The past few weeks have been quite difficult to adjust to. It’s really de-motivating being stuck inside for most of the day and so at times, I am finding it hard to concentrate on and be motivated to complete assignments. Each night I make a to-do-list for the following day so that I have a bit of structure and routine so that I’m not left with nothing to do as I get bored easily. I try to break my day up as much as possible so that I’m not spending hours doing uni work. Every day I exercise, do some work to stay productive and ahead of my deadlines, and I always make sure I set some time aside to facetime my friends and family as it’s been really hard not being able to see them.
I have just finished completing an assignment for another module so I am starting my report today. I’m looking forward to writing my report as I think it will be good to reflect on my experience and also learn more about employability through the literature I will be using. This will be my last assignment before I have to start revising for my exam so I hope it doesn’t take me too long as I am quite stressed about having enough time to revise as I’ve been finding it difficult to stay motivated and so, I know I will procrastinate a lot if I don’t leave enough time.
Overall, I’ve really enjoyed this module as I’ve learned a lot about the job sector and what the best ways are to network with people and to locate jobs and volunteer opportunities. It has also allowed me to develop as a person, mostly in confidence, so I think the module has been really beneficial and I think that it is great that it is offered at the university.
I hope that things calm down soon and we can get back to normality in the next few months and be able to see friends and family again, as well as return to normal university life in September.
