NO LONGER A FRESHER

That's it. My first year of university is officially complete.

Yesterday, I submitted my last assignment, and I just wanted to write a post about my fresher experience...

I have honestly had the most amazing/interesting year. I remember the first day I arrived. Lots of my flatmates had already moved in and I was one of the last to arrive. Not only was I nervous because I was one of the last to arrive, but I had been at my school since I was 11, and hadn't been in a new educational environment since then. I've had the same friends since I was 11 and had forgotten what that "new school" environment felt like, where you don't know anyone and try and make new friends. Luckily for me, everyone in my flat was lovely and I settled in very quickly, despite being extremely homesick.

I loved the first few months. Getting to know everyone, in your flat and on your course; discovering a new city; learning how to cook; and trying to manage my money... (not so good at that last one). Everything was new and exciting and I felt independent for the first time in my life.

Freshers was an absolutely crazy two weeks. I never really went out clubbing before I came to uni so that whole scene was new to me too. Going out every night for 14 days straight was exhausting, but I loved it. Advice: definitely take advantage of freshers fortnight.

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY MEAN GIRLS!

Mean Girls is possibly the most quotable film of all time. It's unsurprising it has stood the test of time, still being popular today, 10 years later.

If you haven't seen Mean Girls, seriously what have you been doing with your life?!

Don't be put off if you think  "chick flicks" aren't your thing. Mean Girls is actually a lot more than that. It's a cleverly written comedy showcasing a satirical view of the high school experience to which both boys and girls can relate.

If you haven't seen it yet, here are some gifs to help convince you. And if you have, watch it again! You know you want to!

HAPPY EASTER

I absolutely love Easter. What is better than relaxing all day whilst eating a shed load of food mainly consisting of chocolate? That's right, not much.

This year, myself, my mum, dad, and dog all crammed in our car filled to the brim with food, and drove up to Stafford to visit my brother at university. Two and a half ours and one toilet stop later and we were there. Unfortunately, our lovely plan of having a picnic by the Staffordshire castle was thwarted by rain, however we managed to get a table at a local pub and the hot helpings of a Sunday roast certainly warmed our cockles.

By the time we had stuffed our stomachs fit to burst, the rain had stopped, and so we decided to venture up the castle and give the dog a bit of a run about. For a 14 year old dog, she can still give me and my brother a run for our money in the energy department.
