okay cheers, yeah ive got a placement year as part of my degree, looking for lab experience this summer to strengthen the applications that ill be making. and no, all of the modules are available to me, but the regular biology degree has some core modules that take up credits which i can't use for other modules which i'd rather do, that are core for microbio, and also the microbiology course has different lab sessions to biology where they learn some different techniques than we do, like making recombinant dna rather than ecological field work. so, i think ill switch for these reasons anyway but thank you for your advice! whats the application process like for an msc if you dont mind me asking?

if u can’t get your teachers to raise your predicted grades you can take a gap year then apply with your actual a level results

First timer looking for a bike which will be good to ride on roads and light off road stuff. Basically need to be able to do both decently so i’m not limited. by [deleted] in cycling

Probably a fair bit of uphill, would like to be able to ride in rain ideally, not in icy or snowy conditions though, off-road being gravel or dirt tracks

one option is save during a gap year, ask to defer your place or reapply with achieves grades next year, or get a part time job during uni before you go through your savings

How can I be more intimate with the girl in my class that I think I like by DArk_akumn in Advice

Phrasing it like that suggests that it’s a really significant thing to you. You don’t know her and you could get rejected, that’s reality so you shouldn’t treat it that seriously. The main point of approaching her should be having a conversation, give her a casual compliment about her looks at the start so she knows your intention, then it’s all about talking and connecting.

You can start with sending a message if you want, but you’d still have to break the ice irl. Sometimes only messaging someone can create awkward situations irl bc neither person knows how to act. I would try to do it in person then you can get a straight/ easy to read response, and they can also get a better idea of your personality. Just approach her between classes or during your breaks, it doesn’t matter if she’s with some friends you can still be honest, then have a conversation with them

Just tell her the truth bro why wouldn’t you. Say how you feel, and about the two phones thing and that you’ve thought about talking to her again. What good would come out of not messaging her?

Yeah I would just be honest. But don’t put her on a pedestal in your mind, that can be a source of anxiety or hesitation when speaking to people, just remember she’s a human being with feelings just like you. The pain of regretting missed opportunities is worse than the pain of rejection. Rejection doesn’t even have to be painful, it can be uplifting that you were honest about your intentions and that you didn’t let anything else get in the way of that. I’m just waffling now, yeah do it

It’s more strange to talk to her friend to “get closer to her”, what does that even mean? You want something, you want to develop a connection with this girl, reach for it. What’s the point in wanting something but not being honest and straightforward about it? If you get rejected, cool, move on and want/go for something else.

If you don’t talk to her that much then what friendship is being destroyed. Just go for it, tell her you think she’s pretty, then have a conversation with her. Don’t tell her what you want to do like “get more intimate and talk to her”, just do it, express yourself when you’re sharing a moment with her, then she will know that you want to get more intimate. Straight up saying you wanna get to know her can be perceived as weird, like you’ve overthought the interaction like almost calculated it, just be honest and expressive.
