I remember sitting in a pub with my mum at the end of my first year of university, saying that university doesn\u2019t really test how intelligent you are but how you work. And this is so true. Of course, through hard work comes intelligence and, depending on your definition of intelligence, it (university life)\u00a0does test it to some extent. Let me explain.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">I am a very organised person\u2026 on the outside. I write list after list, now with my faithful OneNote (Why? \u2013 Read my\u00a0<a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/harrietllowe.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/10\/evernote-onenote-too-many-notes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog<\/a>), and this all started in first year. While the majority of students were sobering up after \u201cFreshers\u2019 fortnight\u201d that always lasts at least a month, and complaining that they only have 10 hours of lectures a week, I was writing up lecture notes into revision notes; planning for essays that were due next term; becoming a student rep; working as a language ambassador for SOAS and researching content for Year 2. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">By Term 2, I had detailed essay plans with background information and sources ready for further information from lectures to be slotted in and typed out. I had revision notes for Term 1, written out and coloured, ready to add Term 2. Sometimes it\u2019s hard to find momentum in the first and second years, when you feel like all your deadlines are months away, but setting personal deadlines (that you stick to) removes the pressure at the end. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">Now, because all these tasks don\u2019t require a huge amount of concentration, I had music and comfy clothes and copious amounts of tea \u2013 so it wasn\u2019t too taxing either. I actually felt like I was being constructive with my time and as deadlines approached in April and May, I had 1 or 2 assignments to finish. I actually went on a small holiday at the end of first year after submitting my last assignment early. Subsequently, because I had prepared for Year 2, I was already ahead at the beginning of term.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">So far, I sound like I do nothing else except study and my students often ask if I have a social life, what with doing a PhD and teaching (and we all know that\u2019s not even the half of it), but of course I do and you can do this at the undergraduate level too. The beauty of starting work, revision, essay plans, presentation practice etc. early, is that you actually feel like you have more time to do other things. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">If you tell yourself;\u00a0on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, you\u2019re going to wake up at 8.00, get to the library by 9.00 and work until 3.00, it\u2019s not actually a long day (trust me) and you will always be ahead. If you have lectures in the day, stay later or go on Mondays. If you do this every week of the term, by week 10, your assignments will be completed, you will have\u00a0time in the evenings to do your own thing and by deadline week, you can go out, enjoy your time and still have a social life. This is so important. And yes, I did partake in Freshers\u2019 (didn\u2019t we all) and sometimes, I missed a day of work because of a \u201cmigraine\u201d but stress and pressure are not good for you physically or mentally. By distributing your time evenly across the term, you\u2019re more likely to be healthy; have an opportunity to visit home or see old friends; explore London; exercise; socialise; and enjoy your time at university.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">Ok, so at the PhD level, I work longer days and include Sunday morning in my work timetable but it\u2019s a similar principle.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">In fact, this system meant I could work alongside my undergraduate degree during term time in the Students\u2019 Union, create and run a new academic society, research and prepare for a PhD, work from May to September every year in Italy and develop my CV beyond Harriet Lowe BA Hons.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\">So, how did I do it?<\/span><\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"> Well, I was able to take on the advice that I used to cringe at \u2013 <i>Think ahead<\/i>. If there\u2019s a party on Thursday night, work extra on Monday and Wednesday to make up for Friday morning. If you have 3 essays due in 6 weeks, plan to complete 1 every 2 weeks. It sounds so simple, but it\u2019s through these things that you are able to balance your life. university doesn\u2019t need to be stressful, and you don\u2019t have to do \u2018all-nighters\u2019 in the library.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><b>You can, and should, prioritise life and still succeed at university.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>Harriet Lowe\u00a0(<a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HarrietLoweGRN\"><b>@<\/b>HarrietLoweGRN<\/a>) is a PhD Candidate in Applied Linguistics at the University of Greenwich in the UK.
