[QUOTE="Selina, post: 7150, member: 759"] It's a relief to know that I'm not the only one who's been finding it difficult! I have always found juggling both uni work and writing quality applications a struggle - in the end, I chose to focus on my studies in final year as I reasoned that you only have one chance at your degree whereas you can always apply to VS/TCs the next year. Now that I'm working full-time I hardly have any free time to do applications! I decided to take a more relaxed approach over Christmas to stop myself burning out and becoming too stressed. I cut 2 firms from my To Apply list and even though it was hard and felt a bit like a failure, I felt a lot more relieved for it and it gave me significantly more time to do the one I was already working on. Ultimately it's a long road ahead but I'm holding onto the hope that everyone gets there eventually! Just trying to enjoy the process in the meantime, however difficult it is. I've found that doing a little each day, however tiny an amount, helps - e.g. on my morning commute, I make notes on any daily news I find interesting and listen to business podcasts! Good luck with your apps everyone, we've got this! :) [/QUOTE]
