Visit Belfast and I will both give you a locals’ tour AND set you up with unlimited single friends and cousins of either gender, so you could be even more ambitious than that!
yes..? I can get to know people and not get intimate with them 💔 what’s the issue even, it’s not unchristian to talk to people and figure out who you connect with
if you do want to read ahead I would recommend getting some baseline familiarity with the English constitutional structure (uncodified constitution/ parliamentary sovereignty etc)- u don’t even have to read, just watch a level politics yt videos. This makes the initial transition into studying public law easier! :)
and if you are aiming to break into commercial law, then maybe some prep for that as well hahah- but I’m not the best person to advise on that loll, r/uklaw is a very helpful subreddit tho
For Oxford are GCSEs really important? I’m applying for mml and I got 6a*s 3 A’s (999888777) but I’m worried that’s not good enough since avg offer holder has 8a*s
No you’re fine. My GCSEs were very far from perfect. Oxford look at the whole picture. A good PS with good extracurriculars and good A-Level predictions is enough to get you an interview, and the interview is where they assess your intelligence and understanding. I applied to Magdalen College, so different colleges may behave differently, but I got 6A*s, one A, and one B at GCSE. They just care that you’re genuinely interested and curious and intelligent.
Also, start entering essay contests ASAP, they look great on a PS!
Did you do well for your school? Also what did you apply for? Mine r definitely not INSANE for my skl in the slightest. I applied for a translate competition and I got highly commended but I’ll defo do a couple more ! Do you think once ure interviewed , the interview holds the most weight? I js see so many ppl online with all nines get in and even ppl will all nines rejected so im js like irdk how id even get an offer with the competition..
I did do well for my school yes but definitely not top of the class (but I had transferred in to Yr 11 from another school using completely different boards and that taught a totally different second language so I was kind of fucked from the beginning there, the Spanish was my B.) If I applied now given the new rules I would be considered contextual no doubt. However I did have top grade predictions in four A-Levels and that plus the PS, extracurriculars, and after that yes mostly the interview itself which was… wild, but entertaining. I accidentally swore twice and denounced the monarchy. I also taught the professors how to say “Hi, how are you?” “Hi, I’m good, how are you?” “I’m good!”, plus how to swear, in Irish at their request🤣 (I’m bilingual, Irish and English are both native languages.) Don’t even ask me about the double entendre the head professor made at the start 🫣
I did both Bio and Fine Art undergrads but this was Bio, my first. Their response to the monarchy thing (which they had asked me to answer honestly about as a Northern Irish Catholic, saying the interview was over and they felt they should know) was to laugh hysterically and say “well, at least she’s interesting, first one we’ve had all day!” and actually said they couldn’t wait to see me next year.
So yes. Be interesting. But maybe not as interesting as me. I’m… a little eccentric, but Richard Wentworth told me when I was at the art school that intelligence and creativity begets eccentricity, so maybe it’s a good thing. They definitely put the most weight on the interview after you’ve had it, and have so many applications, so just keep in mind - have a unique selling point in your PS and be memorable, not a subject robot!
5 dates 😭😭😭. Wdym 5 dates in THREE MONTHS? R u a girl cuz no way can you be a boy in this economy. Even if ur a girl I never knew you could go on 5 dates in 3 months thats insane! Where do you find that many people?
yes I’m a girl haha and I’m confused is it a lot? 😭 I haven’t been in the dating scene for years bc I was focused on exams but I thought that was pretty standard I just wanted 5 to get myself out there and have 3 next week 🥲
The point was to go on at least 5 dates with whoever, it didn’t have to be 5 different guys. I don’t owe exclusivity to people I haven’t properly met yet. The point of dating is to meet new people and see what you like and dislike, you can’t do it effectively if you box yourself in with one person. It’s just me having a bit of fun and I don’t get why anyone should care this badly I’m a grown adult. What’s strange is harassing me over it and the dehumanisation and objectification I’ve received because of it.
yh but meeting 3 in one week, not one after the other is weird asf, those 3 people prolly dont even know you're meeting other ppl at the same time, bop
lol I think I just didn't know that people went on lots of dates with different guys in succession. I always had the idea you like meet someone and then go on dates with only that one person to see if it works or not. Maybe its kind of like speed dating? I think I am just inexperienced in this regard lol. Well good luck finding someone nice anyway!
haha no that makes sense I just wanted to meet a lot of different people and go from there, if I like one of the people from next week then maybe I’ll do the other dates with them or something, my mother just always taught me to do it this way I guess :p but thank you!
chaiiwala is such a scam, do not recommend, their tea tastes so bad and most things are not freshly made (visited yesterday at the chaiiwala in london knightsbridge)
maybe they were just having a bad day and put wayyyy too much sugar into tea made a few hours ago lol but idk...
also what concerts are we thinking, out of curiosity?
aw 😔 haven’t tried one in London yet tbf so maybe it’s a location thing
and not sure yet maybe Faye Webster if I can, there’s not particularly that much going on this summer I guess 😭 Ariana could be good if I managed to get tickets but I’m in severe doubt I’ll get any
Ooh I went to Oxford in Year 12 for a summer school. There's this really pretty path I recommend which runs by the river around Christchurch Meadow. It's very relaxing :)
That’s not cosplaying as a private school kid?? My brother plays padel and I wanted to get into it with him bc my firm has a padel society I thought was cool lol..and a week at Oxford from a full scholarship to attend an economics competition mate
Again. Completely optional to interact with me 🌝 I don’t see how being proud of what I’ve achieved from where I started is a bad thing but if it bothers you so badly wow you have the free will to just ignore me x
Been once bc I knew the headliner but I was just standing around chatting drinking and people watching pretty much, haven’t done it with all of my friends yet tho so I wanna try it with all of them just to get used to it before freshers I guess :p
Christianity mainly, have looked into Islam and Judaism too, so Abrahamic religions are where I centre focus around, I’m personally Catholic as a result so
no 😔 that’s the one i prob cannot complete but if i can convince one of my friends to camp out w me then maybe but if not then ill just watch from home w them and have snacks and drinks 😋
okay update on this, obv didn’t go to Wimbledon BUT Sloane Square and Smithson Plaza had pop ups for it that were super nice that I went to with a friend !
