My first academic goal is to achieve at least a prediction of AAA, but preferably A*AA for my A-levels. More specifically, I want to try and get an A* in A-level history. I guess another goal is to actually properly decide my other 2-3 A-level choices. My sixth form has a 2 week period where I can swap/drop my A-level subjects. So, my final goal is to figure out a combo I’d be happy with, and that will help me achieve my goals at uni within the first 2 weeks at sixth form.

Before lockdown I used to read for 20 minutes to an hour every night before bed, but due to Covid I lost that habit. So, I’m hoping to get back into the habit so I can start reading books I think I’ll enjoy, but also books related to my subjects so I can use them as super-curriculars in my personal statement. I also used to play guitar in year 7-9, but haven’t played since my GCSEs started. So, I wanna start playing again in my free time. :smile:

To stay balanced, I’m going to try to be more kind to and not overwork myself. I’m gonna try and revise everyday for a set amount of time, but not for too many hours. And, if there are days where I feel too tired to study, I’ll make my purpose on that day to take care of my self by having a bath, going on a walk, reading, watching a Tv show, movie or YouTuber I like, or maybe focus on something else I need to do like my personal statement, coursework etc- I’m also going to make sure I schedule breaks during my revision to clear my head, as well as making sure I don’t revise too late in the night so I have time to wind down.

1) Firstly I want to finish my mocks and AS exams with the best grades possible so I can get predicted good grades so I can apply to best uni possible. I also want to manage my time properly so I don't feel stressed and burnt out during my Alevels. I want to work consistently in all my a levels because I chose them and no one forced me too so why not get the most out of it
2) I want to get into the habit of making flashcards watching yt videos of topics I learnt during school. And also I want to get into the habit of not making studying a difficult task but rather something I want to do for my own life and future. Also I kinda wanna get back into crochet but I need to manage my time first as I am still trying to work my way around schedules and to do lists.
3) on the weekends I would like to journal but idk if this counts as self care and possibly call my friends and play games then I study :smile:
