HOW TO SURVIVE SIXTH FORM

Probably inaccurate as I have yet to get out of this in one piece, but 1 year in and I'm doing okay. I'm surviving. And with a few simple tips and "what I've learned"s, so can you! (hopefully) 

1. Pick subjects and do activities you genuinely enjoy and find interesting rather than just doing what everyone else is doing because it might look clever. You'll never have a good experience unless you follow your heart to an extent.
2. Be prepared for the step up from GCSEs to A Levels - it's huge. Don't presume that just because you aced your GCSEs you don't need to work for these (guilty)
3. You should probably start revising for your summer exams now (slight exaggeration, but seriously, its so much better sooner than later)
4. No one is going to care (or even notice) if you wear the same outfit more than once. Save yourself that stress.
5. Don't be scared to express yourself or stand out from the crowd or do something differently. Now is the time.
6. Driving (or having a friend driving) will most likely make you lazier, and that is okay ... to an extent ;)
7. It's okay to not get straight A's and it most definitely doesn't make you a failure. 
8. It's okay to not know where your life is heading, but as long as you're doing what makes you happy it can't go too wrong.
9. Your friendship circle will change, you will see less of some, more of others and meet and interact with completely new people. Embrace it.
10. Enjoy it. Try to make the most of it. Have fun
