I've just graduated university ( with a First class honours
) and it was a lot of hard work. I didn't really benefit from the social side because I went to uni later than my friends and was older than everyone in my year and couldn't be arsed with the social side really. But the feeling after completing uni and gaining my desired grade is an achievement I am really proud of.
If you want to go to uni you'll need to put in a lot of work but the end result is something you can be proud of forever
