First Year Over

Well I wish it could be freshers everyday!

Only enough time for a short post today, been a very long and tiring day!

Freshers, the first year of my time at the university of Leicester, is finally over, and now I face around four months of being back in Horseman's Green!

Overall it's been a great year, the course has been easy to adapt to and I've been challenged to do well without feeling the need to cry amongst a pile of revision notes. Hopefully my exam results will reflect the amount of effort I've put into my work so I can have a Summer without disappointment.

I've met a lot of other students during my first year, especially because we all mostly live in the same area therefore you're able to mix with lots of different people. I've made some great friends, and have possibly met a few people I do not wish to see a lot of for the rest of my degree ;). I feel lucky that I get to live with seven other lovely people in my second year, as I will be able to remain nearly as social as during freshers without living in student accommodation.

Even though it was definitely overpriced, I loved living in the Oadby Student Village. It's built in what used to be the richest postcode in the country, so it's surrounded by big beautiful houses and scenery, and it's without the sounds of traffic. It's a place you can walk around and feel safe in, with plenty of areas to meet friends either outside or in the bars. A main disadvantage was the ten minute walk to ASDA whenever you needed food or drink, and no we can't just order take out every day, we'd get fat! 

I'll probably be posting a lot more about my first year over the Summer so I'll leave it as that for now. I'll definitely miss being a fresher, but I think my body will appreciate the lower amounts of partying in the future :).

Goodbye for now!
