And in ways we totally didn't see coming. That's the thing: We have all these expectations (and so does everyone else!) but you can't know a thing until you're in front of it, until you're IN it, until you're living it.<br /><br />So take a deep breath and remember to have fun. You're going to do great!We Heart YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418854853031344928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201604919470357087.post-70694194815681955512014-09-11T17:15:29.721+01:002014-09-11T17:15:29.721+01:00Hi Cicely :)
Don't be afraid! Yes the first f...Hi Cicely :)<br /><br />Don't be afraid! Yes the first few weeks will be frightening. You barely know anyone, then there is the thing with organizing your classes, your home and pretty much your new life: but you will get used to it.<br /><br />As much as it frightens you now, you will start to love being on your own and making new friends from week to week as well as from class to class. When I started living on my own in a different city away from my family, I was really afraid to even leave my apartement. I'd go out for classes and grocery shopping but not for drinking and clubbing. And that is okay! Nobody will think that you are boring. Just tell them that this is not what you like to do. Tell them more about you! Nobody will judge you or make fun of your preferences. After being a student for three years, I actually go out to drink once in a while but not in clubs just with some friends.<br /><br />So don't feel obligated to join those parties. Just stay true to your feelings and tell your friends-to-be the truth. They will accept you and your decisions. <br /><br />If you have any questions, regarding uni or just want to talk about something, feel free to write me!<br /><br />(Just leave a comment on my blog^^ (don't worry I'm not advertising my blog..))<br /><br />I wish you good luck with everything!<br /><br />CherryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201604919470357087.post-20688783017415430722014-09-10T19:39:52.706+01:002014-09-10T19:39:52.706+01:00Hi Cicely :)
Please, don't worry! I'm a t...Hi Cicely :)<br /><br />Please, don't worry! I'm a third year uni student, and I had the exact same thought process before I started uni in 2012. I like reading, the internet, and TV - I hate alcohol and new people scare me and all that. I got steadily more nervous and sick and freaked out as summer wore on, terrified that I would make no friends and be that socially awkward person in the corner who sat in her room all day.<br /><br />But when you get there, everyone is in the same boat as you. No one knows anyone, and everyone is amazingly friendly because they really want to make friends. And although you are right in that you pretty much have to 'get out there' and go clubbing and boozing in freshers week, it's not compulsory to go out every night. I only went out clubbing twice during freshers week, and spent the rest of the week at freshers fair (which is awesome - sign up to as many clubs as you can and get lots of free stuff) and hanging out watching films and X factor in the common room. <br /><br />As regards to classes in first year, they are actually surprisingly fun! No more difficult than A Levels, and the lecturers make a real effort to keep you interested (so you don't drop out and they lose money!) and don't overload you with work. Most people don't get the best grades in the first semester because they've been through such upheaval, but lecturers mark leniently, and in 2nd semester you are getting into the groove and it's a lot easier.<br /><br />I hope that's put you at ease a little bit. Good luck with everything :)<br /><br />Amy.<br /><br />(if you have any questions or anything, I'm @amylaurenwrites on twitter)Amy U'Renhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161388736282408311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201604919470357087.post-23852305065554876642014-09-08T17:09:00.707+01:002014-09-08T17:09:00.707+01:00Yes!
