Student life

 is often as fun and exciting as it is confusing and complicated

When heading off to university, we’re excited to move out of our family home and into our student accommodation. We say bye to our houses for the first time and also to our parents and family; although we do go back to see them a lot. And while it might seem daunting, it’s time to start your adventure as a university student. Moving away from home, living in halls and sometimes eating noodles for dinner, are all part of the experience. Your family home will be what you call ‘home, home’ and your student accommodation will be referred to as ‘home’.

It’s a crystal clear that University Entering is an Adventure

But before you know it, time will have flown by; you’ll be at the end of your first year already. Revision and exams will all be finished; the stress will be over and you can enjoy a relaxing summer. You’ll have lived on your own for almost a year. You may have felt home sick to start, but have made lots of new friends. And now it’s time for moving out day.

It is overall seen that…

Moving out is a great feeling. It shows you’ve made it through your first year and you’re off to experience the next stage of student life. It’s another step we’ve all got to take in the process of growing up. You say bye to your first year flat – which you’ve called home for a year, and leave for the summer. You say to all of your new friends you’ll meet up in the summer, but in reality, you’re all too busy catching up with life back in your hometown. Drinking all those cups of tea you’ve missed with your family, eating home-made roast dinners, and generally eating a lot before you return for your second year of university.

Being a second year student going into my final year, over the summer for me I will obviously be researching (a little bit) ready for my dissertation. But there is one thing we mustn’t forget to do; have some fun – after all we are still students.

I plan to go travelling, only in the UK though. I’m heading to Kent in the South East of England to enjoy the beach because it’s time to get away, party and relax. I’ll also spend a bit of my time travelling around the rest of the country and seeing new things, because overall travelling the world is what I want to do.

Conclusion

If you’re getting ready to venture away from home for the first time, it is all okay, and you have nothing to worry about. And if you have any problems or concerns, there is always someone to talk to. Believe me I cried when I left home, but it’s a step I had to take. So, for those going to university in September, just remember it’s a step you’ve always wanted to take, and now is your time. Don’t forget as a student to study hard and play hard, overall determination is the key to success.
