Why ebay is helping with the crushing lonliness

[sloathgirl]

Frankly University life is bollocks. I've spent a lot of time musing on this inbetween buying crap on ebay, eating chocolate, and talking to myself when the empty hours of the day threaten to smother the dying embers of my soul. I think this is something everyone who has gone to uni secretly (or not so secretly) knows, it just depends on how good

If it makes you feel any better at all its not just you who sits in a bubble of denial of the world. I have spent many a fine year avoiding hearing about all the depressing things that are going on in the world.
Your bubble, drink and uni, my bubble, Co-Op and Gym.

I'm discarding the uni bubble, its to thin to protect me anymore. I'm now running full tilt into nostalgia land.

I've redyed my hair to purple and brought a gamecube. I figure if I avoid the human world at all costs (and mirrors) I can comfortably pretend I'm 16 again. Join me?

Final year blues? Yeah everyone gets it.

Don't worry about the news. The news is always depressing, recession or otherwise. Seriously, I lived in London for 3 years and was never stabbed. But if you listened to the news you would believe that 50% of London's population are knife wielding killers (the other 50% are terrorists, of course).

Yes, we are in a recession but these things come and go - it's life. Yes it means you may have to work harder to get a job, but no it's not the end of the world.

Yes, we've all woken up hungover and embarassed. Yes there are times when student life has sucked very much, but the important thing is that you'll get through it and one day you'll be able to look back at this period of your life and laugh at it.

Meanwhile, here is something to cheer you up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EgFbemSFec

If that was broadcast everyday on every tv channel the world would be a happier and better place.

After re-reading the post with saner eyes I realise that I might of been a tad angry and unfair on university. I'm just having tantrums at the world because I don't like it and I don't want to play anymore.

Well Uni is a time and a place. Finish the degree and then the rest of your life can happen. Most of it is meaningless, the decline of student activism being one of the shameful things that have destroyed to student spirit and turned campus into a mindlessly commerical and souless place. Home is where the hear is. Have fun whilst you can, and take what you like out of Uni and forget the rest.

Don't let the barstards grind you down.

Hey Sally. I found that most students are just a bunch of middle class idiots who are destined to be blind for their whole lives. I avoided them at all costs and it seemed to work for me. The most satisfing thing is when you do better then them.

If you want to have a catch up sometime I could maybe talk John into driving up to Winchester for a day and night. Don't worry if you don't.

Stay positive.

I agree with James.

I'd love that, the only problem is that you'd have to sleep in the living room if you were staying over as there are no empty beds.

As long as it's dry and we won't get robbed we are pretty flexible. I'll get him to fishbook you as he's into that and you can talk dates and stuff.

Rock and roll!
