Hi all,

Bit confused about how Joint Honours works in Trinity and hoping someone can explain it simply.

For example, say French is around 358 points on its own, but another subject like Economics or Linguistics is much higher. If you want to do them together in Joint Honours, do you need the points for the higher subject, or is there a separate points requirement for the combination itself?

Also, when applying, are you applying for the actual combination specifically or just general Arts and choosing later?

Thanks.

I have a teacher who loves Heineken beer and I was thinking of buying him a 12 pack but id have no other way of giving it to him than in school ?

Would it be a bad look for the teacher if I done that or ?

Had an absolute mare today and didn't get the project assembled fully as one of my markings was off, does anyone know the breakdown of marks for it ?

I’m 18 and in the middle of the Leaving Cert.

My parents are terrible with money and needed €1.7k for a car. I had that saved in stocks so I sold them and gave it to them. Didn’t really want to but it felt like I had to.

After that I couldn’t stop thinking about the money. I didn’t even know if I’d get it back and it was just annoying me constantly.

Then I did something stupid and tried to win it back gambling and lost another €1.3k in one night.

So now I’m down about €3k. I still have like €8.8k saved but I just feel sick over it.

What’s actually bothering me more is I’m really pissed off at my dad for putting me in that situation in the first place. I know the gambling part is on me, but still.

I’m trying to study but my head just keeps going back to it and I can’t focus properly.

Don’t really know what to do, just wondering if anyone’s dealt with something like this or how to get it out of your head for a few weeks.
