Student Life (hasn't even begun yet)

I’ve been busy lately. I’ve had several letters regarding student finance, ‘fresher’s week’ and other such student related mayhem. I’ve also sent many letters of my own – it feels a little like I’ve spent my student loan on stamps.

I could go on and on in this post about how I feel top up fees are a betrayal by the government, but to be brutally honest I’m only back from the pub. It’s clear about what Labour did on top up fees. They said they’d never introduce them, and they did.

Tony Blair said government isn’t easy, and I presume it isn’t. However, he’s made student life not too easy either.

I’m still apprehensive about university. All the usual questions; will I make friends, will I fit in etc. I also think gay young people experience a number of other concerns – will I be ‘out’, will I make friends who understand, and will others hate me for being what I am.

I’m planning on being out – and forging a new life for myself away from my home and the concerns that come with it.

I may be leaving with several thousand pounds of debt, but maybe by being true to myself, this will be easier? The figures are still the same.

So yes, off to collapse into my beddie byes.
