UNIVERSITY UPDATE: It's time to appreciate the little things...

First of all, SO sorry for such a gap between my last blog post, I've been a tad caught up with university.

It's mad I tell you, absolutely mad.

But...I love it.

The last 11 or so weeks have been so unpredictable, spontaneous, but that's what makes university life so much fun.

Doing a journalism degree adds to that, as the stories you write lead you to do things you'd never think could be done.

Just the other day, I went to two banks to do interviews on the chancellor's new postgraduate loan system for 2016 in the morning, and I had to write a 400 word story in half an hour before catching a train home.

The stress was unreal, but when I gave arrived home after a 4 hour journey on the trains, the amount of pressure that lifted off my shoulders after finishing all my assignments was awesome.

It helps when Lincoln's a lovely place too.

But I'm home now, and it's time to appreciate the smallest of things which seem to be impossible to enjoy at university.

Words can't explain how much I'm looking forward to watching the Christmas football games with my parents.

Just relaxing, no assignments, no work, just enjoying it.

Even going to the fridge or pantry and taking food just because you can and not having to worry how much of your budget your sacrificing to fill your belly.

After being at university for 11 weeks, you'd never think how it changes your perspective on such things, but it does, a lot.

It also makes you look forward to the future, when you're making your own money, when you're saving to buy a house or a really, really fast car... you know what I mean?

I'm going to enjoy my holidays now, but I'll keep blogging on sports during the winter, so keep checking back or register your email!
