Uni and things
Uni course, uni halls and uni brawls (kidding) is most likely what you'll find here, as I take you along with me on my University journey.
My top tips for surviving halls
Back in 2020, I moved into a flat with 7 other freshers, 4 girls and 4 boys. I would have to call myself a bit of a halls expert after spending one year living there, during two lockdowns too! So here are my top tips.
The best thing I did was search for my flatmates on Facebook about 4 months before moving in. We got to know one another and more importantly, discussed what we were all planning to take! One of the boys took a slow cooker, another took a smoothie maker and a toastie machine, which meant nobody bought unneccessary gadgets!
TIP NUMBER ONE: GET TO KNOW YOUR FUTURE ROOMIES
TIP NUMBER TWO: DON'T TAKE UNNECCESSARY SHIT!
Stupidly, I filled up my tiny bedroom with random bits and bobs, too many shoes, too much clothes, and by the time I moved out I had hardly used any of it! My advice is, take your most worn favourite clothes and shoes, enough bits to make your room feel like home, and don't fill it up with clutter! You'll regret it in a few months.
TIP NUMBER THREE: MAKE FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF YOUR FLAT
It was pretty difficult to make friends during the height of Covid, however nowadays my best advice is to reach out to people outside of your flat. Otherwise you could end up stuck with a very small circle, and if any fall outs occur in your flat (which is bound to happen) you wont be left on your own, which trust me, is NOT fun.
