Friends like these….
So I’m back at uni for my 2nd year. Leaving my ‘home aka homies’ friends and coming back to my ‘uni’ friends is a strange experience. I love them both but in such different ways.
University friends, whom i have known for a year now, are the ones who know the, less emerassing, less akward more confident and self assured version of me. Which is a good version but not necessarily best. They know the funny stories and interesting tales about my home family life and about the antics i get up to with the homies. But they don’t know about the heartace of growing up, divorced parents, ex-boyfriend traumas and overreacted dramas. This group of friends convinently don’t know about the bad hair, orange fake tan, and embarrassing early teenage years stories.
My home friends, who i have know since the age of school, some even from nursery, are the ones who know every single detail of my life up unil a year ago. They were their through the parents divorcing and the exboyfriend traumas, with a shoulder ready to cry on. We share so many private jokes together anybody who doesn’t know us finds it hard to understand us. They experienced and lived the embarrassing moments alongside me. But they know me as the ‘funny one’ and the one who always gives good advice, andwill look after you when you are blind drunk being sick on your shoes. They struggle to acknowledge the older, more worldly part of my personality.
I can laugh for hours with both and feel completely myself with both, and yet my two groups of friends are insanely different. I can’t imagine the two worlds colliding. I guess i find it hard switching between the two so frequently throughout the year.
And thats my rant of the night finished with!!
