First impressions



My first impressions of university are that everything moves fast it doesn't wait for anyone. So far I am enjoying it and the new challenges that come with it taking on a heavier work load, paying nine grand for this experience so I have to make the most of it. Hopefully in the future when I look back on my degree and my time here I can say that it was fully worth it and that I made the most of my time here.
It is a big culture shock in terms of work ethic has been the biggest change I took a gap year and I worked for a year in retail and the work demands are more different. I feel that in university the work is more tiring because it requires thinking unlike the job I did in retail. There are new challenges each day at university and they are both mentally and physically challenging; not monotonous like my job in retail.
 
Socially it is better than the first week and there are societies that made it much easier to settle in. I have also met people from London and all over the world, people from places I would have never thought people would come from.  I am part of the squash society which has helped me meet loads of new people in that sense and also out on nights too but I will try I avoid going out too much at night. Hopefully I can enjoy what the year has to offer.
