Lost your confidence? Finding it as a question of emphasis
Sometimes losing your confidence can come from nowhere and really knock you sideways. Despite all you’ve achieved to get to university, it’s still so easy to lose your confidence, with the knock on effect this can have on your study, social life or university experience as a whole. Universities are full of people who know a lot more than you or can do things better than you. Other students appear so popular and at ease with everybody. There are students with incredible skills and talents in sport, music, politics, language etc. They can even make the perfect Sunday roast! Perhaps you were used to being top of the class at school, or the captain of your sports team, only to discover at university a whole bunch of other people who were top of their class or captains of their teams.
