Uni Prep

Dear readers,

So far, so slow...

In a few weeks, I will be on my way to uni and like I said, "so far, so slow." It has been physically difficult to pack. Personally, I think it has been so hard because I have to pack EVERYTHING! It is not like going on a mini break or a holiday where you need a couple of outfits and a phone charger, it is more like moving your whole life to a new city. 

For anyone else going through this 'upsetting' moment in their life where you literally have no idea where to start, I have recently read a few tips containing a list of things to pack, which I have found useful, that may also be useful to you. Listed below are items you may want to take with you to uni, they are grouped in sections so feel free to focus on the sections you are struggling to pack for.
