EXPLORING LEEDS, MAKING NEW FRIENDS & LATE NIGHTS!

[@megadoyoulikewaffles]

Bless you Molly, I found first year SO hard but I'm in second year now and loving it. It is so hard to move away from home but you're doing so well. Keep looking after yourself, and don't apologise for how you're feeling. You have so many people who love you and will support you whatever you do!

[@g44119]

You’ll figure it out sooner or later, I respect you for not dropping out immediately and actually giving it a try despite how you’re not that happy with it. It’s good that you’re able to talk about it with people, I hope things start to make sense to you soon ✨

[@bethbrown1999]

LOOOOL my uni housemate had a tinder date with one of the lads in your flat

[@jackhannington5399]

[@bethbrown1999]

Jack H same I saw him on her Instagram and SCREAMED

[@crispflowers]

im so dead

[@sammiegrace1]

This is amazing haha

[@kimc8791]

Honestly I'm not much older than you but I'm old enough to be able to tell you that having an 'end goal' is not as important as you think. I have a friend who does course after course just for knowledge and experience without a set goal in mind for a long term career. Life is full of new experiences and opportunities, changing your mind, or not knowing what you want to do is just an opportunity to do different things and have an adventure along the way to finding out. And whether you do or not doesn't really matter in the fact that you don't really have to. Have multiple goals and do lots of different things in any/as many fields as you WANT. Just have as much fun as you can and know whatever you do is adding more experience for the future and in no way is it going to be a WRONG choice!

[@kellysmith1581]

Coming from someone who stuck it out for the entire first year, if you don’t feel like it is for you please listen to your gut. I should have put myself and my mental health first but I didn’t. In stead I put first the thought of feeling like a ‘failure’ for dropping out and the disappointment I would cause my family. I completed my first year and transferred home, I actually took a year out after my first year because that’s how much my mental health deteriorated forcing myself to stay in a place I hated. I’m now at a local university and finishing my final year and in a much, much better place! :)

[@NeevElliottx]

Kelly Coleman this is exactly what happened to me! I’m now at my local university and so much happier! I’m glad things worked out for you!💕

[@ceryswilson9535]

Molly I love how at 13:46 you just have a bobby pin hanging out there😂❤️

[@laibasheraz7645]

Cerys Wilson hahaha yeah 😂😂

[@TeganGrace]

Literally love your vlogs more than anything!! 🌟🌟 always puts a smile on my face!

[@krazytravtrav]

Same

[@michell3214]

The question you have to ask yourself is if you could stay at home and still do your course would you be happier? This will tell you if it’s the course or moving from home. I’m 34 and a medical student at Leeds and I still live at home. I tried to live away and I didn’t like it so moved back. Even though I have lived in London and Nottingham for a year.

[@lilybarber304]

I really wouldn’t worry about going home. You do what you need to do to get through it. I went home every weekend in first year and it got my through. Now I live at home, commute to uni and I LOVE IT. Couldn’t have done it without because I needed to get away from everything. I cried every time I left for 4 months but then it just stopped? I wasn’t home sick either just the whole unvironment and uncertainty I needed a break from. You do you 💖

[@williamho5636]

College. University, days starts your journeys of self discovery. You will see your real strength. Leeds has lots of places to go and see. Such as Leeds market day on Thursday. You could join other clubs and societies. Such as badminton. Or even join in other culture society. Harrogate is close by etc Stepping out of the comfort zone, once in a while is a good thing Have fun at college. The days will pass by very fast

[@elifozo6949]

I have been waiting all DAY to watch this FINALLY I HAVE TIME OMD

[@mariah1362]

24:54, I am sorry but you literally look like a Disney princess. Princess belle! 👸💕

[@aimeemazzotta]

Your hair looks so nice Curley after it’s been plaited❤️

[@alin628]

If you want to keep home you have every right to! If that’s what keeps you going then do that!!!? Or alternatively commute every day like I do, absolutely love it now!

[@amandamakesstuff1383]

I’ve been watching your vlogs for a couple of years, and it’s so strange that we’ve now both moved to Leeds for uni at the same time. I keep recognizing the places you go and the event at church and I actually know the places you talk about for once! About homesickness though, I know exactly how you feel. I absolutely hated it when I first moved away from home (during sixth form) and now that I’ve moved out again I miss home so much. I’m enjoying myself and I love it, but I’m also counting down the days until my parents come to visit (27 days to go, yayyy). Crossing my fingers that it’ll eventually get better for the both of us🤞🏻🤞🏻 If you’d ever like to go for a coffee or a drink, I’d love to meet up! I know this is a bit weird hahah but I just know exactly how you feel and I’m feeling it too

[@gst7409]

dont apologise for going home or saying its only 1 night... its YOUR life you can go home whenever you want and anything that helps you get through this year is good for you, dont feel bad for going home ! :-) loving your vlogs and i think YT is helping you pass the time and giving you a focus, i look forward to youre next vlog, have a great time at the fair and a good weekend x

[@hannahgracemx]

Your vlogs from uni remind me SO much of me when I went to Bournemouth in 2012. I hated it (our rooms look exactly the same too). I stuck it out till November but decided it was best for me to leave. Do what is best for you! So glad you’ve had a better a week!!! Xx

[@mollyk2654]

Love seeing your confidence grow with vlogging at uni!!

[@TeganGrace]

ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE A VIDEO FROM MOLLY!!!🙌🏼💗🙌🏼💗

[@lilis8243]

I would pay SO MUCH to have skin like yours... SO CLEARRR ARG ❤️❤️

[@tashramsay]

I love that you've made a few new friends and that you're slowly easing into uni life! You'll get there! Hope you have a fab weekend

[@saraht7227]

I’m so happy your staying in uni (for now) because I know you can’t see it but it looks like an amazing place and an amazing experience to have in life and I think you’d miss it!

[@kayjahaaliyah9048]

Natural makeup routine for uni plsssssss

[@SimplyAnais]

love if it doesn't feel right, listen to your gut and do whats best FOR YOU. i was in the exact same place as you last year and i changed everything and it was the best thing i have ever done. You are gonna figure everything soon, if its not now, it'll be later. dont pressure yourself, i admire you for trying and staying strong and keeping going no matter, remember its okay to drop out and change it all, you won't disappoint anyone ( pls dont think that if you do), you have a lot ahead of you, Keep shining queen

[@Mary-jv2fx]

OMG your hair on the Monday clip is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@lils1762]

I’ve been wanting to comment on your blogs for a while because I know EXACTLY how you felt moving into first year. I’m from NZ so I moved into my first year accommodation in March and I’m still adjusting to it. I cried almost everyday for the first couple of weeks cos I missed my friends and family so much but the new people I met have become my new family and it’s so crazy to think that if I stayed at home I would never have met them and I wouldn’t have grown as much as I have this year. I just want to let you know that it does get easier and it’s so worth it so keep pushing because you’re going to do amazing things ❤️ Also in NZ we call it going to town not clubbing :)

[@harrietstephenson2939]

Honestly Molly my first year sucked too. I had horrible flatmates and was Home every weekend. I’m now in my third year but one thing I regret was not removing myself from the situation and moving to another flat, something which might help you if you feel unsettled? Good luck with everything, do what’s right for you ☺️

[@amygeddes3109]

I moved an hour away from Stirling to Dundee for uni, I can assure you it will get better! I literally understand every single bit of what you are feeling and saying but I find if I make a schedule of what I’m doing each hour of each day I feel busier and don’t think about it as much💕💕

[@ellenwaters4787]

You’re not alone, I actually feel like I’m watching myself when I was in first year before Christmas. And I think these vlogs showing your uncertainty will really help others x

[@drmsap]

why do you remind me of an older version of karen from outnumbered? like to me you look more like her than the actual actress who played her

[@Izzy-yy1er]

egg fried rice OMG yes

[@anon5653]

I’m really excited because this Friday my brother’s coming home for the weekend. He’s already been at uni for 6 weeks and I really miss him.Also my Netflix does that like I turn it off and then like 30 seconds later it’ll just start again randomly

[@alanah224]

Glad you're enjoying uni life a bit more now! It defo gets better and better as time goes on : )

[@hannahhuggans]

I felt the exact same when I started Uni, I ended up going home every weekend for the first couple of weeks and looking back I now think how much I had missed out on. Keeping yourself busy is the best advice till you start feeling better about being away. I ended up commuting then every day instead and I often think how I regret not living the ‘normal’ student life but in the moment it wasn’t for me! Personally you’re doing fab and the home sickness if definitely one thing you never get prepared for! Keep going girl!! Xx

[@eleanorj-k8925]

I love watching youuuuuu! I passed my driving test on Tuesday! And bloody he’ll I love driving but getting so anxious about no one being there next to me!

[@beckyhbevan]

It’s so nice to see you a lot more happier in this vlog! Obviously moving away is hard, I still remember struggling in first year but it will get better! Just keep getting out more and keep yourself busy! You’ll hopefully feel more at home in no time ❤️

[@megans6424]

Don't listen to anyone about not going home. I am really struggling with moving to uni and the only thing getting me through it is going home at weekends. xx

[@kayleightaylor1178]

I love the long vlogs! Please dont worry about crying or getting upset a friend of mine came home every weekend through university it made no difference she still got her qualifications do what makes u happy dont worry what other people do or say u have to do what makes u happy i promise it will get better xxx

[@PaulKeywood]

Glad you seem a little happier in Leeds, enjoy the premiere of whatever movie your seeing tomorrow!

[@FoodieEm]

I went home a lot in my first few years of uni to see my family/boyfriend/dog and I got a lot of comments from people about why which really bothered me, but I learnt that you have to do what’s best for you and if you want to go home then go! It’s so much better than staying at uni to make other people happy, and also there’s nothing better than that feeling of getting home to a little puppy whose so excited to see you 😊 Do what makes you happy and don’t let other people dictate how you live your life! X

[@gd4761]

molly i really feel for you about your flatmates, i had the same problem last year in my first year. since youre living with Unite (as did i), maybe go speak to them theyre super helpful xxxx

[@emilysadler6448]

Totally get where you’re coming from some of my friends seem to be having a great time at uni and I just don’t enjoy it massively I’d rather be at home and I think if I were to apply to uni again I would’ve just stayed at home and commuted

[@JessWilshere96]

I totally understand the feeling of not knowing why you're doing the course but I promise your course is whats best for you because its the one in which helps you realise what you love the most and decide whether the area of art is what you want to do. Everyone feels like that, hence why they do that course instead of jumping straight into a degree.

[@megansimpson6965]

I met you in the toilets in church! was so lovely meeting you and I love your videos! You don’t need to apologise for how you’re feeling, I love your honesty and I felt exactly the same way during first year😊Xx

[@leahxns]

dont listen to the comments telling you not to go home so much, if thats what you need to do then thats okay, for me in first year going home every weekend actually made it better because i could enjoy the week with my friends but still look forward to going home at the weekend and soon enough you get used to that being your routine

[@Rachelkellygraham_]

glad you are started to enjoy your course and student life !!! i found that the more i got involved in my course and the people in my course i felt less lonely and make a few friends :)

[@evies-jones4046]

A 26 minute long Molly video?! yEs PLeaSe😍😍

[@megan82345]

loving your vlogs so much! you're killing it with the uploads, especially considering you're busy with uni!

[@bethgrace6798]

Your hair pin hanging off your hair after your night out is such a vibe 😂

[@hayley1283]

OMG my bestfriend lives over the road to you!!! I was there last week! (thanks to your vlogs im applying to uni for 2019) xxx

[@els6915]

Girl keep doing what your doing! You've made a great start and i know its difficult. Ive just started university this year after my gap year and chose not to move out. Just remember that you can leave if you want to and no one would think any less of you! You could always start again next year, you can go to uni at any time. But you seem to be doing so well, so just keep at it and you'll soon know if its right for you or not. XX

[@elliedaniela8370]

Finding your vlogs so helpful to watch at the end of my week!! Loving the honesty and seeing you gradually get better and feeling more positive! It may not feel like it to you, but after watching all your uni vlogs, you are getting more settled and less emotional, and it will keep getting better! I’m still struggling but it’s getting easier gradually xxx

[@travelswithlewis]

Great video Molly! Loving your uni vlogs!!! Anyone else see the hair clip hanging out and just dropping and Molly looked so confused!? 😂 made me chuckle!

[@nickyjones7752]

I love the jumper you’re wearing on Monday it’s so nice x

[@somersks7221]

I'm two weeks into first year uni and I live with boys as well, the kitchen is so messy and they never take the bins out it's such a pain, all we can do is clear up our stuff and try not to spend a lot of time in the kitchen

[@LaurMedley]

Loved this Molly, you’re doing great! ❤️ x

[@EmilyHilson]

It’s soooo weird having watched your videos for so long now seeing you at uni in the same city as me (feeling unsettled just like me as well!) But like I can now relate to all the places you’re talking about! Hope I run into you at some point (will probably end up being at some club event hahaha, I wish I went to Wild Lyfe tbh!)

[@isabellamchugh2052]

Where was that shopping place you went with the plants and poster at like 20 minutes?? it looked so cute, really want to go!!!!

[@chelseaelizaxx]

Referring to day 1 instead of saying ‘clubbing’ or ‘out’ I say ‘out out’. Going out is like going to see friends (no drinks involved) , popping out is like going to the shops and out out is what we use in Cardiff as slang for clubbing

[@laurenwalton9412]

The snack draw is just goals tho 🤤🤤💞

[@plsgoaway4551]

Your hair looks gorg on monday!

[@AmberWoodMusicx]

I get such bad earache too when it's cold and windy and a bad headache too, it's so bad!

[@Hannahhelizabethh]

I am exactly the same about college as you are about university, although I haven’t moved away from my family I have no idea what I want to do or why I am even going to college but I don’t know what to do instead 🤷🏻‍♀️♥️ love these vlogs Molly!🔥

[@ALLABOUTTHESKINLOVE]

Absolutely adore your vlogs and I really admire how real you stay on your channel!💗

[@laurak5724]

Molly, I can’t believe people say don’t go home! Do what is best for you- right now that means puppy cuddles! Also, I love long vlogs! Xx

[@JamesMartin14]
