Yes you will be absolutely fine if you start from day 1. how early you start isn't the limiting factor. It's how interested you are, and how motivated you are to learn new things!


Yep I have serious problems with motivation. I have only done night before/on the day revision for all my exams so far but they have suprisingly gone really well!

I keep telling myself I will NOT do this next year as if I do this little work next year I will definitely get U's!
Honestly the world is your oyster. You really haven't put much thought into this cos I've come up with all these ideas already:

Go shopping
Go to theme parks
Eat out with friends and family
Trips to the park when the weather is nice
Travel to new places
Visit friends and family
Start a blog or other creative passion - writing, knitting etc
Get involved in public classes/groups - fitness, dance etc
Go to the gym
Play sports
Go to festivals
Volunteering - you don't need to be 16 to do this

And on top of that, you can watch TV/films and play games in your down time.

Same! I haven't even counted how many weeks i have yet lol. Soooooo excited. Exactly, the only book i'll be reading is the atlas or some weird fanfiction crap. Cheers, all the best to you too, we're nearly there :flower2: x

I feel so excited too- it is literally the only thing that is getting me through revision and exams!
In fact I am so excited that I am so happy nowadays, even when I am doing exams.... I really can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Ahahah!! Yup same i'm soo bored of history, trying to revise it now :/ i know what you mean tho, exams can be relaxing..... ironically.

But yeah Omg it's gonna be incredible, like i think we have to have a positive mindset about all the time we have. So much freedom. I'm also doing NCS if you've heard of it which is terrifying but exciting!!!!!

Yeah I have heard of NCS! I am not doing it but it does look amazing! Like you said It is good to have a positive mindset- but my friends think I am crazy because i am just so happy and chilled... and everyone else is stressing out.
I think the amount of freedom we have is the most exciting bit!!!

Hope you enjoy NCS!:biggrin: What kind of things will you do?

Cool! I'm going with my friends so it should be less intimidating haha. You're not crazy :tongue: It's good to b chill, ever thought they might be slightly crazy for being stressed? Ikr, once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm also going to do running, hopefully i can keep it up! Thanks, I'm sure it'll be good. Not really sure tbh, i think we go to Scotland to do water sports, (canoeing). But it's 4 weeks so we also stay in a uni for a week, then volunteering :smile:
