I’m so grateful because I know most people who go to university don’t make close friends - you meet a lot of hi-bye friends, or friends who only associate with you for connections, or simply friends you hang out with on a daily basis but you never really talk to. In architecture, we’re forced to spend every second of our time in the studio with our sixty classmates, so it’s sort of inevitable that we become close to each other.
I see other people and their closest friends are just from high school, and they keep dating people from their high school, but I’ve been really lucky because I met a bunch of people in university who I can say, without hesitation, are just as close to me as my high school friends are. I can be my complete self around them, talk about my deepest feelings with them etc. And they’re always there for me, they understand the stress from the workload I get, they comfort me when I’m sad… I’ve never felt happier.
These crazy girls gave me a surprise birthday cake four days before my birthday! It was Monday, so we had a full day of studio, then afterwards we scattered upstairs to the CAD lab to work on our viscom assignments...
Anyway it was around 10PM I think? I was totally tired out from 3D Max and I just wanted to go home cos it takes me one hour to get back... I was so absorbed in my own depressed/panicky thoughts I didn't notice the girls had disappeared from the CAD lab.
Suddenly Cherry came up to me and was like, "shit, you need to go down to the studio to see Joshua now."
I panicked even more... Joshua is my tutor and one week ago, I had a really bad experience with him. Like I'd pulled an all-nighter for design and the next morning when I saw him, he didn't like what I did and made me stay until 9PM at night to produce new work for him. I hadn't slept the night before and I was exhausted and emotional and I cried so much that day.
Anyway, that was why I began hyperventilating hahahaha, I was like, "FUCK FUCK FUCK NOT A REPEAT OF LAST WEEK PLEASE!"
I rushed downstairs to the studio but instead of seeing Joshua there, I was greeted by my friends and a homemade birthday cake baked by Whitney and her twin sister. And the candles were lighted and they sang Happy Birthday for me. :')
Gosh. I was so touched. I was shunned to silence lol all I remember was screaming, "YOU GUYS REALLY SCARED ME" at them hahaha.
