Thank you so much for this. I was nervous that the jump from yr 11 to 12 would be huge and the workload would just pile on, but this made me feel better that i can actually enjoy myself and have time to myself, especially at the beginning. Thank u ❤
ENG SOC SHOUT OUT!!! Also if anyone reading ends up having no frees that align with your friends: A) LOCK IN during school so you don’t have to do anything at home - this doesn’t just have to be academic as well I spend about half of my frees doing music and it’s a great breather B) get into podcasts you’ll never be alone!
damn making me feel a bit old haha but i respect that bro i hope you've been having a great summer so far!! and thank you for watching my video i really appreciate it :)
This Video is something I definitely needed but the thing with my subjects is that I have absolutely no idea what Job fields I'm supposed to do with them - The ones I have chosen are English literature, Psychology and Biology. Because of how unsure I am with the future I don't know what to change or if I should change, it's just UGH.
yeah i find it crazy how by age 16 you kinda need to have your entire future planned out, but i feel like unless you want to do something super specific and demanding eg medicine you should pick subjects you're good at and enjoy, then decide the job later. because your interests will change and there are jobs you might not know even existed out there. but i feel your combo is pretty good since eng lit and psych go well, and psych and bio go well together. and you're showing you're good at analytical and creative thinking by doing eng lit and bio :) i've yapped sm haha i hope this was useful!
@@honeylemonntea Girl seriously THANK YOU - I've been asking friends and Uncles and Aunties which only helped spiral this problem lmao It's weird how I'm already expected to know what I'm going to be so really, thanks for the comment YOU DID NOT YAP THANK U SM
HI NICOLE!! idk if you remember me but I left a comment on one of your videos during exam season saying i was hoping for all 8s and 9s-and I got my results yesterday!! Turns out I got all 8s and 9s and a 7 (in English lit) 🎉🎉
we go to the same school right - most people get their blazers from next but honestly i regret not getting the one from monkhouse. even though it's more expensive it's much more structural like less floppy, and has inside pockets too ! as for trousers etc genuinely anywhere just find one that feels comfortable :)
thanks for commenting evie :)) not really haha definitely prioritise enjoying the summer but if you're struggling in a specific subject or topic it can be a good time to go through and fully understand it at your own pace !
