Though I had finished the last term way back at the beginning of the summer it was not until now that I recieved my results from the big final load of exams here in britain (the a-levels) on which my entrance to universities depended.Since the way it works is before hand the universities view your applications then decide whether to give you an offer of certain grades (which must be met to get in) it takes up an entire year (for the most part) with stress <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />. Anyway my geekish ways (though not truly as I am a little work-shy <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> - i know i won't be once I'm actually in university) payed off and I got the grades I needed. Therefore will be reading English (Literature and Language) at University college in Oxford university come october. (I know given my location that this seems to be a singular lack of imagination but I had my reasons <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />)Of course I'm thrilled but as with everything in life each turn throws up new challenges, therefore I'm asking everyone here to put my mind at ease (or open my eyes to the horrific truth<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> ) by letting me in on what university meant to you. What did you study?Any advice on how best to approach it?Should I be on the lookout for anything?How was the gaming? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> (lok nearly on topic!)Any fun stories?Any help in getting me primed, enthusiastic and champing at the bit to go would be greatly appreciated. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Thanks everyone!- Arken</blockquote>
