it's just an introduction , it gets better I promise boxer boy will make an appearance soon, bear with me
^^
Lying on my bed staring up at the pale oatmeal ceiling , I contemplated the idea of true love and mutual co-existence. For years I dreamt about studying abroad in England , meeting a cute English boy who would whish me off in to the sunset and we'd ride off on unicorns and eat the clouds like they were candyfloss .... okay maybe I lost it for a bit there , but romantic comedies just give you such unrealistic expectations.
In all honesty , who loves you for all the things you hate about yourself ? that is such rubbish that the media throws at you to make you watch their cheesy and clichéd movies (not that I don't looooove them) and then you eat ice cream because you're depressed seeing as channing tatum isn't your husband and then you feel even worse because DUH the CARBS. On the one hand you have society telling you to be yourself (hell yeah) and on the other hand they want you to conform into this unrealistic , idealistic and fake "Barbie" just to please those around you. So basically you're left being a confused teenager unsure if you should stick it out , be you and suffer the consequences or become a sell-out and aim to reach the unattainable.
Enough about my rants though , I'm sure you've heard the same thing just in different words (I hope) and alas thus bringing me to my point , yes this rambling was going somewhere. Just when you think you've got it all figured out and you understand life and your purpose on this big but really small planet , life slams you in the face and proves you wrong.
So let's get to the actual point of this , I am fresh out of high school and although my final year was a bit shaky , I pulled through and go the marks I wanted. But there's one thing I never expected and this was that all my friends would be exactly where they needed to be.
Starting us off is the brain Thiasha (tee) who after 2 months of university dropped out to start a software company that is slowly taking off , she's like the Steve Jobbs of our generation. Second we have Jess , the quint-essential South African white girl who is off in Florida studying medicine and I'm almost positive she will marry a racist redneck who hates me. Thirdly , we have Ridwa , the resident Harry Potter fan girl studying some extremely complicated science thing I cant pronounce in Ireland ( we all know she did it for Niall). Second to last we have Naseeha , and I'm sure you're expecting her to be studying some amaaaazing thing but instead despite her unbridled potential is engaged to her high school sweetheart (the wedding is this December) I guess she was never cut out for the real world anyway and is in everyway my opposite. What about me you may ask? After a year of convincing , batting of my eyelashes and a bursary from a local company , I against all odds am studying Medicine at the university of Newcastle , England. I know it's not London , but it's pretty damn close. Yeah and before I forget I'm here with my best friend and future English lit major Celine , and we share a not too shabby two bedroom apartment.
