BRUTALLY HONEST REVIEW: MY FIRST TERM AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY (+ MY END OF TERM REPORTS!) 

Can’t help to notice that you’ve lost your accent a bit, Eve!!

I'm sure your tutor is great, but I imagine they are only looking at your life from an academic perspective (understandably) and not really taking into account the benefits of maintaining your social life which is obviously not their personal concern. You know yourself better than anyone and you will make the right decision for you. However if I were in your position I would keep working at that high 2:1 (which is an excellent grade anyway) and enjoy my life. You can always work towards that first when it counts towards your degree

I’d say aim for a 2:1, but work extra hard over Easter. That way if you get a 2:1 you’re happy and got what you wanted, and if you manage to get a 1st you’ll be overjoyed! If you aim for a 1st and don’t get it you’ll be disappointed with a 2:1 even though that’s very good for your first year!!

congratulations! hopefully the first of many many more successful terms!

All the hate comments are dripping with jealousy I swear to god 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m so so incredibly proud of you, I have been watching your channel since I was in year 9 (now in year 11 ) you have inspired me to work hard to try and reach for my goals, I love your videos so much, I don’t miss a single video you post. Congratulations and let’s hope for more success in your life, love you ❤️

Congratulations!!❤️, I hope you’ll do amazing for the rest of your journey at oxford✨, we’re all proud of you!! xxxx

Eve, I’ve been watching you for years now, you’re such a big inspiration for all of us. I’m a 3rd year med student, so I know Uni can be too much, but you’re handling it like a queen. Huge love from Hungary xx

I’m so glad you love oxford!! I’ve loved your vlogs and they keep me going through A levels which are sTrEssINg mE oUT but I’ll be at university next year so it should all be worth it !! Well done on first year✨🎊

Well done for completing your first time and so successfully Eve! I'm glad you're loving Oxford, you've worked so hard for it! Enjoy yourself and make choices based on your true feelings. Don't let anything else influence you <3

EVE I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! ur insane and i wish you the best of luck. you deserve all the best in the world xx

I was living for your vlogs this term! Helped me survive my 1st semester of grad school, so I hope you continue with them because they're very realistic!

eve! don't be disheartened, theses uni Vlogs are my fave videos you've ever made, and theres no better feeling than coming home from Saturday school (ik ughhh) and watching ur weekly vlog!

Congrats, Eve! ❤ I am so happy that you had a great time. Oxford is really a huge bubble, to be fair...I'm studying at Oxford Brookes and it is a challenging yet lovely experience. I am glad that I chose to do Publishing Media..the course it's very interesting :)

Well done Eve! I also study languages at Uni and it’s so difficult! Proud of you, keep it up! Love youuuu 💛

Honestly i'm just so happy you're happy!! makes me very excited for uni and motivated to grind in my final year of hs so i can get into the uni and the degree i just know i'll love, even if it's a tough slog xxx

I didn't know you wanted to go into journalism! I'm in Year 13, and I've been watching your videos since Year 9 or 10. You've helped me so much with both academics and self confidence. I plan on studying Journalism at uni next year. 💖

As someone who graduated 2 years ago, I agree you should enjoy your first year at uni and not worry about getting a first. Of course it will look good if you do, but like you said you sold your soul at alevel and it's time for you to enjoy yourself! You seem more than capable to get the first so focus on getting the grade when it counts towards your final mark in second and fourth year and enjoy yourself because you deserve it! I got a solid 2:1 when I graduated and I probably could have pushed myself more but when you look at grads schemes, most require a 2:1 so have fun girl! 😀

Aaaah i'm so happy for you and your mental health and everything! I find it so fun that i can second basically everything you say, i feel the same in soo many aspects!! (I'm studying maths at Oxford, first year student as well... Obv i can't say anything about essays but about how i'm feeling, how i'm using my time etc.) Hope to one day run into you! :)

Congrats on finishing your first term - it looked amazing from the vlogs! I'm very happy for you, and it seems like you're really enjoying it. There'll always be a bit of stress (or a lot of stress... looking at you, IB!), but don't let yourself get bogged down by it! You're exactly right in what you've said: everything I've heard from parents and friends seems to be "enjoy yourself at uni - it's all about social experiences, and learning to balance adult life basically." Hopefully there'll be many more happy terms!
