Good luck with your tasks! The idea of blank slots is a good idea. I never set myself a timetable because I just don't stick to it but it seem to work for you. What do you want to study at uni?

The blank slots help me to do the things I planned in case I procrastinated somewhere. I am able to stick to it because I gave myself almost double of the time I would need so I can be lazy for 15 minutes. It's half term! You don't have to be that strict to yourself right?

I'm hoping to do psychology in uni. What about you?

Wow! You have so much more structure to your schedule, Ngl I envy that. Unfortunately, I struggle sticking to a rigid routine. Sorry to hear about the raw chicken, improvement will come in time

Btw tag me please

Hey there smart peeps. I have just sent my UCAS application to my school this morning and got some time to spare after a hectic week of last-minute redrafting my personal statement. Why not make a GYG blog just to motivate myself?





My AS Year...


was a disaster . At least when it had just started. I didn't know how to revise for A levels (Chemistry, Biology and Maths) , didn't understand what the teacher was talking about and I was not used to being a boarder at school. I missed home a lot and that distracted me a lot. I was (and is) aiming for As and A*s but I was getting Bs and Ds in my tests instead.
In November, though, I found the way to balance my studies and other stuff. I began to score A*s in Chemistry and Maths and A in Biology.



My A2 year...


is much much better. Now that I am predicted with A*A*A* (which I am really proud of), I hope I will be able to maintain that despite the little step up from year 12 to year 13.
Aside from school, I am also hoping I would stay physically and mentally healthy this year, keeping myself from being over stressed. Unlike last year where I had a huge mental breakdown.




My 5 University Choices:




Future Plans:


I will be doing psychology in university. I know a lot of people who did psychology would become a clinical psychologists or pursue some subject-related works. I have not decided my career path yet but I know that I wouldn't want to become a psychologist and would definitely love to work in an airline company. Probably because my mom works in one and the benefits is too good to be true. (Imagine flying to another country with 1/10th of the ticket's price.)


Recent Goals for October:





I am excited to embark on this 10 month journey to A levels exam! I literally cannot wait until A levels are over and going to university.

Ask me anything if you have any questions on your UCAS application! I will try my best to answer it. If you have a GyG blog as well that you want me to check it out, leave the link below.

I will try to post my updates daily but then with all the work coming up I cannot make any promises. See you soon!

Loool how are you already on homeostasis in biology . We just finished photosynthesis and moving onto respiration

No worries. I don't think we will do photosynthesis and respiration until a month later. What exam board do you do? Seems like each exam board place their chapters very differently.

Doing AQA. So far in A2 we have done ecological techniques and ecosystems, nutrient cycles (nitrogen and phosphorus) and photosynthesis

Ooooh, I haven't done any of those. But I wish there are no ecology related topics, they are kind of weird to be studied in biology? Btw do you have a Gyg blog? I would love to check it out.
