    Right, I have a slight reliance on making lists and I moving out tomorrow to uni so I'm making a to-do list of everything I need to do when I get there:
    - Collect campus card
    - Finish enrolment 
    - Unpack
    - Register at GP 

    What else do I need to do? :joy: 
    Good luck Eleanor, remember to let us know how you’re getting on ❤️

    I think you get the meningitis vaccine in year 11 now at least in England. I tried to get mine before uni and they were like um... you already have it 😂

    Yeah, I’m not sure maybe it was just my school/ area that does it, because I saw it advertised as well, but we’d already had it.

    Im in Scotland, but I had the meningitis vaccine when I was about 14, but I think you can get it up until you're 25. But up here at least most people will have had it before uni :)

They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    @GreenTea I'm not brilliant feeling quite overwhelmed with everything now. How are you doing? I see on the hugs thread you've been having a really rough night, i hope things are a bit better now <3 

    @Shaunie that sounds like a really interesting job and it'd suit you very well.

    Thank you. 

    Don’t think I’ll get it. It’s all the way in Huntingdon and I can’t drive Which is usually ideal to drive to peers houses

     but will be good for the experience of interview

    @Shaunie you never know, if you're right for the job they may well consider you even though you can't drive.

    @independent_ I'm really not ok at the moment. SHOUT helped me form a plan for this evening which has helped slightly. Just really struggling with thoughts.
    kinda not sure if I want to shower or do the 3 goals. Also need to figure out what self care i want to do tonight.

    @GreenTea you're doing a great job, I really understand the feeling of just needing a break from it all.

    @Shaunie that's right, if it was an absolute requirement and you clicked no they probably wouldn't interview you. The fact that they're interviewing you shows that they think you may be suitable for it and the right person for it <3 I think you're brilliant at supporting others and empathising so think it'd be a wonderful job for you
