THE END IS NEAR | Newsletter T3W8

Sun 14 Jun Newsletter

WE'RE ALMOST THERE. JUST one more WEEK. P L E A S E let me out of this hell loop of revision.

I have formal languages tomorrow, and I'm praying it Dmitry shows some mercy. I've heard that the average drops for every module he touches. FAAAAAHHHH. First years, you guys are lucky to not have Dmitry. Right now, I fear for my life.

Nevertheless, I can see the end. I will use the shred of will I have left to pump my life out tomorrow and logic my way through on Wednesday.

Anyways, if anyone here is feeling as horrified about your life trajectory as I am right now, we have WELFARE!!!

💜 Welfare Notice

UWCS has three Welfare Officers: Willow (Discord: moshimoo), Kevin (Discord: yummycatfood), and Erica (Discord: heldesar). They can also be reached via their email inbox at welfare@uwcs.co.uk.

You can speak to them at any time via Discord, email, and in person, for advice, signposting, and support. This can be for navigating the uni's support services, disclosing inappropriate or concerning behaviour at one of our events, and much more.

Any discussions you have with them will be treated sensitively. They will not share details more widely without your permission, except where they believe there is a serious risk of harm, a safeguarding concern, or another situation where they are required to escalate.

🎮 Friday Night Gaming (7pm to 1am) 🎮

🕖 Fri 19th Jun 7pm - 1am 📍 CS0.03

Unlimited stress I mean games!!

Friday Nights. Gaming. FNG. That's all we've known. PCs, consoles, VR, snacks and drinks. The pinnacle. The untoppable and unstoppable force. Sometimes you must choose between the last U1 and continuing Never Gonna Give You Up on Clone Hero. Your home for some beats? Aye, a worthy sacrifice.

Join us in DCS every Friday from 7pm, until we close our doors at 1am due to exam season.

The Gaming Coordinators this year are: Raven, Laina, Luna, Santiago and Maddie - if you need help or just wanna yap, come find us :)

We have our DCS account login - any game (including via Steam!) that you can get running, you can play. We also have several consoles, including Xboxes, PS4, Switch 1 & 2, Wii, along with our PCs which I call Nuke Machine and Microwave, which you can use our Valve Index on, play Clone Hero, and more! We also have board games for anybody wanting a less tech-based way to enjoy games :)

Important: FNG is a sober event, please don't bring alcohol in, or you will be asked to leave.

Also Important: Make sure to tidy up after yourself before leaving, the department does a great kindness in letting us run this event, preferably we stay on their good side!

Hope to see you there :3 (Note: you don't have to be a DCS student to come along!)

🍹🍺 The Final Pub Traversal... of the year 🍺🍹

🕖 Sat 20th Jun 7pm - 12am 📍 Terrace Bar

Drink away all the pent up emotions here!!

Term 3, exams, and infinite pain and suffering has FINALLY ENDED! For now...

So what do we do in this situation? That's right, a PUB TRAVERSAL!!!

The route is to be confirmed as of yet, but be ready!! It's gonna be a big one.

🧗 Climbing 🧗

🕔 Sun 21st Jun 5pm - 8pm 📍 Warwick Sports Hub

Remove your plastic rocks withdrawal symptoms here.

UWCS goes climbing at the Sports Hub Climbing wall. You must complete registration and do an induction at the wall in order to climb https://warwick.ac.uk/services/sport/climbing/

Come along for some fun social climbing, meet friends and climbing partners, compete in fun challenges, and have a good time!

Friends, members, nerds, lend me your ears; I come to bury our exams, not to praise them. The evil that exam papers do lives after them; So let it be with the grading curve.

I believe in my coffee, sharp and strong; I believe in Irene, who wants to overthrow a president (not really); But most of all, I believe in you.

Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with my sanity, And I must pause till it come back to me.

Good luck. See you on the other side everyone.
