Third Year Is Stressful

We're already ten days into February and I've only just now made a blog post. I do have an excuse though which you may already know what it is from the title of this blog post. Third year of university is probably the most stressful year of them all and that's because it's a lot more pressure this year. By the end of third year, all the marks in my assignments goes towards my degree which is kind of the whole point of uni in the first place to get a degree.

Anyway, I'm doing advertising and media studies which many people (the ones who have no idea) think is an easy degree. It's not. It's still just as hard as any other degree. No degree is easy to get. You have to work hard to get it. I have essays and reports to write, I have advertising campaigns to make and I have to complete six advertising briefs while on top of that write a 10,000 word dissertation. All the while not trying to have a mental breakdown and I also need time to eat, sleep, socialise and of course the most important (and most needed) thing is time to relax. Yeah, third year is kind of stressful but I'm slowly getting through it. I'm actually writing this today (Saturday) still in bed (it's 09:44 in the morning) and after I've published this post then I'm going to get ready and actually work on my dissertation so yeah. I have had a relaxing morning so far so it's okay.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that if you're in university, college, school or even working and you're finding it very stressful. It's all going to be okay in the end. You can get through this. Soon it'll be over and if you are stressed just take a step back. Relax. Don't stress yourself out to much. If you're really struggling then talk to someone. Whether it's a parent, sibling, friend, teacher, lecturer boss or just someone you can trust then talk to them. They'll listen to you and they can help you.

So that's all I have to say for now. I just wanted to give you all a little update as to why there has been a lack in blog posts. I'll try to stick to posting every Friday but it is a very busy time for me in third year. Deadlines are coming up and I have assignments plus a dissertation to do which are a priority for me right now as they kind of determine my future so yeah. Bear with me. You'll get a blog post every now and then so I'm not going to completely disappear.

Stay strong because it'll soon be all over and you will finally be able to relax. I'll be back again soon with another blog post.

See you then.
