Off to College

Post by Uggy »

Hey Gurus,

So I've had an unconventional life thus far, I've never stayed in one school for long because my family likes to roam, I came to England from Colorado to finish my schooling. The last two years of high school are separate here, and they're called sixth form, and its optional. I did the two years and i took film studies, modern history and English literature. I got a B in Film and D's in the other two. I just finished a gap year, which is just a year long break between high school and college, I got a job and I feel like I function better in British society now than I used to. English people are often very emotionally deceptive. They offer you things you aren't supposed to accept and apologize to you when it's insanely unnecessary, and if you don't know some unwritten rules you run the risk of being seen as rude. After a long painful tiff with my friends who I've been hanging out with all through Sixth Form I think I understand how to act in British society a little better. My amazing girlfriend helped me a lot with this. Anyway, I applied to 5 British Film Schools and got accepted to three solely on my B in Film and my personal statement, which was lucky. I went on tours and chose my school, where I will be taking either Film/Drama or Film/Creative Writing. My girlfriend is doing Zoological Conservation in Cornwall which is a 4 hour train ride away from my London uni. We decided that we wouldn't break up, but we would shag other people, because we're both slags and we would die of suspicion if we tried long distance, its uni and there's gonna be sex. I start school in September, and every month closer I get I start to get more worried, and it's not even over anything specific, it's just that this is a huge change for me, I'm a really social person and all of my friends are gonna be away from me for three years, I just hope that I'm prepared for whatever happens or whoever I meet in uni. I also really hope i can find someone who likes herb, I'm leaving behind all my smoking buddies.

I wish my cat would get off of me.

But yeah so that's my situation, I know I haven't exactly stated any problems or asked any questions, but I really just wanna know if I'm doing everything right, sometimes it's hard not to feel like a fraud.

Thanks for your help!

Uggy

P.S.- Why isn't there a Books section on the forums with movies and games? Reading Phillip K. Dick baked is a real journey.

Nice thread uggy,seems like you have a great time ahead of you.


And as you and your girlfriend both seem to be on the same level regarding your relationship I wouldn't worry about that too much either, love is a peculiar and unpredictable thing so to be honest I wouldn't dwell too long on the fact that she's your girlfriend now but might not be after three years of uni.

As for finding new buddies, shouldn't be a problem, everybody's new there and you can pick out the stoners from miles away (well, I can anyway :p) so finding new tokers won't be a problem.

Just go with the flow dude!


and about the books : check out the 'literal lines' section here
Computer games don't affect kids. I mean, if Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we would all be running around darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music.

Yeah I freaked out about my relationship for a while, then realised I needed to be a lil more Buddhist about it. Yeah, I'm pretty good at pickin out the tokers, the other day I met this really cool Canadian guy from Victoria BC, its great cuz we can get baked and talk about how fuckin weird british tv is to us. Thanks for the advice flow, and the link!

dude uni is the bomb, dont worry so much, the only thing u gotta worry about, n this is to ur own opinion would be about ur girlfriend, mayb its just me but i aint a open relationship kinda guy, for me its one on one or none at all.
but other than that dnt worry bout the uni, just take enough with you to last a month few weeks (just incase it takes u a while to find a good dealer) and host parties in ur student living house, just printout loads of fliers and give em out on the way to ur lectures, especialy in freshers week.
u will make friends in no time, n if u got a party n ur toking up somewhere, someones gna smell it and go peeking and wha-bam u've just made urself a new friend, haha
oh yea, beware of freshers flu! and remember to take a med kit with u

welcome mate...

I have enjoyed reading your posts so far... you are articulate and seem to be wise beyond your years... the roaming perhaps?
I think you are doing all the right things... but who knows until you go through them.
i look forward to seeing your work for creative writing etc.

and there are plenty of section below...keep scrolling
