for anon! colors are ones i associate with sleepiness.

flag id: the left flag has a very dark faded blue background. at the left, top, and right edges of the flag is a caramel brown frame made up of somewhat thin stripes. at the bottom edge, covering up the frame at the bottom of the left and right sides, is a book shape made up of two shallow curves that dip down and meet in the center. the shape is cream and has a thin, dark faded blue outline at its top edge. over the background and above the book, emerging from the frame, are three pencil-like shapes made up of a long rectangle with a thin triangle at the end. the first and third ‘pencils’ point to the left and the second pencil points to the right. the first pencil is faded indigo, the second is periwinkle, and the third is very light pink-purple.

the right flag has a light brown frame around the left, top, and right edges. within that frame is a much thinner, dark faded blue frame along the same sides. within the thin frame is a large cream rectangle, which has a thin, vertical, very light pink-purple stripe near its left edge and four evenly-spaced, thin, horizontal, periwinkle stripes down its length, making it look like a sheet of notebook paper. between the first and second horizontal stripes and the third and fourth horizontal stripes are thin, wavy, very dark faded blue lines. between the second and third horizontal stripes is a faded indigo, pencil-like shape made up of a long rectangle with a thin triangle at its left end. the pointy end of the pencil overlaps the vertical line. end id.

banner id: a 1600x200 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting. those on my / dni may still use my terms, so do not recoin them.’ in large white text in the center. the text takes up two lines, split at the slash. end id.

[what-i-actually-learned]

What I actually learned from the Tale of Sir Gareth of Orkney? The lady is angry because she’s a bitch.

Also, I clearly had trouble staying awake this day. Not only is my handwriting the product of eyes-half-closed-but-i-still-wanna-look-like-i’m-taking-notes concentration, but I even left myself a helpful note the sixth line down saying “serious hard [not] to fall asleep” with the “not” added in via a little carrot. Sleepy me, you are thorough!

Starting School/College/University

Ok so in the past few weeks some of you may have just started a new school or are just heading off to University, this is a scary time but also a really exciting one. I imagine that this is one of the few times everyone experiences mixed feelings.

So advice, EVERYONE experiences these feelings, meaning that you are not alone, you may think everyone has loads of friends already but no one has too many friends, I have never experienced or seen a situation where someone turns to someone new and says “I don’t want to be friends, I have too many” and if some does say that or something similar do you really want to be friends with someone so arrogant, because I wouldn’t. If you are worried about a subject and how hard it’ll be, remember that the teacher know this and they plan the year so that the harder topics are nearer the end of the year so you will probably go into you first class of any subject and find it is at a similar level to the last class of your school before and the difficulty will increase as time goes on slowly so you may not even notice when you start the harder topics and if you do start stuggeling then ask, there is no harm in being stuck, my mother’s classroom has an inspirational wall and one of the quotes is along the lines of “A good learner knows when to ask for help and bad learner struggles alone” and this is a good quote because it says that even if you are stuck and you ask for help you are still good student. I know I struggled to ask for help but when I started my GCSE (age 14-16) I realized that if I don’t suck up my pride I was going to end up failing my exams and at the end of the day my pride would suffer more for failing an exam all because I didn’t get help then the actual asking for help, I do still struggle with this but I am trying to improve my ability to admit I don’t understand.

So if you are starting University, your anxieties may be based on different things. For example you could be moving out on your own or never studied the subject before. Well if it’s a new subject then like I said earlier the lecturers know this and will start with the basics and are always available to support you however you are expected to be more independent so there are a couple of websites I can recommend to get the basic or answers to your question, they are www.google .com and www.wikipedia .org, enjoy.

Moving out however is probably new to you, maybe you have never really been to the city before, maybe you don’t know anyone who can call that city home, maybe you have never been away from home for longer than 48 hours before. Homesickness is common in first year university however it can hit at any point in the first couple of months, I myself experienced it after fresher’s week so 2 weeks after leaving home because to someone who had never had a holiday last longer than 2 weeks, it felt to me that it was now time to go home because I had my holiday and it dawned on me that my parents would not be coming to pick me up and boom, homesickness. This seems to be a fairly common point however within my 8 flatmates we all experienced it at different times, on girl experienced it on her second night, I believe this was because of an un-expectant visit from her parents because she had forgot her ID. Another housemate didn’t experience it until they went home one weekend at the beginning of November because they realized how much their home life had changed “home was not home” and suddenly they felt they had nowhere to call home. Whenever homesickness kicks in there are tips to get through it, my own include keeping yourself busy doing something, work/societies/sports/partying it doesn’t matter at all. Another tip is to not plan a trip home until after you have set up a life at University, because leaving home again will be easier if you have something at Uni to look forward to, be it an event with an society or a sport fixture or just some good friends.  A thing to remember is you will get over it and that how long you suffer or how long it takes to actually experience it doesn’t reflect on anything.  If you feel you need to talk about it or you feel it is really bad or gone on too long, my ask box is open but you may want to try and talk to the counsellor at you university. However something to remember is that while you may feel fine, your parent/guardians might not especially if you are the last/only child because your parents will probably experience the empty nest syndrome and may be missing you, this is the biggest thing I would change about my first year, I didn’t phone my mother and father enough and it was only after I realized how much my lack of communication affected them and in this day and age there is really no excuse as a quick text can take only a couple of minutes and can make them feel so much more happier  

School and University can be the best years of your life and there is nothing to be scared or nervous about, now if only I followed that myself.

  Enjoy the new experiences.

My first Blog

Hi, well this is my first blog. My name is Rhiannon Daye and I’m currently a 3rd year Psychology student at Bangor University in North Wales, though I’m from Birmingham, England. I am 20 years old and I thought I’d start a blog about my experiences in education and give advice to those going through it.

Now Rhiannon why do you think you are qualified to do this, you may wonder, well truth is I’m not however I have experienced the school system and the best elements of it and the worst elements of it plus my mother is a secondary school teacher and a good number of her friends are as well and I have been fortunate to do 10 weeks work experiences at 2 different schools over 4 years along with my own schools, which means I have the unique advantage to see all sides of the school systems. I also looked over the internet and found that there were no places for this sort of thing. Knowing that Tumblr has a lot of students and seeing comments and complaints about education all over my own personal dashboard I thought it would be good if I started this blog to have a place where those sort of things can go.

I have never experienced education in other countries other than Great Britain but it can’t be so different, If you have questions then please ask away, I will try and keep my general advice generalized to all countries but if you have a specific question about your own country please let me know what country and I will see if I could still help. If you wish for the question to be answered privately this is also possible so just let me know.

My ask box is always open and I can’t promise when or how often I will post especially around exam period because I’m in my final year at University so I may get busy around then. Any suggestions about what I could post about are also welcome in the suggestion box.

This blog is going to be based on what I would have wanted to know when I was still going through school and college and as someone whose life has been devoted to education and is coming to the end of my time in it I also wish to look back and help everyone still experiencing education if I can.
