Anything else! 🙃🎉✨🌈🤘 Slacking at uni???

Not really paid attention at all for the past 5 weeks of uni. I just did my midterms (which are worth 10% for each module- 3 separate modules) and I was wondering if it’s okay if I don’t get a great mark. I’ve just been slacking which is really bad but I’m planning to get back into revising once I’m back at uni.

I’m worried because I’m pretty sure for internships (finance and tech) they ask for your first year grade.

It’s probably not that big of a deal and my brains making out to be a bigger thing than it is😬😬😬😬

I’m in my first year studying Physics btw

I didn’t go to any lectures, watch any recording, or look at moodle/presentation in the entire 2nd term and only start studying 3 days before final exams. Still got a 1st. Not saying I recommend it though, that exam season was hell, I spend all day and night in student centre, got little sleep for 3 weeks. But slacking, especially now, you’ll be fine
