For anyone planning to enter the world of University who has yet to take the leap let me just say once more, DO NOT BE AFRAID!
Tonight I felt really down and to be honest I felt like crawling into bed, hiding under the blankets and getting the first train home. One message to my uni friend, Craig, however, was the best decision I had made all day. Round in an instant he soothed my problems at the same time as taking the 'tough love' approach as he likes to call it. After putting a bunch of stuff in perspective I felt much better. Then there came a knock on the door and to my surprise it was Cassie. Having seen my waiting in my PJs on the stairs for Craig to arrive, Cassie had brought down a tray of biscuits and hot chocolate for us. It was so adorable!
After Craig left I went up to talk with her and we had a lovely chat about everything that was going on. I realised, in the last month or so, that next year I am really going to miss living with Cassie. Despite not being the person I was closest to in the beginning of semester one I now consider her one of my closest friends. Before she had walked in Craig had tried to cheer me up, saying, 'You know that your flat is one of the only ones that has lasted the eight months without problems ' Reflecting on this I discovered he was right, despite the ups and downs we have inevitably gone through I realised that we had gone through them and come out on top as a singular entity. We are a family, and the fact that I will only be living with Emma out of all the people in the flat next year makes me sad. I wish we were all living together, but now Cassie and Laura both say they may move back in year three and so I am hopeful that we will all be back together soon!
So although I am sure she won't be reading this, thank you Cassie, I felt lower than I had felt for a long time this evening but thanks to you and Craig I was brought back to reality and reminded what absolutely fabulous friends I have. So readers, if there are any, remember that friendships may not be evident from the first moment but give them time and they will grow and sometimes those you wait for are the most wonderful. Amyx
