    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 ❤️

    @Eleanor

    Just a thought..have you had the meningitis vaccine you are supposed to have before moving to University?

    @GreenTea I had a few a while ago, I think so? I'm up to date on all my vaccines so I guess so?

    Ah ok. Just wanted to check. When I went uni I had to rush because I forgot to get it done
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,911 Extreme Poster
    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 😂

    The menACWY vaccine? It's still advertised as getting it a few months before uni
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,911 Extreme Poster
    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 :)

    @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.
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,952 Supreme Poster
    @GreenTea I'm really glad shout were helpful for tonight, sending you big hugs. It's really hard but you'll get through this.

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

  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,952 Supreme Poster
    @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

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.
