A start to the year with a BANG!

SOOO it's that time of year again when the leave start to fall, the weather gets that little bit colder and the trunks of cars are filled with an enormous amount of luggage. This can only mean one thing.....YES, I am back at University.


(In the case of this video: I am the cast of "The Big Bang Theory" and the music build-up is going to Uni.....my mum is Penny)

And it's good to be back! I have a house this year with my new roomies Sarah, Gina and Katie. I've already been here two weeks and only just got internet (I don't know how I survived so long) but everything seems to be settled now. I'm nearly unpacked, it's been a lot harder than I planned simply because I get so bored so easily. I honestly can't be bothered! The clothes are done, but we already have a ton of kitchen stuff so that's all sitting in my room gathering dust, and my posters have only just arrived, so they can grace my walls soon. I cannot explain how much of a momentous event this is. I am in my own home, with bill paying (not looking forward to that) and being independent once again. However, without my housemates I'd probably be in a cardboard box by now so I have a lot to thank them for. I'm also on the committee this year for "Amateur Dramatics Society" so this year is full of new experiences. I'm so excited!!! However, I am not changing the name of my blog to "WKD, Chinese, Amateur Dramatics" because it's waaaaaaaaaaay too long!! To make a long story short....I am ready for anything that comes my way this year. I have to believe that I can do anything, that I can push myself to be the best person I can be.

I may be a second year student, but I'll always be a fresher at heart. I love the whole fresher way of thinking: not caring about what you do, what you wear or what you say, you just do it! It's so freeing and I recommend the experience for anyone looking for an experience or a lifetime. This year, I'm going to be the organised one, the funny one, the wing-woman and the take-everything-as-it-comes girl!

Now one thing that is majorly different compared to last year is that I definitely am not living with some nasty people like I did last year during my freshers. It completely ruined the experience of freshers for me, so in a way this is my first freshers. I am so glad I live with people that I actually get one with this year. The people I moved in with after the whole freshers week fiasco were so lovely and so accepting. I really couldn't have asked for better housemates. I learned that even though you may feel powerless, you really aren't. You have the ability to go and tell someone and form that moment on you are no longer alone. You can change how things go just by telling one person. I unfortunately left it too late and only managed to say something a long time after it happened. I got my pay-back, but it would have been better if I had done it sooner, before the negative thoughts popped into my head.

However, it's a new year and I can feel that this is my year. I've already been reasonably lucky already this year, so it can only be a sign of the good times ahead....

After all, you have to live life to the full, because you never know what is going to be around the corner....




Live Long and Prosper
