Final rush times...

Dear UEL,

Deadline rush is upon us for the last time this year as we run back and forth from the library and try to nail that Harvard referencing we so long to fully master someday. Good thing we have the Summer Ball to look forward to...

I’m not going to ask how you’re doing this time. I’m not going to pretend I don’t know you’ve been up until 6am, drinking way too much coffee and wondering what in the whole wide world made you want to go to uni in the first place. But I know what it was for me, and at the end of the year, when the pressure is mounting, I tend to remind myself of it.

Every one of us has come to UEL a different way, but we’ve all got one thing in common: we’re trying to learn more, to do better. We wouldn’t be going to uni if we didn’t think it was going to help us in a process that, yes, does hopefully lead to a job and some cash, but also to a wiser, more confident version of ourselves. We want to transcend whatever barriers are put in front of us, and shut up forever the voices outside and in our head that tell us: you can’t do this.

Of course we can.

Best of luck on your end of year.

Sincerely,

E.
