The Current Year 13 Thread 2016-2017

hmmm well update on life since i can and since no-one is obliged to read it anyway

finding things quite difficult atm and tbh idek why.
Well i do
but the reason may sound arrogant
so if it does i apologise.

Doing very well at one of my subjects in particular due to the tonne of work i did for it over the summer. In comparison my other 2 subjects dont seem as good even tho ik logically they are but ive set this impossibly high standard for them and it's only been 3 days and the teachers are already telling me to chill out but idk how to bc the ideas for the projects are always in my head.

Thankfully A2 history looks easier than AS as the examination style seems easier there is just more to remember bc linear.

also does anyone else feel like they have acquired another subject AKA personal statement/university studies :/
thankfully most of that is already done but why is everyone magically an expert on things they acc know nothing about

'do this Cavy', 'Dont go there Cavy it isn't prestigious enough', 'You waste yourself Cavy cos u could do anything and u want to do a creative subject at uni'

can u all kindly back off

did i ask for ur opinion on my life.
unless u are sufficiently qualified to do so stop bloody commenting bc u are all gonna make me have a nervous breakdown due to my self doubt.



hope everyone is well fellow 13eeners

if you WANT do a creative subject at uni, dont let anyone put you off. ok I know creative subjects tend to have a bad reputation. Some people don't understand that things change, especially through developments in technology, so it still has a scientific side to it.

Luckily my school/family are really supportive of me, as they know that what I want to do will enable me to use my strengths to the best of my ability.

Youll be great at whatever you do go for it!

To those who are doing linear courses have you started to revise or thinking of starting soon?
Im currently doing my last years content in frees that i have and doing this years at home. Just wondering how others are approaching this

How did you guys find your first day back in year 13? I start tomorrow and i'm kind of nervous but idk why.
I also cba for an assembly at 8:30 am followed by an hour of tutor time
Sixth form have also messed up my timetable and I'm part of two maths classes and two physics classes... I guess i'll find out which ones I'm actually a part of tomorrow. I'm hoping that I'm in the physics class that has a double on Monday morning and no more lessons for the whole day. The other class has a double in the afternoon which means i'll be waiting around all morning. Lol first world problems.

With tears.

Just joking, I'll probably just keep reviewing the stuff frequently throughout the year. My only linear one for this year is Lit, so I'll just re-read the books/plays and review my notes periodically.

Yeah I'm planning to slot in a bit of AS each week in my study schedule - though I am not sure if I should re-write notes or just read then do questions

Makes sense, you not going to make any new notes?

Not really, I have nothing to add to them.

My form tutor is so prompt with replying to my personal statement yaaaaaa #blessed

Mine is too! I'm so grateful to have her as she has been doing the job for years and she can always get most people into uni! She does seem to remove things which I feel are vital so I have extra copies floating around other members of staff just to be safe XD

Exactly the same here! Some teachers have got back to me before others so it's fun seeing what each teacher wants to be taken out

Aren't we technically in year 13, seeing as last year has already finished?

ANYWAY...

Have people visited the uni's they would like to go to yet?
How are your personal statements getting along?
What subjects are you currently studying and, what do you hope to study at uni (give the 5 uni's you want to go to)

I've only been predicted AAA for A2 . I think Cambridge is out of the window

What course would you like to do at Cambridge???

Law, it's an A*AA course
