University time - The time of your life!

Last year today, at about the same hour I was trying my best to go to sleep, but the excitement of a second day in Uni kept me up for the most part of the night. You cannot even begin to imagine what lengths I've had to go to make my face look even remotely similar to what it normally does. But that's not really the point here... 

This post is about time flying by. 

It seemed like I was still trying to work out what I want to write in my personal statement just a couple of weeks back (now it seems more like a couple of months ago :) ). And then suddenly my application was submitted for five universities I did not know much about. I must tell you that coming from abroad (Romania) makes it just a bit harder to choose a university. Hardly ever will anyone from a foreign country will go for campus tours, for Open Days, or anything that might give you a first hand idea of what the place you'll be spending the next 3-4 years in will be like. I therefore based my decision on the highest employability rate after graduation in my area and the prettiest prospectus (when I say pretty I mean reader friendly and not so serious looking) which included exactly what I wanted to study, in almost the exact wording : Advertising and Marketing Communications. Waiting for the good news seemed to last ages, but after that I feel like I just blinked and then somehow I was already at a cool Fresher's party. Putting all the paperwork together, sorting accommodation, packing my life in a suitcase and a half, boarding the plane, setting up and actually starting Uni didn't really seem to have happened. And I honestly can't say that I know when the first year in uni has gone. I just hope the second one stays with me a bit longer!  

Did you notice your time passing by? And how did you choose your Uni?

Love,

Maddie.
