So I have only been at
university a couple of weeks, but boyyyyy what a whirlwind. The day I moved back
in to halls I was promoting ‘Cheer’, un-packing and planning my night out all
at once. It was more hectic to say the least. But nevertheless, my first day
was so good (despite the stress of having to move from my house into a flat),
we all went out to our Student Union, and I got to see people that I hadn’t
seen all summer. The next morning we all went for our first big greasy fry up
of the year. FYI, Big Boyz café in New Eltham is just the best, and reasonably
priced too.
So in the two weeks following
that, it was fresher’s fortnight. The university really pulled it out of the
bag this year. They had things happening every day and night. Even if some of
it wasn’t to your taste, it felt like there was something else you could at the
same time. I made sure that I made full use of this fresher’s week as it’s my
last one. L I got as many
freebies from the fresher’s fairs as I could. Who is going to say no to free
alcohol and Nandos vouchers...? NOT ME! I also went to Thorpe Park with Alex
and Benji, (the boyfriend and the best friend). This again was with the
university and cost £15 for out park ticket and travels… BARGAIN! I had never
been to Thorpe Park before, and like to consider myself as quite the adrenaline
junkie, so I absolutely loved going on all the rides. That was on a Wednesday,
so it was only right to head back to campus, and get ready for Sparrows (the Student
Union).
At the fresher’s fairs, the
cheerleaders had to do a lot of promotion work to get the squad bigger for this
coming year. Over the two fairs, we managed to get a total of about 150
names…150!!!! Not all of them will come and most people we will never see
again, but at least that is another 150 people that know we exist. Two years
ago, no student at the university even knew we had a cheer squad, so getting
our selves more known is key. We also got to have a nosey at the other sports
teams and societies and see what was on offer this year.
Then following fresher’s fair
was the come down. L Back to university and all the hard work or third year
was about to begin. Not only university, but the cheerleaders have competition
on the 8th of December, so I need to crack on with the routine. I
have auditions for plays, reading every week for two courses and not to mention
all the work that will come with it. So when I started this blog and said my
first few weeks have been a whirlwind… I now think this whole year is going to
be one big TORNADO!
