Health and second year

One of the defining periods of Level 5 for me was the first month of the first term.

At the end of summer I began to get ill and ended up being in bed for the first 3 weeks of university. I struggled to do anything and was in pain, so didn't come to university at all. As a result I fell behind and struggled to catch up in the first module, producing work I was not happy with. Being bed ridden also really affected my mental health and my anxiety reached a peak. This really impacted the way I was living.

However after recovering from this, I feel as if my personal life, wellbeing and more significantly, university work has vastly improved. I have been very happy and able to produce more work, and to a higher standard. 

This was a pivotal moment in this year and I am glad it happened at the beginning of the year as it has been a learning curve for me and has shaped my development this year.
