Back in my final week at Swansea University, I made a bit of a deal with the union’s events company, Swansea Student Events. In exchange for an access all areas pass and use of their hired cameraman at the Summer Ball, I helped out with presenting some video promo for Freshers’ week.

This involved running around the union’s various nights with the then Societies and Services Officer elect Mr. Tom Upton and camera man Gavin Porter, shoving a microphone into people’s faces and asking them what they thought of (insert union night here). The week itself was hilarious. There was the massive height difference between Tom and I, not to mention the banter (pretty sure this interview was the reason SSE thought it would be a class idea to pair us up as co-presenters) the fact I almost lost my voice and sounded a bit like a bloke after a few nights of hollering questions at people as the bass thumped in the background and just the hilarity of Swansea students in the final week of term in general.

Now Swansea Freshers Week is around the corner, the videos are out… and I don’t look like too much of an idiot, though I am mighty disappointed the footage of us asking for people’s favourite chat up lines, best dance moves and best stories from Swansea were mostly cut out. I may not be at Swansea this year, but the videos serve as a nice little memento of the kind of nights I attended during my undergraduate years!
