Gap year advice.

Hi

In the last week or so I've come to the decision that I'm going to take a gap year after I finish Yr13.

I'm currently predicted 3 A's. I did good/average in my GCSES - so I'm not overly worried about those. I currently study History, English and Criminology.

I have absolutely no clue what I want to do with my life/career and I'm not sure what uni I'd go to/what I'd study. So there's no point hurriedly trying to go to Uni for next year - it'd be a waste.

I don't know how suddenly all of my peers have decided what they want to do with the rest of their lives??

I'm autistic and I struggle with my mental health. I genuinely don't know how I'll cope with uni so I really want to prepare myself as best I can.

I'm planning on spending the year getting my driver's license, working, (I already have a part time job) going to the gym (getting fitter), volunteering, work experience (hopefully in a career I'd like to do), going to therapy and overall just gaining confidence whilst deciding what I want to do next.

Does anyone have any tips for me or advice? Or can share their own experience.

I need to have a meeting with my head of year to explain what I want to do and see if they can offer any support/advice.

Thanks in advance everyone :)

Tesco clubcard for 16-17 year olds

I didn't realise there was a clubcard just for 16-17 year olds, but I looked at what it offers and it is literally the normal clubcard but without online purchases, like genuinely who is using that.

Are there any study apps that track my studying hours offline?

I currently have study bunny, but I do a lot of studying at college where the wifi is terrible. I don't want to burn through mobile data to set the timer going whilst im studying there, but I always forget to log my hours afterwards. I wanna track my study hours so I know where I need to adjust my revision schedule
