Driving Home For Christmas...
Where have the last twelve weeks gone? All my assignments
have been submitted so I can finally breath without panic and enjoy the
holidays. Before you go to university, everyone tells you that living in halls
is great; you will meet amazing people, develop a fab social life etc. They are
not wrong. Cheney halls has an amazing social atmosphere, and even if you are
not a party animal you are bound to meet people that live in or around your halls
through society’s and on your course.

| Getting ready in Cheney before Freshers Ball |
Life in halls at Brookes is pretty great. This is my second
time around living in halls and I’m really impressed by the standard Brookes
has set. I live in the Postgraduate/mature student block, and I don’t have to
worry about a thing. Cheney Student Village is only 5 minutes from JHB, which
is great for days when you have slightly overslept as you can still easily make
the lecture. The launderette is not even 30 seconds from my front door and there
is a common room just round the corner. Though a word of advice for all you
prospective students learn how to use a washing machine before you come! So far
I’ve taught 6 very embarrassed, very confused freshers.
Packing up my belongings I need for Christmas I can’t help
but feel blue at leaving Brookes, even if it is only till the end of January. I
love my life here, and I don’t doubt that I will find a reason or two to pop
back and visit over the holiday. I have become so used to laughing with my
housemates over breakfast at our hangovers and drunken antics, then sharing a
bottle of wine over dinner; because you know that’s a cure for the headache!
Have a great Christmas!
