Whether you are having trouble settling in as a new student, starting your final year at UCL, still trying to find those extra 1,000 words for your latest essay or just realising you are not so great at multitasking, we all go through stressful times in our lives.

Next Wednesday make sure you take some time to stop and take note of how you are feeling. Be proactive, if you are feeling stressed make sure you talk to a friend, partner, family member or your personal tutor.
