Commuting to University?

After my last blog post I've been thinking a lot about commuting to university. I really haven't been enjoying living away from home. I'm such a homey person and always have been. Literally every morning I wake up and just wish I was at home.

I've tried everything to make myself feel better like going to society stuff, going to all my lectures and making friends on my course and hanging out with my flat mates. I just feel like I need to be at home, I've eaten one meal since I've been at uni because I feel so sad being away from home.  Everyone thinks that I am just homesick but I don't think that that is the case, I know what it feels like to be homesick and I just don't think this is the case.

My university is only 55 minutes on the train away from me and then a maximum 20 minute walk to the campus so all together an 1 hour 15 minutes. That really isn't bad to commute to uni considering that I only have to be in 3 days a week. I'm about to give it a go in the coming weeks to see if it's doable and whether I feel any happier so I'll keep you updated. Although I am worried that I'll miss out on the 'uni' life, I really am not the type of person that goes out clubbing and stuff anyway. I just wanted to post this to say to the younger people, don't feel like you HAVE to stay in halls if you know you're going to be unhappy.

Starting University

Hi guys,

I wanted to start blogging about my uni life because I'm sure there will be people reading my blog that will be starting university at some point in their life. So at this moment I am three weeks in. I'm finding it really difficult at the moment and everyone keeps telling me that everyone feel this way.  To make me feel better about starting university I've decided to start a 'what I wore' blog series I guess you can call it.

I'm going to be posting about what I wear for nights out/ lectures/ to society stuff. All of that stuff. Hopefully you can get a few tips and outfit ideas for yourselves. I'm also going to be writing my progress at uni and how I'm settling in. I hope that this can help people who are going to uni next year etc.

Anyway, so I'm going to start off with my first day of uni outfit. Here it goes, this is what I wore to my first lecture...

I wanted to wear something comfy but something that kind of looks good at the same time. I wasn't bothered about impressing people but when you dress nice I think that it can boost your confidence which I needed some more of since I was about to meet a bunch of strangers. 

So what I decided to wear was just a casual t-shirt from Toyshop, an Asos Bomber Jacket, River Island leggings and scarf and a pair of boots from Just Fab. Ohhhhh btw guys, these boots were literally only £12 including shipping. When you first sign up you get like 70% off or something. Just a little tip ;) 

Anyway, although this is my uni outfit this is obviously an idea for school, college etc. I'll be uploading my outfits regularly from now on so stay tuned! xoxo
