When The Day Met the Night

I was sat with my flatmate Sophie today and we were sitting there seeing the end of first year fast approaching and it seems almost unfathomable to think we could of made a home in less than a year and yet it is a home, it has been for a year and it will be for the next two years. I feel like ive met so many people and ive learnt lessons that im probarbly not even aware of yet but theyve impacted me and made me grow up. I find it hard to sit here and say like many university students that uni is the best thing, i think for many this is true but for me I came to university to study fashion and thats the only reason, I wanted to move away from my family and i needed a new place to live but i didn't come to uni like many for the 'lifestyle', not to say i dontt enjoy it i'd be lying to say i didnt theres many days with many memories that i wouldnt swap i just want to keep moving, i want to keep learning i dont want to 'sleep all day and party all night' i want to have fun in the evenings and during the day i want to succeed, i want to push myself and i want to proove myself, so that when i move through uni and i come to the day where i start to push my way into work i am just continuing doing what ive always done, trying to make something of myself, making friends on the way and doing something im passionate about and sleeping wherever i may rest my head that night depending where fashion takes me, i hope always with a few close people near by. This year the course has taught be many things, its showed me i need to sit up and take note that there are hundreds of fashion students just in this country and everyone is different and everyone is a talent in someones eyes just maybe not the ones that are looking at you at the moment. I've learnt i need to wake up early and start making something of every day and making something in every day, last year at Leeds i forgot what it was like to work hard at something and this year i think ive struggled to get back into it i feel like i am now, but i feel i need to push myself harder next year. Ive learnt that I need to get work experience and start becoming an adult and actually doing something because i want to not because im told to. Ive really enjoyed writing this blog it helps to write everything down and even when your feeling down about something to force yourself to see a positive in a situation, im going to look at starting a blog seperate from this but to keep a record of everything thats going on, so much can happen in a year, this time a year ago i was studying at Leeds University, now im studying at Coventry University! who knows maybe next year ill be a worldwide famous fashion designer.... or maybe ill just settle for making it through to a second year at uni..
