Adjustments in Life

So in my life, I have been going through some changes.

I started university, my brother has gone away to university, and I am single.

University

University has bought its own unique challenges, like all of the note-taking, listening, and Latin words that I won't even begin to try and pronounce.

It's a challenge, however, the respite I do get at home is spent doing... fuck all. It feels kinda weird being left to my own devices in terms of studying and academic work.

Back at college I used to play football, but I gave that up over the summer for some reason. I need to find myself some form of hobby because at the minute I'm coming home and doing literally nothing. Obviously, when I have work and reading to do, I do it. What do I do to socialise though? What do I do in my own time?

My Brother Moving Away

So my brother has moved up north to go to uni (for the third attempt), and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. Obviously, it's nice not having him around because he used to piss me off constantly, but it's kinda boring. The house has some kind of melancholic silence about it when I'm here; when mum and dad are here it's alright, but on my own, it's just silent. When my brother was here it was never, ever silent. He was either playing music, having a go at someone, taking the piss out of me, or just making general noise.

Being Single

So this is the big one for me. During the majority of my time at university, I was in a relationship. It was great, we went on holiday together, and it was fun. It was a good time in my life, however, when the prospect of me going to university cropped up, there was a lot of uncertainty as to where I was going... at one stage I thought I was going to London, but then at the last minute I stayed local.

We were arguing for a while about the whole situation and it wasn't really healthy, so we decided to call it a day.

A couple of weeks later she found a new man, she entered in a relationship with him, and I wish them all the best.

I found someone too... but that "fizzled out" shall we say.

Now I'm at the stage where I'm just so bored of the monotonous routine of getting home, laying in bed, and filling my brain with absolute shit. I need something or even someone to occupy my mind.

It's a tough one because I've got so many things to think about at uni so I don't really have time for any commitments, but at the same time, I need a break from it all.

I'd say I'm definitely a relationship kinda guy, like I can't do all this single talking to whoever bullshit. If I find someone, I like to put a lot of effort in to make both parties as happy as possible.

The way I look at it, life goes on. Shit happens. I reckon life's too short to be melancholy so what's the point in wasting time moaning when you could be more efficient in finding a source of happiness?
