cleanbluesky said:Been spending time in the hills of North Wales with an Oxbridge girl over the weekend. That and a load of UCL students and some miscellaneous professionals, mountaineering nerds and a few working class lads such as myself.
It got me thinking about the different ways people develop through education, and the different dynamics amongst social classes, including just how such things are defined.

Please whatever you do though dont forget to have fun! Seriosely ,if your not the going out type, use the opportunity to try it, go out, get wasted occasionally (or not if you dont drink) meet a few ladies etc then when it comes to years 2 and more specifically 3, do those things but only after youve finished your work!
It sounds simple but youd be shocked how few people manage it. I think i did fairly well (after a slow self conscious start) and the result was a 1st class honours, no soul destroying stress and a damn good time of it! and lots of friends ill hopefully keep in touch with for a very long time.
You genuinely do only get this sort of opportunity to find yourself socially during this period. Even if you do more study afterwards you simply will not have the time or the inclination (as im finding.)
Dont worry the plebs dissapear after a few months![]()
