I was nervous about:
- Making new friends at university. I had come from a private school, and was nervous that the types of people I'd meet at university might be extremely different from what I was used to at school, and that we wouldn't be able to relate to each other.
- Missing my old groups of friends, while they all made new friends at their universities and forgot about me.
- London expenses. I didn't want to ask my parents for money, but had pretty much no experience of budgeting. So in the first few weeks of university I was literally saving every single penny, worrying that I'd end up bankrupt.
- The possibility that I'd work very hard to do well on my degree, only to find myself unemployed at the end of it. I'd gone against my family's advice to do Medicine, which leads to a pretty much guaranteed well paying, stable career. So I was under a lot of pressure to make sure that I equalled/bettered that.
