Hope today has been a positive one for you (whatever it looked like) remember the academic year is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself and for the first few weeks prioritise routines and expectations - getting that right now will maximise learning time in the long run! #YouGotThis

That Sunday night feeling will be rife tonight. Try to unwind as best as you can, watch a film, have a hot bath, whatever helps you relax. If you find you can't sleep don't lie in bed thinking, jot things down on a pad or get up, do something different, then head back to bed.
