Hi checking in. Hi Lljkk what subjects is she doing and what does she hope to do after yr13 uni?

Yes my DS has had a girlfriend since August last year too. I am hoping that if there is any heartbreaking to be donenit doesn't happen at a time where it would affect revision, exams etc!

I am checking in. DD is off to UCAS fair in 2 weeks. She has signed up for 3 open days. I have multi-reminders to get her railcard sorted out (she'll go to ODs on her own, although I offered to pay for a friend to go with her if she wants).

She declined to do math A-level at end of yr12 which I think was significant mistake. She suffers from exam anxiety & having one in the bg would have done a lot to reduce that for yr13, but heyho, it was her choice & at least she thought hard about it.

Among the challenges, DD has a (first) serious boyfriend. He may be good for going to OpenDays with her. Or he may break her heart. I stay tuned.

Checking in. DS decided on subject but University choices keep changing. I think I have booked more open days than we can attend!

Good title! Thanks for the new thread - DS is definitely still at the pondering stage!

This is a supportive thread for chatting about our Year 12s who may be heading to university, investigating apprenticeships, going down a vocational route or are just generally dazed and confused about their future.
