Emilaaar: life as a fresher

So I've been at uni for 5 weeks today, hence the lack of blogposts.

I'm at the University of Reading studying English Lit for anyone that doesn't know (hehe reading at Reading) and I'm loving it so so so much I can't even put into words how happy I am here.

We had freshers fortnight when I first arrived so I got to meet everyone really quickly and experience some of the best nights out, it was honestly my favourite two weeks ever! It's amazing how well I've settled in and how many people I've met who I instantly get on with. I've not been homesick at all which has completely surprised me, and I just want to stay at this point in my life forever at the minute.

Obviously work wise I have a lot to do, multiple essays every week and background reading and catching up even though I haven't missed anything but I feel like I have the balance between work and socialising.

I'm staying in halls and it's set out like a long corridor rather than flats so there are always people around and you're never really on your own and everyone is just so nice.

Here are some pictures from freshers and to anyone who is in the process of applying to uni or thinking about, definitely do it! My experience with applying to uni was the most stressful thing, I almost wasn't go to go this year and give myself a gap year to get my thoughts together but I could not be more happy with my decision to come here!

And to anyone who is already at uni, I hope you're having the best time too!
