end of an era

its a cheesy title yes, but its also how my room mate described this moment in time.
it kinda is the end of an era.

let me explain.... this morning (and i use the term morning rather loosely) as i lay watching the jeremy kyle show in nothing but a dressing gown, in a basically empty student house, eating coco pops out of a massive novelty cup that was bigger than most bowls, i realised (apart from the fact im a major waste of space) that this would be one of the last times i ever do this.

I hand my keys in monday, im technically up in Derry to say good bye to everyone, though most of the goodbyes are said and gone since most of the student population is already back home and or already on thier placements.
So i should be packing my stuff and cleaning the house so i dont get fined enormously for cleaning as well as the general wear and tear of the house....which wouldve been far less had there not been so many parties at ours through out thge year and a comical amount of money supposedly due for a firealarm system that none of us went near all year (gotta love landlords and letting agencies, they just love sucking up not just your deposit but charging you even more money for imaginary rules that you didnt agree to) I wont however be cleaning or packing until saturday maybe sunday, not because im lazy, or a waster, but because im not spending my last week, alone cleaning!

It really is the end of an era, i wont be living on princes street anymore, there wont be anymore cocopops in enormous cups, and there wont be lying around in pjs watching jeremy kyle, mainly because i wont be living with aoife and i wouldnt be arsed watching the show without her there to agree how pathetic our lives are and how stupid the guests on the show can be. I will be back home, expected to be dressed well before noon, no sleep ins, because lets face it, between my mother and my many siblings, sleep ins dont normally happen peacefully.
There will always be something to do, so no more lying about with nothing to do.
no more pizza for breakfast or 2am fajitas, lets face it, student life doesnt happen back home.

And why is it the end of an era? why isnt it just the usual summer interval? well my like minded little readers, i wont be returning next semester, i will be on placement(where i havent quite figured that part out yet, but i will) and by the time my years placement is over, lets face it i will be head into the books for my third year, and far too boring n grown up to be arsed with young newbie 18 year old freashman who want to party till 6am and never go to class.
third year will be boring and important, and even more so because ill be even older than my current grumpy old self.

So good bye bitching at the jeremy kyle show, goodbye cocopops not in a bowl, good bye stupid eating habits, and most of all goodbye freedom.

you dont realise it while you have it, how amazing it is to have the choice to lay about all day, or go out without asking permission or arranging babysitters or a lift here and there.
When in uni we all have the awesome time that we dont have to relay on others, because lets face it, if you go broke, thats your fault (so dont) if you want to go out and still get up for class the next day (do it and regret it later) if you want to go to the cinema at the bottom of the road, or tescos for almost ou of date cokies (do it, walk there, no need to ask for the car or a driver or even let people know where you are going, and go through the usual 20 questions before you even get out the door, you can just go)
but nope
not now

now we get explain every movement, even when most of the time its not our true lazy desire.
nights out wont be last minute ideas, theyll take planning, coordination, transport and probably more funding, with even more regret the next day.

So for me at least, and soon yourselves, this is the end of an era. this time next week ill be home where things cost more and ive less options, ill be home with many many loud siblings and no time or space or even option to be alone for whatever period of time.
ill be home where theres always something to do and its not normally something you want (work and household responsibilities come to mind here)

Either way (ill have a far more sad I DONT WANT TO LEAVE post later in the week) for now, its the end of lazyness as i know it.
goodbye 2013-2014 academic year, ye were awesome while ya lasted.




What will you all miss most about this academic year? or for my more suitable audience, what do you miss most about that brief moment in your life (be that uni or whatever) that you had it all sorted so you could do whatever, whenever. what do you all miss most?
...surprisingly i think ill miss my 4am sits in the labs, simpley because i didnt have to tell anyone where i was or what i was doing.....heres to being unaccountable to anyone but yourself!!!!
