2. Find a ‘Buddy.’
When you first arrive at university, it may well be the first time that you are doing things like your own laundry, cooking, cleaning, and food shopping. Trust me, you won’t be alone. Most freshers will be in the exact same boat, leaving the comfort of your family home and moving out on your own for the first time. Feeling nervous about navigating these things is really normal, and I can almost guarantee that there will be someone in your flat/block who feels the same as you. So, why not find someone to do your laundry with, or to go for food shops with? Why not cook joint meals to make things cheaper? Doing all these new things with your new friends will make them a lot easier. It’s also really handy to use different people’s talents. Is someone a really good chef? Get them to help teach you how to cook, or just watch what they do when they’re cooking.
