1. Where do you study?

I am studying my degree at the University of Northampton. Check them out here.

2. What do you study?

The course I am studying is BA Fashion Marketing. It is divided by business modules, and fashion modules, and is a three year course.

3. What year are you in?

I am about to begin my second year, and am incredibly excited. I love uni life and the whole university experience. Although, this year I am going to have a lot more work to do, so I will be considerably more focused this year - maybe even go out slightly less lol :(

4. Do you live at home or at uni?

I live in a house in Northampton and share it with my housemate Lauren.

5. How old are you?

I am 19 years old, turning 20 in November.

6. What are your three uni essentials?

I would say, in terms of university, my three essentials are 1. a trusty notepad that can be used for to-do lists as well as writing notes in lectures; 2. a lighter - during freshers you will meet a lot of people on nights out, who are almost always looking for a lighter, so if you just slip it in your clutch bag, you'll end up chatting with some new people and potentially making new friends 3. a comfy pair of trainers. Walking between lectures can be a drag if you're dressed up in a carefully styled outfit including statement shoes or simply a pair lacking in comfort. A pair of trainers are a life saver!! They don't have to be expensive, I bought an ASOS pair during freshers last year and am still regularly wearing them.

7. What is your favourite meal to cook?

Myself and George regularly cook fajitas, which are definitely my favourite, although George does do most of the cooking, and the amount of times I have now eaten fajitas is slightly off-putting at times. Its like listening to a song over and over, the novelty is wearing thin. BIG LOVE TO OLD EL PASO. <3 

8. What is the latest you've been to the library?
To be honest, I am way more productive in the day-time, so I have yet to stay in the library until late, although I am almost certain I was in the library around 9pm a few times last year.

9. Ever done an all-nighter to finish work?
Noooo! I couldn't do that if I tried, and the pressure of doing work last minute is just too much lol, I'm a bit of an organised maniac so generally, I don't think I will ever experience that unless something goes terribly wrong, which hopefully it won't. *touch wood*

10. Your favourite university moment so far?
I honestly couldn't choose one moment. Every night out has been amazing, you can push on through the early morning lectures, hanging out with your friends is so much fun, and working hard on projects that interest you is unbeatable. I love uni life and I am honestly going to be so emotional when I graduate.

11. One piece of advice for a fresher?
Just don't worry. Everything will fall into place, you will make friends and you will find your feet, you'll manage the workload, you'll be ok for money no matter how skint you are, and there is such a good support network at university so just enjoy yourself. Party hard, work hard, and don't worry, just savour every moment as a student. It's awesome.

12. Something you worried about for no reason?
Similarly to the previous question, I worried so much about making friends, and not fitting in to the 'university student personality', but honestly I cannot tell you all enough, do not worry! You will find a great group of friends that are so suited to who you are, there is no need to worry about making friends or fitting in. Everybody is in the same boat, everyone feels a bit out of place and wants to make friends. It will happen, just don't force it.

I hope you enjoyed this post, I'll see you all next time.
Peace out x

'It is a strange thing to see you now and be unable to recall how it felt to love you. Like a half remembered dream, the essence of what we shared is there, but the details are all hazy. Like a house I grew up in, you are still familiar to me, but the feeling of home is now missing.' Beau Taplin / Childhood Homes
