Woah...

Hello, yes this is Shan and yes i'm still alive. It has been almost 8 months since I last posted but I can say that I have had so much to share but so little time to post. Right now I am writing this post from my new home in Liverpool. If I hadn't mentioned before, I lived just outside Manchester but 2 days ago I moved to the centre of Liverpool to start my new journey at Liverpool John Moores University. Already I can tell how much I am going to love this city.
  I am currently studying Applied Psychology in the hopes of developing a career in Drama Therapy (strange, I know). I know that a lot of people viewing blogs today are of quite a young age range where they might be thinking of moving on to higher education. All I can say right now is DO IT!!!! I have only spent two nights in my new little flat with 4 other flat mates and i'm having so much fun. Obviously I wont be having so much fun when the actual work begins. If you're anything like me, you'll be losing sleep over if you actually want to go to University or not. I was highly convinced that I would not receive the grades to get into my first choice (which is where I am now) and that id have to take a couple of years out to try and find a different way to get into uni besides finishing my A-levels. On the day of my results I was so worried about checking my UCAS application to see if I had got into LJMU or not. I found out I had got in even before I found out my results. The thing that ran through my head was that maybe in a years time, my results would not be good enough and that something is telling me that this year is my year. I've had one of the hardest years of my life this year for many reasons, and I am going to keep private. I may discuss them in the future but right now I am still trying to cope. Through all of this darkness and down times, LJMU is the one thing that made me happy and excited to start this new chapter. Ill keep this blog hopefully up to date as I may have quite a bit of free time now. If you would like to see my little room for the next year please don't hesitate to leave a comment. I will also answer questions if you have any. Please leave suggestions of what you would like to see and I will try to get them done.

Thanks for being so patient.

University

Hey guys, just thought I'd give you a little blog post so you don't think that I have disappeared off the face of the planet. This one is about something that is HUGE in my opinion and that is university. So recently I sent off my UCAS application which over in the UK is one of the most popular ways to apply for university. Anyway, I've recently just got 3 offers out of 5 of the uni's I've applied for. One is from my main choice. This is something I've aspired to since I was tiny. But now it really quite scares me. Moving out from my home, meeting strangers and the workload are just the starters of things that terrify me. The only thing keeping me strong is knowing how proud it is making my family and how much I will enjoy the experience of it. These next few months are going to be crazy hectic, full of revising and pressure from college and my family. I know it will be ALL worth it as I think 2015 is going to be my year. Please comment below if you have any advice for me or what your experience were like at university. Thanks everyone!
