Share your thoughts and experiences below and let's help each other navigate the next few months!

Here are some questions to help you get started:

•

What subjects are you studying for your GCSEs, A-Levels or equivalent?

•

Did you make any new friends? How did you break the ice?

•

What are your goals for the next year? whether that’s to do with your studies or otherwise!

Every experience is unique and sharing these can provide encouragement and helpful tips for others in similar situations. So, whether your first days back were a breeze or a bit of a rollercoaster, let’s hear about them!

With a bachelor's degree, you are not a postgraduate. You are a graduate.

Had a anxiety attack after maths- first lesson so they did a recap of knowledge and after that threw in the fact that we have a 1 hour test tomorrow, aka our second lesson. Led to me missing politics as i was overwhelmed. So to answer that question, things are going great😊

year 11 is just as bad as I expected we’ve only been in for a week but it feels like we’ve done enough work for a term 😭
also the teacher keep reminding us every lesson that we’ve only got a few months till gcses which makes it even more stressful

Year 13 just started and totally not going well. I've got to sort out my EPQ and personal statement by the end of September/beginning of October. Mocks coming up in November. Absolutely stressed out. Oh and if that's not enough for my stress levels, I do Physics, Chemistry and Maths at A- Levels. Currently on a D in Physics and looking to do Aerospace Engineering at Uni. I know, it's funny. My whole life has been a joke anyways :wink:

Good luck to all of you out there and hope y'all do well!

It's been going well so far for me! I'm in year 12 and I'm loving sixth form so far. I love the common room because I feel like I'm socialising more and I've made friends with a couple of new girls at my school and they're both so lovely! I'm studying Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Computer Science - I'm not getting too much homework as of yet and I quite like my teachers! My goal for the next year is to be consistent in my studies while also ensuring that I'm in good health!
