University Life - your perspective?


Recommended Posts

hmm well i went to a "welcome day" at melbourne uni today and i have to say its starting to sink in that i will actually be going to uni in only one month's time. i guess that means no more bludging and less skyline time lol :D

ok, so i'm less of a noob when i start uni, i'd like to hear your perspective on uni - advice, tips and tricks and all the stuff you got up to so i know what uni is all about! :)

oh and i while on the tram i saw a red r33 with sau stickers and a drive right sticker above the exhaust driving down swanston st...who was it?

Cheers,

Greg

uni is a bludge, kick your feet up n enjoy the ride... just make sure you get ur assignments and assesment tasks done and you'll be fine.

No one's there to give you a rap on the knuckles when u slack off, so keep yourself in check. Other than that get used to bumming about and bar nights full of drunken sex :)

What course are you doing?

If u r doing engineering then u can bludge 90% of the time coz the only thing that matters are middle and end of year exams which are worth 85% each.

Its sux tho coz u sleep in dont show up for lectures and only a few tutorials and then its exam time and u r farked coz u know shit!!

Lecturers dont gives a fark about u coz they get paid big $$'s and if u fail u just end up paying back more hecs when you get a job.

Enjoy

well im at Melbourne Uni mate, i finished my first year and yeh not really coz i have failed alot of subjects..Due too having fun too much, playing soccer everyday, and if the weather is nice driving down to the beach side, yeh uni is pretty fun... but can be stressing at times(couple of days left for exams), the rest its farken alright, but it is bad if ya got no friends, so u need to make friends if ya wanna enjoy it...:)

Greg, take the advice of one who has just done what you're about to embark on. I just finished my B.Com from Melbourne Uni, and you think first year's a bludge, and it is, but don't slack off too far, second year's really important because it's what's assessed for vac work and for grad recruitment too. (sorry to sound like the nagging parent, but I'd hate to see people got through the crap I've just been through with looking for work and stuff)

Just make sure you do your tute work, it's piss easy in first year, just pay attention during QM1, 1A and 1B, (it's a big ask coz it's a shit boring subject), plenty of time for skylining. And for god's sake, get laid during O-week, there's plenty of college chicks missing home and need somebody to comfort them (god I was an asshoel then! lol), but it's what it's allllll about!!!!!:) But go out to the parties and stuff, and as many balls as you can get to (really good place to pick up)

But don't slack off too much, I'm in the shit coz I slacked off and didn't get a grad spot, luckily I just started a new job today so I'm one step closer to buying my 'line ;)

Okay, there's my pearls of wisdom, just send me a PM if you want more tips on surviving your B.Com :wassup:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
