If you could go back\u2026what advice would you give to yourself at the start of your first year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to talk to many people, most of them are also looking for friends.<\/p>\n

What is your best student hack?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Start assignments early and do about an hour of them a day, you\u2019ll be done on time and it\u2019ll be a lot less stressful.<\/p>\n

Favourite meal to share with friends?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fresh meal deals!<\/p>\n

What caf\u00e9, restaurant or place in town is your favourite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love Nando\u2019s, it\u2019s probably my favourite place in England.<\/p>\n

What is your hidden gem in Bath?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Virgil Building is a great place to do work and its always fairly quiet and empty.<\/p>\n

What do you do to unwind?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crochet! I like making clothes and plushies.<\/p>\n

How do you like to spend your time with friends?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like walking around the city with them.<\/p>\n

What is your best money saving tip?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meal prep so you don\u2019t spend much money on food.<\/p>\n

Who or what picks you up when you are down?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My friends and boyfriend always help me feel better.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your worst habit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I always say I\u2019m not hungry but end up stealing my boyfriend\u2019s food.<\/p>\n

What helps you focus or be productive?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I use a Pomodoro timer when I\u2019m studying.<\/p>\n

Best place to go for some fresh air?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definitely the lake on campus.<\/p>\n

What couldn\u2019t you live without?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All my loved ones, my life just wouldn\u2019t be the same without them.<\/p>\n

What is your favourite song and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It changes quite a bit, but right now its Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan, I just think it\u2019s very catchy and has an interesting story behind it.<\/p>\n

Best piece of advice you have been given?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That worst case scenario you\u2019ve made up in your head is most definitely not going to happen.<\/p>\n
