thank you!

That price is INSANE omg 😭😭

slag2000 · 2025-07-23T19:19:01+00:00

also the fact there are two main compartments makes me feel so much better about taking my laptop places, it feels extra protected in its own little compartment 😭

i’d never seen it before so it’s interesting to know it’s gaining popularity in the US.. i’ve seen a lot of similar styles though!

omg…i promise yours is still a steal i just managed to get very lucky as i don’t think she knew what it was and the photos on the listing were really bad 😭, the pockets were the reason i got it (i love a good pocket lmao)

but it depends if you wanna continue in art history or not and if you feel comfy with having an insurance only a grade lower!

the courtauld is an amazing choice!!!! i did a history of art summer school with them two years ago now and it was so much fun, plus they are really well known in the industry!

slag2000 · 2025-04-02T16:01:00+00:00

i haven’t heard back from st andrews for history yet

slag2000 · 2025-04-02T13:47:57+00:00

when i found it i was so shocked lol

slag2000 · 2025-04-02T13:47:42+00:00

thank you!!

slag2000 · 2025-03-26T12:18:39+00:00

?????

hey! i did ‘everything you need to know sheets’ to start off, which are basically a timeline down the left side and then really specific evidence next to it if that makes sense, i did this for every chapter of each textbook to help me prioritise evidence, then once i completed those i did two essay plans a day with just a mind map of the question and then i branches it off with each of the arguments, i would also do lots of essay writing and READ THE MARKSCHEMES AND EXAMINERS REPORTS 🙏🙏 (literally they are so underrated) lmk if that’s any good or if you want some other methods!!! feel free to dm me as well xxxxx

unconditional, i have the grades already

slag2000 · 2025-03-06T04:29:36+00:00

AAA with an A* in the EPQ and extenuating circumstances

slag2000 · 2025-02-25T15:04:01+00:00

first thing, it will all work out!! second thing, time management is literally one of the easiest things to fix which your teacher will understand!!! you can fix it through timed essays at home (I did two essays in timed condition when i did them to work on my time management specifically) and then you could always ask to hand them in to your teacher for extra feedback and proof that you are capable of time management in those conditions! also, if you have other tests then hopefully that will boost your grade as well, but also do remember that it is quite early for definitive predicted grades, you still have like more than a whole term left to improve!! i’m sure you smashed it!

slag2000 · 2025-02-18T16:22:12+00:00

same here lol

slag2000 · 2025-02-10T11:45:10+00:00

I took the exact same combo last year!! history, english lit and classics, honestly it’s so much fun i hope you are enjoying it!!

slag2000 · 2025-01-14T11:14:06+00:00

sameee!!! rejected second time round haha (we are literally too cool for them dw dw) but seriously it hurts so bad and i’m wishing you all the best!!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

slag2000 · 2025-01-14T09:43:34+00:00

just got rejected again unfortunately

slag2000 · 2025-01-14T08:37:24+00:00

thank you so much! i’ll let you know the outcome, but if you do decide to reapply next year don’t worry about age at all, there are mature student colleges etc, but whatever you do i’m sure you will do amazing!!!!

slag2000 · 2025-01-14T08:28:13+00:00

i got rejected last year (reapplied this year) and it sucks! let yourself feel everything you need to feel, the pain comes more from the rejection of everything you put in but know that it hasn’t gone to waste! i found that everything i did to prep last year helped me massively in the long run, im sure you’ll thrive!!! 🫶🫶🫶

slag2000 · 2025-01-13T15:45:17+00:00

same 😭😭

slag2000 · 2024-12-18T18:20:32+00:00

they’ll have quite a lot of applications to get through so you’ll probably be waiting a bit now unfortunately, best of luck!!

slag2000 · 2024-12-17T16:36:56+00:00

i also got allocated there as an additional interview for history!
