I have been absolutely awful at actually (good alliteration) updating this blog. However, now that I am settled in at University - well perhaps not completely, given that it's quite a big change - I will now start to do more regular updates.
I'm studying English at Bournemouth University. I picked it because it is a uni that has been recognised for it's excellence in the media fields and creative flair among students and lecturers. Not such a fan of the typical English Lit/Lang degree stimulus, BU's English degree was much more appealing - and in fact, my only option when applying to University!
So far, I have met some amazing people - flatmates, course/classmates, random people whilst walking back to where I live... and have even bumped in to people from back home in London that I had no idea were heading to the same place.
I also love how embracing everyone is. Students are notoriously recognised by other groups in society as loud, drunk, good-for-nothing members of the community. Although, I admit that we can be all those things at times - tell me, who isn't? - I am pleased to say I have met a huge amount of people who are extremely friendly, encouraging and intelligent in such a short space of time. So, please, if you're not a student, spare a thought for us as well as you and remember that smiling rather than scowling is beneficial for everyone.
If you're still reading, many thanks and I promise to write again soon.
