Myths about uni….

It’s all fun and games. Yeah the first 2 weeks are MENTAL. You go out 6/7 days and eat your weight in pizza and probably blow 40% of your student loan (if you’re lucky enough to get one on new clothes, alcohol and food (so basically all the essentials)). But after that it gets serious. They actually make you do work. Like, what?

You’ll meet hundreds of people and make so many new friends. Okay, so you do meet a fair amount of people, let’s say you interact with a good 1000 new people in freshers, probably interact with a solid 10 people’s tonsils too, but you’ll settle on a stable group of about 7 people who you'll do EVERYTHING with. Meet your UNI BFFLS.

The work is so different from school. Actually, this ones kinda true. But it’s not a universe away, more like a world. There’s a focus this time, but I mean you're MENTAL if you don’t love learning. Enjoy it. You’ll have to adult soon. *shivers* EW.

You'll meet the love of your life at uni. You might, but you probably won’t. ALWAYS the pessimist me J You’re more likely to meet Lady GaGa than your dream man/woman, so maybe just chill. Also don’t be so serious, why is everyone so eager to grow old.

I can’t wait to buy all my own stuff. Shopping for mundane things, like milk or shampoo or toilet roll are NOT fun. Let me tell you. It’s boring. Where’s my mum? She never taught me how to adequately function as a human being without her so H E L P.

So what uni myths are floating round these days?

Can’t believe I'm actually in second year already.

All I know is that it’s all going too fast. So please don’t waste your uni experience. Have fun. Do things. New things. Be you. Flourish!

Until next time, remember I've said it so it must be true....

The Box....

So obviously what do we do when we get bored? G O  O U T.

So Jess and I decided to meet with our friend G. We thought this would be fun because we've been planning on all going out together and chatting for a long time. So finally, after exams and work and everything we found a day that suited us all. On Monday 8th June, all 3 of us went to The London Cocktail Club just outside of Oxford Circus. 

It was fantastic, 2-4-1 on cocktails, we were in H E A V E N.  A lot of good conversation, and alcohol makes for a wonderful afternoon. After drinking £120 worth of alcohol we decided we'd quite like to carry on, we text the manager of The Box and we're delighted to find out that Monday was the first time ever the venue was opening on a Monday.

We made our way home, Jess and I we're feeling the need for food, so take out Nandos (cheeky) and Wagamama it was. Chicken burger for me, and a tofu salad for the vegan. Spontaneously I decided I needed to have garlic bread with cheese, so I went to Frankie and Benny's. Whilst there the manager, being an absolute saint, informed me that take out alcohol was a real thing. So 4 piña coladas in coffee cups later I was on my way home to get dressed.

G, Jess and I. #liftselfie

Slipping on a black dress, fixing my red lipstick and putting on real heels, not boots, we we're all ready to go. We got an Uber taxi there, the life of classy London student, and we were greeted at the venue by the manager. He sat with us, chatted, told us about the night and other shows they have, and got us some amazing drinks. He was an absolute little gem.

Us three girls were having a blast, the live singer was I N C R E D I B L E. She sang like one of the women from Hercules who sings all through the movie, she was sassy and sang some absolute T U N E S.

Gaga at The Box

So later we were dancing and what international sensation should walk through the doors? L A D Y G A G A! So yes, we did bump and grind with Gaga. It was F A B. She looked amazing, she danced on the dance floor without security around her and everyone had a blast! So yes, The Box is an amazing venue. No everyone won't have the same treatment as us, but I do think everyone will find something they love there!

So if you enjoyed reading that, share it, like it, tweet about.

Also follow me on twitter and instagram because I'm pretty fabulous, @chantelle_kiran.

Until next time, remember rats and horses cant vomit. I've said it so it must be true....
