What I’ve learned in my first semester of Uni 🤷♀️🎱☕
So, time for a life update: morning classes suck, kale smoothies are a great pick-me-up, hall food is actually pretty good and flatmates are awesome. University is definitely easier than high school for anyone wondering. I didn't actually believe that it was true...
