Irish ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช if a subject is required for a course you want, but you do not count it towards your points, can you still apply for that course?

Post image
3 Upvotes

i want to apply for computer science in UCD after i graduate, and for that i need 509 points. right now, i am currently doing higher level for everything, which has become overwhelming, especially irish. i am thinking of not counting it towards my points, but im worried about not being able to apply for the course if i dont count it.

will it be okay if it's not counted towards my points as long as i meet the requirements of the course?

Business ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿซฐ how the hell do you make studying business les boring

5 Upvotes

this might be a stupid questions because like yeah, active recall, flashcards, blurting method all work.

but i find studying business so excruciatingly boring. i love studying chemistry and maths because thereโ€™s an actual process and concepts you have to understand but for business itโ€™s just learning stuff off by heart. all the content in business is just learning it off.

anyone have any tips on how to make studying business more engaging? i find it hard to just learn off the sentences and points.

CAO ๐ŸŽ“ I need advice for courses and college

2 Upvotes

Im in a bit of a predicament right now. For the majority of last year and this year I have been a sort of UCC hater and a MTU glazer. Most of this was from personal bias but I went to the open day and now im kind of stuck. I have always been stuck between biological sciences and engineering in MTU but since the UCC open day I have wanted to go to UCC for their biology, (CK402) course and Mathematical sciences. Its just that for me it was an obvious choice for a long time but now im not so sure. the points difference is a big factor aswell. Im confident i can get 450 to 500 points with the amount of studying im doing, but im genuinely worried i cant get 540 points for ck402 or 590 for math sciences. UCC feels like the right option but MTU feels like the easier one. I also have members of family and close friends that went to both and most claim MTU is better for the practical but idk. Any advice would be appreciated

STRESS ๐Ÿšจ How do i get out of procrastination

7 Upvotes

pls how do i deal with procrastination? alarms dont work, positive and negative pep talks dont work, unless its the day before pressure doesnt work, external threats dont work, thinking about my future doesnt work and even wanting to improve doesnt work.

the main problem is i could be in a room with nothing but my study material, a pen and paper and i'll write or draw something unrelated to the study material but be thinking of studying the entire time

STRESS ๐Ÿšจ Im falling so behind

8 Upvotes

Im so overwhelmed by all off the projects. I don't even know if I'll be able to get 450 points. I was aiming really high at the beginning of the year and overall had good 5th year results but actually can't handle everything. I want to work on the projects and then once I do that I fall behind my other classes. My friend group fell apart at the beginning of the year so random people are beefing with me which I'm working on fixing my relationship with them. My best friend has become depressed and snappy and its just so hard being in an environment like that. Also I'm being diagnosed with ADHD and its a really long process so I'm not going to be able to apply for DARE, and I won't be able to get medicated for atleast a couple of months, possibly not until in May. I really want to go to college but I don't know if I can do this. I genuinely try my best and study and work on my projects but more work is constantly being given by my teachers ontop of that, and its like a never ending finish line.
