Fresher's Finale

Hiya Guys,

It is the end of the week entitled 'Fresher's Week' and, from tomorrow, I will be attending lectures and basically working my arse off to do well in my History Course.

Although I may have not had the 'crazy' fresher's week that most people have, it was pretty crazy for me because, for the last 18 years, I have been living the life of a hermit. As I have told anyone who will listen, I have been out more times this week than I have in my entire life (I have been 18 for a little less than a year). 

Being in London, I have discovered that there are so many place to go on a night out BUT they are all pretty far away and can be expensive if you total together the costs of transport, entrance fee's and the price of the drinks themselves. Therefore I chose to pretty much stay in the Student Union bar except for one night (where I ventured 20 minutes out). So I mean this won't be the most interesting post about fresher's, but I learnt some big things:

1. No one judges you for not drinking! I am not a huge fan of alcohol because I hate the idea of not knowing what I'd do if I was drunk. Initially family members had told me that I would be made fun of but, actually it's the opposite, a lot of people admire you for having that will power and ability to have fun without 3 shots of vodka down you.

2. People in the union are actually pretty friendly. The number of people who actually approach you is mental! People are in the same boat as you and want to make friends, don't be worried if one approaches you and if you can't think of questions, stick to these 3:

- What's your name

- Where are you from

What course are you studying

3. People are going to be drunk so don't trust someone too much because the next day, they may have forgotten about it. Don't take it to heart because it will probably just be that they forgot you. It is not always the case but its better to know not to worry

4. Don't do anything you regret. The number of people I saw doing well things that are slightly distasteful were immense! Don't get too drunk and end up doing things that you won't remember but if you were sober, you wouldn't do!

Finally, my biggest thing is that you can go out and just people watch. I personally found it amazing just watching how people react in a social environment. God, I sound like such an old nerd but there is nothing wrong with that.

So yeah that was my Fresher's experience and comment below if you have anything more interesting because most likely you will!

That's all for now my dears,
See you soon
