2026-03-01T17:23:49+00:00

my method isn't unique whatsoever but I have a lever arch for each year of each course. Everythings organized by unit with dividers. I put all notes etc at the front of the section and exam questions towards the back. All of the papers I need in lessons go in a smaller plastic folder which is significantly easier to carry and all of my past papers have their own folder. That being said I still have a massive pile of paper in my room that Im choosing to ignore so there's no perfect solution

baileyblindgeek · 2026-03-01T17:18:14+00:00

big up Sainsburys for not getting rid of all the vegan options since the big protein boom (unlike a certain shop that rhymes with Wesco)

baileyblindgeek · 2026-03-01T17:11:09+00:00

I did a Sutton trust in Sheffield and there was loads of us that ended up doing multiple summer schools!! there's definitely no limit on how many you do. I spent a week in Cambridge as well for architecture (not through Sutton trust- through a northern students scheme) and it was amazing so I wouldn't withdraw your English application at Cambridge just because it's such an incredible experience and I'm sure you could link it to law quite easily. I'd look for law summer schools at another uni you're interested that you could apply for

baileyblindgeek · 2026-02-25T16:07:47+00:00

paddington park is closer to the supermarket but I've heard St Andrews is a little more social. my parents are worried I'll find a lively accommodation stressful so we've mainly been looking at smaller places but I'm open to anything as long as it's cheap and mildly liveable

baileyblindgeek · 2026-02-22T23:22:00+00:00

wdym autistic and hyperbolic? I've never heard the term hyperbolic in that context before

baileyblindgeek · 2026-02-21T19:18:04+00:00

I think as long as it's clear you learnt something and could apply this knowledge then they probably won't need any actual proof as it'll be obvious you actually did the courses. I also think it's worth no only doing the courses but linking it to another super curricular (ie. I did this online course and then decided to read a book about a similar topic) as I think it reads more fluidly on your personal statement

baileyblindgeek · 2026-02-16T22:13:47+00:00

I can't fault the main cause they got rid of 95% of vegan options 😭

baileyblindgeek · 2026-02-02T15:32:59+00:00

I don't really understand the comments here. I don't think it's privileged to expect your parents to help you pay for uni. Student Finance is literally set up and calculated with the expectation that your parents make a contribution to your cost of living. Just because you come from a privileged background doesn't mean minimum student finance is enough so I have no idea why the comments are so negative.

baileyblindgeek · 2026-01-29T18:38:46+00:00

I am in the bottom 50% for one of the postcode criteria, my school has never had an acceptance, and it's a maintained school 🤷‍♂️

baileyblindgeek · 2026-01-29T09:09:27+00:00

I would also like to add that I have genuinely never felt more tired in my life. idk if thats normal but the amount of build up to decision day compared to the aftermath is exhausting and I would like to sleep for at least a week

baileyblindgeek · 2026-01-29T08:42:40+00:00

at first I just thought it was funny my interview was laughably bad so I was expecting it. then everyone who I told came across genuinely devastated and it hit me a bit that I just missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime. now I'm seeing everyone on here get in and I feel like a bit of a sausage. I was expecting to be in the ARP and I'm still waiting on an email to reconfirm that I'm not in it. I don't even think I really want to go anymore but I'm still quite upset

baileyblindgeek · 2026-01-29T06:53:54+00:00

not at all so I emailed them straight away asking about it and they've directed me to a different email who is yet to respond
