im fine with it though man, i dont really feel uni was 'for me' - its been fun and met alot of sick people and its been the best few years, but career wise i dont think it was for me
i get shit done when i have to, and im under pressure. at uni its just too easy to fuck about and live easily of loans. when i leave my parents won't help me at all and they've already said i only got like 6-12 months that i can live with them after i finish (hopefully i wont even have to go back for a week)
out of my group of friends the 2 most successful never went uni and just started their own business... so its not like you have to go uni to do well
i think im more destined for that sort of route. can't really picture me working a serious 9-5 anyway

5% aint a lot, they should of looked in their tnuc hearts and gave me the first just for having the best first name.
Actually on one of my modules I got a distinction from the lecturer, but then when it got sent to be marked by the external examiners they downgraded it to a merit. That probably cost me my 1st.

65% is way off from a first. My sister got 69.4% and they didn't round it up to a first.

Thats even harsher. They must have quotas on how many 1st' they can give out

Nothing wrong with a 2:2, trust.

They don't exactly. It's to do with your % grading;
>70% = 1st
60-70% = 2:1
60-50% = 2:2
<50% = 3rd

not gonna get a 5 day comedown hungover combo
like agent said, it's a problem only if you're a regular user. even hungovers aren't that bad unless you drink daily or smth
