A bit about me.Hey, I'm Imogen (or Immi), and if you didn't guess by the title I'm going to be starting my first year starting physics at Lancaster University. Besides physics I enjoy cooking and baking, and the occasional bit of reading although I just haven't had the time for it recently.
So, this is it.I've finally made it to my first year of uni, I've been so excited about this since I was probably about 11 (although the subject I'm doing now is completely different from what I wanted to study at 11). In a weird way, I almost can't believe I've actually done it. Move-in for me isn't until the 30th, so it's very late compared to a lot of people, and I think now that the vast majority of people I know have moved it's really sort of sinking in that it's actually real. Scary, but so exciting.
Uni bitsI received 2 scholarships from the university, equalling £3000 in my first year and £1000 in each of my second, third, and fourth years. Finding out about these scholarships was a nice little surprise on results day!
I'm in Pendle College and had to book a slot for move-in yesterday, and it meant I found out which block I was in. I've found a couple of people in the same block as me which is nice.
I also received my timetable yesterday, and it's not as bad as I'd thought it would be (besides starting at 9 a.m. on a Friday and not finishing until 6 p.m.). I don't think it has everything on there yet though, it feels overly empty but we'll see.
Whilst I'm definitely ready to get back to academics, the fact I have not even looked at physics since June is starting to scare me a little, but I've been talking to a couple of other people doing physics and they're all in the same boat as me which definitely makes me feel a lot better.
Goals for the year•
Definitely just making sure I keep time for myself to let myself fully settle in and get used to a completely new big change.
•
Join some societies and the gym!
•
Try and eat mostly healthily.
•
Sticking to a budget (which I have yet to work out).
•
Obviously keeping on top of academics.
•
Keeping my living space liveable
I think that just about sums up everything important at the minute! I'll absolutely try and stick with the GYG this year.
