Say hello to
a new freedom, ridiculously long summers, a whole new set of friendships and a
well respected education, or so it would seem. In other words conquer the city ,
be bold, strive for success and immerse yourself in the heights of fashion.
Thought
train …
The city is
yours
You choose
how you look
Success is
in your hands
DO- Push the boundaries, go out of your
comfort zone
DO- Approach people
DO- Go out even when you do not feel
like it, spontaneous nights out are the best
DO- Try different things, activities,
societies, clubs
DO- Attend most of your lectures. Have
a happy balance between going out and work, you will be surprised how many
lectures you are able to turn up to on a few hours sleep.
DO- Live like a student. This is my
weakness, £50/60/70 outfits and Marks and Spencers food shopping? I need a
little practice.
DO- Take pride in the place you live
whether it is only for a year or not
DO NOT- Expect luxury
DO NOT- Stress over work. Talk to your
tutor if you are struggling you can find some guidance
DO NOT- Opt for work over going out,
unless you are behind. Being organised is one thing, being boring is another.
DO NOT- focus on the fact that 40% is a
pass although at many points of your first year this is a welcomed though.
Strive to achieve.
DO NOT- put up with a flat/house that
is falling apart. Speak up.

away for the weekend

· Candles and diffusers
· Photos- Although I do not like displaying photos
(personal choice) I can understand why many opt for then especially if you live
so far away from home. Instead I choose fashion campaigns to decorate my pin
board, this is my place to admire.
· Throws and cushions with a glamorous duvet- Make
sure you invest in at least one gorgeous duvet set. The key to a room you’ll
love is starting at the focal point which is the bed so make sure you decorate
accordingly and you will love it!
· Organisers- Having a clean and organised room
clears your mind and makes you feel good about yourself, or so I find.
· Lightshades and lamps
· Books/DVDs- Fill your room with your favourite
books and DVDs to create a more homely vibe.
