Trust me I know it's a massive shock!
As many of you know my uni experience was a bit of a roller coaster! It reached a point where I wanted to quit and that is just not in my nature! So I set myself some rules and they helped me massively... so this is my university survival guide!
1. GET INVOLVED
The best thing you can do is get yourself involved, join a society, pick up a sport, volunteer or take a year abroad. Most importantly take every opportunity that's thrown our way because it won't happen again and what's the worst that can happen?
2. BE YOURSELF
Don't change to fit someone else's perception of what's right; be yourself and if they don't like it then it doesn't matter. There is literally thousands of other people at the uni who will!
3. BUDGET
Boring one I know but my god does it help! If you budget food etc you have way more fun.
4. DON'T BE PRECIOUS
Don't be precious about your things, if you agree to it being communal just accept it is gone forever.
5. FIND YOUR HANGOVER CURE
Mine was a pint of fresh orange, a pint of water and a pinch of salt and the occasional pizza mmmmm pizza! It'll change your life I promise!
6. SPEAK TO PEOPLE
If you're struggling get help, speak to someone after all everyone's in the same boat. Every uni has people you can speak to whether that's staff or students! Just don't bottle it up no matter how small it is.
6. LOVE AND LIVE EVERY MINUTE
Don't hold back who cares? Enjoy every minute it's a once in a lifetime experience and it really will be some of the best years of your life!
Hope these helped they certainly made a huge change to my uni experience!!
Xx
