Grace Notes: And so it begins….

I’ve just had my first day of my final year of Undergraduate study. It’s a really scary even if I’m studying for a Masters, I’ll still be a grown up and I’m not entirely ready for that sort of responsibility yet! I went to a few of the fresher’s events and felt so old! Can you see how much my flatmates and I have changed!?

Summer Ball, just before the start of 4th year

It’s strange seeing another load of new students starting and watching them get their bearings around college. I remember feeling that lost as if it was yesterday and I can’t quite believe that it was four years ago for me! I do feel for them though as the Trinity Laban music department is a maze and it’s so easy to get lost, even if you’ve been there for years!

In the next week or so, I’ll be sending off my applications for Masters courses, and I’m in the middle of writing my personal statement. Writing down everything that I’ve done for the past three years makes me realise just how much time has passed and proud of how much I’ve actually done. I just wish I’d started writing it a tad earlier…. My advice for anyone thinking about applying, is to start early!!

This year I’m going to try and enjoy and get the most out of it. I want to be able to take part in as many things as I can and make the most of the opportunities I have at the moment. Because who knows what will be going on in a years’ time!

I hope you all have had a great start to September and if you’re new at school/college/university, then good luck! You’ll have an amazing time!
