God I'm fucking starving.

Turns out I'm having Salmon, new potato's and broccli for dinner

The devil of dinners.

Next Thursday and I'm finished provided I have my Media and History coursework finished.

I only have about 600 more words to do of my history so here's hoping.

I'm finished Tuesday, if my attendance wasn't shit I wouldn't go in, it's at 93% and I don't want it to go shit before Uni, bit of a pain, going to really enjoy these 2 weeks off.

Luckily my Mum and Dad don't want much and decided they'd rather save my money for driving and uni.

To be fair, I'm not fussed about presents anymore, a couple of things I need is good but I think I finally enjoy the principle of just having family time, eating food and watching mindless amounts of TV. Not that I didn't ever appreciate that, just I would focus more on presents.

Presents have always come second to those, for me.

I finished today. We were supposed to be in next week but because I'm up to date with all of my coursework I get next week of and my tutor is going to put it down as a study week.

It feels better to not see Christmas as a competition, Witcher, I find.

I've ALWAYS preferred the build up to Christmas than the aftermath. Much more.

Nice Harrold, I have an upgrade week currently, I have nothing to upgrade so I'm just sitting on college computers dawdling doing nothing.

Food takes primacy.

Food is exceptional.

My Mum's hid all the snacks cos I'll destroy them, probably the best bit of Christmas.

DAT cold meat, pickles, pickled eggs, ham, beef

Just picked my grandma up in my car. Decided to play Wu Tang Clan - Shame On a Nigga just before she got in. Her reaction was hilarious

I loaded it up on YouTube just to get a better imagination of the scenario.

What did she say?

After all the dire Uni food, I'm going to be as selfish as I can once I get back.

How much can you live off Witcher?

I'm aiming for a budget of £20 with my diet largely consisting of:

Baked beans, bread, eggs, noodles, bacon, cheese, spaghetti hoops.

I think a good dinner isn't as important as brekky and lunch, for breakfast I'll probably just have porridge, a small lunch then the above for dinner.

Bear in mind she's got a strong Geordie accent,

'Eeeeeeeeeee what the bloody hells this shite? That's not bloody music. I could shout as many swear words as I could like that and make money'

Always spend differing amounts each week. Full board so no worrying about food apart from the odd late night 16' pizza. Take 50 out whenever I run out, lasts me from more than a week to two days.

Imagine if she said, oooh keep this on I like this one.

Then 3 seconds later just let out a: "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee"

Ah sorry I'm looking for catering so that might save me a few for the first year, yeah definitely a cheeky takeaway every now and then.

What do you pay for accomodation, with catering, en-suite in MMU I'm looking at anywhere between £87 - £103

I've made her watch an episode of Geordie Shore once and she hated it and started ranting about how Geordies are nothing like that

Nans are truly wonderful human beings!

No idea.

Only need an MMM in my course and get a C in maths to get into Manchester Met for computing, might apply.

Playmaker taking over

James Arthur's Impossible will be big man..

Luke I'm bossing it this year, no referrals so far, well on course for the D*D*D*

I'll be happy with triple D.

Yeah go to MMU man

Thinking of taking a 1 year foundation degree at Manchester Met, as I don't have a C in maths and I'm waiting on a result in January, but don't feel confident of getting a C. Means I can go straight into a proper degree after 1 year, doesn't seem too bad.

I'm not keen on those foundation degrees, you can do them at my college and I think it destroys the purpose of uni if you just want to smash through a degree 100mph.

Anticipate the C man. If not you can always have a gap year and earn some money!

I think it's better than staying at home for another year and doing an HND or whatever else and applying AGAIN after that, I'd rather just be straight in and knowing that I'm going to be doing a proper degree the year after. Only thing is.. 5 years if I want a sandwich year.

Apparently uni is the best part of peoples life, so 5 years might be good.

Mine is 4 years. But one year is spent working abroad for a global organisation.

That's pretty ballin, just put down Computing & Computing Science with a foundation year on my UCAS choices, as those are the only two I could find that don't require C in maths. The other 3 choices will just be in hope of getting a C

Very big cliche. It is, but people really need to stop saying that, look to the future...like, the actual life that lies beyond uni.

My brother and his wife said definitely stay in halls as well, my brother went to Leeds Uni and didn't stay in halls and it's one of his biggest regrets.

Going to university is fun, parties all the time, loose chicks, etc. But, and granted I am still in grad school, I think the post-university years are even better. You are still young, you don't have to deal with school, work at this age for most is not as demanding as it will be in the future (although you do wan't to set your career up nicely) and most importantly, you have caaaaash.

23-early 30s/before marriage is what I'm looking forward to.
