My First Term

University is like your first steps, it fascinating and freedom building but also its frightening and you don't know whether you would accomplish it. You are so happy that you have made it and that you are making the 'first steps' towards your dreams but then you are also thinking about whether you can do it, whether you have what it takes to make it through. Unlike taking your first steps, university is more than the activity it is about everything else that comes with that activity. So not only do you have to deal with the struggles that come with the course that you have taken, you also having to deal with meeting new people, adjusting to total independence, living without family and loved ones and adjusting to a whole new lifestyle. It may sound like my experiences at university have only been negative but there has been positives. 

Positive experiences of my first term: 

  • Going home, releasing how much I had grown up and knowing that I had changed for the better 
  • Finding that my relationships with friends and family had grown stronger because time apart meant that there is more appreciation for relationships 
  • Making friends that I know I will probably have for life 
  • Trying new things that I haven't before and even though I didn't always stay, I tried
  • Being in catered halls has meant that what food I eat is very restricted by what is available so I have been trying new foods and increasing my palette 
  • Getting a 2:1 on my first essay which gave me a boost of confidence with myself and made me believe that I can actually do this 

I am very excited to be going home for Christmas because it is my favourite time of year and I can't wait to be spending a whole month with my family and friends. This time is very much needed but I also can't wait to come back in the New Year and learn more new things. 

Merry Christmas
