"I wish I had gone to Uni"

Your friends have left, your boyfriend has left, your girlfriend has left, people are being tagged in pictures on facebook of freshers' week left, right and centre. Everyone you know and love is off 200 miles away meeting new people, being introduced to their future spouse, getting drunk, partying and using lots of condoms and you're at home with your pet syrian hamster wondering "what on earth was I thinking when I decided not to go to university?!"
I'm here to tell you that that feeling is normal, and I guarantee 90% of people who actively decided not to go to uni feel the same. I certainly do.
All my friends have gone to uni in different corners of the country having the time of their life and I'm at home in London, struggling.
Having spoken to my friends, I can tell you that they are missing home and their family and me. Obviously.
If you really feel as though you've made a massive mistake by not going, you can always apply for next year.
Whilst I wish I was meeting new people, making new friends and partying every night, I know I have made the right decision for me.
I decided not to go to uni for a reason. The reasons haven't changed.
