New Starts: I’m Going to University

September 18, 2011

Yep, next week I’ll be going to a university in Nottingham to pursue my dream career, or at least attempt to. I don’t talk about this kind of stuff on Twitter because I don’t want people to know every aspect of my life in and out. Anyway, if you really wanted to know why I’ve been talking about moving and money for the past month, then you probably asked me and I told you in private. 

I’ve decided to announce this because so many people are asking questions, and I feel that it’s easier to give you the honest answer rather than leave you in the dark. Overall, I am looking forward to going, but at the same time I’m pretty nervous; making new friends is hard, and probably the hardest part of joining anything new. I like to entertain the fact that I’m a damn nice guy, and I think this will work to my advantage at university. 

One of the main killers is the financial side, and it’s what’s really been annoying me recently. Not only will I be in horrific debt, but I will be getting little to no support money from my family; they seem to expect me to live the lifestyle of a tramp, probably because of my recent extravagant spending habits. No, my family aren’t strapped for cash; in fact, I would say the situation is the exact opposite, but I’m still having to fend for myself. I find this situation upsetting not because I’m not getting money for nothing (I hate getting money I haven’t worked for - ‘handouts’), but because the attitude that a certain family member has toward me is making me feel thoroughly unloved. I’m the type of person who needs to be taught things the easy way, not the hard way, and I resent the conflict of interests in this situation. 

But hey, I love a fresh new start, and I love meeting new people, so I think I’ll have a great time when I’m up there. Of course, I’ll still be getting posts up on this website; clubbing and raving really isn’t my thing. The amount of support I get from my fans is truly flattering, and some of the people I’ve met through blogging, YouTube, and Twitter feel like my closest friends, even though I’ve never met you. I thank you all for that, and in return I shall share my experiences with you even more.
