I haven't posted in a while. I've been really busy doing stuff and preparing for uni and I just haven't had the time. Now I'm at uni I will probably have a lot of spare time to post.
Today is my first day at uni. I have moved in today and said goodbye to my family, my boyfriend and my friends. It was quite emotional saying goodbye but the emotions didn't fully hit me until I was on the phone and in my room on my own. I already can feel that this is going to be a hard change for me. To move about 55 miles away from home and everything and everyone I'm used to. Currently it feels weird living on my own in a flat with five other girls, there is a possibility of there being another person moving in but they aren't here yet.
I have gone to UCLan university in Preston to do a joint honours course of Fashion and Brand Promotion with Photography. I have chosen that course because it is perfect for what I want to do and for what my very far out dreams of doing in the future. I have a dream of what I want to do in the future but I also have no idea what I want to do. I know that makes no sense but my mind is completely messed up at the moment. I'm only 18 and I don't feel old enough to know what I want to do at the end of the three years I'm at uni.
It still feels quite surreal being here and not being with my boyfriend or being at home. I can feel now that it is going to take a lot to get used to. I know my first night is going to be hard on my own but everyone else is going through the same experience.
I've still got some bits to unpack. I did the main bit like sorting my bed and the bathroom out and I've unpacked a few bits but I've still got a few hair, makeup and toiletry bits to unpack. I've put my photos and photo frames up in my room. I've also got three teddys which my boyfriend has given me by my bed ready to cuddle at night.
Tomorrow I've got to go to the bank and set up a student bank account then I've got a few course events on which I have to attend, such as a course induction and welcome meetings. I have been speaking to other people who I am living with and they have much busier welcome week timetables and a lot earlier starts than me. I only have events monday to wednesday, whereas other people have a full week of events starting early in the morning.
I am going to finish here because there isn't really much more to say because I have only been here currently 7 hours. I will keep you updated on how I'm going.
Thanks for reading :)
