But who blames you? Uni is a scary jump from school\/college or wherever you have been before. Adjusting to a new area, new people and new routines will take time so don\u2019t worry if you feel a bit wobbly for a while! There is plenty of support around you if you ever need someone to talk to<\/a>. The trick is to keep yourself busy! Why not explore the area with your flatmates\/friends or plan what you\u2019re going to do the next time you have a day off. How about joining a society? There\u2019s plenty to choose from and some are super relaxed! Check out some of these chilled societies below:<\/p>\n Baking, ASMR, Art, Cocktail and Mocktail, Coffee, Disney, Gamers, Harry Potter<\/p>\n Mostly B\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n You always feel like you\u2019re behind in the game and you feel a bit stressed about the whole uni process. It\u2019s ok! There is a lot that going on leading up to and during your first few weeks at uni and it\u2019s difficult to stay on top of things. Try writing a list to make you feel more organised and take time for yourself so that you feel ready for this new beginning.

Check out some of these societies:<\/p>\n Archery, Athletics, Beach bay runners, Photography, Podcast, Sip n Sketch, Swimming<\/p>\n Mostly C\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019re pretty chilled about starting uni and that\u2019s great! There\u2019s nothing to worry about! Perhaps do a bit of research of the campus and your course so that you can figure things out without having to ask others, you might find yourself on your own at one point and it will be really useful to know where you\u2019re going!
