I'm wobbling

[bottleofbeer]

41, just finished level 5 bar two exams and feel like I've academically reached my peak.

It's stupid, my grades aren't bad but I feel like a fraud and any day they're going to tell me I shouldn't be there. Someone tell me they felt this and did ok in the end x

Imposter syndrome! It's horrible, but it's so, so common.

You wouldn't be there if you weren't capable of getting to the end. You're not a fraud.

Can you arrange to talk to your tutor and explain that you're worrying? They ought to be able both to reassure you and to tell you honestly how your grades are looking and how your progress seems to them.

My grades so far are apparently indicative of a first. But I won't get one. I just know I'll fall at the last hurdle.

Thanks for replying 😊
