Uni Student Support Squad

Otherwise known as USSS! I'm back at uni this week, and I know some of you are too so let's commiserate over assignment deadlines, share studying tips and practice deep breathing together!

@N1ghtW1ng with the way my course is structured I'm going to be stuck part time for the next 2 years. There's an option to do my final semester full-time though if down the track I decide to. I think it'll work out okay 🙂

That really sucks about your campuses @lokifish, hopefully it's not too disturbing to your studies.

@Craycray17 I really can't think of other ways. I don't know how to go from general chatting to friends. It kind of sucks seeing people at uni with friends and there's just me alone.

@lokifish How frustrating that they're making you move campuses! I hope it goes okay. 

 

@N1ghtW1ng I very very much understand feeling isolated at uni when everybody else seems to have friends and you're by yourself 😞  Plus so much of the advice people give for making friends is aimed at people who already have no trouble socialising. I wondered maybe is there a group or club on your campus that you'd be interested in joining/feel comfortable trying out?

@lokifish that's so annoying, how long have you been at the current campus? It will be a bit of a change up, do you know if there is a call line that is dedicated to helping out students with this move?

@Craycray17 this is my second year. My degree is three years so I'll only have to transfer for the last 12 months but it's still so annoying. They're holding a forum for students with the faculty heads next week so hopefully we'll get some more answers then.

But them again, maybe not @lokifish, my friend in QLD starts next week too, in fact most unis do, except mine 😄

@N1ghtW1ng really? Most people I know at Victorian unis go back next week. I guess it just means we'll finish earlier than you 😛 enjoy your extra-long winter break!

N1ghtW1ngPosted 21-07-2016 09:01 PM
Or catch up on work you haven't done @lokifish 😛 Sucks that your moving away but it'll work! 🙂

lokifishPosted 22-07-2016 06:01 PM

Haha more like procrastinate on work I haven't done @N1ghtW1ng ðŸ˜› I'm sure it'll be fine in the end.

 

Is everyone else back at uni on Monday? Time to get organised for the semester!

Ouch, well it's pretty cool that you love it so much, that really makes it worth it @lokifish! What stream do you want to end up in?
Yeah look i pretty much ignore anyone who says uni students have it easy, try cramming 4 entire text books plus 'additional readings' in 12 weeks and assignments that are due up to a few days before your exams. Uni is designed to make us crazy!!!

@Craycray17 I'm not entirely sure right now but I'm thinking maybe cardiology. I'm on a respiratory ward with a high dependency unit at the moment though and I'm quite enjoying it there. I think I'd be happy in any acute setting 🙂 and you're right about uni being designed to make us crazy!

Wait, @lokifish what! Are you doing a trimester or something? Well, my tip for long times without holidays is to try have 1 day or 1 morning or so per week free and empty, it lets me stay on top of things when I'm xraY busy during the week 🙂

@Craycray17 Nah we do semesters, but the difference is that in nursing/medicine your semesters never actually end 😛 we can have placement all twelve months of the year (including summer break) and don't get paid a cent for it. So much for "uni students have it easy" hey? 😛 though despite the craziness of it I couldn't imagine studying anything else 🙂

Yay @N1ghtW1ng

Exam tom and haven't been feeling well either. Stressing out. But got just a bit over a week to go. Almost there

Whose idea was it to make honours students at my uni do a poster presentation on our thesis after having to hand in our thesis? I'm so tired of uni right now but I'm nearly there!

Craycray17Posted 29-05-2016 03:43 PM
Youve got this @N1ghtW1ng, I bet you're counting down hey!

@redhead that's a tough task, reflection. I find it silly that someone's reflection can be marked a grade to be honest! Are there specific questions that you need to answer? I find breaking assignments down into small chunks can help?
