Petit Prince

i felt similar last year. especially because i went to different country and most of my friends stayed here we don't have a lot in common anymore. i've still got some great friends from school but i lost touch with quite a few people when i lived abroad. i however, am still in touch with the people whom i'd call 'real' friends. i'm not actually from there, i lived there a year ago. i then went back home and returned to liverpool when i started with uni. i like the city a lot and most people are very friendly. i don't even feel obliged to sit next to some people because i really don't know them well enough. but i imagine it might be even worse. at which uni are you? that's cool! we didn't really have that. there was freshers' fair where we got loads of free stuff and that's about it. there were many parties of course but i just went with the people i already knew... i do have people to hang out with, they just don't happen to be at my uni. i got to know quite a few people through my housemates who are at a different uni as well. i also go to parties... maybe i really should ask them if they are going to a party/ an event, it just feels kinda weird because i really don't know them.

i see, most people do. all i meant is that it's no good if you've got big plans and you end up working all year. cool! i'm studying in england and loads of people over here wanna go to australia!

i guess it's a good idea then! where are you planning to go? i spent most of the year working and i absolutely hated my job :uhoh:

that's what i was gonna say.

it wasn't worth it in my case but many of my friends who did it feel different about it. the most important thing is that you plan what you wanna do. if you wanna relax after finshing school that's fair enough but you should know what you wanna do afterwards.

happy birthday :dance: hope you have a great day :nice:

so true! that's how i felt last year when i was in a gap year and everyone else moved away. i've moved away myself now... i'm quite happy with my life at the moment and i made some great friends. i just feel lonely at uni.

they are my second favourite band [after the beatles] and i absolutely love their new album. check out the threads about them in the world of music section.

i imagine i'm gonna make friends at some point because as i said some people on my course seem to be really nice people. but the fact that people, who finished with uni say exactly the same scares me. i never thought i was gonna say that but i miss school. there was always someone to talk to. the same goes for work...

i'm in first year at uni. when i went to school i used to know pretty much everyone and now that i'm at uni it feels like going into a room of strangers. it's the one thing i hate about uni. some people on my course seem to be really nice but we're in different groups in every module which makes it very hard to get to know each other. i wouldn't even know the names of most people i've spoken to quite a few times. i've got my friends here so i don't rely on making friends at uni, still i'd like to get to know the people on my course better. i've just discussed this with someone, who said something similar and i'm wondering how other students feel about it. i thought that it just takes time to get to know everyone and that it's probably a first year thing. however, i heard people who finished uni saying the same.

that's quite cool! i should get my flatmate who is from reading one of these

yeah i guess it's mainly guys who find it attractive. i personally don't feel the need to watch someone doing it. i don't understand why some people mind if their partner is doing it, it's a natural thing i guess.

i couldn't agree more. i regret losing my virginity. well i don't actually regret losing it but i wish i hadn't lost it to that guy. i loved him at the time but he didn't feel the same. he didn't really care about me but i was young and naive.

it's not raining here but we didn't get snow either this year because it's too cold.:(

i'm gonna have my hair done and i might go shopping. what are your plans for new year's eve?

i usually fall asleep quite easily. i only struggle to fall asleep when i'm very nervous or when i can't stop thinking about something. it usually helps me to get up again. i'm not really doing anything, i just have a cup of tea and read a book or a magazine, which normally helps me to relax. i also listen to music when i go to sleep.

no, it doesn't. i feel the same.:( my other resolutions: get over someone get a second job lose weight go to to the gymn get a second job make more friends at uni spend less time online go to uni more often and do the reading for seminars improve my english spend less money on alcohol

jamaica. do you go to church on christmas eve?

yes and i liked it a lot. which country do you wanna visit the most?

i just can't keep myself busy. i can't really go far away from home before christmas to visit friends because i have not seen some family members in ages. i'm meant to do some reading for uni but our tutors only just sent us a list of the books we need to read and i can not even get most of them in this country. i'd probably even read them, i'm THAT bored.

yes. what's your favourite film?

same here, i cant wait to go back to the uk.

no. do/ did you write a lot of christmas cards?

i was not looking forward to going home either but for different reasons i suppose. all i can tell you is try to make the best of it and see the people who matter to you. at least you can understand where your friends our coming from because you have lived in the uk pretty much all your life. it's obvious that most of your friends lives haven't changed as much as yours. if you say that you no longer have those problems, it shows once again that it was the right decision for you to move to spain. i hope you can enjoy your time in manchester anyway. are you going to the man city: liverpool game?:)
