Nervous about starting university in two weeks?

Just a quick message for everyone out there starting as a fresher in a few weeks. It is completely normal to feel nervous. Here's what to do:
1. Get ready . Do your research on your halls, your course, the uni. Read their twitter feed, sign up to Facebook groups, learn your route to school every morning. Knowledge is power and will make you calmer.
2. Do all the admin. Choose your courses, select your modules, upload your photos and get all that stuff out of the way, build yourself a file of all the printed emails and documents you will need. Don't forget the school uniform fancy dress!
3. Don't for one moment think that you are the only one who feels like this. Everyone feels nervous. Wedge open your door, get some tea and biscuits in and paste that smile on. No one cares if you drink or play sports, or what you are studying - everyone finds friends, just relax and go with the flow. Don't ever turn down an opportunity to make friends, to try something new, to go somewhere; make your non drinking a joke and order wacky non alcoholic cocktails but go out. People judge you how you judge yourself, everyone wants to like you, everyone wants friends too. It is going to be amazing; believe that and it will be xx
