It only took 3 suitcases, 2 boxes and a lot
of goodbyes but I made it! All summer, moving to Uni seemed like it wasn’t
really going to happen so I never gave it much thought. Then it crept up and
bit me... “SURPRISE!” I was very settled
with my job, my friends and my boyfriend so messing all that up to move to a
different country didn’t make sense...
I took a long way around to get into this course. I have recently just finished a 2 year LONG diploma in Business which was not something I had anticipated in my life plan and for an overly organised person that does not sit well! So to give up all that extra work and my keen interest in fashion didn’t make any sense either - Confused doesn’t even cover it!

D- Day arrived and I packed up my things
and headed off to Aberdeen. Emotions had been running high all week with the
pressure from packing and also leaving my loved ones. The nerves started to set in as I got closer to the airport
and not just because I am an anxious flier! This would be the first time I
stepped foot in Aberdeen so I had no idea where I was going or who I was going
to meet. My first encounter was a lovely taxi man who empathised with me
because he has two daughters that were away to university and he thought I was
very brave to take off on my own. The conversation settled me before landing at
Woolmanhill where I gathered my things from the car, said thanks to the nice taxi man -who
didn’t charge me the full fair-
and got ready to start
my new life.
Now after 4 weeks of living in Aberdeen I
am finally settled and so happy with the decision I made to come here. I was throwing
myself completely out of my comfort zone but for all the right reasons. I have
gotten to know my way around the city, made friends and found a part time job
(FINALLY!) so I feel there can only be more positives to come from this
adventure!
