I am no longer a Fresher!
This first year at university has been the most hectic, life-changing, amazing, confusing and crazy. I originally had my heart set on the university of Bournemouth. However, after being accepted into BU, I just did not feel ready to move so far away; results day was very stressful for me but I made the decision to reject Bournemouth and here we are at Roehampton University- just 15 minutes from the heart of London.
I found a flat and shared with 3 other lovely girls but as my family home was only 45 minutes away, (and at the time of moving out my mum was admitted into hospital), I found myself being at home for the majority of the weeks. I was also travelling home to visit my boyfriend/he would be down so often and after a few months, I moved back to my hometown; saving a lot (A LOT) of money. I was well suited to commuter life - I'll make a whole post on commuter life/tips it the future- but it doesn't mean that my student and social life was affected; I made sure I still attended all my lectures and the uni events.
I am studying Mass Communication, which is a combination of media, culture and journalism; adding a bit of variety into my studying. The lectures and seminars could sometime drag, that's the learning experience I guess... Thankfully I had a great bunch of classmates and good friends to make it bearable. OH AND I PASSED WITH A 2:1!!!!!
This post was really just about looking back on this year and how much of a different path I took to what I planned this time last year. Uni has created so many memories this year (below are a few snippets) and I am super grateful. I start my second year in two weeks and although I know it will be mostly work and no play; I know it's going to be a good one :)
