They say you never miss the water. Until the well runs dry.

I'm blogging a lot lately. I have a lot of feelings and I don't know how to deal with them. It's odd because I've always been so passive about everything. But lately I've been thinking a lot about how our time [at uni] is running out fast and how I only really started appreciating it at the start of this year. I was just looking at my "drafts" tab on Tumblr and I found this and I thought it'd make more sense if I posted it here where I can link to it on Facebook. It's a semester and a half worth of memories that have shaped this year, and though I'm probably the only one who remembers half of these things, but if you remember any of them or they relate to you, I'd like you to know that I appreciate you and you've made this year much better than bearable.
  • Buuuuuuuuutfuuuuuuuuuck.
  • Circle, circle. Star, star. Meth, meth. :o
  • Flicking imaginary ants at people.
  • Garlic Dick 'n' Balls.
  • Having a sugar hangover the day after the Quiz Night.
  • Perfecting Troy and Abed's handshake.
  • Being locked out of Harry Waring for four hours because we were ten minutes late.
  • Getting our Pottermore emails on the very first day.
  • "This is a no rape zone, and this is a no rape zone, and this is a - THEY'RE ALL NO RAPE ZONES."
  • The Green Party in general.
  • The fact that "Lord of the Rings" is now a general term for "Fuck You" since the Green Party.
  • Spending 32 hours in a row at uni and regretting it like nothing else.
  • ... Not learning our lesson and almost doing it a second time.
  • Brian only remembering me for one week out of every four.
  • Stephen Davies' hair.
  • "Professor Dumbledore!" "... ohh you mean Dick Harris?"
  • Pokemon TCG games in the common room and Luke winning the inaugural match even though he'd never owned cards before.
  • "First years are just scared of everyone. Second years, well, we're awesome. Second/Third year hybrids care more about their diet than their classes and Third years are antisocial shits. The "Fourth" years are okay though."
  • Being very close to the start of the Oktoberfest line.
  • Having really suspicious conversations with people on the day you first meet them. Yeah, this probably means you.
  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. And having people who hardly know me see me crying all over the place.
  • The preceding Harry Potter moviethon. And the subsequent Lord of the Rings moviethon. And to future moviethons.
  • Oh, that one time that Ash nearly drove into another guy at the roundabout even though she's the safest driver I know.
  • $4 guild special at the main cafe.
  • That time we grew a snapdragon flower when we weren't mean to.
And there are so many more that occurred via Facebook chat because apparently that's my go-to messaging system these days, and in general conversation that are just as important but not so suited to a blog post like this.
And I hope there will be many more awkward and exciting moments to come.
I apologise for the nostalgia, it's an unfortunate side-effect of procrastination. However at least it's a step up from the more depressing blog posts I have been writing.
Now I'll go back to my essay, I think.
