University Week 0 (aka Freshers)

Hey everyone! So I am very sorry that I haven't posted. Yes again. But I have a good excuse this time, I promise. I finally made it to uni! I moved up here, spent two days unpacking, and then had a week of induction talks and going out.

So lets start of with my flatmates because you need to have a rough idea of who they are if I talk about them in future posts. First I met David. He is the only boy in our flat, and an Irish cricket plater. He was really nice and helpful when moving in because he helped bring all my stuff up three flights of stairs. Then there is Kat. Who has happened to be my friend for six years. It was a complete coincidence to be in the same flat together. Then there is Liv who is really nice, even though she forced me to go ice skating with her and I injured my shoulder. But at least she took me to A&E. And last is Anabelle who is the girliest in our flat. To be honest she spends more time downstairs than with us but she's cool. Just leaves behind a trail of mess every so often.

There isn't much more to say other than going out and meeting people. But will keep you updated. Or I will at least try.

Hope all the freshers out there are having a good time!

Ten Things to Look Forward to at University

So I have been thinking a lot about the future lately. Not super far, just the next few years. And I am excited but a little sad too. So if you read this blog regularly you will know that I should be going to university in a few months. And yes I have thought a lot about having the freedom to do what I want, go out when I want and be far from home. But there are lots of little simple things that I have only just realised that has made me really excited about going. Here is a little list-

1. I can wear whatever the hell I want! I am way to excited about this one. After having to wear school uniform for years and then sixth form clothes, I am thrilled to be allowed to wear jeans and a T-shirt every day. Hmmm... may need to buy more clothes. Shopping trip anyone?
2. Go out whenever I want to. No long lectures from mum or curfews.
3. Eat whatever I want. I get to choose what I fancy everyday. However, I may just end up forgetting to eat. Whoops.
4. Buying duvet covers and cutlery. Will be cool to have new bedding and have my own cutlery. 
5. Living in a new place. After living in the countryside for the last six years, living in the city will be different. Especially without my family.
6. Making new friends. I actually can't wait to meet new people in halls and have a bunch of new friends around all the time. This year all my friends are far away so having some close will be nice.
7. Living walking distance from my best friend. We have been living hours away from each other for the last two years and now we can see each other whenever I want.
8. New Stationary! because who doesn't love the smell of fresh paper and new coloured pens.
9. New subject to study. I am actually looking forward to learning new things. Especially because its mostly coursework based and not exams. God I hate exams.
10. Making new memories. Yes, I can be cheesy too.

So there you have it. My list of things I look forward to doing in September. Will probably have a post coming up about my plans for summer soon.
