Received a grade on an outline I submitted back in November and I received a first. I'm happy with that, yay c:

Freshers Fair is like the worst thing ever as a non-fresher.

Can't wait to spend the rest of the week dodging corporate businesses trying to sell me things I don't need and trying to not pass out in over crowded rooms

5/9/19 This time last year, I had just finished doing my exams in the summer, after deferring them from June to August as I had a mental breakdown and lost my ability to read. After the isolation at Bristol, studying while all my friends enjoyed their summers, I spent evenings waiting for autumn... This was me looking back over my notes for my final exam of that year. xx Emily

University Tips:

Keep a calendar and stay on top of your schedule!

Make a timetable of your classes/seminars

Check emails often

Don’t skip lectures!

Sit in the front row. This will make you focus and help your lecturers remember you - which is actually more important than people think

Build a good relationship with your lecturers AND peers

Visit your professors’ office hours regularly and have catch ups

Go to the library to study! You’ll be more distracted trying to study at home/in your room. If you have to study in your room- turn your phone off

It’s okay to not want to party like everyone else :)

Write down your notes in lectures and type them up after

Join a society/club! This will make sure you have a great work-social life balance, and give you the opportunity to learn something new at least once a week

Colour code notes

It’s just as important not to overwork yourself as it is not to procrastinate (too much)

Keep your desk clean and organised! 

Try to get a good night’s sleep the night before lectures and have a good breakfast in the morning. You will be more focused for it

Keep a journal of your experiences and ambitions

Go to counseling services. UK Universities will have counselling services that can tackle anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Your well-being is as important as your grades

Your degree doesn’t define you. You still have time to explore your options. You don’t have to know what you want to be right now. University is about developing yourself as it is finding a career.

Don’t burn bridges with your friends/loved ones at home. They will be there for you should you need to go home

Live on or near campus. This will save money and give you a sense of belonging

Eat well!
