Experiences/ Events:

exploring editorial, design for screen
- learnt to drive (stalled whilst turning onto a main road)
- starting going to the gym more, focusing on health more
- moved into a new house
- broke down on motorway with no hard shoulder in the rain
- LCA degree show
Most influential experience, why?
Looking back on the year and deciding I wanted to make more time for myself to make my own work, go to the gym more and not stress out as much about making things perfect. I realised I needed to stop worrying about other people and work and focus on making myself happy rather than putting so much pressure on myself because the pressure of first year resulted in my crying on the uni floor toilets in front of a lot of people. Although this wasn't a great situation in made me realise that I shouldn't worry about the little things and should focus on what actually matters to me. Consequently I realised I wanted to make work I was passionate and happy with whilst maintain a life outside of uni that meant I could focus and make goals not related to graphics. Summer allowed me to focus on my health and fitness to the point where I didn't dread going to the gym because I felt like I was waisting time but that I was excited to go because I had goals I wanted to achieve and I could feel myself becoming stronger. This resulted in a focus on being more productive with the time I have at uni during 2nd year as I was prioritising my self over my work and not the other way around, because at the end of the day although I got a first in the very module that made me cry it didn't actually count and in all honesty I think I'd rather be happy than stressed out and sad over a stupid number on a piece of paper. Despite this I still have the same determination to do well and to create the best work I can but that determination has been put into perspective and is so far working out quite well.
