YOUR TURN! 1, 5, 11, 12, 32, 40.
Getting me back for the number of questions I asked you I see, haha. :)
1:Talk about the first time you watched your favorite movie.I watched Pitch Black the first time with my parents, like a lot of first times I’ve seen films, all I remember was just being amazed by it. At the time we used to have family film nights and do pizzas and snacks with the film. Hang out with my friends? Nah, hang out with the oldies.
5:Talk about the best birthday you’ve had.Tough one. Let’s go with Laser Zone, I can think of literally nothing bad about that birthday. It was in year six so I must have been about ten? Invited every girl in my class and took them to shoot lasers at each other. Good times were had by all.
11:Talk about the best dream you’ve ever had.Ah this is a toss up between the vampire one and the princess one or the shipping containers one. They’re the most elaborate. The vampire one was weird and was also about angels and set in Victorian times with a case of amnesia, the princess one was the standard fairytale “runs away from wicked stepmother, lives with some forest hut guy, falls in love reluctantly winning him over with charm” but with the twist that he turns out to be the head of the rebellion trying to put you back on the throne? The shipping container one I won’t go into because I’m using it as a story idea, but my old housemate Amy knows it, and she knows how scary it was haha.
12:Talk about the worst dream you’ve ever had.You may choose any dream I’ve had in the last month, go ahead, take your pick.Or the Viking one.
32:Talk about a place you remember from your childhood.I highly doubt anyone will be able to tell me where this was but if you can??? I remember this like fairytale place with miniature cottages etc to walk around with mannequins inside depicting classic fairytale scenes like Snow White? There was even one for the Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe which was a surprise. There was also a mini play castle kid-sized to run about and a maze. Also a small bridge with a Humpty Dumpty statue? I remember going with my parents and grandparents. Oh! And there was a maze! I reckon it was in Wales but I have never been able to confirm this and I asked my dad recently and he doesn’t remember. It could be in the South West. I know it wasn’t a dream though it was real? Forever hunting for that place. (It’s probably closed down.)
40:Talk about the end of something in your life.Oh god okay wow. Trying not to think of something too sad here.Uni is coming to an end this year?On one hand I’m excited to be leaving and starting my adult life outside of education, as I am so done with writing essays, and looking forward to having a real job and meeting new people with different experiences.On the other hand I’m terrified. I don’t know what to do with my life, or what skills my uni career has given me other than “Can complain in a linguistically complex and carefully considered manner” (Man, that’s a lot of c’s in that sentence!).I don’t really know what my next step is. I wanted to stay in my University city and get a job but after recent events I kind of want to get as far away from here as possible. I want to be closer to home but I don’t want to be trapped there. I’m scared about moving to somewhere new and strange to me.I feel like its come too soon and three years have flashed by without me really realising or taking advantage of opportunities. Not that I think that I would have done much differently if I did it all again anyway.My advice to anyone starting Uni would be the following:- Work as best you can under the situation and time limit and no one could ask any better of you, not even yourself. (Something my Mum’s taught me from a young age.)- A bad grade isn’t the end of the world.- Be selfish occasionally.- Date that person, break some hearts, get yours broken, least you’ll learn something. (Something I’m still learning myself at the moment.)- Your “Personal Tutor” isn’t just for academic shit. Oh my god go talk to them if you have a problem. Please. They can help. Or at least try to. (Something I wish I knew in first year and have only started to use in my final year.)- Travel. Even if its just to the next city. Yes, you’re a student, yes you’ll have debt up to your eyeballs, but when else are you going to get that much off travel costs? When you’re a pensioner? Pff!- Make use of student deals at every opportunity. Don’t know if that place does them? Ask. Just fucking ask. The worst that’ll happen is they’ll say no and give you a funny look. They probably get asked a lot, they won’t remember you and you’ll know for next time.- Take as many pictures as possible. Selfies, action shots, scenery. Anything and everything. Go through the pictures randomly. There will be something you didn’t remember and it will make you laugh.- Most importantly, listen to Baz Lurhman's Everybody Wear Sunscreen at least once.
