University // Why I'm So Grateful To Be Here

Hey Guys!

It has been a while since I've wrote anything on here. After I got back to university in January I had finals and assignments to complete all in the space of two weeks and then the new semester started at the beginning of February so I wanted to concentrate on my new modules and keep on top of all the work. So, I took a hiatus from writing and prioritised my school work. But now I'm back and trying to fit more time in my week to write blog posts again ❤

I'm constantly trying to focus on things I'm grateful for, especially when I'm having a bad day. So, one thing I'm constantly grateful for is getting the opportunity to go to university. I always think about what my life would be like right now if I didn't go to university or even more specifically Newcastle University, so I wanted to express how grateful I am having access to education and being able to go to a great university ♡

1. Friends: I have met the most amazing people while I have been here in Newcastle. My housemates, course mates and those I've met through mutual friends have made my time at university so much better than my expectations! Living with some of my favourite people has been such a blessing, having people around who are so supportive, always having something to joke about and the nights out has made my time in Newcastle for the past two years so fun! 

2. Being a student: I love going to university! I'm so sad that I've nearly finished my second year already. The time here at university flies by so quick, it felt like only a minute ago I started my second year and moving into our house. My course is perfect for me, it is everything I hoped for and more, so the fact I'll have to graduate next year makes me so sad. I love learning new things, I love being able to sit and learn about something new all the time, which is why I'm so grateful that here in the UK I got the opportunity to attend such a great university and take a course that is exactly what I wanted to do. It is just so sad that July next year I will have graduated and will have to move on to other things. 

3. Opportunities: I have had so many great opportunities since coming to university, especially in my second year. When I started second year I knew that I needed to start building up my CV and gaining experience. So I explored and looked into it and now I'm writing for The Tab, I work for the university's marketing department as a content creator writing blog posts and I've been able to network with people in the media and creative industry. I'm grateful that I'm able to have these opportunities through uni and gain more experience in the industry I want a career in.

4. Learning to become independent: One thing I learnt from moving away from home and moving to a new city is how to be independent and how to look after myself. I was always quite independent when I was back home and living with my parents, but I never had to do my washing, cook for myself everyday and if I was unsure about something my parents were always there. Whereas, since moving to Newcastle I had to learn how to do everything on my own, make my own decisions and look after my money (including earning my own money). I can confidently say now that I'm able to do everything on my own (unless I'm really stuck and I ring my mum and dad haha!).

There are so many more reasons why I'm grateful for getting the opportunity to go to Newcastle University, but they can wait for another time  💕

See you on Wednesday my lovelies!
