[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 68058, member: 1160"] Hi there, I am so pleased to see so many people have responded. I think the best thing you can do right now is really really focus on getting the best degree marks and grades that you can and if you have the time, try to get involved with extracurricular activities you love and try and get some work experience where possible. I say try and get the best degree grades you can because they, of course, do form part of an application, but work experience and extracurriculars cannot be underestimated. I also love that someone recommended aspiring solicitors above, Rare recruitment is another excellent organisation. Absolutely apply for training contracts. I really advise you to try and engage with firms as best as you can this cycle and when recruitment events really pick back up again at the start of the next cycle because graduate recruitment will be able to advise you in terms of your individual circumstances. I think my best advice to you from my own experience is don't become consumed with 'life after uni'. At uni, you have much better access to extracurriculars and opportunities for personal growth and development so really do seize those whilst you have the chance. It can be a bit disconcerting when everyone around you is applying to XYZ but just focus on your aspirations and getting the best degree that you can. You seem like a really driven, motivated and hard working person and I would really advise everyone at the minute not to be overwhelmed by 'hustle' culture which I think has really permeated in the last few years. Everyone does everything at their own pace and there isn't any need to have lots of spinning plates at any one time. I think for now, just focus on your degree and being at university and I assure you it will all work out, please try not to put too much pressure on yourself or worry. Hard work and perseverance pays off in the end! [/QUOTE]
