So I’m having one of them days today, you know the ones where you want a cuddle and a good cry while watching some soppy romantic films? Yep that.
I sat in my lecture in university today thinking ‘what am I even doing here’. Isn’t it annoying when you just don’t understand what the heck is going on but everyone around you understands it and then more?
I think I need a good sleep, probably while watching a soppy film.
Just letting off a bit of steam here haha sorry.
Adiosssss
So this is my first real life post; how exciting…
Basically as my first intro post said I am currently at university studying nutrition, well food, health and nutrition; I am in my 2nd year and I think I have survived pretty well.
Obviously freshers term is almost over, semester one always goes pretty quick, but you youngen’s who will be sending UCAS applications off may have not quite decided what you want to do, whether its commuting and staying at home or leaving the comforts and living on your own in halls of residence.
If i had any advice to students deciding what they want to do it would be to fly the nest. I know how hard it sounds, I have been there, I am such a home bird and the thought of moving away from my younger brothers and parents was so scary and I dreaded it for months.
I then decided to bite the bullet and move about an hour away from home to Leeds, it is far enough to live away and have the experience but close enough to come home if and when i felt homesick.
I have always stood by my decision because living in halls of residence helped me make some of the friends that I hope to have for the rest of my life but more importantly it gave me extra time in bed. I am the queen of sleep.
Moving out also gave me the independence i needed, believe it or not I was 18 and had never done my own washing, this was a shock to the system. At first I took all my washing home when i went for a visit but about 3 months into the year I decided it was time to take the long grueling walk to the launderette and be a grown woman and do it, you know its not that bad.
It also gave me the confidence to be me, these people didn’t know my past and they didn’t have a clue who I was, so it was time to start a fresh, leave old grudges and hatred behind and just be confident and make friends by being myself. Obviously you will make friends if you commute from home but you are not with these people 24/7 so you don’t get to know these people as well as you know your housemates.
Yeah, there are times you just want some space or people will get on your nerves but that is the beauty of it, you grow as a person and learn to become more tolerable of other people and their actions and understand that not everyone is the same as you and some people do have disgusting habits (such as leaving their dirty pots for weeks in the sink, ewww).
Obviously the decision is always your own and you should never let anyone pressure you in to doing something you don’t want to do but it is a great experience and you will (hopefully) meet some of the greatest friends ever.
Hope I have done some convincing or made things a little clearer, fingers crossed.
adiosssssssss.
I really don’t know how to start this off…
Well my name is Olivia, I am a 20 year old nutrition student, I have been contemplating doing this blog malarkey for a while now and I have just decided to bite the bullet and go for it.
I suppose this is a kind of get to know me session;
I like tea (such a northern thing i know), i am slightly crazy, i watch too many episodes of dance moms in a day and i am queen procrastinator- think that fully sums me up.
As far as the content of this blog goes i haven’t quite figured that out, it will be random and erratic just like myself, could be anything from my random adventures, tips on university to my monthly favorites.
Cyaaaaaaaa.
