    Just because someone drops out, doesn't mean they can't handle it! Perhaps it was just super boring or they decided on other plans but have to wait half a year to start on something else.

    I know for a fact through interviews made with those that dropped out. They pretty much got the question "Why?", and that's what most said.

    All I would ever want and need is a hug.

    A good portion of the higher education dropouts I knew could not handle the change in structure. It went from super teacher coddle mode to teachers really could care less if you fail or not mode. I found it refreshing personally.

    I agree with this tbh. Well not so much about the refreshing part, I'm pretty neutral to that.

    But yes, that's the way of uni.

    If you need somebody to prod you to do assigned work you deserve to fail. That is just my opinion of course.

    Someone on my team spent extra money on private tutors and failed. I think they deserved it too. You should be able to do it yourself.

    In my case it would be more like 10 hour week with the rest of the stuff being "required attendance" aka sleep-in-class to 60 hour weeks of "wtf im so tired but I cant go to sleep yet"

    And for me personally college was a shock because I never had to do school work ever before, and suddenly I had to. I had zero study skills ><

    Yeah. It really came as a shock. Normally after school I ticked out. In university. No way. Not possible.

    Either way I'm not gonna watch LotR to spite the universe so it's down to Spirited Away, Thor or Skyfall? I've watched them all before. Skyfall most recently but only once, Spirited Away most often and Thor second most recently but also just once.

    Woah, late dinner, Wass.

    It's Friday, Friday

    Hmmm, the clocks change on easter day this year, means there's no chance of me accidentally being late (or early) for work
