i guess that means no more bludging and less skyline time lol :(  

You dont know how wrong you are!! Some people find getting up at the crack of noon hard but not me! Uni life is good life.

One piece of advice that I've found thru experience is workout if the course is right for you early. Many of my friends went into courses because they wanted to have a particular title, they knew there was money at the end of it, or the course name sounded good. Eg a mates sister wanted to do Aviation coz "It sounds fun". Her problem was she hated physics and maths. She then wondered why she couldnt find the motivation to do the work and hence kept failing. Another friend started 2 uni degrees, a tafe course and dropped out of all 3. He is now doing Mech Eng and averaging 92% and aiming for 1st Class honours. Something to think about.

Anyways, Have Fun!

yeah i go to uni, just finished first year

i love it, so much fun to be had every single day!

i live on campus so its a lot more fun and means waking up 5 minutes b4 class and arriving ontime!

my tip, u can miss lectures every so often but yeah try not to miss any tutes! they are the things dat matter!!!

and yeah i did no work until the week b4 exams, only failed 2 subjects out of 8 all year

2 much :P i think

Compared to year 12 uni is sooo easy. Just be smart and do a little work and you'll pass everything. I hardly do any uni work, work at a bar 3 times a week and do an Arts/Mech eng double degree and havent failed anything yet in 3 years, not even come close.

And you can have mini SAU meets at uni, thats what we've done at monash. :D

il cya at melbourn dude, i just fell a year beghind... HA im drunk HA, cya there, ima gunnat take u to the pub and show u a girl i know by the name of quincy, and she swallows..................................

lol sounds good mate :devil: what course u doing?

Uni was fun.

Some work... but not much. Not compared to the real world anyway...

Enjoy it while you can :devil:

Engineering - E'Week Beer-lympics were a highlight.

You'll drink a lot.

Well your uni life is 10 times easier by not going to F*CKING RMIT IN THE CITY!!! THE SHITTEST UNI TO EVER GRACE THE FAIR LAND OF MELBOURNE!! ahhh..... So yeah. ...

I'm doing Bachelor of Design (Multimedia Systems) - Sounds swanky, it's shit. Basically i'm just using this post as an outlet for my uni frustration so i better bring it back on topic. As GTR-R34 said, grab yourself some friends if u don't already know anyone in the course. I was lucky/unlucky in a way in that i started my course with 2 guys from school who i'd been friends with for yonks. But doing a computer type course, trying to socialise with ppl is hard. Can't seem to find the time to leave their computers!!! :) Anyways, Melbourne def has more of a "campus" feel than RMIT institute for the retards. So i think socially you shouldn't have anything to worry about at Melb. And like the other said, don't worry about the work. Nothing compared to yr 12.

Oh.. also, this is uni so if one of your tutors/lecturers/whatever is shit, tell them they are shit. You're not going to get a detention. Half my people couldn't a) speak english B) teach c) both. It's very satisfying to tell teacher-type people exactly what you think about their inability to teach :D

So far for me, uni hasn't been anything special, and really, no great difference from school. And i guess i'm one of the few who won't look back on it as the "greatest time of their life"

cheers.

EDIT: I'm waiting for Smallville to d/l so i thought i'd make that post hella long. Oh.. and Kristin Kruek is HOT!! ;)

I think Uni goer's are bums and have no right to bitch.

Adz- " Look at the hollidays and time you get all this time off and the social life"

Uni goer - "Yeah but we get assignments and i spend all my time on them and blah stress blah exams blah blah"

Adz- "Bull Sh*t, You have no set wake up time on your LONG time off, you DONT have to drive to work every morning in peak hour traffic and you dont have to deal with customers every day so quit your f*cking bitching!" :D:)

Hehehe my 2c

PS - Oh yeah RMIT is the biggest hell hole waste of space in the UNIVERSE!!!!!

Hey, being a uni student myself i think i have to rebut your argument there adz.

Most uni students work as well, im working 1 full time job at the moment over summer plus my usual 15 hour a week casual job. Ive only had 2 weeks holiday, if u can count working 15 hours a week a holiday.

Also, having a fulltime job is pretty cruisy if u have one of those jobs where you just drop everything at 5pm and go home. Your weekend is yours, after work you never have homework, its pretty easy.

But i do agree that dealing with customers is worse than uni. Exspecially working at a resturant and having to explain to a pregnant lady why there is a little sharp piece of plastic in her caesar salad.

i rekon its so much easier walking into a job each day knowing what needs to be done just doing it then going home and FORGETTING about it all... like who cares if u had a **** customer for the day, big deal, what about if u got a **** assignment

BUT i rekon everything is as bad as each other, unis got its ups n downs, so does working, lifes a bitch, dig it!

Yeah ok goog point but then again I guess it all depends on what type of work you do hey. Oh and assignments dont bit your head off and hassel you on mobile on the weekends do they. Some people dont have the lessuire of "forgetting" about work when they go home because all that work you forgot about its there when u head back. But meh, Work can be good and bad, same as uni. I say they both suck, lets just party! :(

Waah Waah - uni is hard. Boo hoo - I have homework.

We all had to work summer jobs and then part-time semester jobs when at uni - you're not the first. Uni is a blast. You'll meet great people, drink heaps of beer, sleep with some great chicks - enjoy it!

Make the most of it now - the real world is not the 'leave at 5, never on weekends' utopia some make it out to be. Hell - I'm at work right now :(

And despite popular theory - I don't spend ALL my time whoring forums :)

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
