I am in my first year and my plan was to get a high GPA and get into law next year. I’ve been set on law since I was a kid and I’ve worked really hard to maintain all high distinctions, but I’ve reached a point where I’m questioning whether law is something I’m really passionate about.

I was thinking about going into political science and international relations instead because I’ve found that I really really love it, but a lot of people are telling me it is a mistake. I think the main problem is that I’m so close to getting in and I've worked so hard for this, but now it feels like I’m giving up before I have even started.

I've done a lot of research and IR still closely aligns with what I want to go into after uni, but i'm still a little worried about employment opportunities. I also haven’t really imagined a life for myself outside of a law degree, so considering a change like this is kind of scary!

I am also just generally struggling with living in Brisbane at the moment. I know that it will pass, but I can’t comprehend doing four or five more years of this. I’m not ruling law out forever, but it just doesn’t feel like the right path for me right now. 

Has anyone experienced anything like this or can lmk about their experience in law or political science and IR. <333

General electives so can be from any field

That’s all for this week’s crap post

Return next week for a new PSA

I understand the university has multiple campuses that cross the territory of multiple traditional owner groups

But how come the university never names them in the land acknowledgements? Is this a Queensland thing? All the other uni’s (except the others in SEQ) and other research groups I’ve been around always say who’s land they’re presenting on and working on when they do these land acknowledgments.

Anyone do provisional med that didnt do science in highschool? Ive been looking into it but i dont do science at all in school, i also know science isnt a prequisite but you need to do certain biomed subjects, and you can do a high chemistry subject in your first sem without bridging. Has anyone done these highschool science subjects under provisional med undergraduate degree? How did you find it, was it managable? And how do people find doing an irrelevant provisional degree like stats or maths find it?

Where do you guys live at??? what suburbs

Also would love if u guys could recommend me some areas for around 300pw

Hello, I am wondering if this is even worth pursuing.

I am doing a course where in each tutorial there are marked group activities. Collaboration/teamwork isn't a learning outcome in this course (so they aren't assessing our team-work abilities but only application skills). Anyways, I have missed these tutorials due to my mental illness which I now have a SAP for. I know the content, however I get incredibly anxious showing and doing this work in front of others, not to mention other aspects of the illness which made me miss a big portion of it. This is for 2 courses, both which have the attendance aspect as 10% and 15% respectively. I am logically aware that these are very free marks, I mean you're technically working with others on 3/4 questions maybe and as long as one person knows (very likely) you'll get full marks, yet I still struggled attending.

I am wondering if it's worth asking if I could get the attendance marks redistributed across my mid-semester, assignments and final exam instead. Or even an alternative assessment? I have a SAP in place but I only got it set up this semester and I have no idea what comes with it or what I am eligible for. I have a meeting with the wellbeing team but I would like to know my prospects before I come in.

If anyone knows or had this happen please provide advice. If it's approved it would make my life a lot easier and help me meet GPA requirements (I want to transfer into something else next year). I hope I get approved since based on the ones I did attend, every single other assessment piece I have completed is a lot harder, it's just my illness and period of adjustment (I am finally medicated and we are still adjusting dosages) has made it incredibly difficult for me to attend.

Please don't shame me for missing such a simple requirement. I more than understand how embarrasing this is and I am working on it, I've struggled with attendance my whole life due to it and only now am I understanding the cause and working on coping strategies. I understand the real-world isn't as accepting but I hope that by the time I finish my degree I will be able to cope without adjustments. So please, just advice :')

Are only postgraduates allowed to use postgraduate areas or can undergraduates use them as well?

Burner account for anonymity, but I'm a student at UQ and have found myself with nowhere to stay. I scoured online and didn't find anything on UQ saying it's not allowed to sleep on campus and I think for the foreseeable future I might find myself sleeping around the 24/7 libraries if I can. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

I am currently debating doing MATH1051 over the summer, as I want to graduate as soon as possible. Is it compatible with about a 25-30 hour work load? Is it hard than sem 1 MATH1051?

Welp

This semester is (slowly and agonisingly) coming to an end (Hooray).

I've seen new accs popping up in here for 2027 intake already 🫠.

Lowk burnout.

*conveniently ignore the huge hurdle

The UQ Centre has free indoor pickleball courts available today from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. Since it's indoors, the morning rain won't affect at all.

Hello all, part of our assignment is to get 50 responses on this survey I made. If any of you could please help us by filling it out, it would be much appreciated, thank you all! 🙏🏽 If you also feel inclined to share it that would also be amazing thanks!

I had a fight with my parents lol

Hi, I’m moving up from the Gold Coast next semester and am looking at housing options. My parents have a 4-bedroom place in St Lucia close to campus and they’ve said they’ll rent it to me, but they want to charge me $750 a week. I’m trying to figure out if it’s reasonable for a place that size around UQ or I should look at other options.

It's gonna be a bit fuckin' wet.

2 hour commuters gang, how we feelin'

I’ve had Covid, influenza and a resulting lung bacterial infection take a firm grasp of my life for the last 2 weeks and as a result i’ve been bedridden. While I don’t have any assignments due, my exam prep has been griefed by this. Is there anything I can do for the final exams?
Cheers

Hey guys, I would like to seek some advice from people who is currently studying this course. I heard that most masters do not offer lecture replays how bachelor degrees would normally do, may I know if that applies to this course? I am asking because I may likely miss the first week, but I am worried that by doing so I am not able to go back to watch the lecture of said week. If anyone would advice me on that that would be great, thank you very much!

Looking to move out bcs my family is tin foil coocoo crazy and the commute is pretty long and I work casually… but if I were to rent id barely save any money for anything else it seems, unless I were to work a lot more in which case I wouldn’t have time to study.

I’m 19, so under Centrelink im still a dependent and my parents earn too much so id get like maybe $10 a fortnight. I was lodging my dads parental means test today and I just kind of gave up because whats the point

Is everyone’s parents like mining oligarchs bankrolling them seriously how is anyone doing this??? Why is a shared room in a shitty sharehouse in st lucia $180 a week
