Freshers
was a blur of some work, but mainly play. Even if I said I wasn't going out, I
would end up in the kitchen downstairs in my disco pants with a vodka and coke
in my hand, always. There were three of us in the flat upstairs (we were third
floor, grrr!) and seven in the flat on the ground floor plus numerous friends
spread out across the city. I finished with 60%, and I was chuffed.
Second year involved a lot more hard work on my behalf and boy did it show. I raised my grade by 6% and ended up getting no lower than 62 all year (including two firsts which I never thought possible!). I was shocked but very happy, despite being incredibly lost for the first month or so and crying alot on my bed worrying about how on earth I was going to finish the degree, I had actually done really well. There were fun times too though, highlights were birthdays (obviously!) and house parties which resulted in a stupid amount of bottles having to be thrown away from one night. The summerball was another highlight, as this year ALL of our friends were there which made the night even better.
Now the
real work starts. I've sat a lot of times this summer pondering what on earth
I'm going to do my dissertation on, and now in a couple of weeks time it will
all become real once more.
On the bright side, I'm so excited to be sharing a house that is a 15 minute walk away from Dan's, living with three of my closest friends in Canterbury, doing a course I love and having at least four 21st birthdays already booked in for the first month that we are back! I'm excited to get stuck back in, and I think last year prepared me more for my third year so hopefully I won't feel as lost in the first few weeks!
Are you at University? Do you have any tips for third year? Or questions/advice needed if you are a fresher?
