If you come 2nd in anything you always know that you did well, but you need to try harder to come 1st and avoid 3rd. Well the 2nd year of Uni feels like that. Winning something and comming 1st feels great, its always a new exciting feeling, 1st day of school all through the year it is exciting, 1st year in a new town again throughout the year it is fun and exciting, winning a race for the 1st time, a new feeling of accomplishment, but then you get 2nd, and its just not the same feeling, its more of a "yay i did well, but.. oh... now i have to do it all over again" sort of feeling!
Right now i am in my 2nd year of uni, and it just seems like more of a strain to get up and go in and sit around and do work, and even going out drinking and "living the student life" is a strain now. Maybe i am just turning into an old lazy person before my time but i would much prefer to sleep in until i want, get up, eat, tidy up and go out and see things with the boyfriend. With going out and partying, again getting all dressed up, making sure the make-up is done right, choosing an outfit and doing your hair, every other night, all just seems like a waste of time, considering as soon as you and everyone else has had a few to drink, no one really gives a toss what you look like. I would much rather go down to the pub with jeans and a tshirt on and just drink with a load of friends! To be honest, the work load at uni is not really helping matters..... there is sooooo much work to do this year, and there not, how they say "spoon feeding" us this year, which to be fair means i look at my computer screen see what i need to do and facepalm the table.
Comparing this 2nd year to the 1st year within work load terms, the 1st year actually did not count towards the final degree, which meant it didn't really matter what grade i got, as long as i passed, it was fine, but this year, any grade i get in a module counts to the final degree! Which means for me anyway, no more leaving things 3 days before the deadline, and just doing the minimal work! Actually having to stay in all day and night glued to a computer, researching and doing work. I am completely determined this year to get NOTHING below a C, like i don't want to sound all big headed, i am definitely not one of these people that can sit around all day and then just pull an A grade out of a hat with minimal effort! (oh how i envy those people) I am one of those unlucky people who has to revise every second of the day and read a dozen books to just get a B grade!
Even though i am stressing so much with this 2nd year at uni, there is one major thing in my life that has made the 2nd year amazing and easier to cope with! The Boyfriend <3
If he wasn't in my life right now i would be running around a field screaming due to stress levels, but i am not, so, that's a plus.
With him being in my life it just takes a load of weight off me, he will sit there whilst i rant on and on about how much work i have to do (even if he sometimes might not pay attention, its still nice to have that someone)
Its nice to just get out of the house and get away from uni work and chill with him, the nights in when we both help cook dinner (well he cooks and i sit there and smile) and the days i have with him, i treasure!
I dont want to sound all cheesy and that, but he is amazing! and i love him very much <3 James Salisbury <3
I would say to anyone that is in there 1st year of uni who is reading this, MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR 1ST YEAR!!! someone said that to me in my 1st year, and i was like "meh, uni is going to be amazing all 3 years" but NO!! right now i can honestly say the 1st year was less stressful! even if your in your 1st year and your stressing about, money, food, work, that is nothing compared to 2nd year worries!
My thoughts right now; "I am most likely going to post again this time next year saying that 3rd year is horrible and to appreciate 2nd year"
So i am going to take that advice, and appreciate the 2nd year, do as much work as i can! but also party and live that "student life" (maybe not quite as heavy as the 1st year though ;))
Until then (Y)
