#6: When life took a turn..

Well it was inevitable, I missed a day of Blogtember (#5). Ive been busy decorating my new uni house and making delicious food... please forgive me, I have done todays early for you:

Day 6: Describe a distinct moment when your life took a turn.

>

I swear these things are getting harder and harder to answer, I have been trying to think of what to write for this post for ages. There are many twists and turns in life, non of them interesting enough to write about or they are too personal and I don't want to write about them.

I have settled for the day that I moved to university. 

I know, I know, how boring and cliche of me, but I really think that at university my life took a turn for the better. I learnt a lot about myself and the people around me, I made a ton of new friends, lost old friends and got closer to the friends that I knew would never leave me. 

Going to university really does make you grow up, it makes you see life in a whole different perspective. I mean, I learnt how expensive food is.. It made me sad. 

You have to learn to look after money, decide how much drink is too much, deal with grown up problems that your parents probably sorted out for you a couple months before; and on top of all that you are possibly in a new place, with new people, starting a new course that requires you to give 100% for every essay. It really is hard work, even if everyone else thinks we have it easy. 

Now that I am going into my second year I feel more confident with myself and ready to tackle all the hardship that is going to come with this year. I don't know where m life would be without university, I like to think that if I would have taken a different path that I would still be having the time of my life. But for this turn in life I am enjoying myself and loving the people that are in my life, old and new. Hoorah for life, it is a funny thing.

So if any of you are going off to uni now or in the next couple of weeks; good luck, enjoy it and actually go in to uni and learn something, don't waste your time by just drinking, it doesn't get you anywhere.
