When typing this I don't think I have words to express how downhearted I am that university is over. Yes, I still have deadlines to complete but the experience as an entity has been ripped away unexpectedly and it's devastating. I knew I would have to graduate and move on at some point down the line and I was building myself up to be emotionally ready for that impact. The fear of the unknown of this virus is terrifying and no one was expecting the influence it would contain over our lives. As much as I love my family, I haven't lived with them for three years so getting used to the family living atmosphere will be hard. I have evolved mentally and physically into the person I am today because I headed to university. More maturity, sass and tattoos and I came with an aim to leave being an allrounder and I achieved this in my career path and adult life. 1st year was intense, a lot of crying and going through the element of drunk that you would undertake when you are fifteen and drinking for the first time. However, I was eighteen and inexperienced. Stayed a lot around Caitlin's and ate her vegan cheese and trips down to the sidings for parties and hair cuts (Mum, lilly is not a qualified hairdresser. I lied to you, she just watched a youtube channel and uses blunt kitchen scissors). 2nd year contained additional comfort in terms of friends and experiences but I felt as though I elevated into adulthood with having to pay bills and trying not to get murdered by that porcelain doll in the attic. In terms of artistry, releasing my first single and going on tour with the lads was amazing and making a cooking video of a shit pie and laughing during the playback was memorable. I also comprehend my love for a glass (or bottle) of pinot. 3rd year even though it was cut short cemented to me that my future was and still is bright and that whatever happens, happens for a reason and just to focus on myself. Truly grateful to have captained netball and Bottle Match, getting that 100th goal made me so emotional, I was literally going to cry right then and there. I have loved every minute of university with all its ups and downs and would not change a second of it. To all my friends, I fucking love you all. This experience has been stunning because of all of you and I'm so grateful to everyone who has impacted my life. As I now sit on my bed and absorb the surroundings of my bare looking room, I am really going to miss this place, the people, venues and that kinder bueno shot. (I love you Joe). Goodbye for now Falmouth.
