Freshers Week.
For most individuals "Freshers Week" screams alcohol, partying, new area and UNIVERSITY. That's right, I have headed to university in Sheffield.
And we are off!

The first few days were strange however you have to remember that everyone is in the same boat. My accommodation layout is strange and I am still getting used to the fact that it is inward facing, although it gives a more communal feeling it is strange looking in and being able to see people in their rooms and kitchens.
So when I come to film my youtube videos that should be interesting!
The bins are just full on Domino's Pizza boxes and empty bottles that were once full of alcohol beverages. Can you say the 600 of us at Central Quay are fulfilling the "typical" stereotype of a uni student?
You will find in most university students rooms that they have decorated their room with photos galore and things that make the room feel more homely because in the first few weeks especially you will want an area that you feel comfortable with when you are still a bit unsure in your hall surroundings and the individuals in your halls.
My pinboard is surrounded by a few photos that never fail to make me smile and an academic calendar as I always seem to loose the track of days.
I have had a slight upgrade in bed size from home to uni. I have gone from a single to a 3/4 and the difference is insane. It's brilliant! However I bobbed home on friday night and going t back to my own bed was strange, it seemed so much smaller!
I have piled on the pillows and blankets although I am more likely to overheat in my uni room than freeze, so maybe I will keep the blankets hidden and we will see in they make an appearance in winter.
To my knowledge of Sheffield so far Plug is the most popular club and after spending my first night at uni in a flat party the second night we ventured into town and ended up in Plug, it was packed with university students and we ended up going back to plug last night.
Thursday evening consisted of university students doing what they do best, drinking and starting to drink at 7:30pm as we all embarked on a bar crawl. The bar crawl was North vs Midlands vs South.
Of course I was a Northern Nancy!
Tonight is the final evening of "Freshers Week" so I will update you on how freshers week ends, hopefully with a big bang!
This evening is going have to wait however as this afternoon is going to consist of me finishing my first university assignment for tomorrow! Can you believe I got an essay in the first week? Yep, we can't forget that we came to university to gain a degree and that the social life is just a bonus.
If you are at univerity or about to start I hope you have a lovely time and make the best of it.
If you have gone back to school/college or work I hope that you also have a reason to smile daily.
Sorry for such a long post although due to me lacking on blog posts this month I believe you deserve it.
Speak soon.
Love Becks ♥
