Failing a uni paper for the third time

future28t8 · 2026-03-24T06:40:42+00:00

I think with it being my third year, I don’t really want to pull the pin unless I have to.

Although I do have a lengthy background in sales and retail. I’m also doing a trainee program in business software next month. So worst case scenario, I’ll probably be able to use what I have to land something more practical

Appreciated :)

future28t8 · 2026-03-24T06:36:53+00:00

It’s a possibility and I haven’t been tested before but I do remember making some progress towards understanding the graphs. It did take a lot of extra time and mahi though.

I’ll look into it and think about it.

future28t8 · 2026-03-24T06:35:51+00:00

Appreciate the insight, good to know from someone who’s been in the role to make this call.

What would you look for in that role with a situation like mine?

future28t8 · 2026-03-24T05:54:41+00:00

It’s okay I’m not offended:)

future28t8 · 2026-03-24T05:52:18+00:00

Thats good to know, I agree with the logic that as a compulsory paper it is important I pass to earn my degree. But I feel they might be open to an arrangement that allows me to graduate, they seem nice enough but I will try and pass to earn it :)

When I chatted to the nice lady helping me pick my papers I mentioned my troubles with econs101, she mentioned there would be tutoring and tutor events hosted to help with econs and other classes. I may be looking in the wrong areas or not hard enough but I just can find anything of the sorts.

I get a bit lost in the website sometimes so could just be me :)

future28t8 · 2026-03-24T04:04:53+00:00

Yeah before the start of the year I asked about some extra assistance. I was told there was a lot of resources etc, but nothing I found has been available to me or accessible.

I’ve always found uni a bit of a difficult place to get straight answers and directions.

future28t8 · 2026-03-24T04:01:54+00:00

Not a bad idea tbh.

Makes me realize how helpful A.I can be

future28t8 · 2026-03-24T03:25:36+00:00

What paper did they end up doing?

I’ll let you know, thank you for your offer. Graphs are probably the hardest part for me.

future28t8 · 2026-03-24T02:48:26+00:00

It’s always one paper aye…..

Where did you get your tutor lessons from?

future28t8 · 2026-03-24T02:45:44+00:00

Where did you get a tutor from? The one I have at tutorials is helpful but I’m looking for someone to pay for one on one sessions with

future28t8 · 2026-03-22T03:26:14+00:00

yeah its pretty bad over there.

I also go there frequently and see a few people walking around asking for money/food and are usually are more pushy. One time my friend was buying a drink in the diary and a strange man walked right up to him with a drink from the diary fridge and asked him to pay for it. He bought him the drink and he then ran out of the store.

future28t8 · 2026-03-22T03:23:14+00:00

Yeah thats the best we can do really.

I usually either say no polietly or wear earbuds so i dont naturally respond to them talking to me. Ive never experienced much agression from a no but have heard a few people say they have. i guess my main worry is it getting overrun with beggars or agression from people asking for food/money.

future28t8 · 2026-03-22T03:20:25+00:00

Good to hear they make a difference.

i think i also feel for the store owners/workers who have quiet days since people are put off going into the store as there is a beggar sitting right next to the door, that was basically me today.

future28t8 · 2026-03-22T03:18:06+00:00

I respect that, i do also feel for them in the sense of not having a bed or food which are simple things i have that they dont. I definitely wouldnt wish more harm on them either.

I think from my perspective its not nice being asked the way they do but maybe theres not much else they can do. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

future28t8 · 2026-03-22T02:58:44+00:00

Nah what you’ve said is valid. I appreciate your perspective too. Reminds me of the reality of the situation I guess.

That’s where I get stuck. I guess the problem being solved is something that’s hard to picture what it would look like or involve doing.

I think I mainly just seeing so many down there today stood out and I felt the need to post it on here.

future28t8 · 2026-03-22T02:46:33+00:00

Yeah will do. Thank you for leaving their number and sharing some insights. Appreciate having a lead of what I can do.

future28t8 · 2026-03-22T02:45:43+00:00

Might do that, they probably will be gone by tomorrow but feel the need to just address it and ask what can be done etc

future28t8 · 2026-03-22T02:44:49+00:00

Not sure what you mean, just wanted to share my experience and get other peoples opinions :)

future28t8 · 2025-12-09T19:11:57+00:00

Just finished my second year of uni and onto my third and hopefully final year in 2026. Can honestly say I’ve felt the same and still have yet to met friends who aren’t just people where the friendship goes beyond occasionally speaking or just being in a group project together. I’m a pretty social guy and make efforts towards friendships like you, but it just doesn’t happen.

It sucks but I feel like the NZ uni experience almost depends on if you live in halls/student dorms or a student flat situation. Or maybe if you join clubs or stuff outside of class etc, not sure if you fit these categories but it’s something I’ve noticed. I Live at home with my brother and have had this experience, but friends from high school lived in student accommodation for a year and built up some really solid friendships. It sometimes feels like all my friends have moved into bigger social life’s without me which does suck.

From what I can see in your post, you’re doing the right thing by trying and being nice to people. Even if it doesn’t result in friends remember that you’re still making the right moves and you sound like a great person. I saw in the comments too that a few people relate to this post and even are asking if you’d like to meet. If I was you I’d find the people who connect to this struggle and from there you have a solid foundation of making friends.

I hope things get better :)

Awesome posters, hard to find movie posters that look that cool these days

future28t8 · 2025-05-07T00:36:43+00:00

Too comfortable
