What I Wish I Knew Before My Final Year Started

[gregoryrobinson]

Final year of uni honestly felt like a rollercoaster for me. Between trying to stay on top of lectures, figuring out future plans, and juggling a social life, it got overwhelming fast. One thing that really tripped me up was choosing a dissertation topic—I spent way too long overthinking different primary education dissertation topics before realizing I just needed to go with something I was curious about. Looking back, I wish I’d stressed less about picking the “perfect” topic and trusted myself more. If you’re in the same boat, just know it’s okay to not have it all figured out. Take it one step at a time, talk things out with your peers or supervisor, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. You’ve got this.
