By MOSH - The Intake of 2014/15Ben:Sorted my life out. The course takes up the majority of your time and you don’t want to havethings hanging over your head when you start. Get it all sorted, right down to tidying yourroom so from day one your attention can be on the work. Mojo:Perfect my time management Sam:Be a shit ton better at all the Adobe stuff!! Zoe:Learnt the art of meditation. Marco:I would have a bigger picture and a different attitude. James:I would have made lunch at home more often and brought it in with me. The amount ofmoney I have spent on lunch out in Brixton is obscene. Edwina:I would be more aggressive with pursuing the people I want to work with. Charlie:Gone out more Frazer:Put myself forward as head boy so I got keys to the school. J.T.:I wish I Concentrated on finding a partner earlier. Ashley:Scamped, scamped and scamped some more. Soren:I would have kept reading books, use more time on making my brain think more simple. Adam:Hibernated from the moment I got a place. Woke up on day one. Mads:Move closer to the school. Teddy:Discover the Kaff earlier. Michael:Actually follow the plethora of creative techniques. Rob:Have more confidence in myself. Ed:Made some friends. Marcella:I wouldn’t have sign up to a very expensive gym membership for a 5 months bundle - neverwent and wasted money. Tom EB:I definitely would have listen to all the previous 'Advice for the new intake' from BARK scabsand actually put them into practice; Networking, working hard and starting early. Being waymore productive with my time. I would also make sure to live closer to brixton so I could getdrunk more often. Clarissa:It annoy’s me that I leave most things to the last minute, I can’t really work unless I’m under alot of pressure, it’s the only way I can make myself focus and I often work till around 4 or 5 inthe morning without stopping. It’s the worst habit and I wish I could learn to time manageand not stress myself out for the sake of it and do work in good time. I’m working on itthough. Nick:Leave the studio more often. Annie:Maybe had a bit more confidence in myself... Nothing could have prepared me for what camewith SCA but I wouldn't change a thing. A lot of hard lessons are learned, a lot of talent isnurtured and it's one of the best environments you could've end up in. Dounia:Bring my lunch! Nathan:Leant how to salsa dance. Jaquie:I would have learnt how to use illustrator and photoshop earlier. Fiona:I would have learnt to dance for town hall. Tom M:Spend less time worrying and more time doing. Pugh:I wish I'd started wearing underwear sooner. Madame Georgia:Je ne regrette rein,C'est payé, balayé, oubliéJe me fous du passéAvec mes souvenirsJ'ai allumé le feu Lucy:Learnt a bit of photoshop/illustrator before I came. Eytan:I would have slept more. Alex:I wish I had sent more thank you cards. Jezza:Start everyday by a drawing, ends everyday with a better one. Nina:To collect more dots. Lawrence:Maybe I would’ve picked a safer personal brand. One more people can get behind. Probablycrafted a catchphrase for it too, something supportive like: “great work." Stephen:Worried less. Joel:Worked harder at referring to the notes. It’s annoying having to learn things several times.
