As August slowly approaches and my last first semester of my final year approaches, I can’t help but feel stressed. It’s starting to overcloud the rest of my summer.
Studying Fashion Business and marketing has been one of the best decisions of my life and honestly, I’ve sailed through most of my modules and enjoyed most of them (I hated Trends Forecasting). But in final year the pressure is on its not like only 60% of my degree depends on it (it does).
Third year for me is made up of two marked modules and then a final un-marked module about self-promotion within the industry. It’s currently the 28th of July and I am already feeling the stress of my first module which is my DISSERTATION. Yes, I do my dissertation first don’t ask why because I don’t know. But this dissertation is like a looming cloud that I cannot get rid of. Every time someone asks me when I go back to Uni I am hit with a wave of panic, and I haven’t even started it.
The idea that in a month and a bit’s time I must speak in front of a room of lecturers and explain my initial ideas about my dissertation is sickening. I have zero ideas that will achieve the high level of standard I set for myself. Sometimes I will have an idea and instantly shut it down as I am too stressed to even think about it. So, at this moment I am well and truly screwed. I’m really hoping a two week escape to the English seaside will in fact inspire me but who knows.
If anyone has any tips, please let me know.
