Leaving Home!

For the past 3 years or so I have been counting down the days until it's my turn to start University. That was the first year that people I knew quite well started University, before that as far as I knew everyone in year 13 left school and then disappeared. When that year started Uni I saw all the pictures on Facebook and from then on I have been looking forward to starting Uni more than anything else. Until recently, it hadn't even crossed my mind that it might be quite hard to leave my life at home behind.

I'm still excited to start, what is pretty much going to be my new life, but now I've realised just how hard it's going to be to say goodbye to everything and everyone. The difficulty of this whole process really depends on which university I end up at. One of my top choices is just under and hour and a half away so I would be able to pop home when ever I liked and people would be able to visit me all the time, however, the other one is on the other side of the country so things would be very different.

It's not actually too big a deal in my mind but I will miss everyone loads and it's a bit weird to think I'm going to leave everything behind. It's not only my family that will be here but my two best friends are in the year below me and it'll be a bit weird not having them around all the time too.

Those sad goodbyes don't come until the end of the year though and although I've got a lot of hard work to do to actually get into university, there's lots to look forward to because I'm not going just yet!
