The Uni Files: 10 Questions // Uni Life
10:30
So seeing as many people will be embarking on their new university adventures in around a month or so I thought I would do a little series of posts called 'The Uni Files' to help many freshers with most things to do with uni life, from cooking to decorating your new room. As I was in this position in just under a year ago I thought it would be ideal to share my own experiences as a way to help calm many nerves in which some people are feeling. In this post I am going to answer 10 questions about my experiences surrounding my first year of uni. Filled with anecdotes and tips on what (not) to do whilst at uni. Feel free to copy and fill this in as you go along.
1: What university do you study at? Falmouth University
2: What degree you are studying? BA (Hons) Photography
3: Favorite thing about your course? The fact that we have so many amazing facilities free to use on site
4: Least favorite thing about your course?: That there is barely any contact time between myself and the tutors
5: What were you most anxious about when moving in and how did you overcome it?: That I wasn't going to get on with many of the people I lived with. In the end I realized that we were all in the same boat, went in and was myself. (But if you are scared, bring food such as cake to share, it will definitely help!)
6: Favorite experience so far?: Being able to explore myself more independently away from home. I've learned that I absolutely love the sea, and could spend hours in it!.
7: Worst experience so far?: Ending up in an ambulance after thinking it was a good idea to down a bottle of wine. No seriously, don't do it. It wont impress anyone, and you will hate yourself the next day when you have your head down a toilet!
8: Some advice?: Well other than the bottle of wine. BE YOURSELF. If you go into uni with a false persona it will be very difficult to maintain that for three years. If people don't like it, screw them. Also, a helpful tip for freshers week, stock up on fancy dress. It's difficult to do themed nights on a budget. (Jungle, space, sea themes, etc).
9: Do you get homesick? Occasionally, if i'm having a bad day I tend to miss my parents and the feeling of the familiar. However, I overcome this by just ringing them up, or skyping them. It's not the same as them giving you a massive hug, but what are flatmates for?
10: What are you most excited for in the future? Being able to graduate after spending years studying something I love, and hopefully being able to explore more of Cornwall. Whilst experiencing new things.
If you get the chance definitely check out this video from Viviannadoesmakeup, her and Lily Pebbles did a Beauty Chat 'The uni edition' and I feel that it has some excellent points which will hopefully calm your nerves, and get you excited for the whole experience
