Back at University!

Hello bloggers, how's it going?

So I have returned back to Uni and have finally settled into my new house. We still don't have internet in the house so I'm working off a very slow btwifi connection. Tumblr is practically impossible to use. Bad times. Bad times indeed.

At first I thought I would hate coming back to Uni. I'd become so settled into my routine at home of doing nothing and eating wonderful food and being able to see my family and drive whenever I wanted but it really doesn't feel that different being back. I loved the three months I was at home and, even though I did nothing all summer, it was time that I needed to just chill, relax, see my friends and sit on my sofa on pinterest all day.

But now I'm back at Uni. I don't start lectures for another week which is great. I can just watch films and see my Uni friends and have a really good catch up. So far we've already been out for food twice at our favourite café called Café Monde (if you live in Southampton, Winchester or Northampton I really recommend it) and just spent time catching up on gossip from the summer. So nice!

The downsides to being back at Uni are as follows. My house is so cold and we refuse to put the heating on yet because we're poor students who haven't yet received our student loans and/or spent enough money on alcohol during freshers. I actually have to cook for myself again. Not that I didn't make most of my meals at home, it was just different because it was actually nice food. Not the cheap ASDA stuff that equates to 0.05p per slice of bread or something ridiculous.

But if you are reading this and have just started University, don't worry. It's not half as bad as it sounds. It's pretty much the best time of your life. You have the opportunity to meet some amazing and new people that you might not have got to meet without Uni. You get to party and have an amazing education, whilst incurring a massive debt but we'll worry about that later, and it really is time that you will never get to have again. So my advice: go out every day you can during freshers. Meet as many people as you can and step out of your comfort zone because it might just be the best decision you ever made.

Hope you're all well. Lots of love. Ally xxxx
