Chapter 12: Totally Exetaar

Image
Sup? So back at it again. πŸ™„ Not even been here a week and home seems like years ago. Has been actually a pretty good week. Though Monday was stressful as everyone started to get houses and saying that all the best ones are going. Why is everyone here so "hypey". Literally the stereotype of Exeter students 90% of the time is true. Everyone is just so, so Exeter.  Can't even describe it. Well i cba right now. πŸ‘πŸ» Think i'll write up a rant one day about 'them'. basically.  SO spurred on by these melts me and 3 of my flatmates went and got ourselves a nice house for next year. Katie and I were like super excited about it, but the boys literally did not give a single shit and we literally dragged them out for a celebratory pint. Day drinking is the way to do it kids.  But ngl, i'm just glad I got it sorted, it was seriously stressful and everyone kept talking about it. Don't know why its so bloody early though, how the fuck are yo

Chapter 11: Dropping out

Its reading week bitchessssss πŸ“™πŸ“ŽπŸ“πŸ“πŸŽπŸ“’ So far no reading has been achieved. I've been home for 7 days. Going well . πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» I don't know why but I felt really apprehensive about leaving uni, not that I wanted to stay. Just the thought of leaving Ellie, James and Ryan felt weird for some reason. But now i'm going back to uni in two days and I really don't want to leave home . ***Brain make up your fucking mind*** Literally its going to suck to be readjusting all over again. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE MY OWN FOOD OKAY. Its fucking boring. life is expensive. I just want to drop out and stay here in my comfy bed, but yes i knowwww i cantttt.  Gotta stop whining.  Anyway, this week i've literally done shite all. As per.  Went shopping with my grandma and bought some new clothes- its getting rather nippy outside and i'm poor and needed her to pay....  Went out for lunch alot. πŸ€°πŸ» Went shopping again. And just spent alot of time wit

Chapter 10: Shit show

Hey kids, 1 more week until I go homeeee πŸ“šπŸ“š Literally I'm on my last legs. I'm utterly exhausted and I cant deal (self pity party here πŸ™‹) can't wait to have a break from student life. Its too bloody stressful. Basically I fucked myself over, this Saturday I went a little hard. It was a shit show. It started out as a quiet night in, we ordered five guys ( thank god for deliveroo  πŸ™) Then basically my friend Gus invited me to a flat party. FOR SOME REASON I AGREED. So Ellie and I got up and shoved on something a little bit sexier than sweats. aka jeans, woo. We thought fuck it  as otherwise we would just sit around and complain that we never do anything. As per. James and Ben were in the kitchen and we were just chatting and it came up that they'd never seen me shit faced at uni yet. (ive been on my best behaviour πŸ˜‚) SO then, Ellie and I did a few shots of tequila. Which was mistake #1 ( should've stopped there girl, should have stopped) and

Chapter 9: So fucking far

It's week 5!!! As if. It's Monday and this weekend has been great, my younger sister came to visit me- just what i needed. πŸ‘­. Weekends can be hard as there seems like there is nothing to do but work or drink, So her being here made me go out and do things, lots of drinking and no working. ( it became rather expensive) (JK I LEGIT HUGGED HER TO DEATH)  We went shopping and walked down to the Quay- which guys if you've ever done- ITS FUCKING FAR. yes I'm lazy af. She kept calling me grandma as I wanted 'rests' πŸ‘΅πŸ˜‚. We ate copious amounts of food. YUM YUM YUM. πŸ°πŸ¦πŸ”πŸ•πŸͺ I attempted to 'cook' nachos, but forgot the gauc. cry cry. #firstworldproblems Sophie (my sister) LOVED uni life, I took her out to the Lemmy (the shitty campus 'club') which was her fist ever night out and she had such a good time. Having her here put me at ease, though it was sad to drop her off at the station this morning but oh well. - Reading week is coming up

Chapter 8: Sugar Daddy

Heya, All the weeks have kinda blurred into one by this point, I'm an idiot for not keeping up with this but oh well 🀷‍♀️ So thinking back to week four, literally it's hard to explain but the longer you are here the better it gets (coz you get over homesickness, and you have like 2 friends yay) but then it get's soul crushingly worse as the mundane reality of life kicks in. Not to bum you all out or anything. πŸ€¦‍♀️ Disclaimer** I am actually enjoying it. Just keeping it real. You should know that uni isn't all about fun and games- this is a depressing realisation but c'est la vie. Two things you realise here: A) everything is fucking expensive B) everything is hard work Its not this magical time where you meet loads of like-minded people and become #bbf's4evaaaa πŸ’“πŸ’“πŸ’“πŸ’“ and think and learn about intellectually stimulating things. Half the stuff is not stimulating AT ALL πŸ’ΈπŸ’Έ And half the people will fake and flake. πŸ˜ So, i've looked into m

Chapter 7: Full blown existential crisis

HEY. So yea things are kinda settling down, felt a little less ill but not completely over freshers flu lol, weakling that I am. Not sure about my course, the people are all nice but I feel so fucking stupid. Literally there is a guy who went to Eaton. Fucking Eaton. Didn't think those boys existed in the real world. He's so posh. Also there is so much bloody reading. πŸ€“ I cant deal. I'm trying to have a life + friends and it freaking impossible with what we have to do. Legit I have to look up every second word. WTF Society wise i've joined Sailing with my flatmate Ellie. Yah, Oh I know, so Exetarrrr. But we wanted to join a 'sport' so classic me, went for the most unsporty sport. πŸ‘πŸ‘ Tbf Sailing so far has been hilarious, basically its aload of (very nice) but extremely posh people talking about regattas, yachts and lots of terms I don't remember. I feel so posh rn. Bringing it down in class, I also joined pole dancing. Mum was not pleased.

Chapter 6: What the fuck have I done?

Image
Sup? So second week brought a new shit storm of problems, from homesickness to the realisation that I have to study meant I felt like utter shit. Woo so positive. πŸ€™πŸ‘πŸ™Œ Basically this is going to sound so freaking stupid, but I didn't really think about the work, only thought about the fun side of uni and not everything that comes alongside it. Dumb Ikr. πŸ€¦‍♀️ Literally i'ts the scariest thing, you are living with fucking strangers who are the only friends you've got at the moment, you try to get to know them whilst simultaneously trying to meet new people and you have to cook, clean, shop, eat and keep yourself sane. ITS NOT FUN, Never would I do this again. NOPE. Not for all the tea in China. And what do you do with yourself in the evenings? I didn't want to be in my room alone all fucking night yet its exhausting trying to make small talk with people you're not sure about. Don't get me wrong its still fun (kinda). I realised quickly that you
