Hola amigas/amigos I'm back and I'm bored!...
So just read through my last post and upon recognizing that the last time I wrote was when I had my TC v Mason/Robbers v Cops night I realized I have been a terrible blogger and completely unreliable poster for those of you left who perhaps read this shambles of nonsense. But by any means with xmas almost here and my holidays officially begun I thought I'd spend some of my excessive spare time by writing this post and rambling on as per usual so listen up and enjoy!
Firstly I cannot comprehend how quickly my first term at uni has gone, the fact that realistically I am more than a third of the way into my first year makes me shiver with shock and cry a little with sadness as I truly want uni to never end.
I'm not going to lie and pretend I spend the majority of my uni life doing law related work, because I don't despite the unlimited reading that is thrust upon us, the main part of my life certainly consists of mostly socializing, making memories and being a true uni student.
Any of you who may be worried by the prospect of uni after recently receiving offers, then don't! It is the MOST amazing experience and I am jealous of all you freshers for next year (esp at Bham) as you have so much to look forward to! Despite the fact that at Bham we are lucky enough to get refreshers after xmas and exams this year (I know, jel much?
) I am envious of the 2014 freshers who will I'm sure be already getting excited about the idea of uni.
Another random update is that me and some friends have offically signed a contract for a house next year in the student village next to the uni called selly oak, it makes me feel excessivley grown up by the prospect of bills and renting our own house however I am looking forward to being such a short distance from the neccessary places in life, Aldi (for cheap booze and food) as well as the well loved pubs 'the goose' and 'the soak' which if you decide to go to Bham you will learn are the places to be. I am to be living with 2 of my current guy flatmates alongside 2 girls from upstairs and 1 girl and 2 guys from downstairs, so a fair few of us (8 if you can#t count like me) in comparison to the measley 5 now but it will be exciting to live with them!
In terms of 'going out' me and my uni friends stand strong with our perciverance to stubble around late at night and dance on the sofas till the morning despite the increase in workload and decrease in money. Being in a city means that I am able to experience a range of nightlife and student nights, some of which I will digress to you now, so listen up would be Bham students esp!
Mondays - gatecrasher, as the biggest club in the UK it is the place to be, esp as mondays is student night and at nly £4 a ticket and £1 jagerbombs and shots you can't really go wrong, naugtyhorse promotitions organise this event so keep on the lookout for their horse mascot and the free t'shirts that will leave you fighting to the death with another student for.
Tuesdays - stupid tuesdays, named because of their cheap drinks with most being a measley £1 you can still afford a takeaway the next day or a late night, drunk trip to the cheap chicken shop. Also at the new, expensivley built club players you can expect it to be relativley clean and unscruffy for at least a few months...
Wednesdays - Although you can travel to the likes of subway city with £10 entry and 10 free drinks and snobs with it's indie music the night to be is the guild, providing you are part of a sports team and ideally not a lightweight would help. Initiations seem to last for some time to come to be prepared to drink little freshers! Frosty jacks will soon become a common house name, known for sports night due to it's ability to get you plastered on the cheap, makes drinking games 'fairer' as well.
Thursdays - Vodbull at Risa (a big club) with cheap jagerbombs and vodka and redbulls you can't go wrong at this place where you will most certainly get lost.
Friday - I believe most places in Bham have nights out but frankly we are too shattered on friday and I work so...unhelpful much beth!
Saturday - FAB! One word, one amazing night. Our pres on this night seem to be extra epic and wild due to no one having an early morning. Only Bham uni students and no taxis means this cheaper night is always one to remember...or maybe not occasionally in my case...
And thats the nightlife in Bham pretty much summed up! If you can find out about a night out on a sunday then feel free to let me know but somehow it seems pretty much impossible so you'll just have to stick to the pub!
More info soon concerning the best nights out so far: I love TC, Carnage, Miracle on Broad street and Nightmare on Broad street plus many more!
Also posts revolving how to surivive at uni, recipee ideas and general madness will also follow

Adios
