After the initial buzz of moving in and Freshers&#8217; Week, the reality of university life sets in. The highs of new friends, nights out, and exciting hobbies arrive alongside the lows of homesickness, deadlines, and hangovers! Your first term at university is an amazing time to have fun away from home, but everyone experiences wobbles along the way. It\u2019s important to know how to manage these when settling into university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meeting new people<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As soon as I moved to York, I was excited to meet as many people as possible. Everyone at university is open to meeting lots of new people, so it\u2019s a great chance to meet people you <\/span>perhaps <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">wouldn\u2019t have socialised with before. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lots of people worry about meeting their lifelong besties in Freshers&#8217; Week, but don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t find \u2018your crowd\u2019 immediately. Of the people I hung out with in Freshers&#8217; Week, one of them is now one of my best friends but I haven\u2019t spoken to some of the others since. Some of my closest friends at university I didn\u2019t meet until term two or three. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I love having a wide network of friends from different courses, societies and colleges. Getting out of your room and meeting people will help you overcome any homesickness, but equally don\u2019t stress if you don\u2019t find your BFFs immediately.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Trying new things<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I&#8217;d summarise my time at university with the phrase \u2018there simply isn\u2019t enough time in the day for everything\u2019. Arriving as a Fresher, I was keen to try as many new things and possible, and with <a href=\"https:\/\/yusu.org\/student-life\/clubs-and-socs\">200+ societies<\/a> there&#8217;s plenty to choose from. During Freshers\u2019 Week, I attended an event run by the student union Women\u2019s Network called \u2018Pizza and the Patriarchy&#8217; and I\u2019m now on their committee. Throwing yourself into student life is one of the best ways to settle in. You\u2019ll have great fun, meet new people and it can be a good (or bad) distraction from looming deadlines!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the best ways to get involved are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/work-volunteering-careers\/skills\/volunteer\/\">student volunteering projects<\/a>. I\u2019m part of the team who organise Free the Flow, a group seeking to eradicate period poverty on campus and reduce the stigma around menstruation. It\u2019s really valuable to give something back to the community, and will help you develop a lasting connection with York.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Managing wobbles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your first few weeks at university will inevitably have some wobbles, and you may get homesick at times. The most important thing is your mental wellbeing, so talk to your supervisor <\/span>\u2013<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> don\u2019t be afraid to ask for an extension on your work if you need one. I find the best way to tackle any homesickness is to keep yourself busy. For me, this involved attending every single Sunday Revs (one of the main clubs in York) during first term. This may not have made my bank balance feel so settled! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It may sound cheesy, but the memories of your first few months at university will stay with you forever. So whatever you like to fill your time with, make the most of the opportunities you\u2019ll have at York.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/category\/whats-uni-like\/settling-in\/\">settling into university<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve unpacked your room, met your flatmates, and now it\u2019s time to settle into university.
