What You DON'T Need To Take To University.... | Reacting to My First Year Uni Haul (BIG yikes)

Can you do a video on how to take notes during lectures, from what I’ve heard they talk so fast so how do you keep up?

[@nyoom5232]

You condense the most important stuff rlly. You learn as the year goes along but I’d recommend recording lectures because it means you can write stuff you missed later on !

[@izzykate1806]

The method that works for me is downloading the powerpoint ahead of time and then writing my notes in the ‘notes’ section underneath. That doesn’t work for everyone though, some people use google drive or word to write up from both the powerpoint & the lecturer, some take paper notes. You should have some introductory lectures in your first week where you can experiment with what works for you. I started out trying to write on paper and it didn’t work at all for me 😂

[@kate5093]

They do but don’t worry it’s usually all available online if you miss anything and don’t be afraid to ask questions or ask lecturers to repeat themselves x

[@sillygoosegoose]

the powerpoints are made available for my course in advance, which is quite standard these days. i make my notes on my laptop so half my screen is the powerpoint and half is a word document. i copy all of the text from the slide onto the document, format it how i like it, and then edit it and add things that they mention. that way i’m not wasting time typing out long bulks of info.

[@kate5093]

Izzy Kate I agree printing powerpoints out and writing extra comments made by lectures in the notes section is a fab tip x

[@evascarlettmurray]

I’d love a video on how you take notes in lectures and then how you revise revise at university!! You’re obviously doing something right ;)

[@gracenessa348]

I know it’s not very helpful but honestly it’s still completely manageable to do year 13 without the revision in year 12. I’ve just finished year 13 - and if you start the year fresh and with a new mindset you will have done more than enough to succeed, trust me! It will be tough at times but it is for everyone. Good luck! X

[@katewigglesworth8217]

Start revising yr12 content now! Make your resources etc for yr13 as you go along and catch up on yr12 as you go along say giving a deadline of say October half term to have made resources for yr12 content ready for mocks

Really depends what food you cook as to what utensils you need. Slotted spoon was one of my most used items to be honest so everyones kitchen needs will be personal

[@Stand_Up_Guys]

I'm waiting for Eve to get copyright strikes for unfair use of her own content. KZbin really kicking ass these days...

[@bananalandblu1430]

When I moved out of my parents' houses to live on my own I bought the total bare essentials. The nonessentials I copped super cheap from auctions, car boots etc. You can get far with 2 plates, 2 bowls, a set of cutlery, a frying pan, a saucepan, a spatula, and a sharp knife. Unless you're already big on cooking, just start with the minimum possible. When you start missing a utensil then go out and buy it because you know you'll use it. The exception to just buying things when you start to miss them might be if you're moving to London, which of course would be much more expensive. When buying a tin opener, don't get the cheapest one there, spend a couple pound extra to get one that works.

I'm going into second year myself, also brought so much crap with me, and knew if I were to post a yt video it would have to be something like this just to shame myself ngl I'm so glad you filmed it I laughed so much and 100% relate😹

[@grangerproductivity]

Even though I am not a uni student, this will really be helpful to know what I really need for my dorm when I go to uni in two years because I know I am that person who packs her whole house when going to uni or even when traveling 😂😂😂 plus I know most of my stuff to bring for uni will be stationery.

[@ThatRomyKate]

Regarding the kitchen stuff, yes you can usually share with your flatmates but if like me you quickly realise that your flatmates aren't fond of washing up and will regularly leave stuff for a week before washing it, keep some kitchen stuff in your room, otherwise you'll be having to do their washing up before you can cook. Poundland do great little baskets for bathroom stuff or cleaning stuff, or general storage, and get a fan because once the hot weather comes the shops will sell out. Be prepared for a heatwave! Also under bed storage boxes are a good idea so you can keep your spare stuff out the way :)

How to take notes during lectures and the difference between lectures / seminars / tutorials

[@samanthamaria5183]

I'm going into my second year, and it's my first year in accommodation as i commuted last year. As i am extra, i brought a load of crap, mostly to make my room cosy. Why do i need 4 display pillows and a throw? Idk but they look cute. I went crazy in the worlds biggest Primark and had a load of rubbish gifted to me. Last year, i found a printer necessary as i am studying History we get given a lot of sources to read which i found easier to print off. It was cheaper to use my own printer which is the same one that you brought and buy XL compatible ink from cartridge people. I also started using two laptops, as i like to game i used my 15 inch laptop for gaming and i used an old 11 inch laptop for uni work as i found it easier to take to lectures and carry around with me as it fitted nicely in my handbag and was not heavy at all. This is not a necessity of all, it just suited me. I prefer to write my notes on paper, but as i have a medical condition that affects my arms i cannot write as quick as i would like, so if the lecture slides were available online i would get them up on my laptop if i fell behind the lecturers pace. I also found a USB helpful as then i could use either of my laptops or a uni computer. If you have a medical condition that could affect your studies in any way, even if you don't think it will affect your studies, let your university know. I didn't think i would qualify for anything, but i get extra time in exams and for assignments, i am allowed to stop the clock and take a break in exams, and i am allowed to take my exam on a computer. Even though i do not claim it, you can also get disabled students allowance. I'd also suggest a folder for each module, and a notebook for each module isn't exactly necessary. My uni teaches 3 modules per semester so this year i am using a 10 subject notebook from paperchase for my first semester then i will see how i get along with that and reassess what i need for my second semester. Uni is about living and learning.

[@charlotted1321]

Why do they make you move out 3 times a year at oxford/Cambridge? Why not just stay in the same flat?

Kirsty O'Connell because they rent out the rooms to guest speakers, conventions and weddings etc to subsidise their costs, meaning you pay less for accommodation than at some universities
