How was studying?

📨
Awful.

Why?

It was just so boring and my best friend was just looking at the handsome tutor all the time.
Honestly, he was looking at her most of the time, too.
He's 24 or 25, just so you know that he's not eighty or something like that.

Good to hear, lol.
And the lecture was boring?

Yeah.
I have to say most of the things I study aren't that interesting. Politics isn't really my thing, I have to admit, I guess.

But why do you study politics then?

I don't know. Probably because I haven't found anything else. And I can study with my best friend—that's a plus too.

I'm a bit confused now.

Why?

Did I get it right that even though you don't like what you study, you're not looking for another, more suitable field of study? ... Just out of convenience?

I sit right in front of my smartphone, thinking about what he said.
I mean, he's right. At the end of the day, I don't like what I study. I didn't even like the basic courses. I'm now in my fourth semester and I'm less than euphoric.
I've always wanted to do something creative, something where I can create something, maybe something with the media—or, more likely, produce music. Something like that.
And then I just went with what Amy chose, just because in school we always took the same courses, and we always wanted to live together—or at least in the same town. Now we have both—we take the same courses, and we live just minutes apart from each other. But is that what makes me happy?
Debatable.

You got it absolutely right.
I am so dumb.

📩
No, no, you aren't. A lot of people study something that doesn't make them entirely happy, you just have to see whether it makes you happy enough to keep studying it.

You sound like you have experience in this area.

Not especially when it comes to studying, but yeah, with something similar.

So, you don't study? Are you in any kind of education right now?

Does vocational training count? Just joking.
At the moment I'm taking a break from... everything.

So, a gap year then?

Yeah, something like that.

And afterwards? Will you start studying something, or do you already have a job?

I have a job.

You don't sound like you wanna talk about it right now.
Wanna talk about something else instead? :)

You really have a good instinct for things like that, don't you?

I'd love to.

What music are you listening to right now?

Is it still snowing outside in Toronto?

Haha, you answer first.

📩
Yes, it has been snowing for the past few hours—now it looks wonderful.

Wait a moment.

📨
Wow, it really looks beautiful.

I love Canada. I wouldn't like to live anywhere else, even though I once lived somewhere else and I loved living there, too.

Really? Where did you live?

England. The home of Ed Sheeran.

So, you're a Sheerio?

A what?

A Sheerio. A member of Ed Sheeran's fanbase.

Uhm, no. I am just a fan of his music.

Did you ever meet him?

That would surely be great. I would like to tell him a lot about his music. He's a totally different artist but, in his own way, just as impressive as Shawn Mendes. Great lyrics, deep meanings, just a fantastic songwriter.

Shawn or Ed?

Both.

And it's "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus
at the moment.

What?

The music I'm listening to right now.

Ah, okay, yes.

That's such a cool song. I love the dancing parts. I wish I could dance that freely.

I totally agree.

Would you like to meet Shawn Mendes one day too?

Huh? Ah, yes, of course!
I have so many questions about his songwriting.
I really admire the way he puts his feelings into his music.

Would you like to? (Why am I asking?)

I would love to meet the Shawn you've described. He sounds really wise.

Probably.
But at least a boy stuck in a crisis—that's what I get at the moment from the stories my friend writes.
By the way, if you asked her whether she'd like to meet Shawn Mendes, the answer would obviously be clear. But she'd add what she always tells me the same thing.

Now I'm curious.

She's always like, "omg, when I meet him, I'm sure he will write a song about me."

Really? That's... ambitious.

Yeah, why not have high goals?
