Introduction

It's never a good sign when it's midnight and your eating Ben and Jerry's ice cream staring at your laptop screen thinking "My future is here". My hands keep typing and brain says to me "Yes! This is it! This is your turning point! This is where your going to change your life!!". Thanks brain. Oh if life was so easy like that, I wouldn't need Ben and Jerry's ice cream to actually type this. You see, I always thought when I grow up, I'll be a terrific writer, I'll write the next Harry Potter, I'll be loved and adored, and I'll have movies and whatnot...
 These thoughts, I had when I was ten, and I was coming out from the movies, after seeing my first Harry Potter. The thing is as years went by, and I'm now at the University, I realize that maybe, and just maybe, things are not that black and white. First of all, even though I am in a Writing Course, I have to admit that all my colleagues are way better then me. And it's just not one of them, no, they all are incredible genius. I mean every single time that I read one of their pieces, I feel a stab in my heart. A talking stab by the way... That says "AHAHA YOU FAIL AT LIFE" and stabs.
  So I'm going to start a blog, because well, because I can. And it's free... And... And yeah.
  I'm not expecting that something big will come out of this, because I do tend to be incredibly pessimist with my own projects, but hey, what doesn't kill you right?
 So ladies and gentleman, welcome to the Lifestyle of the Young and Confused. The name is self explanatory, I think, it's about me, a girl, that's leading a confused lifestyle... And maybe the part that I'm young will defend me from my own mistakes... Because I do make a lot of them ... And then I explain them by saying "Hey, I'm only young! I make mistakes and I'm partially stupid!"
 Oh yes and I do have a name, my name is Maria. And I apologize in advance for not having a sophisticated way of writing, but I'm not english. Not that this explains it, but I don't have a big reason to explain it anyway. And probably nobody will even read this ...
So, sit back, bring on your popcorn and enjoy the ride through a troublesome university student's mind.

Hello Maria! I think that your post it is really interesting, and I'm glad to be the first to comment about it! I don't write well too because as you, i'm not english haha! I think that you should stop with this negative things around you, you have to think that you're also good, because that's the truth, you're so good as the others, or better, in fact, to me, you're better than everyone else! And please stop thinking that the others are in a better situation than you're, because everyone is confused right now! And that's normal, you know. It is our first time at the University and it is complicated to be a freshman, there's a lot of changes, principally for you! If it's complicated for me that i am still leaving with my parents and i am always with my boyfriend, and friends, it is even more complicated for you that are in a different country, with a different culture! As one of your biggest friends, i'll always be here for you! Any time! I LOVE YOU <3
by the way, my sister agrees with me!
Sorry my mistakes

You made me cry. Thanks for making my day my lovely. Oh God, I hope you're right about everything. And it's difficult for all of us, but I do think that's how its supposed to be! We have to fail to do it better! And and ... Oh Gosh I wish I was there with you :) I miss you so much I can't wait to hug you again! LOVE YOU MAGALOO <3
