Hi guys! Im sure you've realised by now that I will be taking the momentous step up into university life later this year! I am SO EXCITED but also extremely scared... Thinking about it makes me even more apprehensive to go, and with two of my seven exams done, it's becoming too real...

I know some of you will be in the exact same position as me at this point in time, and to you, I say GOOD LUCK!!!! But, as I've gotten more nervous, I've wanted to express my feelings somehow...

So...

I've written a poem about university and what I think it's going to be like (yah, i know, im dumb, don't judge me)

Please read on (if you want) to experience my feelings and duscuss uni life with me, I'll be happy to offer encouragement to those as timid as myself 😊

The world unknown

I

see the open passages,
The air that rushes through,
My heart a'burst; my thoughts a curse,
The school? An ocean blue.

My classmates bump and jostle me,
My elbows thick and stiff,
My head is taught with fear and dread
Like falling from a cliff.

Uneven lines do crack and bend,
The paths I fear to cross,
The fields of knowledge usher me;
The home that bricks will surely be
Stick fast like trees with moss.

The leather pouch it withers thin,
And coin I fear to lose,
The cost of living frightens me
A nightmare life will surely be,
And debt will cause a bruise.

Freinds are rife as birds or cats
And foes are also sure,
But oh! I wish that I was home
Upon my purple moor.

My skin will pale, perhaps I'll ail?
If I forget to eat,
My frends will smile but all the while,
The truth is at my feet.

My subject chose, I'll conquer those,

I'll challenge what I've heard
I

ll fight and scrape I'll sweat I'll ache
And treasure every word.

Before all this, what I think is,
A treasure of its own,
The holiday that drips away
Just me. myself. Alone...

And when, at last, the day draws near
When I recieve my grade,
My heart pounds loudly like a drill
My digits twitch and flick at will
My future lies afraid.

But now i see, my head hates me,
My sullen demons rise,
Although my future lies in wait,
It's looming like a pearly gate,
It lives in me and cries.

So fear the present, fear the past,
And fear what's yet to come
Your independence hurries near
and pounds through, like a drum.

I don't supress my queasiness,
I tolerate the drone
And though, it's not that bad at all...
I fear the world unknown

Oh my god... that was possibly the cringiest thing ive ever written in my life. Please don't hate me 😅

If anyone wants to share any fears about university, seriously, talk to me, were all in the same proverbial boat.
