Welcome back people! We hope you had a great weekend with some time off to relax and re-charge. Now it's time to take the next steps towards achieving your goal. Need to sound out some of your ideas? Come and speak to us, or check our materials online. We're here to help.

I was talking to a stage one student who is already anxious about their dissertation in stage three. Don't let the pressure get to you. Come and speak with an adviser, online or in-person, UG or PG. Easy! Book via the SAS homepage. University of Kent Graduate and Researcher College @unikentlanguages Student Support and Wellbeing, University of Kent

Take your study materials outside, you will learn some surprising things. Do this with others on your course, you all win. Opinions and perspectives shared, different approaches discussed, new information gets taken onboard. Apparently, it's going to get warmer at the weekend.

I should mention a hat too. You don't want to cook your brain on a 'steady simmer' setting. Want some help organising a revision schedule to prepare for your exams? Book an appt and come and speak to us. Online or in person 1:1. Kent Union University of Kent Graduate and Researcher College @unikentlanguages Student Support and Wellbeing, University of Kent

You might want to bring a colleague along to your academic advice appointment, or perhaps two, or even three. This could be helpful if you're working on a group project or if you feel you're wrestling with the same issues as a friend. We'll be pleased to welcome you.

Use the weather to your advantage. You could try forty minutes' revision, then have a ten minute stroll in the sunshine. Of course, the tricky part will be getting back indoors after ten. But I have faith in your commitment. ('Really?') Yes, really! @unikentlanguages @grckent

We'll be closed on Monday, but back with you by Tuesday. Make an appt, online or in person, if you want to talk through any issues with your studies. Happy May Day! @kentunion @grckent @unikentlanguages @unikentssw @unikentlibraryit

This could be the first time you sit end of year exams, or maybe the last, but we're here to offer support and guidance to help you achieve your ambitions. Why not make an appt, online or in-person, and come and talk to us. Great revision & exam resources on our web pages too.

We know that not everyone is a 9 to 5 person, so we are currently available from 8 to 6, on most days. Come along and discuss your academic work with us and move on with confidence. @kentunion @grckent @unikentlanguages @unikentssw @unikentlibraryit

Don't take our word for it, see what Kent students say. Skills for Academic Success - we are here to for every UKC student, foundation to PhD, all the way, helping with everything. Except doing the washing-up. @kentunion @grckent @unikentlanguages @unikentssw

This should give some relief from exam tension...

An international flavour for you, my brilliant friends!

Your graduation day is getting closer... don't forget those who helped you on your way.

And this year's Varsity winner is...

If you Google for an image of 'relaxed' you will find a whole bunch of people with their hands behind their heads. Try it. Frogs, however, seem to prefer their hands on their stomachs. What does that say about us? Or frogs? There could be a PhD thesis in there somewhere

Have no fear, we are here to guide and act as a sounding board for your exam concerns. Bring a timed essay and we'll discuss it with you. Let's look at a past paper together. Draw up a plan for a last minute revision schedule. Or just drop by for a cup of tea and a chat.

It's hot. And you have exams to take! Typical. Oh well, you've done your revision, so keep your cool and approach each paper calmly and carefully. And don't forget to read the questions!!! @kentunion @grckent @unikentlanguages @unikentssw @unikentlibraryit

Helping students at all levels is what we love to do. Come and see us. Now. In the summer. Next term. Next year. Whenever. You won't regret it. @kentunion @grckent @unikentlanguages @unikentssw @unikentlibraryit

Yes, we're still around. Come rain or shine, holidays or term-time, you can still come and talk to us. We're not here for the bank holiday on Monday; other things occupy our lives on such days (we should make some contribution to the ice-cream industry, after all). @kentunion

Keep a cool head when writing essays under exam conditions. Make a plan. Keep the question in mind when writing. Leave enough time for a quick read through at the end. @kentunion @grckent @unikentlanguages @unikentssw @unikentlibraryit
