Things I Wish I'd Done Differently At School


#1 NOT CARED ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT
If I wanted to wear a certain thing, or do my hair a certain way, then I should have just done it! I spent so much time just trying to fit in, and it wasn't until I finished school that I actually started wearing whatever I wanted, and I feel so much better for it.

#2 BEEN MORE CONFIDENT
I'm not the world's most confident person, especially in big groups of people. I just wish I'd tried a little harder to socialise with everyone. I'm definitely better at it now, as I've gotten to know people more. I'm just not that good when I first meet people.

#3 STUDIED A LITTLE MORE
So I did do reasonably well in my exams, I just wish I worked a little harder for my A Levels. I sort of lost interest in them and couldn't wait to leave school, that I didn't study a lot for them. I did get BBC, but I think I could have done a little better (ABB was my goal).

#4 TAKEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY
I had a lot of opportunities for different clubs, trips and other things which I didn't take part in. I wish I'd done Duke Of Edinburgh because so many of my friends did and it looked like a lot of fun! But at the time I just couldn't be bothered.

#5 MADE LOTS OF SOLID FRIENDSHIPS
When you leave school it's a lot harder than you think it would be to stay in touch with friends. There a few still that I talk to all the time and meet up with as much as possible. But there are lots that I don't see nearly as much as I should. When you're in school it's easy to take friendships for granted because you seem them everyday, but it's so much harder when you finish school for uni/work.
