Lancaster Uni: Official Students 13/14!

That's not disorganisation, that's just manly organised chaos but i am trying to be organised nowadays - like I'm determined to not let my room get messy when i get to lancaster :') I know, i'll be severely disappointed if i finish freshers feeling well rested!

Haha if you say so! Same, or at least only a little bit messy, they're too small to let all the mess pile up! Well I mean they're decent sized for student accommodation, I just have a big room at home :') Definitely! Although I hope to still have some energy, and I am praaaying that I don't get freshers flu! or that if I do its not too bad :')

Hahaha, I think i might genuinely have a bigger room there than i do at home, so i'm gonna be revelling in extra space anyway, even if i am really messy :')
What's up with freshers flu? I've heard things about it from people at uni and it just sounds so silly

My rooms really big and it has a big wardrobe/bookcase all along one wall I'm going to struggle with having less space so much :') Going to try and keep it tidy :') Well basically since you're exposed to new people from all over the place, you get exposed to new germs, sorta the same as you do when you start a new school etc except on a bigger scale :') So basically you can get colds/flu from these new germs :') Some people are completely fine and don't get it at all and some get it pretty bad, a mixture of luck and how good your immune system is I guess!

Sorry to intrude on the conversation here but Freshers Flu is real and annoying. I went to a different uni last year and had freshers flu for 6 weeks, although my flat mate broke my rib and I ended up with a chest infection which was pretty annoying but my whole flat got it and I'm not looking forward to it this year, so good luck you may be a lucky person who doesn't get it but most people on campus will.

Don't forget the excessive amounts of alcohol as well as the suddenly poor diet

But yeah, lots of people get ill with colds etc. after the first couple of weeks. Thankfully, I've survived two freshers weeks without getting ill so it is possible.

You can tell you properly took advantage of being the baby of the family - meanwhile i'd consider moving into a cupboard under the stairs as an upgrade Well, i'm gonna keep my fingers crossed because my immune system has been battered before, hopefully it can take on meeting a few new people and all that :') I'll seriously be upset if i do catch it then, i don't want to miss anything

Haha no it's only usually in Freshers because of all the new people and alcohol and being outside at silly hours. If you don't drink you may be fine but once people in your flat/house get it your screwed. It didn't last that long with most people I was just a special case. I thought it would be fun to scare you though

Haha yeah, my brother used to run round after me when I was younger! I think I'm just quite lucky to have a big house and only one sibling! :') Been clearing out junk from my room before I go to uni, I have so so much crap, so I guess one negative of a larger room is you tend to hoard things, whereas if i'd needed the space I'd of cleared them out years ago :') Seriously I still have Sylvanian families dolls in my wardrobe :') Naaat good at clearing things out :')
Yeah me too! hahah defs not a rumour unfortunately :'(

Well my boyfriend had it last year, so i know how bad it can be! I managed not to catch it from him, but he had it quite bad so I'm hoping to try be a little careful, ie washing hands alot and not eating too badly/drinking too much :') My immune system is generally pretty good so fingers crossed :')

I can already tell you're mean - scaring poor little newbies for fun and all well i'll face it head on 'cause the drinking is kinda part of the experience! But it would amuse me if you got it again!

If I don't get it again it will be a miracle, my immune system is awful. Yes drinking is part of the experience definitely. I'm just aiming to get rid of it within two weeks this time I don't think there are any lifts in Lancaster so shouldn't be getting a broken rib this time, unless someone takes a strong disliking to me or I fall down the stairs. Which means I should be able to get rid of it quicker, I may just be making excuses though as six weeks is appalling. Can't wait anyway even if I do have to get stupid freshers flu.

What college are you in?

I'm doing Marketing Management, so that's close. It's unlikely either of us will find someone doing the exact course, last year your course only had 16 people and mine had 15 (from open day PowerPoint)
