I have officially been a uni student for a whole week! 1 entire
week of independence and trying to figure out how to be a grown up. Well.. sort
of. My cooking skills haven’t been horrendous, I’ve managed to wake up on time,
find my way to my classes and somehow go out for 6 nights on the run. The
consequence of this was ‘freshers flu’ of course! What. A. Bitch. Therefore
tonight is a night in, playing cards and watching movies with my new uni family
who I have already become insanely attached to.

Here are some things that may help your first week away from
home easier:
- Fill your room with photos from home, it really
helps with homesickness and makes your room look fab.
- I decided to decorate, so matching covers,
pillows, towels, lamp, throw… my room has a colour scheme.. I love it.
- Freshers! Avoid heels at all costs. You are
allowed a 2 week pass of flats. Its allowed, I promise!
- Clothes for freshers was something I was panicking
about, but I decided the outfits I wore on holiday (see previous holiday posts)
were perfectly casual, teamed with flats for a sweaty club with a lot of underdressed
people.
- Find the nearest food shop to you, trekking back
to your flat becomes a lot harder without a car. Also learn to budget. It
helps.
- Think of easy food you can cook before you go.
If all else fails, everyone can cook a pizza right?
- Making friends is so important so don’t be shy, they’re
all scared too and you’ll find so many lovely people around you !
- Skype, facetime, tango.. whatever you use, video
calling is brilliant! Actually being able to see your family is so good!
- Go to all your welcome fairs and inductions! No
this doesn’t make you uncool, it makes you knowledgeable. And knowledge is
power!
- And finally if your shopping addiction is getting
the best of you, go to Primark, all their AW14 stuff is really good!
