(No longer) Teenage (but still a) Dreamer

It's been a whole seven months since I last shared my thoughts and experiences on here, and a lot has happened. But I don't want to dwell on my past as I'm entering a new academic year. Going into my second year of university and I would like to remain positive and optimistic about my future. I'm turning twenty this year (which I prefer to call "twenteen" just so I don't feel too old) and I just can't believe it. I can't believe I'm growing up so quickly. During the summer holidays, I have obtained many jobs, all consisting of me working behind a bar. I decided to enter this new avenue of work as a bartender considering I'm getting older. I worked in a local bar for about 2 months during the summer holidays and a few days before going back to university, I worked behind a bar at a festival. My experience behind the local bar was great, the only issue was that my boss constantly underpaid me and I realised that I did not owe her anything, an...

Over the past few days, I've found myself thinking; Is there such thing as a slutty virgin? Or is someone who makes the most of her encounters with men and stops at sex at risk of being hurt or feeling violated a strategic gameplan? I know another girl here who was known as the "anything but" girl. I thought it was quite derogatory because that's her business. It doesn't make her any less of a person. It just means she's never quite been in a position where she wanted to lose her virginity to any of the horny losers at university...Right?

Does this make me a tease or a sensible individual who doesn't want to risk getting hurt by guys here, and regretting my first time? I'm not too sure anymore... Especially after realising that I'm the only virgin out of the 32 people who...

Well, it's been a long time since my last blog entry and countless things have happened. I can't even begin to explain how university has changed me since my last entry. So like one of my old entries, I'll try to list the events so that we can have a bit of a catch up. I did all my A-level examinations, and managed to finish secondary with an A* B and a C grade. With the struggles and distractions I suffered with in sixth form, I must say, I did quite a good job. I managed to get into an okay university, as I had to apply for not so great universities with my predicted grades. I decided, it's not going to be about the university now, it'll be about the grades I plan on achieving in uni. I started university and attended freshers week in a drunken, high blur. Yes, HIGH,  I have no intention of promoting substance abuse but although I was such a state during my freshers week, I undoubtedly enjoyed it.  I made a countless amount of friends, with boys and girls, a...
