- So people often tell you what you do need to take to uni, but what about telling you what you don't need?? Had the MOST fun reacting to last year's video hahahha
- Krátké a kreslené filmy
Realistic budget per month video!
Ellie Allsopp YES
Ellie Allsopp YES!!
yessss
YESSS
THIS PLEASE!
Can you do a video on how to take notes during lectures, from what I’ve heard they talk so fast so how do you keep up?
You condense the most important stuff rlly. You learn as the year goes along but I’d recommend recording lectures because it means you can write stuff you missed later on !
The method that works for me is downloading the powerpoint ahead of time and then writing my notes in the ‘notes’ section underneath. That doesn’t work for everyone though, some people use google drive or word to write up from both the powerpoint & the lecturer, some take paper notes. You should have some introductory lectures in your first week where you can experiment with what works for you. I started out trying to write on paper and it didn’t work at all for me 😂
They do but don’t worry it’s usually all available online if you miss anything and don’t be afraid to ask questions or ask lecturers to repeat themselves x
the powerpoints are made available for my course in advance, which is quite standard these days. i make my notes on my laptop so half my screen is the powerpoint and half is a word document. i copy all of the text from the slide onto the document, format it how i like it, and then edit it and add things that they mention. that way i’m not wasting time typing out long bulks of info.
Izzy Kate I agree printing powerpoints out and writing extra comments made by lectures in the notes section is a fab tip x
- How I organized my work and papers and stuff at university
- What's in my Uni bag
- What I take to lectures and what I take to tutorials
Xx
A yessss a what’s in my back for lectures would be awesome
*bag
I love how in the original video Eve said £15 was expensive for an extension lead cord and yet she spent £14 on that cushion...
when she pulled out the fox as a door stop i deadass couldnt stop laugjing
It’s sad because I have that door stop😂
“Who do I think I am, Nigella f***ing Lawson” 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
loooool
Eve: “She’s so naïve!”
Me: “So naEVE” 😂
hehehehe
That’s exactly what I thought😂
you're so punny 😂
I’d love a video on how you take notes in lectures and then how you revise revise at university!! You’re obviously doing something right ;)
She is indeed
My sister said condoms and a bottle of vodka.
oof
Well shit
Yess thank you for doing this! Your first year IKEA haul was definitely.... unnecessarily excessive 😂
Lmaoooooooo it was indeed
Yeah, I really wish I hadn’t taken like 70% of the crap I took.
Shoulda taken a sandwich toaster instead.
What you wish you knew about first year/advice/motivation
When I moved out of my parents' houses to live on my own I bought the total bare essentials. The nonessentials I copped super cheap from auctions, car boots etc. You can get far with 2 plates, 2 bowls, a set of cutlery, a frying pan, a saucepan, a spatula, and a sharp knife. Unless you're already big on cooking, just start with the minimum possible. When you start missing a utensil then go out and buy it because you know you'll use it. The exception to just buying things when you start to miss them might be if you're moving to London, which of course would be much more expensive.
When buying a tin opener, don't get the cheapest one there, spend a couple pound extra to get one that works.
You are soo done with past Eve and I love it, it's brilliant😂
She’s an idiot hahah I feel like a different person a year on
Could you please do a freshers guide!!! Also, possibly a budgeting video and how to keep on top of payments
Eve I remember seeing this video when you first posted it and though “damn homegirl does not need that much stuff”... so it’s funny to see you reacting to it now! 😂
Hahahahahaha
i'd love a video on advice for new Y13s who didn't do the whole revise-as-you-go-along thing in Y12? not sure where i'm gonna find time to revise old content whilst learning new stuff?? especially for english lit! help!!
I feel like I wrote this myself oh my god 😂 I literally have no clue what to do with myself I feel like I’ve screwed A-Levels up and have no way back
I know it’s not very helpful but honestly it’s still completely manageable to do year 13 without the revision in year 12. I’ve just finished year 13 - and if you start the year fresh and with a new mindset you will have done more than enough to succeed, trust me! It will be tough at times but it is for everyone. Good luck! X
Start revising yr12 content now! Make your resources etc for yr13 as you go along and catch up on yr12 as you go along say giving a deadline of say October half term to have made resources for yr12 content ready for mocks
becka ah I’m in the same boat as well, I really don’t know how I’m going to remember all of yr12 content as well as learn yr13 content. The jump is huge and I’m already struggling 😂
I’ve completed flopped year 12 lmaooo
Really depends what food you cook as to what utensils you need. Slotted spoon was one of my most used items to be honest so everyones kitchen needs will be personal
‘Just bring shot glasses... you know, stuff that reminds you of home’ 😂
Can you do a video on A level advice, including smaller things because lots of people just give the same general, over-arching advice x
This is so so helpful, for someone who is trying to sort everything out you've made it a lot easier to create a solid list!
Honestly Eve I can’t tell you how much your videos have helped me these past 2 years at sixth form and now as I’m preparing for uni. It is quite daunting making sure that you’re organised but your videos have always been a huge help so thank you
As someone who did 6 years at uni it's so interesting seeing others journeys, especially so early on. Reflect on this again in a few years you'd be surprised how much your opinion changes again.
I know that I’m a couple days late but Eve you look so much happier and brighter in this video compared to last year!!
The sponge she was talking about is called: Dishmatic Fill and Clean Scourer with Re-Fillable Dish Washing Liquid Handle
I’ve just started watching this but wow you’re GLOWING here!
Aw thank you!
Me watching university videos when I’m literally 16 😂
boo im 13 but we all are fuckin bored so
I am 12-
The time will fly sis😩
Regarding the kitchen stuff, yes you can usually share with your flatmates but if like me you quickly realise that your flatmates aren't fond of washing up and will regularly leave stuff for a week before washing it, keep some kitchen stuff in your room, otherwise you'll be having to do their washing up before you can cook. Poundland do great little baskets for bathroom stuff or cleaning stuff, or general storage, and get a fan because once the hot weather comes the shops will sell out. Be prepared for a heatwave! Also under bed storage boxes are a good idea so you can keep your spare stuff out the way :)
Romy sews Yes I lived with messy as fuck people in first year. Plus people that stole food!
People don’t wash for a week!? I thought I was bad at home not washing up for an hour or two 😂
@@joshuathompson7333 My housemates would just leave stuff and then forget it was theirs so it would take ages for the washing up to be done. Thankfully I don't live with them anymore!
Can you do a video about how to make notes at uni/the differences in the learning styles because I got so used to revising for school exams and I am a bit apprehensive about what it’s going to be like at uni... love this video btw! Xx
Loved this video!! So helpful I’m moving into uni in 3 weeks and I really can’t decide on what to take 😂😂😂 loved watching you react to your old self too hahahaha
A doorstop was single handedly the most useful purchase I made in first year, obviously with the exception of a few the majority of halls buildings have fire doors and if you want to make friends in first year in your flat or highlight when you're door open bother me door closed do not disturb it's the golden damn ticket
It’s amazing seeing how much your confidence has grown! 💕
:) x
Great video, I definitely related to the bringing too much stuff for first year! I would love to watch a video about how you organised your time at uni - whether you used calendar apps or planner/diary, tips on fitting in time to study around lectures and social events etc. Thanks! ❤
You guys measure shots? Think Newcastle missed that memo..
watching your reactions was so funny!!! thankfully when i went to uni i don’t think i did too badly with overpacking, though i didn’t need quite as much kitchen stuff as i bought. what me and my flat mates did was when we were all moved in, we went shopping together for some stuff like a full length mirror and split the cost. definitely recommend that. also extension leads, 100% agree they’re essentiallll. command hooks and strips are also an absolute must if you’re like me and have loads of posters and fairy lights. and my fave reed diffuser is the pink lemonade one from primark!
Laughed so much in this video!! I would love a year 11 video, survival guide, tips, tricks, regrets, etc... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I found a doorstop sooo useful as our halls had fire doors, which I assumed was the norm for all uni halls...? I used a slotted spoon utensil all the time as well as bottle opener! Also, anyone considering a kettle - wait until you know your uni rules as ours didn’t let us have kettles, mini fridges, candles or bleach, so could potentially be a waste of money! I honestly think a lot of things can wait until you move in so you know the space you have and can speak to your flat mates about sharing some things. E.g. No point getting a wardrobe storage thing if your wardrobe is tiny!
All other tips are really good, especially having an Ikea laundry bag, a vase, shot glasses, reed diffuser, and greenery (fake plants are so worth it!) as loads of people won’t consider getting those things.
BUT a printer was my best investment purchase - I used it through all 3 years at uni and saved me so many times as I didn’t have to trudge to the library just to print out lecture notes or an essay!
“A SLATTED SPOON” that’s a fecking mood
I'm new to your channel but I'd love to see more Uni content! Getting organised after a break, study with me, etc. I love those!!
“Study with me”/ “day in the life” videos please💖 I know you’ve done that sort of stuff before but it’s just really motivating especially at the start of the term when we’re all trying to get back into a good routine! Xx
I know it’s very easy to get overexcited and buy too much before uni but it’s definitely helpful to hold off until you’re there. Once you’re there you can see who has what and what you need to contribute to the flat. I managed to go through uni without buying a single pan because our household did not need 10 pans! Definitely see what everyone else has first!!
Even though I am not a uni student, this will really be helpful to know what I really need for my dorm when I go to uni in two years because I know I am that person who packs her whole house when going to uni or even when traveling 😂😂😂 plus I know most of my stuff to bring for uni will be stationery. Congrats on 200k and love you so much.
Lmaooooooo trust me! Thank you x
Eve Bennett no problem and love your videos, can’t wait for the next one 😇
I go in like two weeks and I am 2018 Eve 😂
I’m rewatching all your uni vlogs and getting so excited to start at Cambridge in October! I’ve decided to vlog my time at uni as well now 😂💕
I am starting my fourth year in uni this september, and I kinda know what I should or shouldn't bring, I always watch your videos Eve! Can't miss any of them haha. Hope you'll have an amazing second year, enjoy every minute of it. Time really flies when you're enjoying yourself. Huge love from a Hungarian med student ❤️
Thank you so much x
I'm going into my second year, and it's my first year in accommodation as i commuted last year. As i am extra, i brought a load of crap, mostly to make my room cosy. Why do i need 4 display pillows and a throw? Idk but they look cute. I went crazy in the worlds biggest Primark and had a load of rubbish gifted to me.
Last year, i found a printer necessary as i am studying History we get given a lot of sources to read which i found easier to print off. It was cheaper to use my own printer which is the same one that you brought and buy XL compatible ink from cartridge people. I also started using two laptops, as i like to game i used my 15 inch laptop for gaming and i used an old 11 inch laptop for uni work as i found it easier to take to lectures and carry around with me as it fitted nicely in my handbag and was not heavy at all. This is not a necessity of all, it just suited me. I prefer to write my notes on paper, but as i have a medical condition that affects my arms i cannot write as quick as i would like, so if the lecture slides were available online i would get them up on my laptop if i fell behind the lecturers pace. I also found a USB helpful as then i could use either of my laptops or a uni computer.
If you have a medical condition that could affect your studies in any way, even if you don't think it will affect your studies, let your university know. I didn't think i would qualify for anything, but i get extra time in exams and for assignments, i am allowed to stop the clock and take a break in exams, and i am allowed to take my exam on a computer. Even though i do not claim it, you can also get disabled students allowance.
I'd also suggest a folder for each module, and a notebook for each module isn't exactly necessary. My uni teaches 3 modules per semester so this year i am using a 10 subject notebook from paperchase for my first semester then i will see how i get along with that and reassess what i need for my second semester.
Uni is about living and learning.
I think it was me who requested this video...I mean, I definitely requested it, but someone else might have sent a similar suggestion!
I'm going into second year myself, also brought so much crap with me, and knew if I were to post a yt video it would have to be something like this just to shame myself ngl
I'm so glad you filmed it I laughed so much and 100% relate😹
Take a first Aid Kit and Medicine that you need like Aspirin or Tablettes against allergy because I currently moved and forgot all of these and they’re freaking expensive when you have to buy them with your „own“ money 🙂
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a video on applying for student accommodation!!!! Like when to apply, how to know which one is right for you etc. It’d be so useful. I’m so stressed about it !
love this video! id really like to see a video on choosing unis and visiting/ open days
I am currently packing to move to Ox earlier (this is a technically productive break!) than the start of freshers and I am CREASING. Possibly my fave video of yours Eve😂
I absolute love this video eve you’re such a mood, love you😂❤️
I just watched the video you reacted to a few days a go since I know i passed now... was intimidated by how much you got then, so I'm glad you made this now :D
Eve, I know this is unrelated but I've been watching your videos since the summer before year 10 and somehow got straight 9s in my GCSEs this week! Your results day videos and study with mes motivated me so much and your advice was incredibly helpful - I can't thank you enough 💕
Bloody hell thats fantastic!
Wow that's so good !! ♥️
@@RevisionWithEve thank you ❤️ I'm going to apply for UNIQ this year and hopefully oxford next year, fingers crossed I'll get in 🤞
"i bought a potato masher" lol. This is funny.
By the way, your makeup looks great and love the top you're wearing. X
Eve you are literally glowing 😍😍
Awww thank you s
An inflatable mattress is always a great shout! Also I would say 3 sets of bed sheets :) for the kettle check with the uni rules because some say not to have a kettle in your room because of mold.
I’ve just moved into my room in college and my college has a really useful printing idea because I don’t have a printer near me. You essentially send the printer what you want to print and when you pass a printer wherever on the campus you just swipe your card and it’ll print it out
Maggie Tighe that’s actually really really clever! You could have everything ready to print, click go and go swipe ya card
Quick thing about door wedge! I took one to my halls and we weren’t allowed to use them because in fire doors they have stuff around the edge of the door and a doorstop would ruin it but we could use door stops!
I love the brutal honesty in this video.
OMG I was thinking of making something similar to this but you beat me to it! Videos like this are SO important and could save a hell of a lot of time and money, not to mention resources! I really like this anti-haul type of video, Eve! 😊
I'd love a video on how to take good(!) and effective lecture notes :)
Omg this was my comment!! Thank you so much it was so helpful! Love you and your videos as always xxxx
Proof. Dm eve
@@aliya282 why dya care jesus
omg i love this video! it is so realistic and extremely helpful
Love the brummy accent coming back😍💪
ME TOOOOO I HATE HOW FLUID MY ACCENT IS
@@RevisionWithEve dw the same thing happens to me aswell 😅
I was so glad that when I went to uni I bought good quality items that I still use now since moving out. I am so happy I didn't bring loads, it was crazy seeing how much other people brought. You clearly learnt quickly though!
You are glowing in this video Eve!!! ❤️❤️
Check what you have already in your accommodation. I was given a plate set and we already had a kettle. With things that you only need one of, check if anyone else has brought them either before (FB) or when you get there. Kitchen things vary so much depending on what you eat (if you're vegan or veggie, you'll probs cook more as ready meals tend to be rarer and more expensive) and cooking for yourself can mean you can cook for a lot cheaper.
One thing I'm so glad I got was a mini portable heater. It got really got in my room as the main heater was really old and didn't work properly and the windows were crap for insulation. I used it so much (it was also a fan if it was too warm, so would recommend that if where you're going has a reputation for getting cold.
If in doubt, don't buy it beforehand but if you do find you need it, buy it somewhere cheap when you're there.
Can you talk about student finance, maintenance loan, and how to budget. Love you♥
Godsend !! Been waiting for a video like this because I’m SUCH an overpacker so I really appreciate it :-)) also was just funny to watch you take the piss out of your first year self hahah
I’ve just finished year 1 also living in halls...OMG I loved using that liquid stick sponge, so much better than just a normally sponge. Deffo worth getting one! X
How you plan your week ? Aka what planner you use, how you plan when to study etc . Loved the video btw xx
Just wanted to add that if you aren’t catered, a lot of these things actually are helpful! I only found out who my flatmates were on the day I moved in, so I did need to buy my own kitchen stuff and we didn’t choose to share our utensils as a flat :)
Would disagree with the tea towel we had around 20 and somehow you still couldn’t find a clean one
I think it's because you had 20
I went to uni a year before Eve and I remember watching her haul and thinking you are going to regret all of that! There honestly isn’t enough space for it😂
A wok! Everyone in my flat used the wok almost every single night. We were self catered but decided to each cook for everyone one night a week. Also 100% agree with the washing up sponge.
A video about good habits to get into for the school year would be great (like doing notes straight after class etc)
this is so helpful oml!! starting my uni shopping as we speak and my mother will thank you for cutting down my list hahaha
I am so glad!
Kitchen essentials if you’re self catered:
- baking tray (possibly 2)
- saucepan (lid not really necessary)
- frying pan
- multiple cutlery sets (they will go missing - would recommend Poundland)
- 1 sharp knife (not a full set)
- chopping board
- multiple mugs/glasses
- 2 bowels, 2 small plates and 2 large (though not the really large plates)
- colander
In general don’t buy expensive stuff there’s a high chance it might get broken xx
Agree. I’d say think about what you will use at uni and what you eat to decide what to bring. Also for saucepan I would say to definitely have a lid as it speeds up the process of water boiling faster
True! Yeah I just didn't use mine as the hob was so slow we'd boil water in the kettle to use aha
I would say one round pizza pan and one rectangular one.
Also, you should have two cutting boards, one for meat and one for veg.
I would love a video on what you do in your societies. Would be so cool to see what u do at the Cherwell, Midlanders soc etc.
I'm about to start shopping for uni in September and this is so helpful ❤️
💓
Such a good video idea 💗 thanks for doing this!
I'm waiting for Eve to get copyright strikes for unfair use of her own content. CZcams really kicking ass these days...
This is perfect timing, I’m going to IKEA next week and I’m so excited 😂
awww u look so much happier now than u did before, i'm so proud xoxo
ahhh ty x
Thank you for this!! Finding your channel was the best thing ever... I'm starting at LMH in october and your videos have been supaaa helpful (im less nervous now lol)
Omg are you!!! Girl drop me a line on insta or Twitter I can answer any Q’s you have!!!
@@RevisionWithEve thank you so much!!!!!x
Could you do a video on the stationary/school supplies you need at uni or is it literally the same as what you need in A levels? Also how you organise notes for uni would be great xxx
Tablet/ laptop is essential, making notes on there will be easier and quicker and probably record lectures in case you miss anything
You roasting yourself is a mood 😂
Hi Eve loved the video I was laughing so much😂could you please do a video on how to make notes/revise for uni I always see vids for a level notes but not uni. Also I’m not sure if typing of writing notes in lectures is better but I don’t know if it depends on the individual ? 😁
I’ve just started watching this but wow you’re GLOWING here!
Would disagree with the tea towel we had around 20 and somehow you still couldn’t find a clean one
Have been waiting for this for sooo long!!! Thx so much.
Ps I did request this in a previous video, dunno if u were talking about me or not 💕
Thanks to whoever came up with this idea it’s such a good one
please do a video on how your prepared for year 13 work wise and also dealing with uni application process and also open day top tips xxx
Moving out in third year was AWFUL with so many little bits of things because you accumulate stuff whilst you are there too😫
Omg it’s lethal isn’t it
Y’all should see what happens after you’ve graduated. I have a dedicated corner in my childhood bedroom to uni junk
I was scrolling through your past videos and this is exactly what I was hoping you would do! Thank you ☺️
💓
learning from mistakes so that we don't have to make them is one of the best things eve has given us omg
Amazing video, Eve! Absolutely LOVE your content! :)
This video is really entertaining as well as informative. Going to uni in a month. Thanks!!
first ❤️ also this was quite entertaining to watch and will be useful to people going to uni this year ✨
I’m so glad it’s helpful!
in terms of decor can really really recommend postcards as well as photos - you can have loads and they are super easy to bring with you to uni because they are so small, and they make your room really look personal to you and super cute :) my postcards were my favourite thing about my uni room. also that diffuser 100% YES, suuuuch a great thing to have in your room - my friends were always telling me my room smelled amazing!! one other thing, can recommend buying another lamp. uni rooms only tend to give you one lamp and sometimes it's not enough if your room is dark or if you want one on your desk and one by your bed. I found my second lamp absolutely essential!!!
Oooh a lamp is a shout!!!
How do you put the postcards up around the room? Assuming you’re not allowed to use blutack on the walls..? xx
@@hettiemoorcroft7533 I had a massive noticeboard in my room so I pinned them up on that :)
I'm actually howling at your reaction to the random stuff you bought, especially the slotted spoon ahahahaha xx
dead hahaha
