I'm not quite sure how to start this up, so maybe I'll just dig right in.
I've lived a sheltered life so far, no boyfriends, no hangovers and no marks below a B average in a bad subject. I love my parents, I pick on my oldest younger brother and don't really have any fussy eating habits. However, as I approached legal age, I noticed how I don't always agree with my parents, how having siblings with a 15 year age gap changes your relationship with your friends, and in general how much home life really sucks.
So I opted to move. Not just into the next suburb or closer to the Uni I was at, but to the other end of the country. I changed to study science and live the free life with no curfew and no rules about how to behave or how to spend my time. And more importantly, do it all in shorts.
I came here with the same naive expectation that I would be a different person than what I have been for the last portion of my life, as I have tried so many times before. However, old habits die hard, especially when they've been ingrained into your personality for the better part of your life. So needless to say, I'm still friends with other timids like myself, I still do the pre-reading before lectures and drink plenty of water when I've been drinking alcohol.
However, I have had some new experiences, and that is what this Blog is for. To tell the world (or the oblivion) about what I've been getting up to. Yes, I could write it all down in my diary, and hey, maybe I'll paste a copy in there too, but maybe telling the world/oblivion will help to put some pressure on my strive to change, or at least become more of the person I'd like to be.
