Fresher Fever

Just as I'm writing this now, I've spent the last three days working non-stop trying to sort essays, presentations and practical work. It's hard, I seem to have more work than anyone I know and its taking it toll. But at the end of the day, I am studying to have a degree in something I love and I'm doing it in a place that I could never imagine leaving.

Since starting at Lincoln University my life has been transformed. I never believed it when people say uni years are the best years of your life, I can still remember packing up and car and wondering if i would ever make new friends! But i've been lucky. This place has become my second home, and the people, my second family.
I could never imagine my life without the friends that I have made. Of course I moan and if I have a problem with someone I will confront them about it, but at the end of the day, without this crazy, mad, incredible group of people I wouldn't be the girl I am right now.

Living where I live in courts is something I'm not going to forget in a hurry. The kids of flat 6 are the most ridiculous bunch, but they're my bunch....the troublemakers of court 16 and I couldn't imagine having anything less than this.
Rolling out of bed 10mins before classes begin, sleeping until 5pm at the weekends, and basically never eating, are only things your allowed to do when your a student.
I have never drank so much alcohol. I have never had such random nights in/out. I have never laughed so much I thought my sides would split, and I never never met a more incredible group of people.

The first year is nearly over, its gone with the wind and I can barely remember saying goodbye to my parents.

Freshers year is the ultimate year, and as we prepare for our deadlines, start thinking were about to fail our exams, we wonder where our second year will lead us, and we ask ourselves will it even come close in comparison to the first.
As we pass our freshers flag to a new group of shy, excited teens, we know how much they're going to love it, and wish we could re-live freshers year all over again!
