Things you have to do in the summer before university - Debut

Things you have to do in the summer before university - Debut Its been great seeing excited first-year students tweet about their newly-acquired university places. We were there too, that summer before university, celebrating with our hometown mates, eagerly awaiting welcome emails from our department, and wishing that time would move just a little bit faster so you can just  start uni already. Our freshers year may have been (an undisclosed amount of time) ago, so we have the benefit of good old retrospective.
