    Do offers next week really come out at 9 PM?

    I thought that I would want to check it right on 9pm last year. But on the day I was in the spa and couldn't really be bothered, so I waited until like 9.30pm. Accept things you cannot change. That is all that is left to do now - accept. There is nothing more you can send in, no more...

    Definition please

    I don't know the "definition" of these terms, but I can try to explain how I understand them. In politics there is this concept of "scale". The middle is sort of a balanced view and as you go down each end of the scale views get more extreme. The left side of the scale is liberal...

    Writing a novel

    I love to write but I have the problem of starting and never finishing. Also I can only really write successfully in pen. On the computer I go back and edit, and its so easy to just delete something, and then you never get anywhere. I know that when I edit it in the end I'll probably cut out at...

    Career Advice (2nd Year)

    Interestingly I do want to be a novelist when I'm older, even though it sounds silly. Its one of those things that everyone says they want to do. I do know that "novelist" is not really a graduate job that is going to support me straight up. Plus so far my novels are pretty crappy. I need to...

    Uni Holidays?

    Each uni is different so no one can give you specific dates. Generally mid semester is in early april, semester is in june/july, mid semester in september/october, then finish up November up until Feb/March. Its a pretty chilled lifestyle.

    Career Advice (2nd Year)

    I'm about to enter my second year of a BA and so far I am on track for a Sociology major. I've done Gender Studies, Anthroplogy, Poli Sci and Philosophy but do not wish to further pursue any of these subjects. Recently (like in the past month or so) I have grown somewhat uncomfortable with...

    5 Bedroom Apartment

    I'm an only child and I am good to live with (not just my opinion). Living in a house isn't about sharing - its about knowing your boundaries and taking care of yourself. Become your own responsibility.

    What are your final UAC preferences?

    It doesn't cost extra! Which is good, because it already costs too much in the first place. This is the way it works (I believe): "University A" has 100 spots in Course B. 500 people apply for course B and only 100 get accepted. The 100th person to get accepted's ATAR becomes the new cut...

    What are your final UAC preferences?

    Yes because four months to make up your mind wasn't enough - god forbid if you couldn't change your mind in the last 15 minutes.

    Final Round Offers!

    Why did you bump this...sooo old. I started reading and thinking, "late round offers, already, where are these people from?" and thinking I might be out of the loop again. But no. Just really old.

    late round offers

    Your preferences work your way down through the order. For example, if you do not meet the requirements for your first course they will then look at your second, then third etc. It doesn't disadvantage you if its third on the list of first, you will still be judged equally. You have nine...

    Blackhead reducing/removing products, or how do you rid of blackheads?

    Benzac is something you can buy in most chemists - you should start with the 5% and work your way up. Apparently its not good for your skin, and I noticed that when I started using it I got all dry and peely - I'd rather a pimple or two than this. From what I can gather Salicylic acid isn't...

    what to take to uni?

    Most of these things are quite optional. There are many uni days where I have just picked up my key (took it of key ring), debit card, 1 piece of folded A4 lined paper, iPod and pen, stuck everything in my pocket and walked to uni. More than that is usually best. Bobet - what about...

    5 Bedroom Apartment

    I haven't shared with university apartments but I've been sharing with the general population for the last few years. Even when you meet people for the first time you never know if you are going to like them after living with them for a week, or if they are going to turn out to be total...

    What was ur first day @ Uni like, Uni Students?

    Yeah, he remembers the whole night but is too embarrassed to tell us :music:

    What was ur first day @ Uni like, Uni Students?

    It was okay - you sort of get into it gently. At first you have only got lectures, and if you have a map you are pretty much set. Everyone is a bit shy though. The week after tutes usually start but by then you already know your lectures, so its only one new thing. Everyone is pretty...

    Travelling to uni..

    I hate it when you go through a tunnel and your internet drops out. I don't know what the problem with trains is - I always meet nice people on trains.

    Yes, its now time for university jerseys.

    what to take to uni?

    Green post-its or green highlighters? Green is my favourite colour but I prefer red things.

    How much money to bring?

    Just bring a debit card and 20 bucks. Thats what I have on me like 90% of the time no matter where I am. Its not like universities are like some alternate universe where food is priced radically differently. Its not like cans of coke are $5 or pies are $18.50. Sometimes I wonder how...
