Two writers in their final year of university, give their campus resolutions and goals for the new year...

Alicia McEvoy:

For me, next semester is my final semester. I feel like there’s a lot more pressure on meeting deadlines. Of course, I want to do this, but I also want to soak up what could potentially be my final year in this city by exploring what’s around more or going for coffee with classmates. 

My main ‘Campus Resolution’ is to just show up, even for the classes where I haven’t done all of the pre-session work. It would probably be beneficial to be present in the class and listen to everyone’s discussions rather than hiding at home and trying to catch up. 

Amala Parry (Campus Comment Sub-editor):

As a third year heading into my final term of university, I set many goals to try and achieve the best possible grade for my degree. In semester one, I struggled to find the motivation to attend all of my scheduled seminars and lectures, but in 2025 I intend to make a change!

I'm more excited about my second-semester modules and I know that I have to apply myself if I want a good grade for my dissertation. I want to make more of an effort to attend my lectures, even if I only have one hour a day, so I can use the rest of my time on campus to focus on my assignments and dissertation.

Another goal I want to work towards this year is to find a graduate job. The prospect of leaving Uni and starting a real, full-time job is both daunting and exciting. I want to ease the stress of job-hunting a little by applying for some graduate jobs and hopefully getting some interviews (or at least some interview practice). Most importantly, this year I want to look after myself and not get too burnt out with Uni work and the stress of trying to find a job- it's more important that I enjoy my final semester in Newcastle!
