Student accomodation

0 Comments
I have been ridiculously busy (for me) this month and it's just the start of my birthday week! Most of my time has been taken up with looking and applying for student accommodation. 
I have firmly accepted an unconditional offer to study Media and Communications at Leicester University and this time I'm going to be fully prepared before starting. I've done halls, sharing a cramped kitchen with 6 other people, where the walls are thin and rooms are cold and there isn't a work service that's not splattered in the remains of a pasta experiment abomination. It wasn't the best, putting it lightly. I mean the people were great, honestly amazing, lovely, vibrant people who had good hearts but not necessarily good cleaning or cooking skills. So now I get the luxury of choosing a better place for me in advance. 
I decided a studio flat would be the best option mostly because a one bed flat would leave me eating lettuce leaves and scraps from dumpsters in order to pay for it, so the cheaper alternative (although it's still expensive) is a studio flat. 
Firstly, it makes me feel like an adult as I have a contract and lease and everything. Also I can pretend I'm living in a movie where everything happens in one room, like 'the room'...actually scratch that.
Secondly, I can cook whatever, whenever I like. I can have a stew, pasta bake, rissoto and microwave meal all on the go at once if it so pleases me. The smell might make me hungry at 2am but at least I won't have to share my cheesy carb fest with drunk students. 
Thirdly, I can basically make breakfast and a cup of tea in bed whilst watching repeats on dave. I don't need hover boards, I'm already living in the future. 
Lastly, I can put the heating on as much as I want! No more freezing with the duvet wrapped around me at 4pm on a wednesday. I will basically have control of the elements. And by that I mean the heating elements in my radiator. 

I know that studio flats aren't available or the best for everyone and I think halls are brilliant for people who want to make friends quickly and haven't been away from home before. The chats over tea the morning after are reassuring but I've got to be honest, it's nice to rest easy knowing no-one will ever steal my precious nutella.

Take care
