The toughest time I’ve ever had was my first term here at varsity. Nevertheless, I really love student life now, but it wasn’t easy getting used to things. My bad luck started on the very first day. My parents had just dropped me off with all my stuff when some of the guys whose rooms were on the same corridor as mine suggested going to play rugby in the park nearby. While I was running, I tripped and fell very hard on my right arm and broke it. I couldn’t do any sport for weeks. On top of that, I wasn’t able to write properly. So as to catch up, I had to take extra classes later in the year. I was homesick and didn’t make friends, though. In conclusion, things got better. Luckily, I managed to get into the first team when my arm was ok and then I made loads of new friends.
