What's the wobble all about?
Starting a new term is exciting, but a few weeks in, the reality of deadlines, coursework and juggling everything else can start to kick in. If you're feeling a little overwhelmed, stressed or just not quite finding your feet, you're definitely not alone.
That's where Wobble Week comes in! Wobble Week is a student-led initiative designed to bring people together, raise awareness of the support available at Birkbeck and give everyone a chance to take a breather.
Throughout the week, you can find out more about academic support to help you navigate your studies, explore wellbeing and counselling services, and get involved in student events and activities designed to bring people together. It's all about finding a bit of support, making new connections and reminding yourself that we're all figuring things out as we go!
A little support goes a long way
Know what's out there: From academic support to wellbeing and counselling, there are plenty of resources available at Birkbeck. Wobble Week is a great opportunity to find out what's on offer and where to turn if you need a hand.
A reminder that you're not alone: University life isn't always plain sailing. Feeling stressed, uncertain or overwhelmed is more common than you might think, and there's no shame in having a wobble.
Meet new people: Whether you're new to Birkbeck or have been here for a while, making connections can make a big difference. Wobble Week is a chance to meet fellow students, try something new and spend some time together.
Find your community: University is about more than lectures and deadlines. Getting involved, sharing experiences and meeting people can help you feel more connected to the Birkbeck community.
