Uni is odd

At the moment it feels like a youth hostel trip with complete strangers. I'm in a foreign room with yellow walls and share a kitchen between 7 lovely people. 

I'm loving it so far. Adoring it. Feeling v when will my life begin reprise 2

University is like the solar system

I have watched hundreds of videos about university on YouTube yet not one has mentioned the fear you feel before you go.

It's not so much a fear of not fitting but more of the unknown and I'll know I'll fit as the most popular idea for dress up is Disney and one of the main threads on the FB group is where the nearest nandos are to each campus. I mean it's ridiculous because it's not that unknown because I'll be at London, where I've basically grown up. I just have no idea who my flat mates are at all which is a bit scary.

I keep thinking about how university is like the solar system. No matter how far I go out (and tbh my commute home is 5 minutes longer than my journey home from school so I'm basically only at Mercury in this analogy) I'll always have home as my anchor, like the sun. I'll just gravitate round and round it, with a second home on a different planet.
