No joke a girl at our school mentioned a book in her personal statement but didn't read it and her interviewer turned out to be the author of that book! Busted!
You've posted this on another post you bleeding crackhead , I like it , relentless
@@shammab8889 i saw someone else write it maybe it's just a copypasta
What kind of coincidence is that lol
She deserved to be turned down then. What kind of insecure prat pretends to read books they haven't? Leo Tostoy wrote about similar themes of insecurity in his sci-fi novel War and Peace

ngl the more you told me to get excited the more anxious i got
Eyyyyy where my anxiety buddies be at??
Same
Literally
Exactly, she's like you wanna do this and you're gonna thrive but I don't know what I wanna do and I'm not very good at anything.
"Figure out what makes you stand out!"
Ever since I was a child.....
“Don’t waffle, don’t be arrogant, don’t use flowery language but DO bullshit about how terribly excited you are about studying an exams!!” Oh joy
yeah... thats the spirit! lmao
"But DO bullshit about how terribly excited you are studying an exams" 😂😂
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

did you get into the uni bro
Gonna be real, I just want to study at uni. I’m not thrilled and excited and overjoyed about doing something I probably have to do to get a job now, this whole thing kind of just seems like bullshit. A helpful video in telling me what unis give a shit about, but the entire personal statement thing feels like bullshit and just feels like being overly positive about something I feel like I’m obligated to do.
same way i’m feeling. i need to have one for sixth form but i don’t have any plans for my future. i only chose the subjects i want to do because i’m good at them and enjoy them. but how am i supposed to go on about them to make it into a paragraph. also i’m not very good at wording so this just feels so panic inducing. i’m not excited, i don’t have a reason tbh why i picked the sixth form i picked, probs because it’s just closer to me, and hobbies? i don’t get how they have any relevance but okay
Going into higher education with a view like that won't make you happy, and it won't make your abilities stand out. There are alternative routes into a career that don't include studying something you dislike for 4 years. If you _are_ going to get a job, you should look for something you love. There is literally a whole world of work out there for you to choose from. You don't have to settle for second-best.
exactly! what tf do you mean why am i excited to do the course? im not? i need a job and thats it lmao
"forget your friends"
me: What friends ? 😐
All
@@abdirahimhassan9260 All 0 of them for me. *Haha*
Zero friends:'(
I feel ya
The only thing I got from this was “Verbal Diarrhoea”
I am 14 but getting ready and studying hard to apply one day to college. Helped a lot
Papa Stalin Thank you
Damn enjoy early highschool as much as you can 😂
Keep going, you can get there!!
thats great earlier the better
This shits so annoying
“Hi I don’t really care about this course or about going to university but I’m going to do it because my parents want me to and I want to be able to make a decent wage in the future and get a job , I play games and do stuff but it has absolutely nothing to do with my course”
ME. I just want to go play Genshin Impact and watch anime but my parents are making me apply for a law course I have no interest in and barely care about, just so I can work my arse off so I just barely survive in the future.
@@jinorism be realistic in your life, do something not for yourself but for the society at least. Being lawyer is always been amazing, though I am not pursuing law myself but believe me lawyers and judges can make the society a better place to live in. Watching cartoon and animes won't do you any good. These are the creation of humans and think for the moment that you are living in these human made fantasies. You would be either in late teens or early twenties and believe me this is time for character building and do, desire, pursue something that makes the lives of others and your's better. However, it's not necessarily be a degree holder from some university but do something productive; such as learning skills like programing, digital marketing etc. to make your life better. Respect your parents because they have experienced life and saw the ups and down in their lives and therefore they always think for your good. I am writing this long essay instead of writing my own personal statement with 3 days remaining for deadline, so better bother your a$$e now than ever and try to alleviate the addiction of this sort of cartoon, animes etc. My humble advice.
@@harrison9861 if you read my comment properly where I mentioned that being lawyer isn't necessary but I emphasized on rather wasting time on cartoons and animes, one should consume time on learning something new or something that one is interested in. Though I don't value degree much but I love to be an economist.
@@kajab855 what you've said is completely arbitrary to your experiences in life. Let people live how they want to live, if you want "consume time on learning something new" then go do that. If my guy wants to watch anime and play games let him. Don't try and hold people to your ego. If I want to cover myself in Vaseline and lick doorknobs you sure as hell aren't stopping me. Check yourself. My humble advise
@@albiex6315 can I add you on something that was amazing!
Watching this despite having submitted my application already 😂

I am wondering whether requesting my father to give me a position in his company is a part of honour and privilege because the law in our country does not allow me to work unless I am 18 years old.😭
Isn't very helpful lol. Just crammed a load of shit into my head and now I'm even more confused
Since you wrote this a while ago, I assume you managed to write a personal statement?? How did it go??????
