Academia 22: What's in my Sixth Form bag?

-
Hello my beautiful friends!

Here is the fourth (and final-ish) post in my Back2School series (don't forget to read my other posts: A Level Folder Organisation, Back2School Stationery Haul and Sixth Form Clothing Haul)! This post is a classic 'What's in my bag?'! Next week's post will be about my Cambridge summer school experience (I am currently on this summer school), so stay tuned for that.


I am using last year's Sixth Form bag because it is a good size and not damaged at all, so I felt I did not need to buy a new bag. I bought this Fiorelli bag from TK Maxx.


In the front pocket of my bag, I keep my library card for my local university's library. My local university has a scheme whereby Sixth Form and college students can use the library to study free of charge.


In one of the side pockets of my bag, I carry 'beauty' items, which include my Nivea lip balm and Body Shop spray.


The main pocket contains my folder, pencil case, water bottle and headphones. In this pocket, I usually have my glasses and case, textbooks, lunch/lunch money and gum too. In the inside pocket, I keep any sanitary items.


In the back pocket of my bag, I have my phone. To compliment this (and Apple's notoriously awful battery life 😂), I usually carry my phone charger in my other side pocket.

Although this post is fairly short (unfortunately there is not much to write about), I hope this post has been interesting and has helped your own bag organisation. What are your school/Sixth Form/college bag essentials? Let me know in the comments!

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...
