Great!

Well, I'm still waiting to get offers from several universities. I've applied for different courses for some reason. Hence, nothing is concrete yet. Also, I'm an international student.

What about you? I reckon, you're from the UK, aren't you?

Honestly I’m very quiet with people I don’t know at first- but after a few times with new people I open up more. Currently good friends with flatmates and people I see regularly bc I give off bad first impressions with course mates that I see inconsistently. I think people think I’m being rude when I’m quiet bc I have a resting ***** face lol. But I have found that joining societies that are more niche and have less people allow you to make friends and You see them once/ twice a week so get to know ppl better

I think its because i got deppressed and i stopped even leaving my house. Because i didnt really interact with someone in a while i guess my anxiety, shyness and deppression just got worse.but ive always had anxiety so idk where it came from

Okay. Yeah, that would be a fantastic experience for you. Actually, I'm following the same path. I've already been to Huddersfield once. Hence, now I would love to go to either Sheffield or Belfast but depends on where I get the offer from. Let's see what happens.

Would you mind me asking whether you had gap years 'cause British students usually start their university at around 17 or 18? No offence.

Oh nice good luck, no im not offended, i was not really sure whether i wanted to go university and i was working instead. But now i decided that i would like to go university. Which im glad that came to the decision myself instead of forcing myself or being forced to go.
