Chapter 5: Fucking freshers
HEY
So yea i'm fucking here and its been like 5 weeks. Kinda got caught up in the whole uni thing, oops. But here is basically what happened -
So moving in was a bit of a mindfuck, I'd been so freaking excited for it, felt like the past month had just been leading up to that moment. So after a boring and slightly uncomfortable drive down (being being squished in the back of the car with useless shite) I got to Exeter. 🚗🚓
Unloaded the car blah blah blah, said goodbye and I was on my own. In the kitchen I met my first flatmate, lets call him Ben. Indie kid, nice, polite. Doesn't seem like a weirdo, phew. We hung out there for a bit and slowly more flatmates came in. Why is this is such a blur? There is gap in my mind as all i can remember next is that we are all sitting round the table.
Steph, Ryan, James, Katie and Ellie.😬 (oh and another Asian guy, but he would remain a mystery)
All seem normal. THANK THE LORD.
But besides ben i can't really remember my first opinions on anyone. Katie intimidated me a bit but the others draw a blank.
When i get nervous I get so overly confident, literally I'm so loud and people get a false impression of me. Basically me and Ben commanded the night- forcing drinking games on everyone. Tbf it was a really good ice-breaker. 🍹🍸🍾
Paying 'Never have I ever' ( #classic ) confirms they are all okay. (ish- but i wouldn't know that until later)
We go over the classic questions, where are you from? What are you studying? All that crap I completely forgot and would continue to ask over the next week. I barely remembered their names, i was just trying to keep my hands from shaking.
Felt like I was in an episode of fresh meat or something.
We got drunk and went out. Its such a crazy thing, if you think about it, you are getting drunk with a complete group of strangers. Weirder still, you kinda know (or hope) that these people might become your best friends. These strangers in a few weeks will know me pretty fucking well, but right then I wouldn't have been able to tell you 3 facts about them.
Turns out freshers can be fucking boring.😪You go out every night, thats great and all but no one tells you what the hell you are supposed to do for hours upon hours in the day with these randoms. We did a lot of sitting in the kitchen, going for brunch and 'exploring'. It got old pretty quick after the first few days.
Freshers summed up:
1) We go out, mostly to the same place, which is shit, but we've got wristbands.
2) A girl tells me she thinks we are already 'so close' - spoiler, barely speak now. 🤣
3) I can hardly eat, I'm so nervous/ slightly homesick and just completely disorientated.
4) I feel like I'm about to experience the best thing everrrr (cringe now)
Not to be a bummer but uni isn't all its cracked up to be. Silly fresher, I didn't know this yet.
So yea, thats pretty much my first few days. I got the dreaded flu (5 weeks later, ive still got a cold, yum). Managed not to die, so thats always a plus.
Week 1 ✅
Love,
