Uni life crisis xD

[Greatness]

Wtf my impressions of uni seems completely out of whack now that we're well underway... I thought it was suppose to be all fun and games But it really isnt!... I mean personally, i have to travel 3-4 hours everyday and leave home at 8 and get home 5, one night i get home at 7:30ish :/ It really sucks, well the travel aspect does. That's one of the downsides, but i'm really enjoying my time at uni tho meeting new people, catching up with friends, the really chill nature etc. My main concern is that they expect us to do so much outside of class... lol maybe im just a slack piece of shit but i really didnt expect there to be such a big workload. By the time i get home on weeknights i just cbf with anything all i want to do is chill and when i have free time at uni it's usually wasted doing other things xD
I dont get how other's balance out their time so well! In the first couple of weeks i just did what i had i.e. stuff for tutorials that actually count Now im trying to catch up with 2 assignments due in the coming days that ive only just started o0 Being behind sucks badly cos there is always something around the corner...
Does everyone study throughout the semester? Or only the people who really need/want to do well?
Like i want to do well (HDs FTW ) but i want to have fun at the same time - which atm is a bit of a struggle.
Anyone else in struggle town as well? lol

/End rant...

You've basically said all I ever needed to. Everyone else tells me you're gonna love uni! it's the best! and i am seriously trying to figure out when that aspect of it will arise.
Even one of my team members mentioned that she thought uni was a more social thing lol, and education sorta came in between somehow. But seriously, I feel like I have no time in the world to complete everything yet i manage to do everything I'm not supposed to. Also since no ones telling us what to do, studying is a bit of a mystery at this point. Anyway, I hope it gets better.

And also referencing is a bit of a drag. So fiddly and time consuming ew.

Thats why unis so awesome, we can study whatever we want, whenever we want. Also as soon as you realise lectures are pretty damn useless there will be plenty of time to socalise/catch up/do whatever the fuck you want

3-4 hours of travel time is a LOT... I don't go to uni yet so I can't comment, but that seems almost unbearable - maybe consider moving somewhere closer (if it's financially viable?)

Making fun of SDPHD really brightens my day. I strongly recommend anyone who's stressed by uni to drop by Melbourne uni to laugh at him.

Which uni/campus do you study at and where do you live? (totally not a stalkerish or anything :/)

As an example, if you went to Monash Clayton and lived in the western suburbs, I would put forward the idea of making new friends and possibly going out for a drink (or something else if that's not your thing) at a few bars in the city rather than going straight home, to indulge yourself in what you predicted uni life to be. Most uni's have functions on a regular basis, from what I've seen, so if you haven't witnessed this "fun and games" aspect maybe it's 'cause you're not trying hard enough 

It is understandable that you may struggle to find a good balance between socialising and study, just as most did in year 12, I just advise trying to make do with the spare time you do have, despite how little it may be.

Oh and sucks about your traveling times, sounds similar to b^3, hope you don't have to many early starts/late finishes

[Fyrefly]

You need to seriously consider moving on campus.

With certain exceptions eg. yourself perhaps?

[DisaFear]

Yea, the whole experience is tiring, my feet are always aching. But its so much more enjoyable than high-school, soooo much more
Also aiming for HDs, so far doing well, but it's a struggle to do all the reading I'm meant to.
Same, every weekday night, just want to relax.

I'm at parkville campus. I didn't think travel would be such a bitch until i actually started doing it day in day out. Takes forever, walk to bus stop, bus to train station, train to tram... Takes 1hr 40mins~ on the way there and the same back but can be more during peak hour I live on the mornington peninsula.
I like the idea of living on campus and i would consider it maybe next year. I may be able to move in with some relatives and cut the travel time in half, but then i would have literally no social life outside of uni - cos all of my friends live on the peninsula :/
I've joined a few comm based clubs and there events have mainly been bbqs and some evening events with accounting firms etc. The other thing about going to the pub or going out in the city is that it would be hard to get home for me - especially on weeknights
Recently i've started to try doing some reading on the train and some tute work - which has helped, but i really dont want to take textbooks to uni lol
It's starting to get better but still sucks XD
