After a busy term, this break is a chance to recharge :bath:

But how will you be spending it? Some of you might be using the time to get ahead on revision, especially with exams on the horizon. Others might be taking a well-earned break, catching up on sleep, and spending time with family and friends :grouphugs:

Whatever you have planned, we want to know! take a vote in the poll and tell us more about what you'll be getting up to below :biggrin:

Best of luck! Let us know how you get on and remember to prioritise some rest :smile:
I'll be doing a mixture of Revising, Researching Post-18 and Relaxing. :smile:
I also finish later than most schools in my area.

me too! having that balance is so important 😌
I will be working on my final uni assignment.

29th May it's due in.

I can't quite believe that finally, after 21 years since I first started uni, I will have completed a degree.

I can hear the choirs of angels already tuning up their vocal chords in preparation.

Submitting that final assignment will be absolutely glorious. I can picture it now - with one final click of my mouse on the Submit button, fireworks will explode over my house. Dozens of wild animals will form a flash mob outside my front door. The neighbours (who I've never met in my life) will burst into spontaneous applause. There will be a sudden news flash on all television and radio channels announcing that I've completed my degree. The red arrows will race across the sky spelling out the words "Hallelujah she's finally done it!"

I'm going to eat my weight in cheese to celebrate.

So yeah... Easter hols will be working on that bad baby!

21 years after starting your degree?
I didn't even realise that universities did 21 year long degrees.
I'm sure THE can organise that celebration? @CamembertPaws

I wasn't studying for a long time.

2004-2005 I studied BA Joint Hons French/TESOL at the Uni of Leeds
Sept 2005 had a baby. Took a year out. Realised I can't take a baby to France.
2006-2007 started again. BA Hons Classical Civilisation at the Uni of Leeds
August 2007 had a baby. Took a year out.
September 2008 went back to uni - my second child was insanely clingy and screamed the place down with anybody except me.
October 2008 I dropped out.

I then spent the next 13 years feeling sad that I'd never managed to finish my degree. Also had two more kids during that time.

September 2021 started part time BA Hons Classical Studies at the OU. Managed to skip Level 1 (aka Level 4) because I transferred 120 credits across from Leeds, because Class Civ and Class Stud is basically the same thing.
and that's what I've now almost finished.

I'm doing an Access course so no revision to do. Just some assignments to get on with what shouldn't take too long.
