Dear, Slightly younger and more innocent self,
Univeristy is the time in which it is safe to say that I have
2. Give your lectures a chance, even if you don't like the lecturer. - There is always one lecturer that you don't like/don't like their teaching style/can't be bothered with. All I can say is, persevere with it, you can do it. Just give yourself time and remember you won't be stuck with them forever.
4.Budgeting isn't as hard as you think. - Money does not grown on trees, which you very well know. Your student loan and income from work are enough to live comfortably on. The thing is as grownup as it seems, budgeting now will make things easier in the long term. Food shops do not need to be expensive, drinking needs not be expensive. Work it out and stick to it.
5. Mixing drinks is never a good idea - Rather self explanatory. Don't even bother mixing spirits and wine. You will honestly only regret it in the morning. I promise.Besides, by the time you get to the end of your first year, you'll have seen what happens from mixing drinks in more than enough detail with everyone else.
Remember, Live, Laugh and Love.
Goodluck
Your slightly older and way more tired self.

Studying in Uni is the best and worst things that ever happened to me. So much experience so little time and I still cherished the people I met and the things that I learned. This is a nice post. Made me remember those cheesy fun times =) #pocolo
ReplyDeleteGood advice! I still remember the good & bad bits of uni decades later!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more about giving lectures a chance. Day one, my lecturer drew a hippo on the board, a perfect hippo (lecture one of medieval politics - Augustine of Hippo) I just thought 'what on earth?' but he turned out to be amazing, engaging and helpful, this raised fond memories for me thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat advice. I like the idea of writing advice to a younger version of yourself!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous advice. I think anyone going off to Uni needs to read this post. Thank you for linking to PoCoLo :) x
