    I just finished my finals for my first year of uni and holy shit, I can totally agree to the part about LOADS of work. The workload is insane. I was a pure science student in high school and I took finance as a major for degree and jfc accounting has been so difficult

  • @Sophie-yt7ee

    Just wondering, what made you want to do a business course and not one of your A levels or one which relates more so to them? Is it because you thought it would be the most useful choice being a TH-camr and potentially growing your brand further? X

    I found it interesting to hear how you found taking a brand new subject in university. I do history and politics dual honours and whilst I took history during A levels, I've never done politics before. I actually found I was on an even basis with those who did politics at A level and I pretty much got the same/better marks as them! I genuinely didn't find it too bad starting a brand new subject, but I can completely see how business especially finance would be difficult to adapt to!

      I also want to add that politics is massively opinion based and doing history essays also helped me hugely as the essay style is somewhat similar!

      Jojo And no friends Hey! I really enjoy it. I find generally the people in politics are interesting and quite vocal with opinions and in discussion compared to history (in my uni anyway!) I find my modules super interesting as well (this semester I take foreign policy and Russian politics, for an insight) I’m at Keele uni so definitely a less well known uni but it’s actually 3rd in the UK for politics behind Cambridge and Oxford, so the staff are amazing and super approachable and friendly! I’m in my second year now and I plan to specialise in politics next year, though I’ll still get a dual history and politics degree. Hope this helped!

    Literally loved watching this, I can relate to so much of what you're saying, I also found first year of uni SO much harder than A-Levels and couldn't believe how many people told me beforehand that it would be easier! Also 1 year in and I still haven't managed how to balance nights out and getting work done, the day after is always such a write off for me (oops!)

    Don't worry about accounting it will just take some time to get your head around it. My sister studies business management at Edinburgh and I know she is finding accounting the most challenging module too.

    Amazing that you’ve settled well & are active in things!! Have a fab experience! But it really bugs me when people say “you’re so busy the first few weeks” “hectic freshers” you this & you that. It isn’t always true. You may personally have settled quickly but soo many people struggle with this and hearing how others go on about how busy everyone is with their social life really doesn’t help.
