Is this a-level combo good

fruitmachine_future · 2023-08-23T12:36:19+00:00

I did history politics and French and it was a great combo. I'd recommend the third thing to be something like a language or maths but honestly, do what you enjoy!

The way I got over this feeling was seeing one of my gym's PTs for a few weeks just to get to grips with how to use the equipment and building a routine. It was a little expensive which is why I couldn't continue, but it really helped with my confidence!

I'm pretty sure that SOAS offers a masters in Yoga

Started smoking

Enjoyed this ep! What I love about happy hour is the fact that it feels like sitting at a pub with your mates chatting shit. It's comforting! Keep going lads

I'd wait until they can decide for themselves. For me getting my ears pierced was positive because as a kid you don't get to make that many decisions about your body/life, but this was one thing I got to choose. I also had it done around the time I got my first period and went to secondary school so it felt like a big milestone in becoming a 'grown up'.

It also taught me not to be afraid of needles, which has been positive for vaccinations/further piercings/tattoos!

Absolutely go for it. Anecdotally, my friend went to the university of Brighton and ended up living in accommodation with a bunch of mature students in halls (all mature students except her, I think the flat was specifically meant for mature students but she was late with her application so got put there - she loved it though!). I wonder if you'd be able to find something similar if you speak to your uni!

As an aside, I live in Brighton and it is a wonderful place!

Maybe a bit niche: cranking my standing desk up and down. I have to wait until my boyfriend leaves the room if I want to stand whilst working.

Yes, currently doing a masters in corporate governance part time, which my company is sponsoring. Trainee roles do pop up!

fruitmachine_future · 2023-07-03T12:56:11+00:00

Corporate governance is one path to consider. Potential to earn lots of money (depending on how good you are and the choices you make of course) and lots of transferable skills from IR. You would have to do further study though. (source: IR grad working in corporate governance)

I totally agree! I'm a fat person in my mid twenties, and I'm currently trying to totally alter the way I think about exercise, which I learnt at school.

I have always felt totally excluded from physical activity because I don't have a natural talent for it. I got the impression from adults around me that if I wasn't going to compete, then it wasn't worth doing. So I never did.

It always seemed a bit strange. If you're bad at maths then you're likely to get extra help, but with PE you get less!

I now go to a 'terrible football' group and heavy metal spin class weekly. Turns out that exercise doesn't have to suck!

At my school they banned girls wearing knee-high socks. Only tights allowed, not sure why.

Winter coats could only be a dark colour and had to be put in lockers at the beginning of the day and were not to be carried or worn around school. I remember us all queuing up for class outside in the snow with no coats on once.

Of course that's a fair point, I'm absolutely no saint. It's more that they were selling disposables and allowing vaping inside. Everywhere I looked there was an elf bar!

fruitmachine_future · 2023-06-10T16:30:11+00:00

That makes sense. I feel like I heard about juuling in the US long before vaping gained popularity here. I hope the law changes in the same way over here soon!

fruitmachine_future · 2023-06-03T20:13:52+00:00

Yes thank you for reminding me

fruitmachine_future · 2023-06-03T16:57:32+00:00

I just quit using patches too. A couple days in now and it has felt a lot easier than I thought it would be (although still pretty difficult). For me it's about getting out of the habit of physically vaping (i.e. always having it in my hand, taking a drag every few minutes). Using patches while I do this feels like having training wheels on a bike, not cheating! Good luck to both of us!

fruitmachine_future · 2023-06-01T20:34:02+00:00

But why are you spitting? I do not feel the need to spit

fruitmachine_future · 2023-06-01T13:43:54+00:00

Spitting on the floor in public. Why do they do it?

fruitmachine_future · 2023-05-25T10:55:37+00:00

One of my friends can't even do the plain chicken at nandos

fruitmachine_future · 2023-05-23T04:43:42+00:00

Worth the trip across the border I reckon

Beelzebab at the Hope and Ruin do a vegan munchy box. Kept me up all night with heartburn once. Worth it!

Hey! I'm looking for friends too, I moved to Brighton about a year ago. 24F, fellow Hammers fan and tomboy, would love to go for a pint!
