AIBU to share my news with you?!

[blaisealex]

So, after a crappy few years that includes dropping out of School, not finishing my A Levels, working Min Wage Jobs to survive, having a baby, health scares, diagnosed anxiety disorder and a mental breakdown, I have now applied to University!

My family don't seem particularly bothered so I just wanted to share my news here instead.

I submitted my application this morning and the decision is pending. I should hear back by the 6th July. I'm excited and scared!

Regardless of the degree or where it is, you'll do well because you have fought for it and obv love it. Crack on and keep succeeding!

Well done. That's fabulous.. the best of luck, not that you will need it.

There's a saying ' when preparation meets opportunity, that's luck'
You've got it.

Wishing you every success!

Well bloody done!!

Well done on applying.

Even bigger well done on applying for something you love and will relish digging deep into regardless of other people belittling the subject (my English teacher wanted me to apply for English at Oxford. I did an art degree instead and I have never had cause to regret it because I bloody loved it and I use the skills I learned every day.)

I’ve got a pregnancy test to see if fertility treatment has worked on the 6th, will be thinking of you and willing us both the best news. X

Good for you !
And good luck

That's fantastic and keeping everything crossed for you that you get in xx

Well done you - any subject is worthy and if it's something you have a passion for you'll do brilliantly.

Huge congratulations. Hope all goes well.

All the best and most excellent, I must admit id love to go back to university, with my frame of mind and experience from before , id be a lot better student this time around and hopefully get a 2:1 or a first.

Fantastic. Well done you! Hope all goes well with the application. 🥳

Congratulations! Well done.

Fingers crossed for you.

Congratulations 👏

Well done and good luck!

Congratulations! That is a huge milestone you have conquered. Your life really will change for the better. I'm so happy for you and your child, whose life chances will improve with your every success. Hurray!!

You should be so so proud of yourself

Every degree subject has its merits and most universities consciously engage students in employability programmes such as work experience. If you engage with the extracurricular stuff, you will fly into a good job, no matter the subject.

Be sure to ask about it at your interview! Fingers crossed 🤞

Congratulations OP! Wonderful news - will be thinking of you and crossing my fingers that you get a speedy (positive!) reply.

Well done you

That’s fantastic. Well done you!! That’s amazing news. 🎉🥂🍾

OP - you are AWESOME!
Bloody well done. I wish you every success and a fabulous life

Good Luck!
Don't let anyone berate your course, there's plenty of people who use degrees from multiple areas as a leg up in other fields and those who do subjects like psychology where there's a whole wealth of careers you can go into - especially these days
