You have a head start though, cause you already have an idea what it is like :smile:

I know how you feel, it's taken me such a long time to get the group of friends I have now and now I have to start all over again in a completely new place. Excited, yes but also very scared.

I love my friends to pieces, but I think we have got to the point now where going to uni will do us good. I am so majorly excited, but the worry of having to make friends again lol its so much easier when you are younger :p:

I just find that if I have a drink, I can talk to ANYONE. I am using this as a basis for hopefully making friends :biggrin:

I do try not to be drunk all the time though. Won't be a problem when I'm out in the first few weeks but on moving day? Drunkness+nervousness+long car journey probably not a good idea. :biggrin:

Ha that's very true. Only thing I'm worried about is who I'm going to be sharing with, and a) the boy/girl ration [as i get on much better with guys. especially having gone to an all girls school i'm not sure i can take living with lots of girls too] and b) if i'll actually get on with them!

but then i guess i'm not the only person feeling like this so it's cool.

As cliched as it sounds, this is true: you cannot choose who you live with in halls, plain and simple. No matter how much you try and manufacture it, you should just go in there with an open mind. You've probably heard all this before, but it sounds even better when it comes from experience!

I spoiled my first year at York by expecting too much from living in halls. I built it up too much, so I set myself up to be dissapointed when I realised that the (16!!) people I shared with weren't really on my wavelength, or had had more in common with other people than with me.

This time round, I'm completely chilled about the whole thing. Expect little and you won't be dissapointed, no? I'm more worried about my course and what to expect from it. That way, if the social-life goes tits-up, at least I'll be on track with my course.

I say this a lot but I still panic about people liking me etc.
