Welcome!

Hello my beautiful friends!

Welcome! Today I endeavor on a new project and I am certain that I will commit to it. I am not the best writer, but I aim to express myself to my best ability. On the surface, this blog is an extension to my Studygram on Instagram (@mathsstudygram); however, this blog is a lot deeper. I will pour myself into blog posts with the aim of helping and empowering people. I hope that you will enjoy this journey with me.

Aside from being a project aimed to empower others, I also aim to heal myself since I currently suffer with my mental health. Through creating this safe space online full of positivity, I hope to build my own character by working on this purposeful project. Additionally, this blog will reduce my social media intake, which can be poisonous and I know worsens my mood.

There will be two main aspects to my blog: Academia and Mental Health. Of course, this blog must be related to academia because it is the child of my Studygram. Like my Studygram, I hope to inspire, help and motivate others as well as myself through posting about various topics in the academic world.

However, I also wanted to bring in the Mental Health aspect. Mental Health affects so many people, especially my generation. I think it is so important for people to talk about it and, as a mental health sufferer myself, I wanted to influence that.

As well as these topics, I will be writing chatty topics for discussion posts. I hope to alternate between these topics and post every Monday!

Have a beautiful day because you are so deserving!

Anna

Academia 33: University of Birmingham Offer-Holder Day

-

Hello my beautiful friends! Once you have received an offer from a university, you may be invited to an offer-holder day. This is similar to an open day, but is accessible to offer-holders only. I attended an offer-holder day at the University of Birmingham and have decided to give a review about it. What did I do? Was it a worthwhile event? Did it change my perspective on the university? I hope to answer these questions and more in order to advise you about offer-holder days. I attended this offer-holder day with my mum. To begin the day, we were provided with refreshments (the university was very hospitable, as you will find out later in this post) and able to talk to students & staff about the university. Following this, I was split up with my mum because the parents had a separate itinerary. I attended three talks, which lasted a total of 40 minutes altogether. The talks covered the course, teaching, student life (this talk was presented by current students) and ind...

Academia 32: My UCAS Experience

-
Hello my beautiful friends! I have decided to write a diary-style blog post about my UCAS experience. When I was starting Year 12, I remember feeling daunted by the UCAS process and unsure about what to expect. Eve Bennett, a revision Youtuber, uploaded a diary-style video about her UCAS experience, which was very helpful. Similarly, I hope to help some of you through this blog post about my own experience. 02/07/18 Today I started my UCAS application (I had a UCAS day at sixth form)! I filled in all of the relevant forms and completed the first draft of my personal statement. It was not as daunting as I thought it would be and the form itself did not take long to fill out... I'd advise that you do a few supercurricular activities to ensure you have subject-relevant things to write about on your personal statement (this makes the process so much easier). 26/09/18 There is a slight gap between my last entry and this one. During this time, I have redrafted my personal state...

Academia 24: Staying Productive in Sixth Form

-
Hello my beautiful friends! This blog post was requested from my Instagram story and I thought it'd be useful for those starting Year 12. Recently, I participated in a collab with other Year 13 Studygrammers called #howtoalevel in which we shared our tips for new Year 12s, so I thought it'd be fitting to repeat that Instagram post in blog post form. Here are my top 10 tips for those starting Year 12... 1. Relax during the summer between Y11 & Y12. Some Sixth Forms/colleges set bridging work, so do complete this, but do not do any additional work to avoid burning out in Y12. 2. Make your notes as you go along. After every lesson, write up your class notes onto flash cards/mind maps/whatever resource you use to revise. 3. Use a variety of sources to make your notes. As well as using your class notes, use your textbook/revision guide and/or reliable websites to ensure your notes are sufficient and cover everything. (Feel free to ask me for Physics and Economics we...
