Ideas for a uni student to do over the summer

Got my results, just missed out on a 2:1 in my first year by 1% anyone have any ideas of what to do over the summer?

Don't worry. 1st year doesn't count. I got 40s and low-mid 50s in my 1st year. Throughout the years, I steadily improved into mid-high 60s and graduated with an Upper 2:1. So don't worry about that.

Just relax now. Perhaps look for a part-time job? Catch up on some TV series; see friends from uni and home? Even pick up a book, if you enjoy reading.

Get back the time you lost during 1st year by doing the stuff you used to do when you had time!

Thank you, I was a bit concerned, for the year in industry which I'm hoping to do, they say I need at least a 2.1 in both my first and second years, I don't know if I'll be allowed to do that :/ but of course graduating with a 2.1 is the main goal.

I've got an interview on friday could read some, I've ordered a few video-games

Thank you, I will

Oh I see. That information would of been useful at the start lol.

If that is part of the requirement and you don't meet it, I would suggest you get some good stuff on your CV. Join a society and make a contribution to it, perhaps become a student rep for your course? Volunteer over the summer?

There's other things you can do to improve your CV. Don't just rely on your grades. Even if you got a 2:1 in 1st and 2nd year, you'd ideally want something else on your CV to make you stand out from the crowd.

Good luck with your interview on Friday... I'm jealous - I could so do with a job, despite already applying for loads!

I'm sorry, I've talked to the course rep and he's said that we only need "aiming for a 2.1" so doesn't matter that I just missed out. But personally like... I do have anxiety and perfectionism... which makes me hate not getting the 2.1 I just hope the next year will go better, I'm just really worrying about everything at the moment. I have thought about getting help to deal with my anxiety... at uni it's okay because I have boxing which helps me mentally and keeps me happy and from worrying. But at home... I have nothing that helps me in that way.

Thank you, I am nervous about the job and the interview, and how it would go if I would get it. I think it's my anxiety..
