10.03.17 | English language an linguistics? Soooo what jobs does that qualify you for? |
Tunaboy45
10.03.17 | People who study it tend to go into things like marketing, speech therapy, teaching and journalism. A lot of graduates also go into accounting for some unexplained reason. |

Enjoy yourself, always discuss, know the truth, go to the evil eye and get bollocksed on cocktails. |

10.03.17 | Awkward sex>sexy sex |
zakalwe
10.03.17 | All sex is awkward it’s just when you’re listening to people have awkward sex through a glass on the wall, wanking yourself into oblivion wishing your life wasn’t such a vapid lonely hole that it becomes a touch disheartening. |
Tunaboy45
10.03.17 | Even worse when it's through the ceiling so you have to stand on a desk chair, turning a sad wank into a danger wank |
zakalwe
10.03.17 | Risky. To be fair nowadays you’d probably be able to sue if the table broke cos of some sex related mischief.
These tables legs do accommodate my 12ft super stap on and as a result result of not being able to smash it up me arsehole I’ve suffered crippling anxiety.
You’ll get a 2:1 without even putting pen to paper. |

10.03.17 | The funniest thing is when everyone can't stop coughing during lectres.
But then it's fucking annoying when you can't hear shit on panopto cos of it. |

12.26.17 | @Choccy it's always fun listening back on lecture capture and it's nothing but violent coughing for 50 minutes |

12.26.17 | Enjoy it mate. York is a stellar uni. |
AsleepInTheBack
12.26.17 | Lol, I'd already commented on this one. My bad. |
Tunaboy45
12.26.17 | thanks mate, where did you study? |
ArsMoriendi
12.26.17 | I know a guy who goes to York. Haven't seen him in like 2 years though. |
ArsMoriendi
12.26.17 | He likes pop punk a lot. |
Kalopsia
12.26.17 | he's dead |
Tunaboy45
12.26.17 | 2 years is a long time he probs listens to crust punk now |
ArsMoriendi
12.26.17 | He had a Wonder Years (band) tattoo, so I'm not so sure

12.26.17 | I went to Durham. York was my second choice though, really friendly and high caliber place |
Tunaboy45
12.27.17 | I have a friend at Durham, he's loving it so far. Durham and York are quite similar in terms of the college system. |

12.04.19 | i got a degree in english at an american uni but did part of a semester abroad in York. fucking loved that city and would love to go back |

12.04.19 | Hoping to go study speech therapy after this and go into it as a career, really want to use the linguistics I've learnt and whatnot |

12.05.19 | Maaan I spent too much time complaining about York. Miss that place but has a sick final year at least |

12.06.19 | Final year is good so far, can't believe I'm in the last stretch it's flown by |

12.08.19 | Enjoy it man. If you're interested in travel, I recommend applying for the international study centre. I did it in the summer with a full bursary and it was unreal |

Tunaboy45
05.05.20 | Well here's the update, I've been accepted for a masters in Speech and Language Therapy |
unclereich
05.05.20 | im still workin on my masters in literature here in the states. linguistics was so fun to take during my undergrad. I can honestly say I learned more in those classes than any other related to my current degree |
unclereich
05.05.20 | congrats on the acceptance!
and yep lol @ the final year comment. I am 26 and still in school and will be for a while. one thing I have learned from years of trial and error is that education and finding your true calling is not a race!
|
Tunaboy45
05.05.20 | How are you finding the masters in literature? And cool to hear you got so much out of linguistics! |
Tunaboy45
05.05.20 | Honestly it's nice to hear someone else say that, I was always hesitant to do another 2 years after my undergrad (especially when you see your friends graduating and getting jobs) but you really have to do what's right for you |
unclereich
05.05.20 | literature is my passion man, I love every second of it. even when I am hitting complete roadblocks in my research and want to give up, I know that the completion of this degree will lead me into a job I love even more than my area of study.
yep I used to hate it when someone from my old high school/uni would bump into me and tell me about their comfy new job and life. though I really love what I am doing now and love school. I honestly wouldn't change a thing. I am thankful everyday I went back to school. |
Tunaboy45
05.05.20 | That's amazing man! if you're so passionate about it and knowing you'll be in a job you love is what's keeping you going, you'll have no problems getting through it I'm sure. any ideas what you want to do? |
zakalwe
05.05.20 | Well done tuna lad.
How many people took part in your thingamajig the other week? Any results or is it still ongoing? |
Tunaboy45
05.05.20 | Thanks zak! Got the 30 responses I was hoping for and I'm currently finishing the paper, due next week. When that's done I'll be able to say what all the general trends were but I'm pretty happy with how it has gone

05.05.20 | I honestly just want to be a college professor. I have to get my feet wet in teaching lower levels rn, but after my master's I'd like to sneak my way into teach at the junior college level. eventually if I find that I really have something interesting to write and publish I will try to get a doctorate |

05.05.20 | Nice one Tuna. Would be interesting to hear the findings. Alternatively I can do the concluding summary for you.
Received pronunciation is dead.

05.05.20 | @zak RP is dead, the north is becoming more homogenised, the north east reigns supreme |
ChoccyPhilly
05.05.20 | Change my mind: York is culturally a southern town.
Honestly, I forgot I was even in the north half the time. It was only when I was doing ambassador work, showing school kids around with ridiculously strong accents did I remember we were in the north, |
Tunaboy45
05.05.20 | York is a very middle class city so southerners find it more palatable than Newcastle and definitely boro |
