A fresh start! The chance to meet new people, learn new things, and ultimately, learn more about myself...as cliche as it may sound.

Back when I was starting uni, I was looking forward to meeting new people and trying to be more social (didn't happen).

Is it weird that i'm not really feeling excited about it at all? I just see it as another step in life.

I'm honestly terrified to go and don't know if I'll cope, but I'm excited to buy new things for my room😂 I'm hoping to gain more confidence and be more independent

Being somewhere I'd be more comfortable with that's a bit more in the centre like the rest of the world.

I was excited about making friends with people on my landing and being more sociable. Also getting to study more of the subject I loved at Alevels. That didn't go too well- I made dinner at 2 in the morning to avoid seeing people, hated my course then dropped out before Christmas.
Next time around it was being closer to my bf and that one went way better. -
