I originally failed one of my papers by 3 marks and I put my head down and worked super hard for the 3-4 weeks leading up to resits and I scored 80%, I’m so happy and truly relieved. But my best friend who also failed (both papers), didn’t end up passing and was below the pass mark by 15 marks, and now I feel so disappointed and empty for her. She was the only close friend I made on the course, and whilst I have other ‘acquaintances,’ she was the only one I fully hung out with properly and now I fear I’m going to be all alone. I assume she’ll be allowed to resit the year, so we won’t be separated per se, but it’s just such a conflicting feeling when you’re the one who is progressing, but your friends aren’t.

Anyone experienced the same thing?

Just got my results back for my summatives. I passed one paper with 65% and i failed the other with 54% (pass mark was 58%). I am absolutely devastated and I was so mentally prepared to resit paper 2 as opposed to paper 1. I know I need to put my head down for resits in August, but I feel so disappointed in myself. My mum (who is a non medic) is making it so so much worse for me, as she keeps grilling me on what i did wrong, how i need to improve, and asking me whether I can REALLY do medicine. I was initially motivated but now I don’t know. I feel so many emotions, I didn’t even want to wake up this morning

The title. I just finished my first year exams, and yet to receive my results. The day after my exams, I got an email from my universities professionalism team, asking me to clarify why I had signed into a session I was not present for (this was a week before exams, and all our lectures are mandatory)

What had happened was, on my way there, I signed in, as I was literally about to walk in, but last minute, I quickly needed to go to the bathroom (I was sick with anxiety that entire week due to exams, and having to attend lectures, wasn’t making it any better for me), and as I felt so sick, I decided to walk back to my accommodation to rest and study to curb my anxiety. I didn’t think much of it until that email after exams. It was a long email saying how the lecturer counted the number of people, and I was marked as signed in, when I actually wasn’t. It also said how usually I’d have to speak to my year lead about this (We already discussed this once, where something similar happened), but since the academic year is over, they’ve given me the opportunity to explain myself via email. It’s now been a couple days since i’ve replied and my anxiety has only worsened, I feel so sick, and I feel like I’m going to get kicked out of medicine, and not be able to progress into year 2 due to ‘professionalism’. They’re yet to respond

Just to clarify, other than a similar incident couple months ago (that time it was due to technical difficulties though, since the sign in system is extremely messed up and new to the uni), I don’t have any other professionalism concerns. I keep telling myself if they intended to kick me out, they would have told me prior to exams, right? Ugh I feel so sick, I can’t breathe

Met a group of people in freshers, and kind of stuck with them until the Easter Holidays. Until, some silly drama happened (spoiler alert: people are extremely childish in university). Long story short: pick me girls decided to succumb to their pick me ways, essentially choosing to appease a guy instead of standing by their friends, and now me and my other friend are no longer friends with the rest of the group (3 people) and 3 of them are neutral and hang out with both of us, since they weren’t involved in whatever happened.

Quite frankly, as a dental student, i’m not interested in petty drama like this. I’ve never been one for drama in secondary school, or in any part of my life at all. So to experience this all at 20, is insane. It’s so awkward too because we have shared classes/clinical skills/PBL’s but i’ve learned to just ignore it all, and be present for lessons and all, surrounding myself with people who I know value me instead. It’s just so crazy to me how people can do a whole 180, and never speak to you again over such minor issues. Anyways i’m sure this is a canon event lol but i’m glad it happened because now I know their true natures lool. Has anyone else experienced anything similar

Also, side note. I knew the friendship was very one sided/superficial to begin with anyway because we never really hung out together outside of lectures, and they never wanted to go out. So, it’s not even like i’m missing out on much. But, I just hate the whole ‘ignoring’ aspect, when there’s so much tension, even after everything has been cleared up. And especially when you only now hang out with half the group because of it.
