I have had my ups and downs, I have hated uni, I've wanted to leave, I have met some dreadful people who I will hopefully never see again (and for those on my course I intend to avoid them at graduation as well). However it has also been amazing, I've made a new best friend who I can trust, love and annoy.
I have had some amazing and weird nights out, I am proud to be pink. I've grown as a person, I've learnt so much more than the three levels of product or how to manage a brand.
People might slag NTU off, because its a 'polytechnic' but in a few years I've gone from a girl who lost her confidence and her spirit, who had so little belief in herself and wasn't even planning on doing A-Levels let alone a degree. Yet here I am, I've completed my degree, I get my results in a week and graduate in almost a month. Its crazy thinking back to buying stuff for uni or going to my welcome week and being told about graduation and what to expect over the next 3 years.
I remember being full of all these ideas about all the different societies I'd join and how much I'd do over the 3 years and how long away it all felt. I still remember going to NTU for open days being like this is my place, this is where I want to study but I did so much more than study for me NTU was an adventure.
I'm not pro-uni but if you're considering it and its the right choice for you (i.e. career wise) then go for it and do not hold back it is an experience that you will treasure and look back on and be amazed. I will admit I remember thinking 'Can I go back to A-Levels again?' but I don't think I'd of changed it for the world. If I had done a placement year I wouldn't have met my best friend. If I had gone to a different uni I may not have joined a society like burlesque. Everything at NTU happened for a reason and admittedly even the not so enjoyable stuff or people taught me something.
So here's to NTU and 3 astounding years that I will always treasure.
