Hello.
I am a third year undergraduate psychology student with a one year old son. I took a gap year and transferred universities in order to be a full time mum for a year. I have joined this community to chat with others and help anyone who may be in a similar situation as me and need advice/someone to talk to.

    Hi @kyraroseb

    Welcome to The Mix community. It is great to see you have joined us. I think it is amazing that you have the determination to go back to uni after becoming a mum and a gap year. I am sure there will be many people here who are in similar situations so you will be fabulous at helping us all out! You can always talk to us, about uni or general life. Is there anything specific you want our advice with? We can give it our best try :)

    Hi,
    I hope you’re well also!
    I absolutely love it! It’s hard work, but if you have a passion for the subject it keeps you motivated to do it. I’m sad that this will be my final year, so I’ll hopefully carry on studying in the future.

    Welcome to the community @kyraroseb! Good of you to look out for others. It sounds like you're juggling a lot too, so if you ever need an ear you're welcome to chat to us. :)
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.
    I no longer work at The Mix! If you need anything, message or tag @TheMix

    Yes @kyraroseb! I couldn't agree more with "if you have a passion for the subject it keeps you motivated to do it". This sentence is probably the driving force for studying for my Masters degree (in a pandemic!). Hopefully, you will find more studying opportunities in the future. I always believe learning happens every day, even if it is as CPD! Make the most of your last year :)
