| My amazing bestest friends and my housemates |
For the first time in my three university years living in Cheltenham I finally attended Cheltenham Festival's Gold Cup rather than working it as a penniless student. However I still am a penniless student.
We thought we just had to do it, you cannot live in Cheltenham and not! It was amazing and don't get me wrong I do NOT do betting however 'when in rome'! I was only spending a few pounds per race and ended the day up by £16 ish, that is the type of betting which is the favoured. The weather was awful, raining like crazy but we did not let this dampen our spirits. We dressed in fur and heels and fitted right in with the horsey people.
So for those people who haven't yet been to Cheltenham Festival, I would truly recommend it and if you are a student stay at the YMCA. Now do not judge a book by the cover, it is not just for homeless people. The girls and I stayed there last year on our placement year and you can stay in a 6 bed dorm just for girls or just for boys and it's very clean! Or for those that have a bit more dollar to spend, Cheltenham has plenty of accommodation for you.
Going to the races makes me excited for getting a proper job in the future and being able to do these sort of things. Bring on the future.
Happy Friday!
