Five Things I Learnt as a Fresher

In just under 2 weeks, hoards of unwitting freshers are about to descend on uni's around the country. Some scared, some excited, some a mixture, but either way, they're about to embark on the awesome experience that is university, and with that comes of course, freshers week. A crazy manic week, where you spend the majority of time frantically trying to learn names, avoid getting lost, and not do anything too stupid. With that comes of course drinking and nights out (because what's better than hundreds of nervous teenagers combined with alcohol and no parents, right?!). Freshers week is a great week, but you sure do learn a lot! Here are a few things that I learnt...

1) 9am lectures after 3 hours of sleep are definitely possible. You'll hate it, but you can make it!

2) All things can be solved with coffee, or a nap. But mostly coffee, I luuurrrve coffee!

3) When it comes to nights out, very few people have a clue what they're doing, even if they pretend they're pretty much professional party animals!

4) It's actually possible to write a good essay by pulling an all-nighter. Not that I'd recommend it... It's not exactly fun.

5) You can definitely have fun on a night out whilst being sober. It's all about the catchy tunes and awesome dance moves!

Uni is amazing and I can't wait to go back! If you're about to go, good luck!
