Ok, that's a little premature as I'm only free for the summer (after which I'll be starting all over again!) but I'm hoping you can forgive my my rash word choice because, you guys, I've made it through (who'da thunk it?!) my first year at uni!
Now, I can't deny I've found it tough (you don't say!) but to now be at the end of this year, looking back over these past few months (because they've been the ones I've most struggled with) it does make me feel happy to know that, despite there being times I've not necessarily coped the best I could have done, I didn't give up. And now I'm here, sat typing on my first day of Summer, the next few months stretched out in front of me like some kind of delicious meal to feast upon. And I can't wait to see what (kind of courses? Seems when you use an analogy, you've got to try and run with it!) they bring me.
Last summer I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be a uni student, nor could I ever imagine myself ever being one (despite the fact I had only a few months before that thought, or non-thought!, became a reality!), so to have seen out my first year does feel like quite the achievement.
A big apology needs to go out to those who follow my twitter and have probably put up with more than their fair share of miserable-tweet reading. Even more so to my wonderful friends, those magical ladies, who have listened to me moan on Facebook (or via dm on twitter, ha!) and have offered me advice, or support, or just been there for me over these past few months (you all know who you are). The same goes to my family, who put up with texts, phone calls and emails (wow, I've definitely exploited all kinds of media!), offering me their time when I've needed it. This has all meant so much to me.
I don't have many (actually I don't think any! No, wait, I have one!) photos of my first year to share with you - that's what being a mature student who lives in town, away from the university campus, does to you - so you'll just have to make do with this one......
Well done lovely! Enjoy your summer and relax! I finished uni for good today and cannot wait to enjoy the summer too :) xxx
