Summary
Still Panicking: Summer is drawing to a close and a new term is about to begin, so this week we look back at Stevie and Tessa's top tips for easing back into school/university/work life.

Stevie and Tessa are both quite bad at getting up in the morning, and so have an array of tips to help you (and them) drag yourself off the mattress. Spoiler alert: what you do the night before is very important.
