It has almost been a week since my last exam for the year, which means I survived my first year at uni! Yay! And to all of you who have completed your first year or second year, or even your entire course or if you completed high school these past few weeks, a big congratulations for all of us, because it is finally holidays and it is "Our Time".
As soon as the exam ended, a couple of my friends and I bought a tub of the very much loved 'Ben and Jerry's' ice-cream (chocolate fudge brownie flavour- delicious) and spent the remainder of the afternoon in our favourite place on campus and just ate this food from heaven while freedom began to sink in. No more worries about studies, essays, assignments, folios, exams and whatever else that homework entails. Yes, I've spent the majority of the week working, but I don't have the extra stress that often comes alongside uni. And on reflection, this year has been one of the best years of my life: making new and amazing friends, as well as catching up with my wonderful friends from school too; actually studying things that I am interested in; being on a lovely campus and realising that uni is so much better than high school (I can't even emphasis how much better it is). Certainly there were many ups and downs along the way, like the self-inflicted last minute essay writing among many other things, but as a whole, I can look back and say that I loved this year so much. I'm beginning to make it sound like a speech that should be said at the end of the actual year, but I've never had a good sense of time (New Years Eve is only a month and half away anyway, so... close enough).
"Our Time" by Lily Allen is from her latest album which came out May this year, and I think it perfectly sums up how many of us feel now that it's holidays. It's probably my favourite song on the album 'Sheezus', which I love to sway and dance along to and "lose sense of space and time..."
