Ensuring we gave ourselves some time to chill and enjoy Plymouth we came back and had what we termed "a week of fun" - which is a week I will forever remember. I really do urge you to do the same and have fun and a bit of closure with your uni town and university friends.
Our week of fun and things I have enjoyed doing in my four years at Plymouth:
- chilling on the hoe with my friends, having a picnic, eating fish and chips and roasting marshmallows - as soon as the sun is out the hoe is the place to be
- walking to the hoe and barbican in all kinds of weathers (it is Plymouth after all)
- listening to live music at the barbican
- having a house sleepover
- dancing to our hearts content in the cheese room in oceana
- visiting Penny Well farm (not Plymouth I know but was a highlight!)
- nights in with my my amazing friends
- melting chocolate with rice crispies
- dancing on cuba bar despite being a third year
- drinking wine at the hoe on rocks by the sea
- indian meals - Ghanges and Ghurka/ Curry Corner
- getting involved with many projects and university services
- going to the beach for the day and freezing to death in the sea, whilst almost killing ourselves climbing up and down what felt like a cliff edge
- starting up the amazing Student Minds society
- first year nights out in C1Os (+ the party bus)
- making up dances and playing just dance (your never to old!)
- going to the yearly fireworks
- pre drinks and house parties
- managing to sleep with 3 people in a single bed
- cutting down a tree in the garden all day with a rusty bread knife
- swimming in the lido until we turned blue
I have had the best four years and seriously the good times have far outweighed my struggles.
sounds like you have had a amazing time, I have always wanted to be by the sea!!! xox
ReplyDeleteThanks Emma - I really did. Uni is hard but I had the best time when I actually reflect on it all! Its lush living by the sea - not as great when the weather is rubbish though!xxx
