Lonesomeness :( (I know that's not actually a word haha)

Hey guys, listening to this song right now (the Winnie the Pooh "Wherever You Are" song): Going to try not to make this blog too depressing but, truth is, I'm feeling really lonely now I'm at uni, losing old friends now I'm not at school and failing to make new friends. So I'm going to talk about it, cause I'm missing deep chats with my friends, so I'll have to have a one-sided one with the internet instead haha. So yeah, never thought I'd miss school, but I am lost without it.. Cause it was there that I got to see all (or most of) my friends, five days a week, nowadays I hardly ever see them, I simply don't have time, and to tell you the truth, it makes me cry myself to sleep some nights cause I miss them that much, that security, that feeling of acceptance, where nobody judged me, and everyone just accepted me as the weirdo that I am. I mean, I wasn't popular at school, nowhere near, but I had a really close group of friends, the best friends I could ever wish for. People accepted me, had the same sense of humour, the same interests, were nerdy like me.. They were like my soulmates (you still are guys, don't worry - apologies for the cheesiness). But so far at uni, I've only one person (and her friend) who seem at all like me.. They're lovely, they both like Harry Potter and we have a laugh at stupid jokes. I was texting her tonight, in fact, which made me feel a bit better. Apart from that, though, I thought I was making headway in terms of making friends, but apparently I was mistaken. You see, last Tuesday we had a lecture in a different building from usual, about a 15 minute walk away and, afterwards, my friend who I've know for four years and is at uni with me, just left, taking all but one of our (though apparently actually not my) friends away with her, and sat in a different place for lunch so we couldn't even find them.. This sort of ditching has now become a regular thing, along with a regular highlighting of how weird I am, and exaggerating things to make me seem like I'm a horrible person. And everyone just seems to gravitate towards her compared to me, so I have no chance. And all the rest of my friends seem to be disappearing now that we've all moved on to different places. So yeah, sorry, I failed at the not making it depressing, but I feel a bit better having let it out :) Love, as always, Emily x

Leggings: fashion win or a crime against society?

Hey guys :) sorry that I haven't blogged on here in a while, uni's been keeping me pretty busy. The topic of this blog, as you can see from the title, is legging.. So basically, and I apologise for this, I intend to spend the next while ranting about them. Basically, I don't like leggings. I mean, they can be acceptable to wear, but only if you're a toddler wearing them (like I used to), or if you're wearing them under a skirt, like as warmer tights. Here are the reasons why I don't like them: 1. Leggings are not a substitute for trousers people.. You may wear them under a skirt, or a long tshirt at least, but when you wear just then and a short tshirt or a hoodie, it's just weird. 2. Don't people realise that they show off all the lines of their underwear, it looks awful. 3. You know when you're wearing leggings and you complain that you're cold.. Yeah, that's because it's almost winter, and leggings are so thin I fail to understand how you think you could possibly be warm wearing them. It's so annoying. 4. Why do people think that leggings are appropriate clothing to do P.E. in.. They're see through people, don't you realise.. So when you're practising doing P.E. for with primary school children, where you have to make shapes on the floor or whatever, it's so awkward and embarrassing foe everyone around you, and it should be for you too. Rant over.. Sorry if I've offended anyone, but these are my thoughts on the matter, and I hope society soon sorts itself out by coming around to see the truth in them. Love you guys though :) Emily x
