In this week's SabbChat episode your hosts are SU President, Hannah Doe, VP Postgraduate, Orla Tarn, VP Sports and Athletic Union President, Megan Somerville and VP Education, Gina Dunn.
This is the first SabbChat with the new Officers who are very excited for what this year has in store, meeting all the new and existing students and sharing their experiences of Freshers' Week. There's a lot to talk about!
The group talk about the Fairs and that there will be something for everyone but how many free pizza slices can be eaten in one day!? Socialising in the SU and making friends for life by joining clubs and societies. Living with new people for the first time and negotiating your way through that. Dealing with first week peaks and of course the troughs like Meg crying in the supermarket in front of her mum during the first shop... :)
Hannah mentions that things will seem overwhelming but put yourself out there, meet people and remember it's always your choice but most importantly have fun! Some important advice on drinking during Freshers' Week and some wise thoughts from Gina at the end about feeling uncomfortable at times but there are people you can talk to like your personal tutor, the Sabbs and the SU's very own Student Advice team ... be weary of using toilet role to blow your nose...! Have a fantastic Freshers' 2021!
