Here goes everything…

It’s tough being a teen/young adult. I want to do well in school, I want a social life, I want money, I want to keep fit and healthy, I want… so much. Don’t you?

Trying to keep everything balanced seems impossible nowadays. That’s why we have to prioritise. To school or college that means putting your education first. To parents that may mean doing your chores first. What I really want is a social life first but we all know that can’t happen in this moment of time.

I’m finding, in my second week of Uni, things run quite a bit different here. It doesn’t mean you get less work or it’s not as important…hell to the no. BUT it does mean that your tutors/lecturers take into consideration what life is like. You’re busy, stressed, running in circles (not literally). But it also means your social life basically is doing assignments and attending lectures. To me, I find that fun…but I can be a boring old fart.

For me, it’s the freedom that I love. Living away from home, waking up when you want, eating what you want. Right now I’m digging into a pack of cookies but who’s judging? NOT MY MUM.
