FREEEEDOM



Wow, what a demanding two years sixth form has been. I know people alwaaaays say that the jump between GCSE and A Level / AS and A2 is tremendous, but I want to take a second here to reiterate that. A2 has been especially demanding, so if you're thinking of applying for Sixth Form in September, get ready to work your butt off! 
That being said, the last two years have been soooo much fun and I've met some of the greatest people ever. And the fact that we're all going to totally different parts of the country in September (hopefully, assuming we didn't all U it) actually really sucks. 

While on the topic of exams I thought I'd give you a quick insight into what study leave has really been like for me;
- pyjamas all day everyday
- 2836249 colour coded cue cards
- an obscene number of cups of tea
- snacking, a little more snacking, and yet more snacking
- the furthest I've moved is probably 5m
- and more past papers than you can shake a stick at. 

Anyway, I'm so glad it's all over now, and I am so ready for the summer holidays ahead. Graduation is next week, then after that the last time I'll ever have to go into school will be to pick up my results... eek

I have quite a few cool things planned for the summer, and it all kicks off tomorrow with a trip to London on my lonesome. None of my friends have finished their exams yet, so I'm braving it alone. On the plus side, I'll be able to do whatever I please and won't have to drag anyone else around the same shop 25837 times. I'm sure I'll take lots of pictures and have lots to report back, so a post about my adventures is very likely to appear on BF&L very soon.

How To Survive Sixth Form

Okay, so the title of this post might be a little ambiguous, as unfortunately there won't be any miracle tips in this post. I wish I had some to share with you, but I feel like I'm still yet to discover them. Don't get me wrong, sixth form is sooooooooo much better than lower school, and if it wasn't for the extortionate workload, it wouldn't be too bad.

- Only be there if you want to. And by this I don't mean skive. Move, change courses. There is nothing worse than studying subjects you don't enjoy with a group of people you don't particularly like.

- Get organised. Honestly. I know everyone always says that, but seriously. Get on top of all your work. Write down all your assignments and deadlines. Do things before they're due. Make sure your notes are neat - you might actually need to be able to read them.

- Surround yourself with people you like. If my friends weren't at sixth form with me, I don't know how I'd cope. They're all so great, and they make long, boring days so much better.

- Have fun. Yes, it's boring and stressful, but just make the most of it.
