Hey,
As a 3rd year this is a scary word and is rarely said! Even writing this is making me feel stressed just thinking about it but I thought it would be the best time to do it as you will get a true insight into what it takes to do one!
I have to do a 8000 word literature review.
I had thought of my topic before coming into 3rd year as I knew I wanted to do something neonate based but this got changed due to not being able to narrow it down enough. I now have my topic and I'm crossing everything that I don't have to change it again. The one thing to remember when you do it is that every supervisor wants something slightly different so it's very difficult to talk about it with friends because their supervisor may want something done in a different way and it gets extremely confusing and you start doubting yourself.
It's all about pleasing your supervisor.
The longest part of this whole thing is getting all the information to write it and in my eyes is the most stressful but mine is finally starting to come together and with the first section of 500 words done its a massive weight lifted!
The main thing with this is organisation; get yourself organised from the beginning!!
This is something that takes up a lot of your life for 6 months so priorities your time well and before you know it will be done....I'm hoping!
