It's strange as this is the 1st time entering formal education that I am truly alone since I started nursery.
In primary school I had nursery friends, plus at that age it is easy to make friends.
In secondary school I had friends from primary.
In college I had a few friends from secondary ( and even a few from primary)
When I started at LJMU ( my 1st uni) although I didn't know people on my course I had friends local that I could hang out with and share the freshers experience, go on nights out and spend time with. I did make a couple of friends on my course who I also lived with in halls first year but they weren't lasting friendships.

But this time I know no one, none of my friends are students and its a completely different experience.
So here is how my 1st week is going. It's half way through freshers week now and up to not it's not too bad
Monday I left our house at 6.45am as I was awake and too excited to just sit around. I arrived at Edge Hill for 7.15am after traveling on 3 motorways. It's all good practice to see what time I need to leave by of a morning.
First lecture was 9am and we stayed in there till break at 11am, it was welcome to uni introductions as well as information from the Student union and occupational health.
after our break we learnt about the library and learning edge before lunch.
After Lunch we met our peer mentors, second years who we can ask questions and get advice from during our first year.
Tuesday was a day off :D So I went shopping with my mum for holiday clothes for her and my dad as they go on a cruise in 3 weeks.
Wednesday I left a little later at 7.05am and arrived by 7.30am.
It was more information about online access and how to use Blackboard and learning edge.

We then had freshers fair. I got free pizza, sweets and loads of information ( mostly don't do drugs/ don't drink drive)
I joined a couple of societies, even though i don't know if i will be able to go to the events a lot I thought I would join some anyway.
I chose to join
Pokemon - I love playing Pokemon Go.

Disney- I am a huge Disney fan.
Harry Potter - who doesn't love Harry Potter
At 12.30pm I went to get fitted for my uniform, the sizing is a little small so I ended up having to size up 2 sizes. I'm excited to get it in November and I will put up some pictures then.
