Fuck yes mush And I’ve only revised 6 poems and I can’t be arsed to revise anymore, going to watch like 3 videos of AIC and no notes because I cannot be arsed for that also. Not too stressed though because all 3 of the courses I want to get into does not require English Lit but I’m still putting an effort into it drives by the fact that after tomorrow, I will never have to learn about fuckass poems or Inspector calls, already got Macbeth and ACC out the way too that was a whiff a fresh air.

English lang on Thursday I will be locked in, although it is much more easier for me than English lit as it is just learning about language techniques and devices to pass.

I went to college for 2 years afterwards felt like a week and so forgettable.

After that I still talk to basically everyone and I notice people have also stuck in the same friend groups on socials aswell. Since who else are you gonna really meet? Maybe people from work but usually you stay as work mates.

Life gets way better in my opinion after secondary but there are some times which I do miss sitting in the back of science fucking about.

People overexaggerate GCSE's a lot. As long as your grades are high enough for the college/sixth form you want to get in to then it's fine. After that for Uni etc, it doesn't matter. (I didn't go uni because of the debt, but would definitely go for the uni dorm life.)

secondary school is just a preliminary exam, essentially a view of what is to come in the future
the rest of your life is the final exam

I'm planning to become a private tattoo artist because I think tattoos are beautiful and it makes a shit ton of money.

If you do plan on going college, after that you'll have 1-2 years where your friends are just working the normal jobs to make money. I'm in that transition in life afterwards where your friends start getting in to serious jobs and we went from going out to the pub every weekend to maybe once a month, talking less, people actually start getting into relationships which last and are serious.

Summers coming up though and we got a lads holiday to italy. So pints and packet is getting in mush.

yr 8-10 was the best for me but sixth form was like a 4 hour commute each day as I live in a rural area and I want to go to a place which did A-levels instead of Btecs/T levels, but uni mogs both. The sixth form I went to was a very competitive and upper class state school was better than private schools in the area and always felt very different compared to my peers who were from the city still kind of feel it in uni but Im seen as exotic as Im not from london or any cities

By normal jobs, do you mean just part time jobs while they’re at Uni or what exactly?

Teck, hope you enjoy your Italy trip with your mates man, make sure to get drunk and high every night and consume bare nicotine and/or tobbaco. The beaches in Italy I heard are very nice too, so if you going there then it’s just going to be extra low cortisol.

Plumbing course for a year then hopefully get an apprenticeship for the next year. I’d want one in carpentry or electrician, but if I’m doing a plumbing course for a year I may aswell get one in that

I’m in my last year of uni, I’ll graduate soon but life during secondary was fucking hell. I hated it so much not because I was bullied but because everyone had the same faggotity roadman personality between 2016-2019.

I was quite a passive kid and minded my own business so not much excitement. Boring & Remedial.

But life kind of improved after my horror years during lockdown.

Basically, regardless of russel group or non russel group a lot of fuckery goes on in uni.

This is common knowledge I’m sure you know this but DONT get accommodation if you live close and also rinse out your SFE as much as you can for laptop, supplies etc. you’ll prolly get 3-7k range if your lucky.

Dating in uni is a horrible idea don’t bother, just lock in and fuck random girls.
Also don’t drive to uni if your in london.

Avoid societies with blacks and browns but yeahh.

Believe it or not it’s still like that, the numbers have chopped in half thankfully but in my year, there is still a fat fuck of “hardmans” Although some are genuinely nice to speak to if they’re alone, I’ve spoken to 4 who are quite chill without their friends, mostly about life and TV shows, mind you were opposite ends on the school caste system. I do see good in 90% of people.

I think I am you from the past then, 5’3 as of right now, gonna get a job immediately after graduation and work my ass off in the summer holidays, gonna start roids peptides and other drugs to maximize my development and finally start gymcelling.

Yeah I used to be 5’3 back then too, I had constitutional delay and growth of puberty and got put on testosterone injections by my endocrinologist for 6 months (august - february iirc). I wasnt on any HGH but I had a large growth spurt during this time period and I got more respect from others since I actually looked developed

Getting a job during the summer will be good, I regret not getting one then because it was hard as fuck trying to find one in y12 since i had little experience

I just about reached 6ft during the winter, honestly insane how huge the growth spurt was considering i used to be a manlet for most of my life

I met up with my friends from college during the easter break and they mentioned how much taller i got which was lifefuel

Also yeah id recommend getting into contact with an endocrinologist shit could honestly save you
