Over the past week, I’ve been forced to put up with hordes of rowdy students traipsing up and down my street. Their conversations can be heard from my bedroom; they are often drunk, and they are always loud. They move in large groups, to and from gigs and pubs, at all hours of the day and night. I commend them.

While it’s vital to attend all your lectures, and read all your readings, and start your assignments early, it’s also vital to have fun. It’s normal to feel nervous about the start of uni. Just don’t let that nervousness stop you from having a good time. 

Go out. Do something silly. It’s an integral part of being a student.
