I strongly advise that you speak to your university lectures if your struggling, it’s always best to seek support rather than suffer in silence.

So expressing concerns and how you are feeling to others who understand will reassure and help you build bonds and create friendships.

If you have managed to stay focused during a two hour lecture for example, then make sure you reward yourself. This will reinforce good study habits and it will make you feel a lot better. ]]> 2020-10-23 08:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/callum_j_rees/21vnxs9i4n8aa84l/wish/855238259 callum_j_rees https://padlet.com/callum_j_rees/21vnxs9i4n8aa84l/wish/855238920 We can't control what is happening, so why should we spend so much time worrying about something we can't change? Try to focus on the positives and be proud of yourself for everything that you have achieved.
