I go University this year, so I won't be going back to conventional schools.

Try getting a job while you have a young child at school. Not only do you not get the holidays off but somehow you still need to be at home to look after your child.

That's why I plan on becoming an Internet millionaire. It'll make things so much easier. I just need to find a team of writers (there's only so much I can write and I need to cover about 5 semi related blogs) andneed to find a partner that's a good developer. Then I need to work hard for a couple of years.

Cant remember it was sooooooo long ago when I left

No college? Straight from school to uni?

Anyway leaving school was up and down for me. You miss your old friends but not the douche's. Not until you've left school until you realise how easy it was. Uni's a lot more relaxed and depends entirely on yourself to be organised/dedicated to do the work.

What are you studying by the way? And where?

^^ Wait till you finish you start your first year of uni... and then wait till you finish it.
The year is around 9 months long with 2 x 1 month breaks (xmas n easter). Plus freshers week, plus the fact it's your first year so it's loadsa fun.

Then you get 3 months off over summer!

*Cough* I mean...being a student is hard, pity me

Only downside, halls of residence rules and have to leave your tanks behind.

I was in Sixth Form, I don't know if you're American but if you are not then you will know what this is. All my friends have left and have gone their separate ways as I had to spend an extra year at School.

I'm studying Civil Engineering at Nottingham Trent pending on my results in August.

Haha yeah, I have a few friends in University and this is exactly what they've said. I've pretty much got out of the hobby anyway, so this will be fine.



I finally left today and had a smile on my face, not because I had a bad time but it has been such a long time at the school and it feels good to finally be finished!...

I've already got a B in business, which is awesome. Now I only need to get a B in Mathematics.

Just because I'm from Essex doesn't mean I'm a dad already, haha!

My boyfriend did an extra year cause at the end of his first year he decided he wanted to do a maths A level instead of continuing his psychology AS up to A level.

And his mate (our house mate when we move back to uni) also ended up doing an extra year cause he needed 3 A's to do the economics course.

I finished on time but then pulled out of York Uni cause it was so quiet! So all in all we all ended up in the same year at the same uni which was funny lol. All's well that ends well

Can't wait too move into the new house... I see many messy house parties ahead.

Good luck

Its 16 yrs since I left 6th form but I remember feeling a slight relief but also trepidationat going to Uni

Uni is great its nice to have the freedom of fedning for yourself and its great learning for growing up. Mates of mine who never went to uni in my opinion missed out on the experience from moving from local area meeting different people etc

jeez i finished in mid-june! when do you start?

I finished my exams mid-june and I should of left, but I did another course which was purely coursework so didn't finish till late.

You wont be too far from me then, its not as as bad 'up north', the thing I remember about uni is how mixed the people are on the course. You make friends with people you might not normally have approached and generally everyone gets on well, I don't think there was one person I didn't get on with out of a class of 67 (unless someone has taken a book you needed ). Probably because everyone at uni wants to be at uni, its not forced upon them like school was.

I stayed at home for uni....do I regret it? Yes and no, I would say I didn't have the 'full experience' (I still did pretty much everything else), but I'm soooo glad I haven't got the debt some of my friends have. That would really cripple me, I'm one of those people that hates owing anything.

Rereading that back it sounds like I left uni years ago, but I only a month ago lol, haven't even had the graduation ceremony yet . I just got my first letter this morning with (BA) after my name, yay! ego boost!.

Enough about me though, Uni's a blast and yes its fun, but its also hard work. What do you want to be when you graduate? I'm guessing somehting to do with engineering?
