"You'll meet lifelong friends in university!"

"There are hot guys everywhere in the campus so don't bother getting attached yet."

"University life is going to be the best years of your life!"

"You are going to be best friends with your roommates because you can have girly talks all night long."

So far, none of these has been proven true. I'm not keeping a close mind and pushing people who wants to get to know me. It's just that, I can call some of these statements that have been flying around since I was eighteen bullshit. One, there are no hot guys walking around in the campus. Even if there are, they are in the minority. And probably not even single. Two, I have met my roommates and I don't think I'm going to be the best of friends with them because we are pretty different in our lifestyles. I know - ah, damn it. A paper cut. Why do you have to do this to me, Murakami? As I was saying, I know Lee Hom Wang but I don't know him. Similarly, they don't know my favourite musicians. It's pretty hard to be bonding over common interests when the only common interests we have are stray monkeys hanging outside our window and stinky dorm toilets. Sure, we can be friends but best friends? 

I'm still a newbie in the university so I can't really cross out lifelong friends and memorable university life yet. 

Seriously, I'm not the only one who has heard these statements. It's like, almost everyone - if not everyone has heard of this and they, like me came to university with high expectations that we are going to meet our soul mates here and stay all night long gossiping and giggling over cute guys with our roommates. 

I'm guessing that there is a sadistic secret organisation that feeds off of broken hopes and dreams from students and they are the ones responsible for spreading these rumours to our older friends, teachers and basically anyone that can influence us. 

More.

Well, like any other good university student, I am procrastinating pretty well. I have an assignment due this Thursday and I am only 20% done.

So, how have I been?

Sometimes the days are tiring, despite having only one or two classes. I don't know how or why I am so tired - so tired that I could be sleeping by 11:30pm. I thought I was sinking into apathy again but that is quite impossible since I am contented with my life right now. Maybe it's the part where I have to move from one place to another; room to class, class to library, library to class, class to library, library to room. However, I'm not truly convinced that walking around is actually making me tired since I am a regular brisk walker. I'm not that active in my university either so extra curricular activities couldn't be draining my energy.

I really miss home. I miss my parents, my siblings and my cat.

I don't know if I am happy here. There are days when I am happy to be here, there are days when I dread waking up to begin another day. When I am here, it's like I'm disconnected from the outside world. I can't feel the days passing because it's a cycle of waking up, going to the same building and doing the same things. I can't really distinguish the days from each other because everyday feels the same.
