Well guys, girls and non-binary folk. It is officially 62 days until another Fresher's week. A week dedicated to young Freshlings who awkwardly wonder around the campus, drink far too much and struggle with the basic element of cooking.
I remember when I was a Freshling all of those years ago (September 2014). Back in my day , there was sticky floors, my best friend being conked on the head by my other best friend, a trip to Liquid and Envy where a fight broke out whilst we were drinking WKDs and a singalong of the Pokémon Theme Tune on 13teen.
In some ways, things haven't changed. The Fleshlings are still tagging each other in nights out. We still have to remind the students that they need to eat decent food and actually rest their livers and the marketing materials still say that it will be the best week of their lives. I personally think that Fresher's is like a fine wine, it gets better with age and experience.
Now I'm going to be paid to pass on my experience which in itself is a pretty crazy thought. What's even crazier is that I had to google the headline act (yes I'm rubbish at keeping up to date with the charts. Don't judge me) or the fact that they are leaving me to tell the whole of ADH about DSU. It's pretty insane to think of, although it's not QUITE as insane as my future paycheque.
If you are a Freshling, you might find that a certain little cherub's face is on your welcome document. Yes, the SU have officially upgraded me from 'noseless nutter in the book' to adorable princess who will be in the book and the Fresher's Branding. Now all we need is for the princess to actually maintain some form of concentration and she might actually be a super model (saying that, my focus has really gone down the pan since my MA. So I don't think that's going to happen soon).
I honestly cannot wait to welcome all of you all to this year's #Freshfest18. I think this year's might be the best one yet.
Until the next entry,
Toodle pips.
