barbarabara 0 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 For those who went to college/uni (probably most here) - were you a hard working student or a complete dosser who never did any work and just about scraped through? My friends and I were discussing this the other night and it was interesting to talk about how we all went through college. I worked hard, but had a good play at the same time. One of my friends told me he never got up before 3pm ( ) and basically did no work until he really had to, and just about passed his degree. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Ah student days..... I was somewhere in the middle. Had a few wild periods, but did knuckle down to the work when I had to. BTW, I had a friend I shared a house with who usually got up at about 4pm, he would have thought 3 was early Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Excellent memories. I had an amazing 3 years at college, sad it ended. Played hard and worked fairly hard too for my degree. Link to post Share on other sites

gammaman 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Played pretty hard, worked a bit, relaxed a lot. Most of my friends were the same. That kinda made it easier when I had to get down to some serious studying. Link to post Share on other sites

veronica 2 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I knew a few.... mostly money troubles and lack of study giving them grief. A good balance of play and work and college is tops. I had a blast. Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 My first year in the real world after graduating was really depressing. I started a job, had to get up, had to limit my partying - and the job was just boring. I wondered what the hell I was doing and where my life was going. I wasn't prepared for it at all.

amandanism 0 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 at uni at the moment. work when i need to, party when im not working. most of my work is fairly interesting though, so it isnt that much of a burden to stop partying for (bar all my electives) most of my off-time from doing school work is going to see bands. which i want to do because of my program anyway.

woywoy 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 So what did you do KlingKlang? Manda, what are you studying? What do you want to be when you "grow up"? Link to post Share on other sites

What do you want to be when you "grow up"? the course is radio and television arts. im just midway through a year of radio broadcasting and audio theory which i enjoy. we do a bit of everything - journalism, broadcasting, technical stuff. i dont know what i want to do later on. i enjoy the course, but a part of me feels that the decision was made based on the fact that i wanted to go to university but nothing else appealed in the slightest. i really didnt enjoy high school and being forced to take subjects i had no interest in.

Davo 1 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 It was kind of a cross between the hard and soft sides. The soft involved partying, seeing bands/going to clubs, getting up late, missing lectures/tutes, smoking-up and deciding to go mountainbiking or couch surfing etc etc. The hard involved working as a dish-pig/painter etc to pay for the soft side/living costs, staying up all night to complete almost every paper I wrote and cramming for exams. A few things I tried to keep constant were necessary lectures/tutes, reading and research for papers. I worked a lot harder in my final year in order to get better grades, but all-in-all I did a lot of pissing about. Fun times but I enjoy my life more now. Link to post Share on other sites
HotMagma 0 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Like davo - college was a lot of fun and great to look back on, but I prefer life now. Link to post Share on other sites
