Keeping Up with… the first semester of uni

Hey guys. WOW, what a crazy first semester it’s been right!? I’m beyond stunned at how fast these past few months have gone but they’ve been the best few months of my life! So, enough of me rambling. Here’s a simple break down of key things I’ve learned already!

 CHEESE IS EXPENSIVE– I’m sure 99% of you guys will agree, what a pleasure it’s been having your parents doing your food shopping. Nothing beats a full fridge of snacks and luxury food. So when I did my first independent shop and saw how EXPENSIVE everything was, I was shocked. For me, this was the end. But I took some time out and thought no, you can do this Beth. And look at me now, I shop in the reduced section and eat ASDA smart price products. So next time you’re at home, just take a moment to appreciate the full fridge. Thanks Mum x

SOBER CAN BE FUN TOO– Yeah, freshers is all about going out and getting p*ssed but there is a lot more to life than that. I found that I enjoyed the nights me and my friends would spend together doing fun and sober things; bowling, ice skating (even though I’m rubbish) and mini golf.  *Check out my last blog with my top 10 favourite things to do in Bournemouth*. Also, movie nights in are great, but you’ve got to take in turns to decide who’s going to allow everyone to pile into their tiny accommodation. For me, I like to take one for the team because I am the hostess with the mostess 😉.

YOU WILL NOT FIND YOUR SOUL MATE ON TINDER– Ok guys so if I’ve learned anything from uni, it’s this. Please, don’t start uni with the mindset you have to find someone, it’s not a good idea and I’m talking from experience. Have fun, focus on yourself. Friendships are the priority and you need to find a great group of friends that you feel comfortable with through this massive change in your life.

BE YOURSELF– On a real note guys, don’t pretend to be someone you’re not just to fit in. The best way to make friends is by being yourself (it’s also the easiest way).
