-The thing that I'm looking forward to is also the thing that I'm most dreading, which is making friends. I mean what if there's no-one I like and I become a sad loner. -long holidays to watch TV and read books without feeling guilty that I should be doing revision -one step closer to figuring out what I want to do with my life (I'm hoping to get inspiration regarding my career choice at uni)
The freedom of being away from everyone who knows me! I've been waiting so long for this moment - my moment to run like the wind! Also it will be lovely to have my Friday and Saturday evenings back: I've been working them for one and half years! The change in surroundings is also very exciting as I sometimes feel very bored living where I am for so long. I just hope I won't be unhappy in my new town...
Making new friends Experiencing living in a new place that isn't the same as where I've lived for the past 18 years Being able to focus on the a subject I'm truly interested in Sounds weird but doing my own food shopping!
When you think about your future uni life.... what makes you feel super excited?

Spoiler
The fact that I can buy so many gym supplements + gym apparel from my student loan with little to no hassle since I'm living at home for my 1st year. Not to mention the potential scholarship money!
Better make the most of it
As well as meeting people with similar interests that are about life.

Beyond the education, I am looking forward to being around smart people constantly who will be able to have smart conversations.
I look forward to the musical opportunities.
And I hope to have my first boyfriend whilst at University.
And perhaps pick up a friend or few for life.
You have to remember that the only difference between you now and you at university is a summer. Those 'smart conversations' are only going to occur a small amount of the time. And even then, you'll meet a lot of people with very opposing views to you and will have to learn to deal with those conversations.
Musical opportunities: Yeah can't argue with that.
Boyfriend: Don't tie yourself down unless it's worth it. Uni is a great place to look for that love of your life. However, you may very well become a very different person to who you were before uni, and when you finish uni may be a very different person to who you were during uni. Your priorities may very well change. They did for me and all my friends.
Friends: You will make great friends. But I can almost gurantee that you will make only a handful of lifelong friends. Nothing wrong with that though, they have to be special
