Hello Lovelies,
Blogmas is obviously
meant to be about things around the Christmas period and Christmassy fun. But
if you are around my age or younger then it is still filled up with school! One
thing that my age group will be doing is applying to sixth forms and going for
interviews. I have now been to two and both have been incredibly eye opening. I
then thought why not share some information with you, it might help or you
might sweep it under the carpet… either way I don’t mind!
My one top tip would
be don’t follow your friends. I applied to 4 different sixth forms so that I had
a wide range and the one I am most interested in none of my friends are going
to. I want to get my head down and concentrate on my education because those friends
aren’t going to be there every second of your life and I feel like I need to
grow and become more independent.
Another thing that I would
say is pick something that is reasonably close. What I mean is if you live in
London don’t apply to one in Scotland because you will have to travel every
day. Obviously you wouldn’t but what I mean is don’t pick somewhere an hour and
a half away when somewhere twice as good may be 30 minutes away. The further
the distance the more it is going to cost you to go back and forth.
Finally I would also
say when you go for your interview be yourself. When filling out the
application form make sure you write down anything interesting or different
that you might do compared to others. This helps you to stand out. When you are
asked questions make sure you take a second to think of an answer, before
rushing into it. By rushing you may stumble on your words or confuse yourself,
I would find this more embarrassing than if I had taken 2 or so seconds to
think about what I had wanted to say.
Let me know below in
the comments if you have any tips for others or if you just want to share
anything!
(P.S IT’S ONLY 9 DAYS
TILL CHRISTMAS EEEEK!!)
