What is going on with the su this year? There seems to be constant rumours of impeachments, officers supposedly going around badmouthing each other, almost complete cut off of events with clubs and socs, and constant ai use??
I’m 23, turning 24 in a month, and I’m genuinely wondering where all the students around my age are hiding.
I know UCC has a mature student community, but I feel like there’s a bit of an awkward age gap that doesn’t get talked about enough. I’m not quite in the same stage of life as someone who’s just turned 18 or 19, but I also don’t necessarily relate to mature students who are in their 30s, 40s or older.
Don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against younger or older students! I’d just love to meet more people who are in a similar stage of life to myself.
I was walking out of the Boole Library recently when a guy approached me and asked for my Snapchat. We got chatting, and it turned out he was born in 2008. As someone born in 2002, that was a bit of a reality check. 😂 It made me realise how much older I feel than some of the students around campus, even though I’m still only in my early 20s.
I think being a student in your mid-20s can sometimes feel a little isolating. You’re still young, you want to make friends, go out, attend events and enjoy university life, but you’re often at a different stage socially and personally compared to students who have just finished secondary school.
I’d genuinely love to connect with other students around 23–29, whether you’re an undergraduate, postgraduate, part-time student or returning to education. I study part time myself.
Would anyone be interested in starting a WhatsApp group chat for students in their mid-to-late 20s at UCC?
Nothing overly formal, just somewhere to chat, make friends, organise coffees, go to events together or even find someone to sit with between lectures.
Surely I’m not the only one feeling a little too old for the freshers but too young to feel like a proper adult? 😂
I recently graduated and am dying to get access back to research papers and journals, anyone willing to rent their student account to me? I’d be willing to pay monthly for it just so I can research papers for my job (I work in healthcare).
I recently left university for a job
Anyone recommended any jobs with good pay no degree.
I’m a third year now and was struggling heavily with anxiety and depression for my first two years, but early this year I’ve been on great medication that’s helped me try and be social.
My problem is I have no friends or even anyone who knows me in my rather small course and everyone seems to be in groups, i missed out largely in first year as I was to scared to talk to others and now I’m wondering am I too late to find a group as this is my last year.
Any advice?
I am dropping out like ucc is too academic heavy theory in business information systems i am trash at maths dont understand a single thing in lectures my brain is blowing up 😷
