The end of A-Levels are in sight!

When I began this blog in September I said I was dreading leaving school, but as the year has gone on my feelings have changed slightly. While of course I'll still find it sad leaving a school where I have spent much of the previous seven years, I think I'm ready to move on and start afresh at university and I'm really starting to look forward to it. There are scary things too of course: what if I don't find any friends that like musicals? What if I can't fit all my clothes in my wardrobe? What if the workload is too much? But all these doubts are purely 'what if's and it's completely normal to feel anxious about moving away from home, so I'm sure everything will sort itself out and I'll enjoy myself once I get there.

What's strange for me personally is that a lot of my friends are not starting university at the same time as me. A lot of them are taking gap years and starting a year later, some haven't even got that far. In a way this is maybe a good thing - I won't know anyone at the uni I'm going to so I can be completely myself, not what people expect me to be. On the other hand, I won't be able to chat to my old friends about their experiences and how they're finding it, so I'll have to cope with that on my own.

So my feelings are a bit of a mixed bag at the moment. For now, I'm going to try not to get too ahead of myself and overthink things (something I seem to do a lot), and instead focus on passing my exams and enjoying the time I have left at home.
