On Wednesday, I listened to a lovely Literature tutor called David. He was completely on my level and I found myself nodding along to what he was saying. Things like not aiming for 100% on every assignment but rather focusing on the content and enjoying the course, even if this means you get a lower grade, you can use your tutor's feedback to build on your weaknesses.
As the Open University is almost entirely online there are not many opportunities to interact with your peers face-to-face (especially as a disabled student like myself) so we have lots of forums, Facebook groups and online spaces to get to know each other.
One of the polls from Student Hub Live was "What societies and clubs would you like to have?" and the responses included Hoodie/Zoodie Club, Cake and Biscuit Club and Lunchbox Club. Lunchbox Club is an inside joke because last year everyone sent in photos of themselves with their lunch boxes - even my Dad sent one in and he won a goodie bag for the best lunch box!
To support the OUSA (Open University Students Association) which every student is a part of, we have a shop and the hoodies look amazing! I have one myself and I hardly ever take it off.
That's it for now!
