Something New each Day

Hiya guys, I'm currently writing this blog post after 3 mental days which included; going to the Fresher's ball as a 2nd year (that's the topic of today), turning 20 and bringing my Mancunian friends to the big city. The latter two are pretty much irrelevant for today's post but I mean they all sort of blend together I think. The Fresher's Ball is done at pretty much every university in England and is a way for first year's to end their 'relaxation' period and get ready for the real work. I missed last year's because I went home for my sisters birthday so I was even more determined to go this and have an epic time. Also, the fact that it was the day before my 20th Birthday seemed like fate because why wouldn't I want to start my birthday with my friends dancing like we were 1st years and drunk - although I was sober the entire night. The Ball was on the university campus and seemed less formal and more like an awesome club night ba...

Hiya guys, So it's officially Fresher's week all across the country. For me, last night was my first taste of a proper fresher's event or a London night out because last year was pretty chilled and mainly about getting my bearings. So I have decided to live my second year as my first and I'm going to bore you all with the dets. Me and my friend decided to get on the QM bus and travel to Ministry of Sound and get a taste of a proper Fresher's night in London. I had high hopes but wasn't feeling the best: 4 hours sleep and eating two chicken burgers *don't worry they were small Birdseye ones* probably wasn't the best way to start a night out. So we got on the bus and it was hilarious seeing all these first years making awkward chat with the people they literally met the night trying to fill silences. Something I noticed pretty much all night was that, once we told someone we were second years, we weren't topics of interest and it started ...

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 ...
