How time flies!! I remember writing posts on applying to university and now I’ve just been given my second year results!! It’s crazy how far I’ve come as a person since 2016 and I feel like now I’ve received my results, why not give you a little reflection of how this year has been. This year has been challenging compared to first year. Yes, first year was hard… fitting in, adjusting to university life and the work load. But second year for me has had its challenging moments too. Even though I feel more comfortable and fit in more (I have my group of friends who are amazing and I wouldn’t have been able to get through second year without them), the work load has been slightly different to first year. Of course I knew second year was going to be a step up from first year, but it was still a bit of a shock. The modules were a lot more in depth, and feeding on from first year modules which was good but the quality of work expected was on a different scale. The assignments were a lot more challenging and made me use my brain a lot harder. The content was a lot more stressful as I feel it there was more of it this year! Also, most of my assignments this year overlapped a lot compared with first year, so I really had to improve my time management!! Having said that, second year has enabled me to focus more on my strengths as well as acknowledging areas in linguistics which don’t work for me. It is challenged me a positive way and has pushed me further out of my comfort zone which I’m so happy about. It has made me grow a lot (not physically I’m still 5ft unfortunately haha) as a person and I hope I can continue to grow and work with both my weaknesses and strengths within third year!! Speaking of third year I am very nervous. My stomach feels so weird when I mention those two words. I think it’s more of shock than anything else, that this time year I will have finished (and hopefully will have received a good grade!) and then I'll be out in the big wide world!! I am excited for a new challenge though, and to hopefully be able to secure myself a career which interests me and start to create a successful life for myself. Graduating also is something I’m really excited about… being surrounded with all my friends who have helped me along the way, and just celebrating another achievement!!! Oh yes, I forgot to say my grades for this year!! I am very very proud of myself but I cannot believe I achieved a 2:1 overall (or a 'B' grade if you aren't familiar with university grades). Some modules were definitely harder than others and you can see that in some of my grades, but I managed to achieve 1st’s and 2:1’s in the eight modules I completed this year!!I knew it was possible but you know what I’m like- doubting myself and thinking I can't do it...but from this I feel like I’m finally starting to believe in myself and acknowledging I have the ability to achieve great things in life. I am definitely on track to get a great degree grade. If I keep up the good work (I’m definitely going to try my hardest next year and put even more effort into it than what I’ve done so far) and I should graduate with big smiles all around. ![]() University has changed me, and I’m so proud of what I’ve achieved so far. I have come a long way since finishing alevel; I’ve gained more confidence, independence, strength and motivation to achieve the things that I want to achieve! Obviously I'm still learning to become more confidence etc, but I’ve changed so much since 2016. I am starting to be who I want to be and not give two monkeys about what others think. For example, I would have never posed like I have in the pictures shown in this post, back in 2016 or possibly never! I am starting to love myself, and not care what others think. I've always been the shy,unconfident kid who was scared of being judged and having everyones eyes on me. But now I feel like a completely different person (in a good way). If I want to pose a certain way for a picture and ask my friends and family to take a dozen pictures of me posing, hell yes I'm going to do it!!! I am becoming my own person physically and mentally, and university has helped me a lot with that. I still need to work on self-love and self-worth but I’m definitely on my way!! Wow this post got really deep, really quickly… Let’s end it here before it gets even more sloppy!! Lidia xx
