Essentially, it means you\u2019re about to start your first year of university and adulthood is dangerously around the corner. If you\u2019re about to be a fresher, you\u2019ll definitely relate to these. Here are 10 signs you&#8217;re about to be a fresher!!<\/p>\n<h2>1. You\u2019ve become an expert in interior decor<\/h2>\n<p>You have at least 3 Pinterest boards all dedicated to your future dorm room, full of cozy blankets, fairy lights and numerous pillows. There\u2019s some colour scheme going on that no one is allowed to mess with and you\u2019ve probably watched a dozen of DIY videos to make your room look more tumblr like.<\/p>\n<h2>2. You now have a thousand new friends<\/h2>\n<p>Between Facebook groups, Snapchat and Instagram, you now have a thousand of new friends and are constantly being bombarded with notifications. While it may be a bit overwhelming, uni is the ideal time to meet new people and make friends for life, so embrace it!<\/p>\n<h2>3. You\u2019re suddenly considering doing things you never though you would<\/h2>\n<p>Not the most sporty person but considering waking up at 6 am everyday to go to the gym at uni? Yeah, that\u2019s not happening.<\/p>\n<h2>4. You can\u2019t wait for Fresher\u2019s Week<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably already chosen a few events you want to attend and prepared cute outfits for each of them. You&#8217;re ready to just arrive, settle in and have a great time!<\/p>\n<h2>5. You\u2019ve been shopping\/packing for what it feels like ages<\/h2>\n<p>Despite shopping all summer long, you still have a list of things you need to buy and bags still unpacked.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>6. It seems like everyone only wants to talk about uni now<\/h2>\n<p>Ever since you got accepted it seems like everyone and their mother wants to ask you how you\u2019re feeling about uni and give you their precious advice. Just try to be nice and don\u2019t yawn too loudly when your postman dives into a monologue on how university was the best time of his life.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Flatmates<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re in a catered or self-catered accommodation, you\u2019ll probably have to share your home with other people. Which means you have your fingers crossed that they are nice people who respect your nap time and don\u2019t blast Drake at 2 am (#NotCool).<\/p>\n<h2>8. You suddenly have way too much responsibilities and are still learning how to deal with them<\/h2>\n<p>Remember what I said about adulthood? University isn\u2019t just about Fresher\u2019s Week and going to lectures. You\u2019re now the main responsible for yourself, which means you need to take care of a lot of things before uni, such as bank accounts, deposits, and vaccines.<\/p>\n<h2>9. You\u2019re feeling nostalgic about leaving home already<\/h2>\n<p>Suddenly, you start noticing all the little details about your home town and appreciating it in a way you never did before. You&#8217;re feeling a bit nostalgic and trying to make the most of the time you spend with your friends and family. Also, your parents may start hugging you a bit tighter and saying how grown up you are more often.<\/p>\n<h2>10. You\u2019re eager, but also dreading university<\/h2>\n<p>Despite everything, university is a big change. A new chapter of your life is beginning and everything will be different now. It\u2019s perfectly understandable to be a bit scared, just don\u2019t let it hold you back. After all, these will be the best years of your life!<\/p>\n<h5>Do you have any other signs you&#8217;re about to be a fresher!?
