Year 14 Inspiration and Dark Days

Year 14 are armed with their mock results and are getting their personal action plans into gear. At this time of year your progress towards your dream may seem very long drawn out. Pace yourself. Investment in thorough and unhurried work at this stage will get the best value out of a bit of panic nearer the exams. This is also the time to take stock of your commitments outside your academic work. Definitely don't cut off your friends, give up the social life and the part time job, but make good decisions with your long term aim in view. Pull back on your hours of part time work if you don't want to stop completely. Think of the next few months as a failsafe investment. If you put in the work now, you will really look forward to mid June - it's not that far away - when you will be free of pressure, happily chilling out on holiday with your best work under your belt. If the prospect of the next few months fills you with panic, DON'T. Come and talk - all the usual suspects will have you as their top priority between now and June. Don't be afraid to ask for a piece of our time.
