CAMPUS LIFE

YOUR GUIDE TO THRIVING IN JANUARYWe’ve prepared some simple tips to help you make the most of the New Year and beat those January Blues!

1. Make a plan of actionJanuary is a new year and time to reflect on what the year ahead brings. It is likely that you have upcoming deadlines and possibly exams, so it is the perfect time to get yourself organised.

TOP TIP - Make a list of all the deadlines and/or exams you have this year. Then, put these into a calendar or diary - having all of this illustrated in front of you can help you make realistic revision and study plans. Don’t forget to include the fun stuff though! Use the Campus Life What’s On guide to see what events and activities are coming up.

2. Re-vamp your study spaceJanuary is the perfect time for fresh starts and a good place to begin is your study space. Why not clean your desk, organise your desktop and throw out all those pens that don’t work.

TOP TIP - Maybe you need to buy new stationary or notepad or buy a desk plant and stick up some motivational quotes - do what you need to do to re-inspire yourself!

3. If you need help or support, talk to someoneDepending on your need, there is always someone available in the University who can help you. Below is a list of some of the services and their contact details if you need to get in touch.

Student’s Union t: 0151 291 3707 e: [email protected]

TOP TIP - It is also a good idea to speak with your personal tutor if you have any questions relating to your course.

4. Plan a self-care daySelf-care is important, no more so than in the month of January – the weather is bad, funds may be running low and the holidays are over. Maybe your New Year resolutions are already broken or you’re struggling to keep up with them. It could be time to schedule in a self-care day. It doesn’t have to be a major thing either – it could be writing down what you’re grateful for or having a negativity cull on social media!

TOP TIP - Perhaps plan some time in at the gym or join one of the several fitness classes that Hope Park Sports has to offer.

5. Make plans with friendsWith the less than pleasant weather January brings us, it is easy to stay inside checking Instagram and watching Netflix all day but it is important not to isolate yourself. Why not message a friend you haven’t seen in a while? Or plan a flat night down in Our Place, or take a look at what’s coming up at the Capstone Theatre - as a student, you can quite often get free tickets!

TOP TIP - Maybe you could join a society or sports team during January’s refresher’s week and meet like-minded people?

6. Be kind to yourselfIt is easy to feel like you carry the weight of the rest of 2020 on your shoulders this month. Try to remember that it is normal to have huge January ambitions and goals and it is okay not to achieve them all straight away. If you have already given up on your new year’s resolutions – forgive yourself and recommit to them (if you still want to) or let them go and shift your attention from guilt to focussing on what is important to you today. January is about slowing it down so you can get back on track and build strong foundations for the year ahead!

TOP TIP - Give yourself credit for how far you have already come, get lots of rest and look after yourself!

Let’s make this our best year yet!
