coming of age.

February 4, 2009 in the common room | No comments

That’s it. It’s come. It’s finally happened. I’m 21. And as I’m constantly being reminded by all those near and dear, it’s all downhill from here. Now that’s a depressing thought! So, why linger on the doom and gloom of what may or may not be? Let’s reminisce on the good that’s already been.

  • Sledding in Germany on the second exchange.
  • “Cordon bleu” laughter with Jess.
  • Shopping with Charlotte: “Nah, these are too cheap.” (on £500 worth of clothing in House of Fraser)
  • Leaving home for university.
  • Meeting Carol, Adam and Katy.
  • Spontaneous trip to Dublin, and thus meeting Jeff and co.
  • Discovering the joy of gigs – Kosheen, Alphabeat, Roisin Murphy, Reel Big Fish so far. Beyonce, Britney, Little Boots, Frankmusik and Emiliana Torrini to come.
  • First year with Lauren – mutual racism is a hoot.
  • Getting a double bed.
  • The time when Adam almost pooed himself.
  • Going blind (twice) due to the smallest amount of alcohol.

And many, many more. I think I love my life.
