What I expect from third year at university.

Okay, so the last two years at university has flown by, now I'm moving into my third and final year. Scary stuff. Before getting into university, they said that it would fly by... and it has. But, this blog post is about what I expect from my final year.

Walking around the campus or meeting people on nights out from third year, they tell you that it's hell. Piles of coursework and don't forget the dissertation (or portfolios). I'm used to the coursework and I'm now planning my dissertation, but you then realise that this is the last chance to get some good marks. Personally, I'm aiming for my 2:1 and that would make me over the moon, it seemed like in first year I got my top marks... but that year doesn't count. So, this year - I'm going to try my best and more to achieve my best possible grade.

Now, I'm not going to inform you what my dissertation title is - it's still a working progress (plus, I don't want anyone to steal it) (ha) but, I think I'm going to be very interested in it. It mainly studies stylistics (I do English by the way) and the classic book of Grimms Fairytales that I'm really excited to read and start analysing it. Yes, this is a last minute change to my other title - it still involved stylistics, but I'll enjoy this more.

As it's the final year, you want to make it a memorable one. Meaning, I hope there'll be time to go out and socialise. Of course there is always the house parties once in a while, so I think they'll make a come back... especially when all coursework and exams are over and we're free! (until you start to worry about no one hiring you) (argh)

The subjects I'll be taking for my final year are; voices of the American West - for my literature module and stylistics for my language module. Alongside these are the dissertation module and the dissertation advantage (extra module for credits) to help you write the actual thing. Then, there are my creative writing modules which are screenwriting and scripts. All, I'm really excited for!

What I've learn from second and first year is:
Coffee.
