Ten Miles to a New World (2020/21 GYG)

Oh God, my least favourite bit, the introduction...

Er. Hi. Welcome to my fourth(!) GYG blog. I'm Midnight (well, obviously not really, but I'd prefer not use my real name), an 18 year old guy from South Wales, and I'm off to uni this year- Swansea, to be exact (which is only about 10 miles from where I live- hence my title). I'm immensely excited but, obviously, scared as hell about so many things in this wonderful time of corona. Not that I'm letting that ruin my time- as an introvert at heart the idea of going to uni and then immediately crowding into a sweaty loud nightclub and spending a whole week constantly around people is close enough to my idea of hell, so I'm actually kinda glad about the changes for this year...though I am looking forward to meeting new people in person, I admit, after 6 months of relative seclusion.

(Oh, I'm doing chemistry. Kind of shoulda mentioned that earlier)

ABOUT ME

Er. I play piano. I got my grade 8 in it in December. I like reading and I like a variety of types of music. If you couldn't tell, I'm struggling to think of anything even vaguely interesting about myself. Errrrrrr I used to run but then I gave up so now I'm v unfit and need to do more exercise which maybe I'll do in uni or maybe I'll just drink idk I have a can of Thatchers rn as I write this if that's anything.
OH. A note. As well as a GYG this will more than likely turn in to a mental health recovery blog- long story short, I've struggled with my mental health since mid-2018 and it did get better last year for a time but this year I've majorly crashed (majorly? Is that a word?) and now I'm on meds and working toward getting better, so now you know.
(That was supposed to be in a spoiler but TSR is breaking on me now and doing really weird editing things so I give up)

I think that's everything? I'm not sure, maybe I'll add to this if I think of more, but in the meantime, thanks for finding this, hope you enjoy. I'm hoping to keep to a twice-a-week schedule but we shall see. Also, more pictures this year, maybe.

Now...stop procrastinating on here and get back to work.
