My Advice For University Freshers Week

It's so weird to think that my fresher's week was almost a year ago. Since it's A Level results day today I thought I'd share my amazing advice to anyone starting uni in September, if that's the path you've decided to go down. 

Mood the whole of freshers

Fresher's week alone is a university experience in itself. I'd say it was definitely one of the most exhausting but funniest weeks of my life. Here is my advice that I'd give myself if I was to do it all over again...


1. Meet as many people as possible- People say you don't even speak to half the people that you meet in freshers week again, but that doesn't matter. During freshers everyone is forming their cliques and it's just easier to make friends right from the start rather than midway through the year. 

No matter what you enjoy doing, you're gonna
 find people with the same hobbies as you

2. You don't have to drink to fit in- Personally, I am a drinker, but trust me I know people who don't go near alcohol. There are plenty of freshers societies to join that don't involve going out out as a way to meet new people.

Me trying to figure out which one of my friends
gave me that final shot that pushed me over the edge

3. It is exhausting- Going out partying, drinking, and not eating properly for a week solid can really mess with your system. It's one big blur that you can't remember, but never forget.


4. Freshers flu is no joke- At my uni it proper hit during the second week, after everyone was partied out. Definitely stock up on your fruit&veg and Beroccas to overcome it. 

Looking for my card after a night out when I could have 
sworn it was in my purse

5. NEVER take your card with you on a night out- For the love of God just don't do it! If you're anything like me you'll take it "just for emergencies" and then the emergency ends up being "OMG I need another jagerbomb"...then you end up being horrendously into your overdraft. That's considering all things go well and you don't lose it first. 

 As it's results day today for A Level students, I hope you've all got the grades you wanted. And if not, speaking from experience, everything still manages to work out for the best somehow! 

The song of the day is I Wanna Go by Britney Spears. Are you going to be partaking in Freshers 2018? If so let me know your plans in the comments,

My Channel Summary: June

It seems to have been a while since I mentioned on my blog that I also make YouTube videos. If you're interested please feel free to click on that tab on the top of my page to be directed to the worst content on YouTube ;)

But anyway, I wanted to share what I've posted in June since for the first time in a while I'm feeling pretty happy with my content. I went through a bit of a phase where I didn't feel confident with the content I was producing and wasn't sure what direction I was going in, and it almost felt like I was posting things for the sake of it.

Recently however, I've been making content that I genuinely enjoy filming, and about topics that I'm passionate about. I feel like that's starting to come across in my videos too and I'm having a lot more fun with what I'm producing. 

So here's what you may have missed on my channel throughout June:


The University Tag

It feels so strange to say this, but I have officially finished my first year at university. Time really does fly when you're having fun. And to remember my wonderful first year I decided to film a final university video.



5 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True

THIS video is one that I was particularly happy with. In case you didn't know, I'm a conspiracy theory junkie, I seriously can't get enough of them. And since I have so much fun researching them, I decided to start my own series on my channel.



June Favourites 2018

I love filming favourites videos, you might say they're actually my favourites to film (if you'll pardon the pun). This is a classic Izzy K monthly favourites with lot's of lip syncing of course!



Turning My Sister Into Me

This video was one of the funniest videos I've filmed for a while. Well, you might not think so because me and my sister have the worst sense of humor, but we literally had so much fun filming this.

So that's what you may have missed on my channel throughout June. The song of the day is Can I Have This Dance from High School Musical 3. Yes, I'm mature! Thanks for reading/ watching,
