If someone was to request a new UTS student card, does anyone know whether the concession logo with the current year is printed on there by default? When my card was originally issued, it had the concession thing hard printed on it (as if to say they give it to everyone). Or do they actually...

How exactly does one greet a girl with a kiss? I have recently gone out with a girl who was a fan of greeting this way, and I ended up just bumping heads with her like a moron and not actually making contact with any lips. The girl I was with kind of puts her cheek out and presents it as if i...

So I think I have pretty much given up on girls. As someone who has studied IT, I have very little exposure to girls and have few friends (and don't go out much). It is my hypothesis that a social life is a prerequisite to ever attracting a girl (plus such a social life is also a prequisite to...

So I am almost 20 and never had a girlfriend and have many friends in the same positions, ranging up to 22 years old. Now just think about it... most of these people will have spent time fantasising about girls and watching porn etc. Plus, some will have been doing so for up to ~10 years. How...

Format of my thread: I start talking about how bored I am of life and then start talking about my failure with a girl, for some reason: How would you rate the importance of friendships in the enjoyment of life? I am so bored of life. Having only a few high school friends left that I talk to, I...

Quick survey time. Select your WAM from the list. If you don't know how to calculate WAM or your uni uses GPA, just put down the mean of the marks from all the subjects you have done so far. Also consider making a comment regarding what year you're in or reply with some witty BoS humour.

I have a feeling this novel will be very relevant to the demographic of people on BoS. It's written by a Chinese mother and goes through the differences in parenting between Chinese and Western parents based on the author's experiences. ie. she talks about how she raised her daughters to do...

How much do you currently have in the bank in earnings from your job and how long have you had a job? I currently have $6000 and been employed for about 5-6 months.

I always thought uni would have lots of really smart people. People who could answer every question from a lecturer and dedicate heaps of time towards study to get epic marks. Sure, this might happen in some courses but I thought there would be at least a few people in courses of lower...

Tell me your stories. I once had a teacher who used white board markers that could be refilled by placing them into little tubs. Pretty much the tub sits on the table and you put the marker tip-side down into the tub so it can restore the ink into the pen. A student once asked her if the tubs...

How have people found the difficulty of their course in the first year compared to the 2nd, 3rd etc? Is it about the same or does it get progressively harder? Is the first year/semester an outlier for how difficult the rest is?

What is there to do away from the house? I have 5 weeks off, I don't have a job and I'm scared that I will be bored shitless over the next month.

Eminem's new album has leaked onto the interwebz. I'm only half way through listening to it but it is sounding a lot better than Relapse and is more like his older stuff. Check it!

For people with jobs, what do you do with your pay? For example; 30% - phone bill. 30% - cat food. 40% - gambling. I'm curious as to how significant having a job is for people at school/uni. If people are mostly spending money on stuff they don't need, I guess it isn't much of a loss for...

Due to some circumstances at home, I wasn't able to get my apparition license when I turned 17. I'm 18 now and still haven't taken the exam yet but now that uni has started it's becoming quite hard to travel to uni without it. Anyway, I've already had a few lessons but I'm just looking for some...

Normal users have permission to delete their own threads. WHY?

I always thought these would very rarely exist, but I seem to run into them occasionally. Could books be printed with errors because sometimes books are written and published quickly and there isn't enough time for all the errors to be located/removed? Or perhaps publishers are aware of the...

Does anyone know why there is only one bus per day that departs from Campbelltown station and goes to UOW and it leaves at 7am? Or does that just mean there are very few people who go to UOW in Campbelltown/catch public transport? There are also some trains that go during the day but they all...

How long do we have to accept an offer in the main round?
