As long as you keep on top of everything and keep in contact with tutors you\u2019ll become more comfortable working online.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is some advice you\u2019d give to first years and other university students right now?<\/strong><br \/>\nFor first years I would say-no this isn\u2019t the ideal circumstances to be starting your studies but I would also tell you to stick with it because if you can get through this chaotic year I\u2019m sure your following years will be a breeze. I think for all students it\u2019s important to stay positive about your study at this stressful time which is easier said than done but take this extra time at home to stay focused and continue to live a balanced lifestyle day to day. Continue to give yourself routine while at home. Make sure to relax, socialise and exercise around your study time and reach out if you need support whether you\u2019re a first year or a fifth year!<\/p>\n<p>*Have an idea for our wellbeing blog or would you like to write one for us?
