My top 3 memories at UOB so far!

Wow, it’s so hard to pick only three!

Since coming to university I have had so many new experiences and great memories all while meeting lots of new, lovely people to share these memories with!

I think one of my favourite memories since being at university is definitely when it snowed! Being on accommodation in The Vale, there is much open land with this beautiful greenery being turned white when the snow fell in the December of my first year at university! Me and my flatmates decided to take advantage of the weather and make a snowman! It was a really fun, wholesome activity helping to strengthen even further the bonds that we had made in the first few months of university! The snowman was just a warmup though as after we spent a good hour indulged in a snowball fight!! It was so much fun - I actually think it was the most fun I’ve ever had in the snow! This was the only day it snowed a substantial amount when I was at uni which made it extra special and almost magical in a way. The memory didn’t end there though as we returned back to the flat and we tucked into hot drinks in our cosy, warm clothes and chatted being a lovely ending to a wholesome day!

I think another one of my favourite memories is my first night out in Birmingham! Coming from a small town in the countryside, coming to a big city was daunting especially with it being a big step up in the nightlife. However, I was not disappointed at all! Freshers’ week was riddled with plenty of exciting events and opportunities proving to be the perfect opportunity to experience the Birmingham nightlife for the first time with it being a fun, exciting night and the first of many more through my time of study!

My final favourite memory is my first time at craft society! This society became such a staple and continuity throughout first and second year for me that I can’t help but look back at the memory of my first session and smile! The very first session that I attended for craft was using pressed flowers to decorate jars and it was such a calming and chilled atmosphere. It also really allowed me the chance to get to know one of my now closest friends better and to help cement our bond even further!
