I found the adjustment to university very challenging as I was not used to being away from my family, so inevitably, I had to find something that would keep me busy. This was when I took up working out, for me working out gets me off campus, allows me to interact with other people, and allows me to be myself and not just a student for a while. It is so hard to remember that you are more than your academic studies when in the middle of studying for an exam and doing an assignment worth 30% of your grade. So taking care of myself and focusing on my workout is one way I let myself enjoy other things around Kingston, as when I am out, I generally wander around and explore the town.
