Freshers' 2.0 - Why Second Year is Just Better

Image
Whenever I ask someone which year of university was their favourite, I've found the majority answer "2nd year" . So obviously I was pretty psyched to begin mine. Freshers' week (as an actual fresher) is built up to be the most amazing week of your life, and I know not everyone feels this way, but mine really wasn't. Don't get me wrong I had loads of fun , met loads of new people , and got loads of freebies (#win), but for me, moving away from home was pretty scary and all the new people, new places and new experiences were rather overwhelming . So it took me the week to find my newly independent feet and properly settle in. So for any freshers out there reading this, if you feel the same way, do not worry, it is completely normal and that feeling goes away. This brings me to the freshers' week of 2nd year, 'Freshers' 2.0' if you will. Exeter start ridiculously early for some reason so I'm actually coming to the end of mine but hopefull
