the rapists, racists, sexists and ableists were dragged to FILTHHHHHH in this video. We stan a righteous kween. And I have the opposite problem to you, I visited my tutor so much this year he now knows my life story, medical history and family tree.

[@SelinaOzay]

😂😂😂 no Emma that’s the way to do it honestly. I need Lee to stop me from dropping out this year 😭

[@shivania5823]

I find you relatable and honest which is so helpful for those of us going to uni in September thank you x

[@SelinaOzay]

Aw thank you!! ❤️

[@TheLazzzyStudent]

This is such an informative video 🥳 Textbooks cost so much, and I don't open mine more than twice the whole year..! Wish that I had just read them in the library once a week for seminar work..💁🏻‍♀️

[@katea7500]

could you do a video on how you write your lecture notes? and how you store/organise your notes aswell?

[@SelinaOzay]

Yes I’m planning to do that once I get back to uni & in the swing on things!! 💗

[@Leah34785]

I start uni next month so these videos will be a great help, thank you! x

[@SelinaOzay]

Fab!! Good luck girl x

[@mariahop]

Good luck with your first week, i’ve done a similar video on my channel talking about similar topics and my own experience on my first day. :)

[@mariahop]

Talking about mental health whilst at uni is so important. It cant be a bit of a taboo subject, but whilst being at uni and hearing about peers and friends struggling its so important to understand that as a student you should never feel too stressed/alone. ALWAYS TALK TO SOMEONE. Great video, i’ve created ‘The Student Series’ on my channel. Just talking about advice and essentials for. :)

[@SelinaOzay]

I totally agree it needs to be talked about more!! Ooh okay I’ll check it out💕

[@SelinaOzay]

Good luck girl!! It’s a bit of a transition but if you’re struggling don’t be shy & go see your personal tutor! 💕💕

[@venhelo9890]

Is there going to be some sort of opening ceremony in the first year?

[@SelinaOzay]

I think there’s a welcome lecture for first years!

Thank you!! It’s the nyx liquid suede in the shade vintage retro ❤️

[@nourehshahouzei3850]

How can you find friends while living at home during uni?

[@SelinaOzay]

I'd say try to get involved in society's and go to their events!

[@megancoupe6107]

what societies did you join? how many is right?

[@rachelsauvarin1951]

travelhappymegs I joined just one because they can be a bit of a commitment, but some are more than others!

[@SelinaOzay]

In first year I joined 3 (vegetarian society, body society & psychology) and in second year I joined 2 (vegetarian & body society)!

[@savannah6199]

What societies did you join ? Xx

[@SelinaOzay]

Body society (has different workout classes) and vegetarian/vegan society!

[@Christielouisexxxxx]

Hey, I'm starting at Exeter in September and my accomodation is Northfield, i was wondering if you know anything about the accomodation/how far it is from campus etc? Also what do I need to bring in terms of like checking in to the accomodation? Like do they need to see ID etc? So nervous! Love your videos btw xx

[@joshdarwish5788]

Christie Drysdale Christie Drysdale when did you find out about your accommodation pls? and there’s another channel that might be helpful for these kinda questions at Exeter- student life vlogs Francesca

[@chriskoscien559]

You need to bring ID so they can give you your key to your room.

[@Christielouisexxxxx]

I applied for deffered entry so I already know which accomodation im staying in, and thank you! :)

[@Christielouisexxxxx]

Ok cool thanks!

[@SelinaOzay]

Northfield is probably a 10 minute walk from campus! Could be 15 minutes depending on what part of campus you’re trying to get to. I think it’s supposed to be a really nice/modern accommodation! It’s also nice cos literally down the hill is st David’s train station if you’re planning on visiting home etc! And yeah you should bring your ID 😊 thank you girl xx

[@mariyahx6859]

[@SelinaOzay]

Thank you! ❤️ aw good luck I’m sure you’ll do great!!
