Maybe I'm the only person in the world to say that, but it's kinda true - I'm all for socialising - it's just socialising for around £6 a day that's a problem.
Student loans just aren't enough. I actually picked a student bank account with quite a small overdraft, that thinking now, I'll probably have to extend, but i got a free railcard so that's cool I guess. Seriously, go for the biggest ove...

I'm an idiot! Applied for a student loan a few days ago, and they said it won't be read until after I start. That would be fine - as my payments start after the first term, BUT there is a pre-payment. It's over a 1000 pounds. I'm not really sure how to raise that sort of cash in four weeks- and I don't really want to have a large over-draft before I even start :( am currently pleading with parents...

Well, two weeks today i will start my first day at university, although i'm slightly nervous, nothing ever really fazes me due to my laid back nature and i'm jus looking forward to getting started. I've just brought my tickets for freshers week, and although relativley cheap, i know once the drinks start flowing it certainly will not be a cheap week. But as a socialising addict i am very, very exc...

Even prior to actually getting there am I concerned about my financial predicaments! Thinking about whether my accomodation has accepted my opening sum of rent in time, the extras that come with that aspect of expenditures and then there's the thought of arriving there with my loans and grants yet to arrive in my bank account!
I'm sure I won't rant on as much as this in future blogs about mone...

The panic is setting in. There are only 9 days until I leave for University and I haven't begun any preparations yet. Why? Because I'm on holiday and have been abroad since the day after results. Nightmare. Don't get me wrong, I love abit of sunshine but the past week and a half have proved that now was not the ideal time to indulge in such things. I have received several emails from my Uni about ...

Ok, so i'm starting uni in under 3 weeks now and I think I'm starting to feel properly excited now. Getting the results and seeing my place confirmed on the UCAS website didn't really feel like it was really happening to me but now the accommodation is sorted and I'm starting to get things ready to take with me, it all feels official.
Of course with all of this come nerves. So I'm scared I won't ...

Exactly a month to go until I begin packing my life into old electronics boxes and move northward.
"I'm not really anxious, more excited" is has been an overused phrase of late, and one not entirely appropriate (if someone can find an adjective that fits neatly between the two please contact Oxford University Press to have it authenticated so I can use it over and over again every time...
