University

I know a lot of people either plan to go to uni, do go or wonder about it. I've had people ask me about my course once or twice and recently I've really started to love it. I just thought it'd be cool to talk about something that plays such a large role in my life.

For anybody that doesn't know, I study Mental Health Nursing. I started my course this September and I'll be honest in admitting that I only recently settled into a group of friends. 
I will be the first to admit at some points uni felt really rubbish because I'm shy and I suck with new people and so I ate my lunch alone a lot of the time. I was too scared to talk to anybody and when I did I tried too hard. I finally settled into a nice group of people that find me quite funny which is great. 

I really enjoy the course and I actually do enjoy the journey to uni, even though it means having to get up at 6am a lot. A lot of people that I know attend the same uni as me which is pretty cool, although I don't see them much due to differing schedules and the size of the uni. The uni has a really good library and a lot of my lecturers are really funny and nice...in fact one of my lecturers actually does stand up comedy...which I have to say is very cool. 

My course can be really demanding with the workload...it is very exhausting at times but it is so worth it. I do envy others that don't have to do as much work as me...but you can't choose what you're passionate about. I really want to make a difference in the mental health field...I want to help people and make their lives easier. I really want to make a difference...I want people to suffer as little as possible...it's not fair that people have to deal with a lot of this stuff alone. I hate that people get so hopeless and depressed that they feel that the only solution is to take their own life...people shouldn't have to feel that way. Among other problems such as anxiety and many other problems...I feel so passionate about people feeling bad...everyone deserves to be happy, to have the best life that they possibly can.

I start my first placement on Tuesday and I am very nervous but I'm also really excited. I hope that I can achieve my full potential and manage to strive in what I do. I am really looking forward to working with people and patients, it'll be a wonderful experience and I hope to gain skills from it and maybe even some friends.

I'm not quite sure what the purpose of this post is if I'm entirely honest. Helping people is one of the most fulfilling things that someone can do with their life...and if  that's where your passion lies...then go for it. I'm not sure what this accomplished or what it even really got across...but yeah just a little post I guess...I swear they will get better and more interesting.
