| Formal |
The month started with our halls formal, which I really enjoyed, despite only a few of our group of friends being there. It's so nice to get dressed up and eat something that you haven't made yourself, and the after party was one of my favourite nights of the year. This was also the evening that I lost "Most Likely to be Successful" to my best friend (rightly so tbh).
The following week my mum and nan came up, and we went to watch Cirque du Soleil, which was a Christmas present from my uncle. It's definitely something that I would recommend seeing, it's such a spectacular production and is like nothing I have ever seen before.

| Sheffield Peace Gardens |
That weekend I went to Sheffield with my group of friends which was probably one of my favourite weekends of uni, as we got to explore a different place and get away from Notts for a bit. Even though it included a sleepless night, my phone breaking and being designated driver (10/10 do not recommend taking your car to uni), I had a fab time.

| Jazz from the show |
March flew by because I was so busy, and the week of the 13th was easily the busiest I have been in a long time. The dance society had our show coming up, so that week included a lot of rehearsals, as well as a social to celebrate which was so nice as I got to know a lot more people from dance. We ended up at Crisis, which is where I lost a lipstick, lost my dignity, and ended up walking home barefoot.

| Baa Bar Bday Celebrations |
The next day, one of my bffs turned 19, so naturally that called for more than one day of celebration. We spent her bday night in Spoons (classic), and the following night in a nice bar, which was also one of the only nights we have been out as a whole group so it was such a lovely couple of days. Unfortunately for me this happened to fall on sale weekend at work, so I was shattered but it was so worth it. Also that week, I started volunteering at a local company, which has been so interesting and rewarding so far.

| The Theatre |
The following week was full of dance, as our show was that weekend. I spent so many hours in the studio/theatre that week, but I loved every second. I was only in three dances, so it was pretty chill for me, which is a huge change to what I'm used to when it comes to dance shows! The whole production was outstanding, and the dances blew me away - I loved being part of it!
By this point in the month I was at serious risk of dying from exhaustion (slight exaggeration, but that's what it felt like), but the last week of the month was still super busy. My grandparents came up and I spent a day with them, showing them the city and the campus, which was really nice.
I feel like I need to hibernate for a month now after being so busy, but March was deffo a success, and it breaks my heart that it was my last full month of first year, and my last full month with my bffs until third year.
