So I’ve had the last lesson, last exam and last late night
revision session at college. No more waiting for that lift that only seems to
set off half of the time, no more frantic searching for my ID lanyard before
walking through the door and no more ham, cheese and pizza sauce paninis.
The last two years at college have been amazing and have gone so quickly. I’ve met
loads of amazing people who I very much hope to stay in touch with in the
future. The teachers are brilliant and I’ve been studying subjects that I’m
interested in. I couldn’t really ask for anything more.
Don’t get me wrong, A Levels have been difficult but that
was only to be expected. If the jump from GCSE to AS Level didn’t catch me by
surprise the jump from AS Level to A2 level definitely did. If that wasn’t
enough I’ve had to battle with a coursework project of over 21,000 words with 3
pages for the table of contents alone and the removal of January exams meant
that all my exams were in May/June. However, it is all done and it rests in the
hands of the markers with me waiting nearly two months for results day. I feel
like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I can finally go for
random walks and generally potter about without feeling guilty about not
revising.
I am going to miss college after having such a good time but
I am looking forward to the rest that these summer holidays will provide before
setting off to university, something I am also very much looking forward to. I
am confident that I will have an amazing time at university, wherever that may
be, meeting new people, forming
new friendships and studying what I am most passionate about, Chemistry. I also cannot hide the fact that I am very excited for
Freshers’ week.
Going to university will be my first experience of freedom.
I won’t have to report all my whereabouts or explain that I’m going to be home
very late to my parents again… well, until I come back home in the holidays
anyway. Again, leaving home will be sad in a way but I am very excited
nonetheless.
The summer for me holds lots of resting, a holiday abroad
and a weekend at a music festival. I am stupidly excited about that! I’m hoping
this will be the best summer I’ve had yet.
Knowing me, I’ll probably still find myself going to college
for one thing or another, I usually do in the holidays.
