nope! thanks to covid we were able to start our new school timetable a month earlier than usual so as we’re ahead of schedule there’s almost no summer work at all :D
probably applying for a stem program which i actually finished writing today so just need to do final adjustments for next week.
usually i go away with my family (sometimes abroad but mostly down to england or up north) and see my friends a lot. summers are my complete break from school time.
it’s been a few days since i posted due to family stuff and dealing with loss, so i took a break from social media for a bit. here’s my catchup for the summer studying challenge!

summer studying challenge 1 — what are your plans for this summer?
this summer i want to read at least 8 books on my tbr list because it is becoming mountainous. and i really want to improve my russian and coding skills! i’m not focusing on school stuff until august bc my mh needs a break from it for a while.

hello !! this is a list of tips for those going to university (as opposed to college). personally, i live at home (off campus) so a lot of these tips are things that i’ve learnt in my first year of uni
you might not have class everyday but that doesn’t mean you should sleep in on the days you don’t
plan time for your friends as well as when you study
you don’t have to join a club but they’re a good way for making friends if you don’t live on campus
follow all the main social media for students - make an effort to find out all the tricks and when the cheap food days are on
try to make at least one friend in your tutorials/labs - a simple “hi, how are you doing?” on the first day can become notes for when you’re sick
when you have early classes, it seems easy to just buy food from uni - try to prep it the night before
have some “set” outfits that you can rely on when you can’t decide on what to wear
you don’t have to hit the gym everyday, getting off a stop early and walking the last part can be an alternative
if you do walk for part of your commute, taking the shortest path might not be the most fun. you can live somewhere yet not know the neighbourhood
if you’re going to nap on your commute, set an alarm for 5 minutes before your stop
in your first weeks of uni, make it your goal to find out where the best bathrooms and drinking fountains are
know the layout of your uni’s library
find a place to study in your university’s library - now find 3 more study spaces around the school
if you have readings, you can do them in cafes with a cup of coffee - reading doesn’t have to be a chore
always carry a pen and a piece of paper in your pocket
be realistic about how much work you can do - pack accordingly
if you have a hard time remembering your timetable, set it as your phone lock screen
always carry a water bottle
your university email will probably give you discounts to services - learn which, know that you don’t need all of them
if you’re a first year, it doesn’t mean you’re inferior to upperclassmen - you are the future so say your opinion, voice what you need, attend faculty meetings, apply for leadership roles
you can go to a lecture and not pay attention but that doesn’t mean you can go to a lecture and distract
you don’t have to be friends with everyone. you won’t be friends with everyone.
you don’t have to be friends with your tutors, you just have to talk to them if you go through things
writing an apology email for missing studio sessions/tutorials/labs is basic courtesy and could save your grade
i think those are some of the general points i can think of but if anyone has anymore then feel free to add them on !!!
happy learning everyone xx
reblog and put in the tags something that you were looking forward to and can’t do it because of coronavirus
