Its moving to uni season and I'm getting mad FOMO that I'm no longer a student and I'm just an adult. But I thought I'd create a little poster of things that are just essentials to take with you to uni from what I found through my time as a student. --- What other items do you think are essential to take to uni? --- #university #freshersweek #freshers #freshersessentials #unilife #illustration #illustrator #poster #watercolour #watercolourandpencil #watercolourillustrations #potnoodle #pestopasta #magic_of_illustrations #childrensbookillustrator #childishillustrations #charlotsart #kidlitillustration #childrensbookillustrator #food #clothes #painting #universityguide #art #artist #leedsbasedartist #leedsbasedillustrator #yorkshireartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CULGGrXskYG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daily Star: You can go to a real life School of Witchcraft just like Hogwarts this summer

This new knight came to Walchelin and revealed himself to be his brother Robert, who died in England. But Walchelin did not recognize him, or believe him, even after Robert revealed things that only his brother would know. Finally the dead knight exclaimed: “I am amazed by your hardness and obstinacy. I brought you up after both our parents died, and loved you more than any living person. I sent…

Freshers’ Week In Halls - Four Things I Wish I’d Known

I still remember the day I moved into halls so clearly; stepping off the train at Euston station, my family acting as concierges to move the ridiculous amount of stuff I insisted was ‘essential’ for uni, and the blend of excitement of fear that set in when I hugged them goodbye and was left alone in my cold and empty halls room.

Freshers’ week can be incredibly daunting, especially when you’ve moved away from home. It is a time where everyone needs guidance, and nobody really knows what they're doing. The most advice I read before setting off to university was ‘buy a doorstop to show you’re open to talking to people’; a nice idea on paper, but not really very helpful. Here are my top four things to keep in mind during freshers’ week that I wish I had known back then.

1)    You don’t have to be a party animal to make friends.

Freshers’ week is always hyped up to be a week of binge drinking and non-stop clubbing, to the extent that it seems you have to join in this lifestyle to make any friends at all. But this is simply not the case; in fact, it’s the friends that you do things other than fireball shots with that you’ll likely continue hanging with after the madness of freshers’ is over. Plus, in London especially, you’ll find that going to the popular clubs like Ministry of Sound and Egg will eat into your bank account like crazy. There are so many more fun things to do that don’t involve killing your liver, and the student union website will usually have a calendar of all sorts of activities running throughout the freshers’ period where you can meet new people.

On this note – don’t discount the student union club nights. Glittoris, which runs once every month at the UCL Students Union, is an LGBTQ+ club night with free entry, cheap drinks and the most fun and welcoming atmosphere. They have cheesy pop tunes, drag queens hosting all night and run a lip-sync battle a la Ru Paul’s drag race mid-way through the night. You can even bring a guest along with you if you have friends visiting from other unis. You cannot go wrong!

2)    You’re going to feel clueless. 

Having moved into your strange, very basic halls room, there’s going to be a period of time where you ask yourself how you will manage to live on your own, as an adult. You’re going to realise that the only things you can cook are beans on toast, oven chips and microwave rice. Or, if you’re as a bad as I was, realise you can’t even turn an oven on in the first place. Or work a washing machine. 

To avoid this crisis of confidence, arm yourself with a few basic skills before you make the move. For example, learn how to make some easy recipes. There are plenty of easy recipes online, my favourite go-to sites being BBC Food and Tesco Food Magazine. Bonus points if you find recipes with cheap ingredients -  chickpeas are a godsend. And please, please learn how to use a washing machine before you leave home, to avoid dying all your clothes pink.

3)    People are going to steal your food. 

Yes, even in the first week. This is a fact you will have to accept. Passive aggressive post-it notes left in halls kitchens may seem ridiculous to you now, but they are no myth you might even find yourself writing one out when someone eats half of your tub of Ben and Jerry’s Cookie Dough. The weirdest things I’ve had stolen from me include a bottle of rose wine and a tomato. One solution is to bring a padlock for your cupboard – but for the fridge, you might just have to stick to putting post-it notes on your food saying ‘may contain laxatives’.

4)    Don’t feel pressurised to do everything right. 

Freshers’ week can be overwhelming –adjusting to living alone in a new city, with SO MANY things going on and so many new people to meet. If you’re not careful, you can quickly find yourself in the position where you have planned to join 50 different societies and meet up with 15 different people in the same day. It’s ok to have a breather and do something relaxing! Take some time to yourself, go for a walk, and don’t put pressure on yourself to avoid missing out on everything going on. UCL actually hold a lovely Plant Sale in freshers’ which is the perfect way to take some time out from your new busy hectic social schedule. Also, you can buy a plant that doesn't need much maintenance and feel like you have your life together somewhat. Trust me, my cactus I bought back then is still with me and THRIVING. 

Life in freshers’ week, especially in halls, is chaotic. You’ll become best friends with people you’ve met for 5 minutes and then never talk to them again when the week is over. You will join the most random societies ever and never go to any of their events. Without fail, during the first week, someone will set the fire alarm off burning a pizza at 3am. And be known for it for the rest of the year. Don't let it be you.

But there is really no RIGHT way to do freshers’ week – just have a good time!

Where the journey began!

22nd November 2017. With GCSE certificates and other essentials in my bag my mum, step-dad and I began the car journey to Edge Hill University's campus in Ormskirk. It was my interview day and the nerves had already kicked in. I remember this day oh so well; it was a miserable day and I knew that how this day went determined the outcome of my future (not much pressure at all!)

The interview took, what seemed like, a lifetime! However, with a Maths and English test completed and sit down interview complete I headed to the Hub to meet back with my parents. It was such a relief that it was over - the only worry from then on was whether I had done enough for Edge Hill to offer me a place. It's fair to say that I barely slept with anticipation waiting for this e-mail telling me the fate of my future. On the day of the 27th November I got the e-mail telling me that I'd got a conditional offer, I was over the moon!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16th August 2018. A-Level results day. How much of a wreck was I? There was so much at stake if I didn't pass, so I was a complete emotional mess the week prior. On the day, opening that white daunting envelope, I could've collapsed from relief! With BBB I'd managed to secure my place on the Primary Education with QTS course. Happiest day of my life!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16th September 2018. Fast forward a month to move-in day. With the back of our car crammed to the brim with all my essentials (and non-essentials that I couldn't bare to leave) along with my parents, brother, grandma and myself we set off to my new home for the next 3 years. Within the hour I was going to be a fully enrolled student, and I was the happiest I'd ever been.

2 or so hours later and I was unpacked (but not organised!) and saying bye to my family. I was in my room for the first night, in Meadon block. It was strange but boy was I ready for this chapter of my life!

Freshers week came and went, I got to know my flatmates a little better and had some good nights! Lectures and seminars also had begun (well the induction ones) and quite honestly, I didn't hate them like I had expected to (I mean no one particularly wants to be coming back from a night out and then 4 hours later having to sit in a lecture theatre for a good few hours!)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6th December 2018. The day I'm writing this blog post. After 3 months of seminars and lectures and exemplar visits I can truly tell you that I love this course and am so glad that this is the path I decided to pursue! I have some of the best course mates, some of the most amazing flat mates and am actually enjoying and engaging with my course. I know it's only been 3 months but I can already tell that these three years are going to be the best in my life (so far!)

This post is just an introduction/journey so far kind of post. I still have notes and thoughts regarding my exemplar visits and from my seminars and lectures which I will post about soon enough! With the Christmas break steadily approaching I will be able to write up these notes to share.

Until next time,

Mr Townley :)
