5 Years ago
- I had just started Uni at Lufbra, freshers year was great and I did no work. I also learnt a hell of alot and grew up alot in those three years.
- I had no income and had just finished working in GAME (best job ever) so was totally reliant on my student overdraft which went soon after.
- Life at home was decent not great but decent
- Villa were average to shit
- I had a really good group of mates at home
- I was playing cricket at a good level and hoping to make my mark at Uni.
5 Years on
- I graduated with a top degree and 3 great years
- I still play cricket at a decent level - never made my mark though
- I have a really good job with really good prospects and a top salary for my age
- I dont see my mates at home as much as 5 years ago
- I live back at home after living in Notts for 2 years (which was awesome) and may soon be moving to London
The good things are the money, maturity, development of my character. I also have my health and fitness (just) and also still a great family and lots of little cousins. The bad things are just that life was simpler back then I had no worries about bills or supporting my family, no worries about hitting targets, worries about finding the 'one'. But that I suppose comes naturally, the most important thing is that just before uni i became much closer to my faith then I drifted in the past 4-5 years but now am really close to it and I feel so much happier for it and at the end of the day my life is much better and I feel blessed to have such a life.
