Hi! I'm new here as a peer supporter! I've recently turned 20 and I'm currently in my second year at uni studying psychology.
I'm very passionate about mental health and wellbeing so I'm looking forward to being able to help through advice in the discussion boards.
I'm also really into art, poetry and outdoor things like sea swimming!! <3

    I'm really enjoying my degree so far! It's a lot of hard work and you have to be much more independent than at school but being at university is great fun and course is so interesting!!

    Ooh cool! What fibre arts do you do? I'm into multi-media art but I also crochet and I'm planning to learn how to knit and needle felt.

    Aw thanks I do a combination of both knitting and crochet. Im trying to learn tunisian crochet as well so I can make blankets and clothing such as cardigans. I also love multi media art as well I sometimes enjoy painting but it also depends because I struggle with blending arcylics sometimes lol. Needle felting looks so fun, I got a few friends who needle felt and it impresses me so so much. I might have to have a go. Knitting is so fun as well too because its so relaxing and I can watch the TV or a film in the background while working on a project. <3. I can't wait to see what you make.

    Hello @DandelionQueen43, welcome to the Mix from a fellow Peer Supporter! It's so lovely that you like art and poetry - what kind of art and poetry do you like? Hope you enjoy your time here :3<3
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 17 Settling in
    hi @kaii, I like all sorts of poetry really, especially Silvia Plath. I think her poems are really cool. As for art, I like making multi media pieces, usually with a canvas and then I use paints, pencils, collage, and all sorts of random things which I stick on. It's great fun. What are you into? <3

    Hi @DandelionQueen43 nice to meet you <3.
    That so cool you're creative too! I've never tried to crochet, but my sibling is super into it and makes so many things. I'm curious to know what's your fave thing you've crocheted?
