Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

No idea where my life is heading

I am 18 years old and go to Nottingham Uni where I study accounting and finance. My twin brother seems to be doing very well in his studies (Acturial Science - CASS business school). Recently I've started to feel depressed and lonely at uni as I've seen how much of a contrast our lives have. Whilst I'm lonely he's getting girls and grades and I'm finding it hard to cope with my degree.

Any help as how to motivate myself to do better? I feel as thought life just isn't worth living.

I know it can be difficult but try not to compare yourself to your brother and just focus on you. You're different people and comparing yourself to him won't help you.

With regards to you feeling lonely, have you got many friends or are you part of any societies? If not maybe that would help. Since you're struggling with your course maybe doing some group study with your course mates might help too? As it can help you both with your course and grades and with making friends to tackle your loneliness :smile:
