You gotta love.. being in the middle sometimes. So many times have I been in a firing line for having an opinion... and yeah, thats always going to happen.
BUT I will not deter from loving the power of silence. It can make everything so much easier.
So for arguments sake, lets say a friend bitched about another friend. You can have three scenarios ...
1. Side completely with one friend and be honest about it
2. Do the lame thing and bitch equally between the two... this isn't cool. So many people do it, and its the definition of BITCH.
3. Shut the fuck up!
And from now on, I vow to devote my life to number 3.
And now for the main event. 'It's not you, it's uni.'
I have thought of writing this for months since a certain gent upped and left me... but its all in the past, yadda yadda. I can feel dislike towards him but I see his reasons.
University in the 21st Century... its fun, its dirty, its dishonest.
Seriously.
I mean, I have, as many 'teenage' (God I hate that word) girls have, a standard awesome net of friends. And I safely say that 75% of them have not had successful university long distance relationships.
But why? Well, the lure of alcohol at student prices and raves and 'bops' and 'Carnage' all spell Y-E-S to the average student, where in my and my poor lovely friendies books it spells 'Bye Bye Partner.'
So now we are faced with the problem. The poor fuckers who think it's THEIR fault! Its not. Sure, maybe you had problems. But, it's not you, it's uni.
Uni is a place that was once considered one of the highest academic circles to be in. Now every bugger can get a degree... but the aspect that most appeals to students is the nightlife. Not the future promise and grades you will receive.
Whats more, universities know this. Bars and pubs know it. Shops know it. Hence, student discount.
So when one is faced with a predicament, your boyfriend or girlfriend is now gone. And something tells you its not going to end right because you're home and they're at a bar on Freshers week. Unless you're engaged or you know the place is boring, or the person will come home as often as he/ she can to visit, cut and run. Or even if you don't, and they end it with you... it will have been because they want freedom. You're still beautiful /handsome/ gorgeous/ fun/ good in the sack... you just don't include glowsticks and free shots.
Those of you who read this and think the worst of me, trust me, I wouldn't be writing it if I didn't care. Not all situations are the same, but I've lived my experience, and I'm sick of others being heartbroken over theirs.
more another time on that!
