You know one of my dreams if to one day write an autobiography, of course my life isn't nearly interesting or popular enough to write one of have anyone read it. Regardless I like to think of these end of year look backs as sort of a mini-biography chapter on what i did with my life. To sum it up in just 2 words: Fuck All. I've said before how i'm in an awkward stage of life, i'm at university but i would just like to go into a career already but i don't have the qualifications, hell i'm studying film & screenwriting, i'm not going to have any useful qualifications by the end of this, and that's still a year off. This hasn't just been a year where nothing much happens, but less happens than normal. Me and my best friends live in different cities and even when we are all back home we can never hangout either because of jobs or they still live too far for walking distance and i don't have a car anymore because my dad sold it, i mean fair enough it was his car and no one was driving it while me and my sister were away at university. But even still, now we hangout even less because it takes so much hassle and money and my friends were never the most organised of people to begin with. But i'm getting ahead of myself.
Life at university has been decent, i finished my first year back in May and i would have to describe it as one of the most uneventful years of my life, i didn't make any good friends, acquaintances at best, the 10 or so people i shared a flat with i haven't spoken too since i moved out and i doubt i even learnt all that much to begin with. The most eventful thing that happened in my entire time in the first year at uni was that i finally started to drink alcohol. £9000 well spent. In September i went back for my second year at university and even within just 4 months it's already been a better experience. My new flat is much smaller, i only live with 2 other people and it is near perfect, they're quiet, i barely ever see them and the kitchen is rarely messy, i have a nice view and it's much closer to my university than the last place. Socially things are better, i joined a couple of societies, Sci-Fi & Fantasy and Harry Potter, because i'm a nerd like that, thankfully these are nerds that like to drink, so it's all good. Oh and the actual university part is going well i guess.
For me personally not a whole lot has changed, still don't have a job, actually i did get my first proper job this year, i was a bartender for York Racecourse, it is probably the worst thing i've even done in my life, i only lasted for two days before eventually quitting, and by quitting i mean i just stopped showing up and they eventually stopped texting me. Thankfully I was one out of 1000 bartenders so i doubt they missed me. But even still, i'm still looking for a job, so far, i've been rejected over a dozen times. Honestly the most positive thing to happen to me this year is that i joined a gym and finally started to lose weight. Now i am still fat and being home for Christmas is most certainly not going to help that, but i've lost over a stone and i am enjoying going, for the first time in my life i don't hate my body and that's always swell.
And...that's actually it, like i said it was very uneventful year, it's this awkward waiting phase, not quite an adult, not quite a teen, it's a void state of life. Happy Holidays!
