\t\t\t\tSo, what am I doing today? I often find myself asking this question a lot. When all responsibility with school ends, you find that you have so much time available to you and it ultimately begs the question, do you have a social life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I remember some of my cousins used to tease that I have a really boring social life. In my defence, I just think it\u2019s a difference in opinion of what I find fun, what I think can be fun and what I\u2019d probably never do. They often find themselves in the latter category so it isn\u2019t my fault really. But above all, I like spending time with friends (or family), talking, laughing, catching up, maybe over a meal (I swear I\u2019m not talkative, just a happy person). I tend to appreciate the quality time spent more than anything else.<\/p>\n

My first point of contact \u2013 my flatmates. In a lot of ways I\u2019m glad I met these people: Chloe, Viral, Steven and Jing. I can\u2019t count the number of times we have ended up gathering around the lounge in our kitchen area to talk, share a meal, play a game of cards or Uno (sometimes with other mates on our floor) or gathered around in Chloe\u2019s room to watch a movie! What I have enjoyed most of all are the times we just ended up sitting on the floor across each other in the corridor talking until late and then saying good night before heading to bed. I like that. A lot.<\/p>\n\"Theo's-friends\"<\/a>\n

Then, I have my school or class mates. Group work, ha! Who would have thought that that would be an avenue for finding great friends? Fun fact \u2013 group members fight or rather have different opinions and tend to disagree a lot. But if you look beyond all that and the hard work that goes into group assignments, guess what? You\u2019ve got a buddy to go to Dylan\u2019s with or to the movies! If not, join a club or society or team as there are quite a number of them here at BU. Some of the people you\u2019ll meet will probably become friends for life.<\/p>\n\"Slider---Theo-social-life\"<\/a>\n

Finally, when it\u2019s me, myself and I, what do I do? I indulge myself in my new obsession \u2013 Korean drama! Please don\u2019t ask why. All I know is, it\u2019s so captivating! If I\u2019m not doing that, I practice and play the piano. It\u2019s important to know how to entertain yourself when no one\u2019s around, so be sure to find a hobby that you love! One thing I know for sure is, the people that have surrounded me have given me the best experience here at BU.<\/p>\n\"Theo-hobbies\"<\/a>\n
