Going Back To Uni After A Month Break
Times like this I have the urge to
write but I don’t because I’m too exhausted to but I guess I’m just going for
it right now.
So today after a long enough, one
month break from Uni I’m going back today. I can’t sleep either, don’t know if
it’s because ‘I’m not ready to go back’ but when would I have ever felt ready? Probably
a good percentage after the shit ton of lecture re-watching I SHOULD HAVE done.
Not
going to lie the first week back I was a sad bitch for a whole week…I was
sleeping more, waking up when the day was half way done; nonsense. That was
probably because you go from seeing people everyday at uni and coming home and
not having that (friends wise).
But yeah. For some reason I don’t have a good
network of ‘close friends’, keyword ‘close’. Like I went through primary school
with a best friend, went secondary was bullied for a good couple of years ha….(I
should do a look through my dairy blogpost series, ayeee because I’ve
completely blanked out that period of my life…reading it would be woOh and as
you can see I haven’t for years ufft)…But yeah secondary I was bullied for a
dreadful couple of years and then God blessed me with a friendship group I’d gotten
close with and looking back at it now I miss that, it was a beautiful thing and
I really hate I have an absence of a girl friendship group network…These days I
only hang out with individuals and don’t get me wrong I’m really grateful for
that….because during my friendship group they were all I knew, we were all we
knew until things went sour with us and we were no longer an ‘us’. I still had
a best friend from that friendship group for years after even when our group
was ‘diminishing’ lmao…we were so close it was always “where’s your other half?”
But even that was destroyed and ruined…by so many different things and events… But
I’m still grateful to have a few people that text me on a regular but a girl
still needs her ‘girl group’ and I want something real like that again. I mean
I’ve had all these twists and turns in my life I’m not giving up hope yet. God’s
got a plan for me, he always does. Drake said it first π
#God’s Plan….
That was a huge other segment (I went into but didn’t really
go in to) that was the background of this post because life has alllll these
fucking backgrounds…History’s always relevant my loves. π€·
But yeah, RESUME.
So when I got back I had nothing to look forward to in terms of plans and
friendships. It’s actually really sad haha like you’d see everyone else on snapchat
reuniting with their friends back home and it’s like I wish I had a ‘home’. You
know the metaphorical saying that ‘home’ is the people who love you. But anyways
so I wasted a whole entire week being miserable, then I took things into action.
I told myself I need to initiate the
plans, do something exciting to get me out of this shithole feeling. And guess
what your girl went ice-skating for the first time, I went winter wonderland
for the first time, and it turned out to be great (: Of course some regular
plans too but yeah, like I always say HUMAN CONNECTION IS EVERYTHING. So had the
second week busy with plans and finaaaaallly I was able to start revising the
way I was supposed to on the 3rd week (let’s say, at least properly).
And I realised how long my bloody 2 hour lectures actually take, some times a
couple day and more YIKES. So I didn’t do as much as I could of but like I said
on my twitter:
Another thing I
wanna get off my chest…social media is actually so consuming, can be such a
black hole. A huge part to that whole first week happening. I always snap when
I’m at uni because I have people around me constantly, hence more things
happening to post. But because I had came back home I felt like other people
were gonna judge me based on me not posting on social media when I come back from
uni, because literally I had nothing happening…Which is really bad but hey surface
level. We’ll go into the ‘confinement’ segment another blog post time ffs
π
But yeah now I’m
going back (1:11am makes a wish)…So as I
was saying I’m going back to uni today, after this night of nostalgia and
sleeplessness? If that’s even what it is. And not going to lie the uni experience
isn’t going that well. It’s good but not “going well”. It’s such a alienating
feeling when you don’t get along with your housemates…Like there’s no drama but
there’s also no connection, whilst most of all the girls on the flat are really
close like one group…It was so heart breaking when I was on snapchat seeing
them all celebrate thanksgiving together and I didn’t even get an invite. That
just shows you I don’t really matter ha. “When life gives you lemons you don’t
cry, they’re not onions…………………………………….” Okay alright I know dry dad jokes that
I made on twitter when I was thinking about the situation this morning…Have a
laugh if anything π€·
Don’t get me wrong
guys I have a couple friends but they live in their own area on campus (which
is further than you think) and so they have their own thing with their
housemates and even friends and I’m left being/ feeling like the clingy friend…Another
not so great feeling.
So yeah the part I haven’t
been enjoying the most about uni is getting food…because I’m part catered and
so I don’t really have a definite person to go down with…It’s always a gamble
everyday…and it just makes me anxious like the way I used ‘…and’ together lmao.
And sometimes they just go down without inviting me and it’s just awkward
having to go down eating alone…Yeah, I should get over that because there’s
nothing wrong with it. But it’s also not a good feeling. I remember the boys
came and joined me once was so cute, really appreciate small shit like that. After
all, we all want to feel wanted. So, anyone reading this…if there’s anything
you can take from this is: include people. That is one of the best things you
can do for someone, honestly.
So yeah back to the
post… Hence why I’m sort of off put about going back, even though I love the
freedom at uni and I know I can’t stay sheltered forever. Packing is also a pain
the anxiousness from hoping not to forget anything but also to fit everything
in. Yikes thank the lord I have someone would can drive me there because I don’t
know what I would have done. It’s hard because a car is so convenient but so
financially draining; let me not even think about it…Really need to find a job
this term. Need to do so much more and get more out of uni like they always glamourise.
SO cheers to that.
The main reason I
wanted to write this was because I wanted it to be a time stamp of the past…Which
hopefully I can look back to when everything’s better and you can also see that
things do get better. I know I got a lot to do to get there but like my friend said,
“If you don’t have your optimism, you have nothing” and with that I’ll be okay.
What I hope from
this term is that I make loads more friends, I want that friendship love I’ve been
missing out on…A SISTER GROUP. Something genuine with depth and understanding…I
want to fix my past mistakes when I had a friendship group and appreciate it wholly
this time round. That’s the main thing I want right now; in this time period of
my life and I’m hopeful, always hopeful.
