Hey. My name's Jasmin, I'm in S5, and I have my own gyg (Jasmin's S5 Gyg).

I took 7 Nat 5s last year and got straight A's (English, maths, history, modern studies, RMPS, biology, and French), so if you have any questions I'm more than happy to help.

I'm currently reading the Inheritance Games and I'm really enjoying it so far. I loved The Naturals series, also by JLB, is my favourite book series - I love it so much!

Thank you! Those are great results so Congratulations!!🥳 I have been following your GYG since last year and you really inspire me. I have been thinking about reading the naturals series since ages but never had the time. What book are you currently on for the inheritance games??

Still the first book. I'm a good bit of the way through it though.

It's crazy to me, even though I know it happens, that there were/are more people following along with my gyg than just those who respond to it.

Hello! Welcome to the GYG community! My name is Simon and I am currently in S6.

I practically did the same subjects as you when I was in S4 (aside from Physics) so if you have any questions at any point then feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to help.

Aside from that, I look forward to following along with your journey this year!

Literally I wouldn't be able to tell you because the last book I properly read was in like years ago... maybe Harry Potter though but I barely remember it, and I like the movie way more. Also I'm gonna start reading The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde soon because it seems interesting but I need to sort out my schedule and make time for it, probably before I sleep. What about you, do you have a favourite book or recommendation?

Hi,
Sorry I haven't been able to post much since its been a hard back to school. ill try to post more often and hopefully it'll get easier. and also thank you for all the support despite my punctuality.😶

I'll list everything that I've been doing in school below:
maths-Started doing sine wave graphs
English-reading The Burning by Laura Bates for my critical reading
biology-done Unit 1 and 2 so I'm set for the prelims
chemistry-had a preview of the whole course in S3 so not too much overload
physics-electricity topic has me dead but otherwise I'm fine
geography-its just a bit memorising but ill survive
computing science- I'm crashing it this year but my friends, teachers and parents are supporting me so I'm perfect

I've also just realised the I didn't mention any extracurriculars that I'm doing so here ya go


Extracurriculars

I've also managed to delete all the information on this post at least 2 times and its infuriating me.
I think that's all for now. I'll update you all next week. thanks again for the support🥰

I've just started reading the powerless series by Lauren Roberts and I love it. I would say though it is a very romance-fantasy book. I unfortunately haven't heard of the books that you mentioned but maybe just because I'm very into fantasy books though they sound very interesting😁

Hi! I'm Becca and I'm in my first year of university. Welcome to the gyg community, I hope you find it just as motivating and supportive as I do!

If you ever have any biology or english questions then I'm happy to help. I specialised more in humanities for my nat fives and highers, but feel free to ask and I'll try to answer any questions. Also, I know it's kind of far away but I'm happy to discuss university life/applying for entry as well.

I've been slowly working my way through The Professor's House by Willa Catha, mostly when I'm in the sauna after a long training session. If anyone else has read it, I'd love to hear thoughts or recommendations.
