I've kinda (unintentionally) not really been as active on here as I would've liked. My final deadline is in two weeks and everyone is working super hard to get stuff ready in time. I've also landed myself on that weird side of Spotify, where I find myself listening to suggested sleep playlists at 3am because i'm so stressed about the 14 things I didn't do in the day that I meant to.
I'm actually in my penultimate year at university, so September will be my last re-freshers/freshers week. That means i'm in that limbo summer where I feel an intense need to make everything amazing. Next year everyone will be getting jobs and moving away and starting their new lives, which is actually quite terrifying.
For anyone approaching the end of higher education, heres a slice of advice for you:
1. The clothes you buy in freshers thinking you'll wear on a night out, you won't. They'll just sit at the back of the drawer and collect dust. (This is just speaking from personal experience, if you do find something great in freshers then totally wear it)
2. Go on nights out that you want to go on. No one likes a rubbish night out, if you're stomaching that Sainsbury's house £4 wine you might as well have a good time.
3. There is also no shame in sitting in on a Friday night with a packet of biscuits and watching like, 14 of your favourite episodes on Netflix. I know my entire flat have slipped into this routine and no one is judging anyone.
4. Dominos is always a good idea. Two for Tuesdays just seals the deal.
5. Living with people teaches you a lot about yourself - pick a good bunch (I know I did). It is what you make it. You also learn how much grossness you can tolerate, which i've found out is surprisingly a lot.
6. Gravy chips are also a great idea at 3am, and so are curry chips, so is really any food. I've cooked eggs at 3am and remember them tasting amazing.
Everyone finds their feet after a while, 3 years is a large part of your life when you're growing up. Moving away from home is a big deal and it's very, very hard. It is, however, one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Good luck and give it everything you've got!
