The UK is well known for unpredictable weather. Even though I was well aware of it before I arrived there.

I was surprised about the weather of the brighton(probably UK weather). I've heard a lots about weather in the UK and they were right. I figured that left side of the road is brighton and sunny. However, the opposite side is rainy and cloudy.

Even though the forecast says temperature is around 10-20, Weather is already quite cool in the beginning of September because of wind.

People

Furthermore, most people are kind and smile each other.

When I cross the road without traffic light, those drivers stopped for me which does not happen always

Crime

Brighton is nice city and relatively safe compared to other City. Nevertheless,

Before talking about any other things, attendance always comes the first. This is the first step to be successful student. Attending every class will make me catch up with process of lesson and class work such as assignment. Additionally, it gives opportunities to get curious and ask questions to lecturer. I also can have communication with friends and teachers.

Actively participating in class

Even though I attend all classes it will be waste of time if I do not get anything from the lesson. Being active in class, for instance, answering questions of lecturer, rising hand and asking questions, would led me to be a successful student.

Being efficient (time management)

Time is limited. Some people do not get this simple phrase. To be a successful student, managing time is essential part. So, how to be efficient? The first step is know how much time I normally spend on assignment, self-study and etc. After this, general plans should be built for week. General plan will include which date I will study chemistry, biology and chemistry. Since I live alone, I should also choose when to have my glossary shopping as well. With general plan, I could modify it accordingly.

Health

Being a successful student doesn't always mean academic success. Staying health will eventually increase the possibility of becoming successful students. I should not spend too much time in my room studying, but I should have regular exercise, participate college events and keep in touch with new friends. This means that I should frequently go out and get fresh air to stay mentally and physically healthy.

Friendship

As I said, successful student it not always about academics. I socialise enough with my friends hanging out and eat out. I try to meet as many people as I can, so I become a student leader and I got plenty of precious friends.

The first time I went to biology revision on Monday, Miss Wren mentioned that this sessions for late arrival students. This made me even more confused. This lead me to ask Miss Wren why I am in the biology revision sessions. She commented that perhaps I did not good on the baseline test, but I told her I have got 90%. She advised me that you might ask Mr.Okan why I am in the Biology revision because she didn't have the list of students. She said that I could leave if I think this class is unnecessary. However, I did not. Since I have been voluntarily attended biology support class, so I thought it is good opportunity to have biology class from other lecturer.

It was super helpful after all. She taught us how exam questions are going to be and listed down only things we should study.

During the LASCA session on Tuesday, I had to catch up what other students did on Monday. I watched approximately 40 minutes of recorded class of Monday.

I had explanation about professional network. I am planning to apply for it soon.

She started with a questions asking what would you do when someone is disrespectful to me. I answered that I will treat them with the same level of disrespectful.

This was because this was one of my moto for quite a long period. I believed that if someone disrespectful, then I considered that it is the sign that people can be disrespectful. I thought that is the consequences of being disrespectful to others.

However, she explained that if two people disrespect each other, where this conversation goes? It will eventually end bad or even worse. The conversation(perhaps argument) will be escalated. Someone have to break the cycles

We talked about academic stress and what could be the s. at the end of the class, we meditate for 5 minutes. I recommended an app named Medito which one of my friends recommended to me.

During the learning support session, the teacher allows us to have 5 minutes of meditation.

Since I haven't practiced interview for a while, it made me a bit nervous at first. Even though I prepared reason, I couldn't properly say something I wanted to say.

For the questions that why I want to study pharmacy, I figured that I needed to find starting sentence. I was struggling with what should I say first. I think I need a starting sentence which summarises my two points which are my love of science and helping others.

For the reason why I wanted to study in brighton was a bit tricky. I thought I have got strong reasons. I like brighton's curriculum. Compared other universities, the amount of placement of brighton was what I want and it has strong connection between BSMS

On the other hand, they might say the leader can accept opinions from others to make better decisions. I agree with this. However, not every circumstance can have other's opinions. we can gather opinions, but it is a leader who decides the final decision at the end. For example, when the leader is in formal meetings with someone higher than them, they need to make their own decision in the meeting.

Furthermore, I sometimes have to admit that leaders cannot always solve every single problem.

Since I am currently a student leader, I try to listen to students complains and feedback
