Being in a pandemic has been hard and devastating. But further more it’s had a massive impact on our health and well-being. My biggest priority this year is to make myself available to my friends, family and my friends at university, being someone who will listen and help guide people as much as I can and being a shoulder to cry on. Especially while some of us are struggling being stuck at home it’s important to be their for one another. So that’s why I’m prioritising mental health and well-being as I want to be a support for others not only for myself but also to ensure I’m their for other around me who need me and that they are aware they are not alone. |
WHAT ARE MY PRIORITIES/PLEDGES/PROMISES?
1) My first promise is ensuring all students voices and ideas are heard in terms of what events they’d be interested in.
2) My second promise is catering events for everyone, whether it’s single mums or dads, cultural events or even just getting to meet other students at the university.
3) My third promise is making sure we have a fun and safe fun packed freshers week and to ensure everyone has a great time and makes great memories!
WHAT WILL I DO TO ACHEIVE MY PRIORITIES/PLEDGES/PROMISES?
1) Making sure I look into what students are interested in and get ideas.
2) Making sure my peers are on board with my ideas and events and that it’s done to a high standard and to a high level of safety.
3) Most importantly getting everyone on board and looking at what we can do that makes us different and unique and what I can do that’s different from others. Making our nights stand out!
WHY ARE MY PRIORITIES/PLEDGES/PROMISES IMPORTANT TO ME?
Being a mature student and being lucky enough to have experiences going clubbing from the age of 18 up until now (22) I’ve been lucky to go to many different events such as Halloween events, Bhangra nights, Valentine’s Day balls and many more.
I think as a university it’s important to be able to have these events not only to celebrate how hard working we’ve all been but to give everyone something to always look forward to whether it’s the end of exams weeks or a Christmas party, everyone should be able to enjoy them self regardless.
My promises are important to me because it’s something I want to achieve and I know I can achieve and something in which I am passionate about. Not only as a women do we want to be safe when we go out and not have to worry, but it would be good to be able to plan events where security are up to standards and everyone feels safe, also listening to what the men want and seeing what we can do for them whether it’s a boys only event or a girls only event, simple things like this can make a big impact and can be the most memorable moments in your life.

The one thing I want to achieve is to make sure everyone has the best experience they possibly can. After the past year we have had, I believe that everyone deserves to have the best time they possibly can. I have tried this year, to do as many inclusive events as I can virtually due to the circumstances of the world at the moment, but once we are able to do more things, I want to be there to support students in that. |
