Advice for university
Hey guys, I am going to university soon and it will be the first time I spend a long time, alone, away from my family 
. I wouldn't say that I am nervous yet because things tend to become real for me a lot slower than it does for other people but I am still in need of some advice about going to university for the first time. The thing is I don't really feel like I am going to go because the end of my last year in 6th form was really rushed, we just did exams and then left. No goodbye. No send off. It was just like "okay see ya! good luck with your life" so it doesn't feel like it has ended but it has which is no fault of their own because, ya know the pandemic!!! But yeah I just don't know if I feel excited or nervous because it doesn't feel real.
But yeah if anyone has advice for me on what I should do before and when I get to uni, how to make friends when I get there, how to approach lectures and independent study etc. Any advice you have would be great and accepted here. And hey maybe others who are worried about university can find some good advice here.
(My thoughts are really jumbled so if this is hard to read, I am sorry

Autism Awareness Survey
I have recieved permission from @TheMix to post this survey on here. I have made a survey for some Citizenship Coursework that I need to do for school which will help me with my research. This survey is anonymous and confidential. Your responses will only be used for helping me with my coursework. Please do not feel like you have to do this. It is completely optional but it would really help me. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdf-Mc1DmWWaVOov5n6ZcXoAuSGuYypv_shRoZbEXsmAtWCxg/viewform?usp=sf_link

Re: Do you think companies and corporations are 'right' to display LGBT+ flags during pride month?
I think in some cases, it is good and shows solidarity with the community. It is nice to know that even though your family may not accept you, a big, multinational corporation will. I mean, that corporation must truly care, if they have the pride flag on social media. Corporations need to understand that 1. this isn't a trend or something only done for pride month and 2. it is better to support lgbtq+ charities instead of changing your profile picture once a year.
