So I haven’t posted on here in a while cause to be honest I haven’t really had the time so today I decided that it’s time I started blogging again. And so the big thing that happened in my life this week is the fact that I finished my first year of uni yeah!!!!! Can’t believe that it was just under a year that I was doing A levels and trying to get into uni and a year later here I am sat in bed, in Leeds, finished my first year. So decided I’m gonna reminisce over the past year a bit.
So looking back at my first day at uni, in a room full of 140 students, not knowing a single person, it’s amazing how I managed to meet the most amazing friends ever. To think Jess and Katie were sat right behind me and that they would become my best mates at uni is crazy. And to meet Tom, Chris and Josh as well to become the six way supergroup is awesome and the fact I’ve got another 2 years at uni to spend with them is so cool, I can’t wait. I can’t wait to move into my house in a month with Tom, Jess and Josh it’s gonna be the most awesome house ever. All the people I’ve met at uni have been amazing.
Secondly, all the stuff I’ve learnt at uni is gonna help me so much in life. Not only have I learnt the techie stuff that’s part of my degree but the life skills I’ve learnt. I’ve become a completely different person. In September, come up to me and try and start a conversation and you’d not get much, but now I’m completely different and I will start the conversation with you. I’m more outgoing, talkative, confident, it’s amazing how 1 year at uni has changed me.
One of the other amazing things I’ve discovered while being at uni is Hope City. I always thought I’d find a church at uni but I never thought I’d find such an amazing one. I’ve always been a lazy person so walking half an hour to church in September, probably wouldn’t have happened. Now I can’t wait for church, and even as I write this I’m about to get ready to go to church. Serving in the church is even better and I can’t believe I’m willing to wake up early just to serve on a Sunday morning which would never happen at home. I’ve met so many people at Hope City, plenty that I know will be friends for life, and I’ve met people that I actually look up to and I know are there for me while I’m at uni.
Finally probably the biggest highlight of my year at uni, (and I hope he doesn’t get too big headed) is finding John. Now I know it sounds cheesy that finding a boyfriend is the highlight of my year but it actually is. Even though I’ve made loads of friends, learnt so much and experienced so much finding him is probably a highlight of my life, not just my year. I’m gonna repeat myself about how much I love him cause it’s posted all over this blog but they say ‘time flies when you’re having fun’ and it seems like just yesterday that we were meeting and now we’ve been together nearly 3 months.
This year has definitely been the best year of my life and I can’t wait for it to continue :)
