I have now been at Uni for 2 weeks. Starting on that first day, I could feel nothing but the blood pumping round my body due to the nerves but fortunately the Uni gradually lure you in and it is not as scary as I once believed. I have not even really started any of my lessons yet just been meeting people and learning such things as how to improve computer skills… and the basic things.

I’m staying at  home and so not actually appreciating the full concept of being a fresher at uni due to not being as independent as some of my classmates.  However, living at home unnerved me as well, as I thought I would be the only person commuting. This has not been the case, as it is about 60/40 and most , no nearly all the people I hang out with are commuting.

I still need to get better at going to all the fresher parties though. The last one I went to was ‘Bierkeller’ and was great fun but I have to always leave early as to be able to hitch a lift with my parents. Another thing I have avoided is drinking alcohol at these parties by making a number excuses, such as I have taken painkillers. This was sometimes true. The actual fact is that I can’t handle alcohol. Had many, embarrassing or bad experiences and wish not to encounter them again. I do tell the new people I have met but they insist I’m just a light weight, so do I throw up in order for them to realise or just carry on insisting that I do NOT drink and thus in most peoples eyes, a boring teenager.
