It seems I already forgot to keep up the weekly college guide, but worry not it shall return!

1) Comfort? Comfort. I cannot stress this enough, please where something comfortable it is for your benefit because trust me you don't want to be hoisting up your leggings ever five minutes, or fiddling on with some complicated piece of clothing. I suggest comfort because in college you will be moving around a lot (a bummer I know) but since you are being so active then why not be comfortable while you do so? I'm completely looking out for your best interest here.

2) Fully charged phone. This may sound obvious but I'd have you know that the other day I woke up to an almost dead phone, it seems I either forgot to plug it on or the charger somehow disconnected, I'm going with the latter. I know phone's are the mean source of procrastination however in college they are good for other stuff; like if you're laptop is dead, or you cannot access a computer you can always use your phone. Plus you never know when you need to get in touch with someone, like email a teacher work or whatever.

3) Smile! Yes smile, whilst you are working your butt off it is all the same important to just smile take a breather and let the beautiful day consume you. This also applies to not working yourself too much, yes studying is important but so is your sanity!

4) High lighters and gel pens? A must. These little sticks of colour are definitely a must for your pencil case. Not only does it add to your previous bought pens but they are actually useful when you are doing your a levels. I am constantly high lighting things, taking notes, annotating things and trust me these bursts of colours all of my pages are helping me to do so, plus it looks pretty and not boring. This is coming from someone who hated high lighters throughout her high school years.

5) A day off? Email in. In the unfortunate event of you being ill (or simply skiving) you should definitely get in touch with your subject teachers, to let them know and also so they can email you the work you will be missing, as falling behind is definitely a no go!

That's all I have got for you with the college guide this week, I've been WritingMyHeart and you've been wonderful!

College Guide #2

Friday 9 October 2015

Since starting college it seems that I wasn't well accustomed or prepared to start with and well I wish I'd known before hand, because no wants to turn up to college looking like a fool unless that is your aim then go right ahead. So for anyone that is interested I am going to write a weekly college guide, it's nothing heavy or even that lengthy just a few tips on a Friday!

Tip 1; A3 Notebook every time, I turned up with a smaller note book not realizing how many notes I'd be taking in that one day alone never mind that whole week. I do suggest you buy a A3 notebook as they are bigger, give you more room, and you can buy them almost anywhere.

Tip 2; Pencil Case. this sounds basic and you may feel like you're back in primary school however it is helpful, and you avoid the awkward hand raise of asking the teacher for a pen which leads to at least a five minute rant. Pencil Case and plenty of pens, you're welcome.

Tip 3; Earphones, not so much helpful for your lessons but definitely helpful for your sanity. When I'm revising, doing out of class work, writing and even travelling I always have my earphones in. Music helps a lot, plus it beats silence or annoying surrounding noise and conversations.

That is all I have this week for college tips, look for next weeks tips!
