Welcome Weekend 2023 | University of Southampton

It would be weird to not have him around because he's 18 now, so he's always been at home. So it takes some getting used to. Edward plays a lot of piano and the house has been full of music over the last four years so it's going to be very quiet. I don't know. I miss having a house. The house is going to be a lot quieter. She's really helpful as well at home, so yeah, I think I'm going to miss that as well. And I smile, and yeah. And I'm messy as well, you know. I'm all about messy. I think I've been crying for about three days. I've just about stopped. I promised myself I'm not going to. She's the one that sits with me at night and watches telly. She's like my friend. It's our first son, obviously, so it's very emotional, but I think he's ready for it. And it's a big, big new step and a new chapter. I want her to enjoy and make the most of every opportunity. I wanted to study hard, but also play hard and have fun and meet some lovely friends and just have the best three years of my life, yeah. Aw, bring it in, bring it in. Aw. You're just the best, Jax, that's what I want. Mine's Amy, and I love her so much. It's all quite new. I mean, I've moved into my halls at like 10 o'clock this morning. I thought I'd come down and just explore for a bit, so it's quite nice just getting to know people. I've enjoyed making friends. I've come up with my teeny flatmates, so we're out and we're seeing guinea pigs and the other animals of course as well, but mainly the skinny pigs. We got like three Polaroids and then we got three goodies, we got three donuts and all. The petting zoo, like there were hickamy goats and they were really cute. The axe throwing over as part of this weekend was very good. I really like the green spaces on the campus. I like the environment of this university, like the crowd and everything. It's so friendly and so helpful. Yeah, people here are really friendly. Everyone's been really friendly, which has been just really nice. It's so happy just to see us, like we are an international student and they are helping us around in there, so yeah, I like it. I like that much. I went to a really small sixth form and now this is really big, so I quite like it. So it changes new surroundings, so it's quite exciting, quite looking forward to it. It's just such a nice place, like I haven't heard a negative thing about Southampton from anyone, so yeah, I'm really excited to be here.
