My fierce padlet by Jeannys Bononge [ed19jb] https://padlet.com/ed19jb1/ppvtn00804ulmhmg Made with swagger en-us 2020-09-27 09:25:11 UTC 2026-01-23 05:12:53 UTC hello@padlet.com What has it been like for us during lockdown? ed19jb1 https://padlet.com/ed19jb1/ppvtn00804ulmhmg/wish/782287897 There's a mix of emotions when it comes to lockdown.

On one hand, everyone received a well deserved break from work/ school to spend time with family which we were all excited about and A levels were cancelled.

On the other hand, A levels were cancelled so we never got the chance to show our potential]]> 2020-09-27 11:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ed19jb1/ppvtn00804ulmhmg/wish/782287897 What has it been like arriving at university? ed19jb1 https://padlet.com/ed19jb1/ppvtn00804ulmhmg/wish/782288076 It is different depending on who you ask.  

Some of us have moved into private accommodation so it's hard to  meet students in the same year and course. Even those in uni accommodation aren't able to mix with larger groups which could feel isolating for some in the beginning stages.

However online meetings and social events have been vital and very helpful in order to make new connections in different areas of uni life.]]> 2020-09-27 11:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ed19jb1/ppvtn00804ulmhmg/wish/782288076 What are our needs and/or concerns? ed19jb1 https://padlet.com/ed19jb1/ppvtn00804ulmhmg/wish/782288240 THE PANDEMIC!!!

It makes things difficult when it comes to networking and meeting other people on the course/freshers being online. However, online lectures might be interesting and helpful ]]> 2020-09-27 11:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ed19jb1/ppvtn00804ulmhmg/wish/782288240 What do we know we can do well in relations to learning and studying? ed19jb1 https://padlet.com/ed19jb1/ppvtn00804ulmhmg/wish/782288397 After this pandemic, everyone has shown their ability to adapt to unusual and unexpected circumstances. Having to study predominantly online was not something anyone had predicted would happen but it is fair to say that most people have been able to overcome this and are now relatively comfortable with the way lectures and studying will be conducted.]]> 2020-09-27 11:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ed19jb1/ppvtn00804ulmhmg/wish/782288397 Reviewing 'well-being' ed19jb1 https://padlet.com/ed19jb1/ppvtn00804ulmhmg/wish/782288918
Definition:   ‘Wellbeing can be understood as how people feel and how they function, both on a personal and a social level, and how they evaluate their lives as a whole.”[1]

Hedonic well being 

 Eudaimonic well being


1.Connect with other people
acceptable and hedonic

Students are more likely to try this tip than any other, it’s something they are very familiar with (connecting with others using social media)

2.   Try volunteering/giving to others   hedonic and eudiamonic

helping out others has been proven to improve self-esteem as well as mood. This combined with the development of relationships makes this advice lean into both the hedonic and eudaimonic components of well-being.

3.Pay attention to the present moment (mindfulness)  hedonic

Consciously grounding yourself to your physical surroundings and situation can help in relieving stress and anxiety, calming negative thoughts making this technique particularly beneficial in a cognitive sense.

4.Be active hedonic

Physical activity releases endorphins which minimise stress and boost mood assisting hedonic well-being.


5.Take some time out  hedonic and eudiamonic

Time away from work, study and sometimes even socialising can be essential for good metal health, regain a recognition for purpose in life = eudiamonic well-being

6.Sleep more and eat well hedonic

Sleep and eating well fuels the body to run at its optimum state allowing issues to be overcome with less stress. The entire body requires molecules such as glucose and water to run so a good diet ensures that all organs can function properly
