Welcome back Lovelies! I hope you are all doing well! I thought I'd update you on how I'm doing and how I feel about college. This was highly requested from the survey and a lot of you wanted me to make a more personal post, so I hope you like this! Back in September '16, I was very unsure of whether I wanted to stay at high school in the sixth form department or go to college. Week after week I changed my mind back and forth, stay or leave is all I thought about. On the bad days (and trust me, there were many) I just thought, I'm leaving soon, and the good days I seriously questioned why I wanted to leave. I was told that you'll know where you want to go on results day, and I didn't believe them. I honestly had enough with the amount of stress and pressure I was feeling everyday and night being there. Don't get me wrong, I had some amazing times there but I had to look at how I was feeling and I had to be honest with myself, and so I decided to leave. I was so undoubtedly nervous and for those of you who know what I'm like, I was definitely overthinking any possible situation that could ever happen (including it getting cancelled and I was the only one who didn't know - you know, those kind of pointless thoughts). Honestly though, there was nothing to worry about. Everyone was super friendly and felt the exact same. On August 30/31 we had to go to a 2-day induction where I met my first friend, Achai (honestly - how beautiful is her name!?) who is such a lovely girl and I was so happy because it felt like a fresh start for me, which I didn't realise I needed. We were given a few talks and most importantly our timetable (the organiser in me was looking forward to this the most). And that was basically it for the induction. On Monday 4th, I went for my first 2 hour maths lesson where I met some great people who were so kind and lovely, it really helped knowing others felt the same as me and so I did start to relax. On Tuesday 5th I met James who I realised was in all my lessons and tutor and Kian who I was with for everything except maths. At this point, I was really grateful for familiar faces so I didn't feel like I was being interviewed everyday. From this I met some wonderful people including Emily, Gina, Taniya, Beth, Matt, Annikha and Nayaab (sorry if I forgot you!) who I don't know how I'd get through psychology without them. These people honestly brighten my days and make me laugh so much, so for this I'm incredibly thankful. However, I am starting to miss those I left especially Jenny and Shaan who are the most amazing people in my life. It feels so strange to know they are still at school and interacting with students and teachers who I'll never see again. Overall, college has been an amazing experience so far and I'm so glad I've gotten the chance to have a new opportunity. Do I miss my old school? Yes. Would I go back? Probably not. That's all for todays post! I hope you feel like you know me better! Please fill out the anonymous survey, leave comments down below and let me know what you want to see next!
