3. Buy a box of Colour Catchers and throw one in each wash - no need for separating colours and whites, thus saving money.

Obviously these only really apply if you live on campus

colour catchers only work on campus??

Yeah, did you not know that??

It was more the first two tips that were only relevant to campus I suppose.

1. As a mature student my grammar and punctuation are totally fecked even after having done the essay writing course. I will of course do the essay writing course again but this is really getting to me and feel it may let me down when it comes to exams etc.
So just to ask how quickly does one adapt to the academic way of writing essays?

and

2. Pot noodles :eek:

Still fearing I may end up being seen as "the nerd" and not fitting in with the "in crowd".

Ah well good thing is I will always have you boardsies. Some of you will probably already know a little about me from my post in the Know Your Maynoothians thread and various other threads in this forum.

But yeah I will try my best to get to know all of you during Orientation and then on the 19th it all kicks off, with lectures and all the hardwork but hey if my uncle could do it so can I:p.

Yes Playdo is of course.

I also want to join the Music society, hopefully as I am actually learning to play the guitar now.

I'm also interested in the Tea society, for clubs some of you will probably see me at the soccer trials on thursday.

I was planning to final play for the NUIM soccer team this year, after all the years I've been here I've either been injured or playing somewhere else. But I'm injured again :pac: Next year I'll still be a registered student, maybe then :P
