I've been blogging on and off for quite a while now (maybe even 4 or 5 years?) but I feel like this week is the most appropriate time to start a new proper blog, which will hopefully be my blog of new adventures now that i've finished university and setting out on new and exciting things.
I used to love keeping a blog of all the meet ups, events, memorable quotes and pictures of things going on in my life and I still get a little emotional looking back on some of my old posts over on my other blog. It's so great to look back on exactly that day a year, 2 or even over 3 years ago and realise what you were doing at that time and how much things have changed. So, I really wanted to bring this back and start a new more regular blog again. I love having posts to look back on and remember the great memories!
I hope you enjoy my blog. I'll start my first post by looking back over the past last weekend of partying in Leeds...
Last Thursday I went back to Leeds for the last few nights out ever of university life. We started off the weekend with a bottle of wine ...or 3, homemade vodka and many more drinks to celebrate Hope's birthday on Call Lane. It was so great to get back on Call Lane for possibly the last ever time as its been such a big part of my year this year. Obviously people that know me know that i've fallen completely in love with all the bars and calibre of professional male talent! It's been the location of dates, nights out and lots of wine and dancing so it was perfect to give Jakes one last whirl.
Then Friday night to save ourselves for summer ball we had a quieter night in round at Vicky's house eating delicious food and playing a hilarious few rounds of Pictionary. Lovely, lovely.
And finally, Saturday was the climax to the final weekend of partying! We kicked off the drinking at a very student version of a Jubilee street party, drinking on a street full of high students casually dancing along to royally reggae music(?!) and watching some unusual behaviour behind a skip. But met a hilarious man called Alan. ALAN... ALAN? and then nipped off to get all glammed up for the ball.
The ball was incredible. I'm a hugeee fan of people getting dressed up, especially all the lads in their suits. We drank at Cats to kick it all off and drank lots of champers and took some lovely pics. Then hit the ball for one last night out as a group of us at uni. It was difficult to not get emotional at the prospect of it being the last big student night out, but we definitely hit it hard. We stayed out partying away til 6am, raving to a set from Greg James, an incredible performance from Labriynth and then an amazing dj set by Mistajam. There was lots of wine, drinks, hilarious dance moves and laughs. I genuinely loved spending the last few hours just going hard, not having a care and dancing our feet off especially with the two girls i've spent the past 3 years with. If you are reading, thank you to everyone involved across the whole weekend. You all know who you are.
And thank you to everyone who's been a big part of my whole uni experience. I've genuinely had the time of my life. I look back at how I was before uni and its been an incredible journey and changed me so much for the better. Theres been absolutely hilarious and amazing memories and also tears, drama and awful memories which have helped me to learn major life lessons that i'm also really greatful for. I know I haven't picked up the most academic or prestigious degree title... (possibly maybe the least academic and prestigious infact.) but i've met and become friends with absolutely amazing people that have become almost like brothers and sisters to me in the past 3 years and hopefully we'll still all meet up from time to time to go on more adventures and have many more memories together. It's so exciting to find out how everyone else's lives will turn out beyond uni too.
So i'll end my first post here, before I get too soppy and overly emotional and sentimental about the end of university. And here's to the start of a new adventure.
Lots of end of uni love,
Becca xx
