*WARNING : text heavy post*
I hope the title of this post didn’t sound too formal or off
putting or a little frightening but basically, today I wanted to impart some of
my wisdom onto you guys. I am now going into year 13 and I thought I would
share with you what I learnt about being in year 12
With privileges come
responsibilities: yes I know as soon as you get to year 12, you are allowed
to do more things but you are also seen as a role model for the rest of the
school so try to do your best at that
Wearing your own
clothes: it’s all exciting when you get to go shopping for different
clothes to wear to school but don’t get hung up on something new to wear every
day. No one is paying attention to if you have worn that before. Wear what you
want and feel most comfortable in. if you would like some clothes ideas, check
out my most recent wishlist post. Making clothes wearable and the simplicity of
the outfit is the way to go
Be on the ball:
year 12 does matter no matter what people say. If you don’t do well, you don’t
go onto year 13. Simples. Not that this should frighten you but time management
is key so revise where possible, complete all tasks, take notes, ask for help
too if necessary and try and do as much work experience as possible and join in
clubs and participate in events around school. Believe me this will help you A
LOT. UCAS will start and it might seem overwhelming but you will get the
support you need.
Have fun: I think being treated more like a grown up is
what people tend to forget about moving into year 12. You can have fun. Having
a social life is a part of it. It’s okay if you want to hang out with friends
you are allowed to. Your social life isn’t completely eradicated I promise ;)
What you need:
folders, stationary and a shit tonne of paper. I kid you not, you will need a
lot of paper if your teachers ask you to have folders. Stay organised with
various folders and plans your time effectively
I hope I didn’t make you even more scared for moving into
year 12. I promise you, you will enjoy it and remember work hard, play hard. If
you work for it, you will get the grades you want in the end
Have a great rest of your day and also enjoy your school
year ;) (Also, if you are going into year 7, please enjoy those years in
school. They are the easiest, most care free and the best years I promise and
guess what, it gets better as you go up the school J )
As I am not going to be doing a back to school series as
such, I will link you to my What's
in my pencil case, Beauty
bag survival kit and my back
to school must haves posts if you fancy a browse or need some inspiration
but if you do have any back to school post suggestions, please feel free to
tell me in the comments (p.s. these are foetus holy chic blog posts so if they
are terrible, I can only apologise J)
