Hello you lovely lot!

So, with just under a month until I move over to Liverpool I thought I would write a little blog post about it all!

I am SO excited to go and, even though I get little panic sessions where I think I'm in to deep, there's not really a doubt in my mind that this is what I want and Liverpool is where I want to go. Liverpool is where I lived when I was growing up, it's where quite a lot of my family live and a place I feel comfortable in.

Yes, I'm scared to leave my family as I'm not very good with homesickness, I'm scared to leave my dogs because they really do mean the world to me and I'm scared to leave my friends because I'm worried they'll find new friends and friendships I've had for years will be long forgotten.

However, I am excited to actually look forward to seeing my brother as we don't really get on at the moment. I'm excited to leave some friends who have been nothing but toxic in the past few years. I'm excited to meet new people and learn new things.

I won't be very well off but I will be able to live which is the main thing, I don't think student life is ever easy unless you're loaded maybe. I've been talking to the girls in my flat and they all seem so lovely so I think that's out my mind at rest a bit.

I've bought quite a lot of my stuff and packing it has made my feel a bit sick, I am literally moving out of my home. I don't think it's quite hit me yet. It will only be about two weeks before I see my mum and Dad again, I'm also coming home at the end of October, November, December and in January for my birthday so it's not like I won't be at home all the time!

I'm also able to stay in contact with my friends and most importantly, Natalie. Since Natalie is in Berlin it will make no real difference to our current situation, the only thing is we may not be at home at the same time anymore, whereas before, when she came home I knew I would be there! I am going to Berlin with her and her Mum for New Years though which is all very exciting!

Basically, what I'm saying is, no matter how scared I am, it'll be fine! If I don't enjoy it I can drop out (but that's a last resort). I will make friends, I will learn loads of new stuff and I will have the best three years of my life! Without a doubt there will be tears (I cried all the way home after I said goodbye to Natalie, let alone my whole family!) and there will be nights when I want nothing more than a hug off my mum, but telephones and FaceTime exist. If I don't want to talk to my parents for fear of getting upset I know I can talk to Natalie or Paige on FaceTime, or I could ring Lizzie or Giorgia. I will of course have the girls in my flat too, Abbey, Nicole, Natalie and Kayleigh who are all in the same boat!

So, the main message of this is, no matter how scary something is, it will usually have positive effects. So try it! Whether it's University, a new job, a new hobby, anything! If you do it and decide you don't like it, then fair enough, but if you never try you'll never know!

I have so many more Uni posts to come (the next one will be a haul type thingy, then first impressions and more!) and I'm so excited to write them, sometimes I think I'd like to move in tomorrow!

Thanks For Reading!
