University so far..

It’s been good, a hell of journey, I can feel the differences in myself already, it’s been hard living away from my parents and the friends I’ve had since I was 5. At first it seemed like a massive party as everyone always made out it was but once things had settled down, I realised I do actually have to do some work and I also realised how expensive life can be and that I couldn’t afford to go out anymore, ahh well. I know better for next semester, the biggest thing I’ve have to adapt to is definitely budgeting and money. I’ve had to give up spending money on make-up and unnecessary things. Although spending a fortune on Christmas presents didn’t help because I forgot to allow money for this when I budgeted. I may include some gifts ideas after I’ve given them to my friends.


I thought I’d include a few pictures of my Uni life so far.

Playing ring of fire!
Free cotton candy for freshers!

Massive Glow-sticks!
A few drinks in the local pub.. 
Pros
  • Meeting new friends
  • Living on my own
  • Cooking (This surprised me. I've been doing proper meals and everything!)
  • Going out (Even though it's only a few bars and clubs)
  • Appreciating what's at home.
  • Coming home makes Christmas feel so much more exciting and special!
  • celebrating my new friends birthdays, we are each others new family 
Cons
  • I miss the home comforts (like my bed)
  • I've never been this poor!
  • I can't budget
  • Assignments
  • Food shopping can be annoying
In conclusion (when did this get so serious?) I'm looking forward to the rest of the year, and next year hopefully i'll move in with some of my friends! (It'll be like one big sleepover)/
