Little Dreamer Poet

Things I wish I did at the start of my degree:

(Disclaimer I am an English Literature student who minored in creative writing so some of these may be specific)

1. Made a reading chart

2. Noted down at the end of the lecture or the seminar a reminder of the work that was set.

3. Emailed my lecturers to discuss assessment ideas. Seriously, I only started doing this in second year as I believed they weren’t allowed to help me but honestly it really helps (and they can point you in the right direction!)

4. Peer review friends essays (this really helps if it makes sense to them, it should make sense to the marker)

5. Sorted out my referencing issues in first year- one is my lecturers in final year gave us a sheet she gives first years and it cleared up so much! Don’t let yourself lose marks for it and end it with a full stop.

6. Engaged more with my classes. I often feel like I turned up because I had to. Try and find something interesting about each topic.

7. Office hours (did I mention them?). I was lucky with my lecturers that they were flexible.

8. Don’t discredit yourself. You’ll work super hard on a paper and it won’t pay off. That DOES NOT mean you didn’t work hard.

9. A healthy sleep cycle. I know it’s hard. But let your body rest. Go for walks, eat the food you want to eat.

10. Study sessions! I get incredibly demotivated so easily and struggle to focus. If I can’t study with a friend, I try the 25 mins work and 5 min break. Sometimes you have a break for hours. That’s okay. You’re trying.

- a visual hug to all university students right now!

Sometimes I wonder if our whole relationship was nothing more than a dream I had once… a dream so pleasant that waking up from it felt painfully jarring, like being taken from a warm comforting bed and plunged into a bath of ice. Perhaps that is all it ever was… one of those dreams where months go by, but in reality, last only minutes. It would be so easy to give up living in exchange for sleeping and I’ll admit that for a while I did. And still there are days I wish nothing more than to fall back asleep, compelled by the thought that I could live a lifetime with you if I only close my eyes and dream it… But it’s time for me to get up now… for I have been asleep far too long and there’s still so much living left to do.

You were a bright blue balloon. And they say that blue is the most calming colour. The kind of colour that lends you both shoulders. That says, come in, sit down, stay, don’t cry, I love you. I loved you. In that unspoken way. That understood way. The way our smiles would meet from across the room and we’d know. But now my lips tremble. Because with every laugh you lured from my throat I forgot; that blue is sad colour too. It’s the colour that drowning sailors see last. The colour of loss… But I tell myself that balloons belong to the sky. And it makes it easier to say goodbye.
