The feeling of doubt and panic about the standard required at uni is something many students will be familiar with. If you’re also doubting your choice of subject, this can make things even harder.

It’s safe to say that uni is a scary experience. It will also - fingers crossed - be one of the best times of your life.

You’re finally out of education and feeling sad that it’s over is normal. As a shiny new graduate, getting your dream job will probably be your main focus. But what to do in the meantime? How do you beat them post-uni blues?

18 might be the age you grow up legally. But it’s only once you finish uni and start work that you really start feeling like an adult.
