Advice for all you poor, stressed out, depressed, and anxious troopers:
Can’t say I had it as bad as yee but I decided to just start over…:
1: Tidy the shit out of your study room/bedroom. Have your study space really neat and tidy.
2: Buy a rake of refill pads – 2 for each subject.
3: Sit down for like a 2 hour block and write on a piece of paper the things you’re gonna do – a full listening, a chapter of biology, and a section of maths.
Being super organised takes away a lot of stress. It’s hard to maintain but work at it, makes life so much easier.
My main problem was coming to terms with how much time I need to give up. Get used to doing at least 4 hours solid study a day (weekends), and try to *deep breath* enjoy it. If you dread sitting down to study then it’s damn impossible to get through more than an hour or two. Remind yourself that, sure, our education system is bollocks, but we are lucky to get to learn at all. Strive to be knowledgeable. Make your brain your biggest asset. Make study your job, and be really damn good at it. Be organised and professional.
And don’t stress lads. Soooooo many people these days get some basic degree, then end up in a completely unrelated job. Aim for 625 but fuck it, 400 would be miiighty all the same. Give it a lash and have a ball. Life’s too short to stress
