roar | Welcome Week
The last few weeks of my life have been spent planning, plotting and producing issue one of roar, your student magazine. Depending when it gets back from the printers, it'll launch during welcome week. Hopefully Thursday. I'm not one to blow my own trumpet, but it does look really, really fit. If you don't believe me, just have a butchers at the cover below:
See? FIT. The inside is just as hot. roar is jam-packed full of goodness so make sure to grab a copy when it hits the streets next week.
After the weeks and months of planning, fretting, sweating and a sleepless night (or seven), welcome week finally kicks off tomorrow. I've never really "done" freshers events and whatnot before so this will be just as much a new experience for me as it will be those of you starting your time at King's. Whatever you do, make sure you come down to the welcome fairs, Thursday 20th September at Guy's campus, and Friday 21st September at the Strand. All the various sports clubs, societies, student media, volunteering and campaigning groups will be there, so there'll be plenty of opporunities to broaden your horizon beyond your course and the bar! There'll also be information on how to get involved in the National Union of Students (NUS) and Student Council. If you can't make it down, then don't worry - it isn't the end of the world! You can sign up for any student activity group throughout the year, just pop into your nearest student centre or hunt around the website for more info. The freebies will be at the fairs only though...
And for those of you who are still scared or nervous, don't worry - it's entirely natural. It took me weeks to really get the confidence to speak to people, and it took months before I finally felt at home at King's. If you are finding things tough, then stick with it. It's early days and things will get better - trust me! If you have any problems there are plenty of welcoming faces at KCLSU, or at the welfare / health centre, or even talk to your personal tutor. Just remember you aren't alone. Your sabbatical trustees will be around wearing fetching red shirts with their names on the back. If you have any questions, or just fancy a chat, then stop us and say hello.
Look forward to meeting you all soon,
Pete
