Help, returning to uni following an interruption
Hi ,
I have returned back to my degree to repeat year 1 after having to leave the course a month before my exams due to a family crisis.
The thing is I feel uncomfortable telling the new people in my year that I am repeating the year and that im actually 20 and not 18.
I don't want to have to explain why I took time out because I just want to leave it in the past & idk it's jus frustrating because everyone asks me if I took a gap year etc.
Any advice ?

Well, don't tell them anything at all if you don't want to. You don't even need to tell people you're repeating the year if you don't want. You have no obligation to explain yourself.
I wouldn't worry about being two years older either; it's not even that much of a gap!
