As the title says really. Should I really be working hard in my first year? How did everyone else deal with their work in the first year?
I see other people doing what I do, just getting an essay done the night before regardless of the quality of work; my essays have got progressively worse but are still of passable standard, it just feels a bit wrong. I speak to second year students who say 'oh hell do what you want in the first year', but it does sort of feel wrong as I feel I ought to make an impression on my lecturers and such.
Another thing I thought i'd bung in here; A levels seem much harder than what i've done so far? I've written 10 essays now in my first term and they're pretty awful but they pass, if I'd written anything like this for A-Level i'd easily be expecting a U.

The thing i'm not really spending my time drunk either, i'm just... putting work off last minute and racing through it to get done. Hence my regular attendance in the 'who's pulling an all-nighter?' thread
