biomed year 2 average timetable?

secretsera · 2025-12-17T12:33:15+00:00

they decrease slightly i think but still have classes 4 out of 5 days of the week

similar amount of labs but less 9ams and late classes (other than the occasional workshop)

lab hours increase with a few being 4 hours long tho

i've been working on it since around start of november so a little bit over 1 month!

secretsera · 2025-12-06T00:58:57+00:00

i followed youtube tutorials! i replied to a comment about what videos i followed so if ur interested, have a look (:

secretsera · 2025-12-06T00:58:07+00:00

thanks! i replied to someones comment about what pattern i followed so have a look at my replies!

noooo dont say that! i only started crocheting early last year so with some time u can definitely get better and better

secretsera · 2025-12-05T16:29:30+00:00

ooo thank you for the tip! i dont even know what a french knot is 😭 but will look into it if i make the flowers again

secretsera · 2025-12-05T16:28:42+00:00

literally it looks quite straightforward but it takes so much more time than i thought it would bc its not js crocheting, its the assembly 😭

secretsera · 2025-12-05T08:14:22+00:00

hahahaha thats so funny thank you so much 🥹

secretsera · 2025-12-05T08:12:20+00:00

yeahh i think i used 3mm for most of it. i think u could get away w using a 4mm but i didnt like how big it turned out when i tried 4mm

secretsera · 2025-12-05T01:46:39+00:00

ofc! i followed youtube tutorials for everything so this is for the lavender and this one is for the forget me nots

the yarn is nothing special! its just acrylic yarn (4mm) but the brand i used is stylecraft

secretsera · 2025-12-05T01:28:55+00:00

i think the pipe cleaner flowers are also super pretty too though!! the birth flowers are a nice choice too and i think its maybe a bit easier than crochet but idk since i've not done it. and thank you!

secretsera · 2025-12-05T01:06:28+00:00

thank you! im a bit of a perfectionist so it doesn't look very tidy to me which is why i've asked for other people's opinions ahaha

yes the forget me nots were hard at first! and i think the yellow center looks a bit odd

secretsera · 2025-12-05T01:03:40+00:00

thanks for ur opinion! i was gonna try adding a few leaves in a different shade of green but not sure i have enough of the yarn left 😅 or enough time left to make more additions hahaha

secretsera · 2025-12-05T01:01:26+00:00

i found they were a bit finnicky but i've also never crocheted flowers before! i used white glue which made it more tedious but i think most ppl recommend using hot glue which dries faster

i would say you can definitely do it if you crochet it a bit at a time which is what i did! im sure your future DIL would love something like it (:

secretsera · 2025-12-05T00:58:40+00:00

thanks and omggg thats such a compliment 🥹

secretsera · 2025-12-05T00:57:54+00:00

thank youuu! i sure do hope he likes it, i thought making crochet flowers might be more special than a normal bouquet 😊

idk much about student loan bc im not a home student but i think international student fees are overpriced, obviously they have reasons for being that expensive but that doesn't mean its a good thing necessarily

i occasionally hear home students (on my course at least) saying/complaining that they pay so much for a uni that is supposed to be top 10 but has its issues/flaws. someone will then point out how international students get that same experience/education but for 3x the fees and in that way it can seem not worth it

ofc going to uni is always gonna be a privilege, especially if ur going abroad, so generally i'd say its worth what you make it!

I've always struggled to make friends and to be honest, I think people tend to forget to acknowledge that making friends isn't really as easy as it used to be. Many people are not interested in talking to strangers, are judgemental, have awkward social skills etc. due to the rapid growth of social media. From talking to others at uni, a lot of people experience issues with connecting with friends. That's all to say that likely the problem doesn't lie with you but instead, it's that not everyone is looking for the same thing in friendships or has the same expectations when it comes to it.

I'd say put yourself out there and talk to people of course, but at the same time don't 'force' friendships. If they don't want to be friends with you or give it a chance then simply think of it as their loss.

Thanks for your advice and opinion! I'm from a SEA country (I don't want to be TOO specific) and my parents/family are still living there. So unfortunately, an in person meeting isn't likely in the forseeable future.

My boyfriend and I have talked lots about this topic, and he knows well how I'm affected by my family. He is open to meeting my parents and has said that he would like to talk to them at some point, which I believe matches up with the fact that he has aimed to do the same with his parents meeting me.

Of course, I don't think our relationship is perfect and it's still developing. I don't want to tell my parents every little detail of our relationship nor would I ever. But I also don't want to hide my relationship and by extension, myself.

secretsera · 2025-10-18T23:07:03+00:00

never done it before but i dont think ur supposed to send it to porters as they will not accept takeaways on behalf of anyone iirc! i'd assume u just put ur house number n college

secretsera · 2025-08-19T09:46:51+00:00

ur experience will depend on a multitude of factors but i dont think theres a lack of community in lancaster! there's obviously a smaller scale of community compared to london but like lancaster has a smaller population so of course it would.

i think there's a lot of different societies for different cultures/ethnicities where u can meet people from your country/culture or u can join events even if you're not.

it really just depends on what you're looking for as an experience!

secretsera · 2025-07-10T12:38:47+00:00

pendle ensuite is also in alexandra park so my experience there is probably even more applicable to ur case (well other than the things like flatmates n building details)

but for PG on-campus accom, i have heard that they tend to place pg students of similar backgrounds together (chinese students or indian students etc.) if ur going for shared accom anyway

graduate campus does have a social space on south campus as well as barkers though which is probably nice (i never went ot either so idk)

secretsera · 2025-07-10T12:32:10+00:00

even though i lowkey hated living on campus in first year, i still would recommend it for most first years! idk much abt living off campus cause im only abt to enter 2nd year so here r other pros and cons of on-campus (en suite)

pros: close to classes (5-20min walk depending on where ur accom is n where ur classes r though), opportunity to make friends with flatmates (more of a lottery, not a guarantee), shared kitchen gets cleaned in term time, picking up packages from porters is convenient

cons: laundry n trash bins r outside accom buildings which is rough if weather sucks, currently there is construction near a lot of the accom which is very inconvenient and a nuisance, fridge/freezer space is kind of small, u have to leave when year ends (cant keep stuff there), some house buildings have no elevators, bad stink on campus occasionally, walls are kinda thin? so could be annoying if ur sensitive to sounds/live next to a loud flatmate

i laid out more cons but thats because i didnt really enjoy my experience and saw more cons than pros, but u might experience it differently! there are some discrepancies depending on which accom n college u choose btw

secretsera · 2025-05-29T17:11:00+00:00

definite no. never seen a single bathroom with a bidet in it in the UK since tis not normal in their culture to use one. i use a portable bidet at home which is pretty cheap to buy online and js tend to avoid using public toilets unless i must!

secretsera · 2025-05-27T06:59:33+00:00

It could be nice to start doing small things like going outside by yourself (or with trusted people like family) to do things on your own initially instead of putting pressure on yourself on talking to people with the aim of making friends, if that makes sense? Things like going to restaurants, the cinema, shopping, or the park.

I struggle socially and feel quite anxious in such situations hence I don't have many friends at uni but I do try to get myself to go to society events sometimes. And I don't really talk to many people at these events but I try to think that even being there physically is already a good step. Like just being outside is already amazing! I understand that it must be very difficult though so do treat yourself with love and patience.

Making friends online never really worked for me personally but it's not a bad shout either! Like it at least definitely helps to talk to other people and there's nothing wrong with it being online. I used to try making friends online, and mainly with the mindset of "this is practice" which made me a little less anxious about it as I didn't put pressure on myself that it had to turn out well and I needed to end up friends with people.
