Do any other first-year uni students feel like they missed out on so much? I saw my friends at uni last year having a blast, finding new friends, and enjoying uni life but now that I'm a uni student I didn't get to experience any of it, instead, I'm stuck at home.

I’m in the exact same position as well. However I really like university being online and lectures being prerecorded and staying at home. My working environment is homely and familiar, I can make my own routine for myself, prioritise myself, and I’m a naturally independent, introverted and self-autonomous person anyway who hates relying and depending on other people and enjoys spending time on my own. Maybe I’m in the minority but lockdown and online university has definitely benefited me.

I'm in my final year studying the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice at Strathclyde. This wasn't how I expected the last year of my degree to be like but I've still managed to keep in touch with my friends and family and make the most of it given the circumstances. Our course finishes next month and usually the Diploma ball committee would plan a Diploma Ball for the end of the semester. However, there is hope that we can plan something once the pandemic has settled
Do you have a daily routine? I've tried to keep to the same routine that I've had pre-pandemic. I plan a week in advance in my diary so I know what deadlines I've got coming up and I make small lists for each day too. This helps me see what I've managed to do, even though sometimes I don't get everything on my list finished. I also worry a bit less if I can see that I've been productive and kept busy
I get up and go out a walk in the morning as I’d usually walk the last 15 minutes of my commute to uni. I do my uni work in my office so that other areas such as the living room and kitchen are non uni work spaces. I try and exercise everyday whether it's going out for a walk or a run in the afternoon. I enjoy cooking and watching new series on Netflix. I usually leave my weekends study free so that I'm taking time out for myself. I also go for socially distanced walks with my friends and this gives me something to look forward to

I feel you, it must be frustrating when the majority of your course is 'practical based' (if I can call it that), I was also in uni halls for 3 months, but luckily I had wonderful flatmates so I enjoyed it, but being at home really makes me so jealous of everyone back at halls, even though they're staying indoors the majority of the time, I'd rather be there and live as a student.

My uni work is taking up the majority of my time, so my routine is just that. I want to do things like painting or reading but the fact that I could be doing work while I'm having some me-time stresses me out and I just don't find things I enjoy very relaxing.

I always felt bad about taking time out to do things I enjoy as I would be thinking I should be doing uni work. We all need breaks or else we'll burn out. Take some time out to do painting and reading even if it's for half an hour each day and try not to think too much about the uni work you've got to do during this time Melissa- Student Ambassador

Managing time and finding self-motivation to study has been tough, though spacing it out with a walk or video call is something I totally recommend. Also, maybe try reading something as an escape just before your head hits the pillow, that should distance you from your work before sleep.
Whilst I'd love to take an entire weekend off from my course, that isn't quite possible on my side! Still, time management would allow you to get closer to that...
