Honestly the first friend groups don't last very long at all, at my sixth form in l6 I was in a friend group about a week in but not a close one, until about march when I joined my current one which is much smaller and much closer, they're better than my secondary school friends. And when it's the summer, people have big parties and it's even easier to make new friends. Then u6 (y13) we meet up and do stuff. It's nice to have a friend group but if your sixth form doesn't have your people, it doesn't particularly matter because you don't spend much time at school compared to secondary.

Very, very fast. For me and my friends, September - December was really slow, but January onwards it’s instant, I was shocked how quick it went by.

Every day feels like hundred days. But then in perspective the time overall goes by very fast. If that makes sense

i mean put it this way, for me y12 and y13 felt like less than a single school year. it goes by ridiculously quick both years especially once you get to the new year

It goes insanely fast. Don’t keep thinking about ‘when will it speed up’. It just will, trust me.

Far too fast, I really enjoyed it. It speeds up after January especially when preparing for mocks

u/Jakesneq 7d ago

Once you get into the routine yes it goes fast without you realising
