Hey! Welcome to Friends Cafe.
This is a chill and chat space for young BB members to talk about anything and everything and make new friends.
When school's getting to you, uni or work has got you down, parents, partners, friends don't understand, and especially if you're feeling alone or lonely - come and relax awhile and talk to others who know just how you feel.
Our minds can cause us trouble, but they can also be amazing things that imagine beauty, love and fun. This cafe has everything you can imagine. To start with it's, well, a cafe. So there's chairs and tables, comfy couches for flopping, a big screen tele, unlimited download on computers for games, Spotify (or an old-school jukebox if you prefer), every movie you can think of on instant demand ... whatever you want, it's here. Post and tell us what'd you'd like.
Plus, there's an infinite menu of whatever food or drinks takes your fancy. And it's all free!
To kick it off, today we have a special range of Monster Milkshakes - those thick gooey shakes topped with cronuts, chocolate bars, cake, cookies ... whatever you want. And if you can get through one of them, you're a legend (and probably feeling a little bit sick LOL!)
Welcome friends.

Hi Tara!

Aw thanks heaps. I submitted my assignment yesterday and did the test too. Yeah, my uni loves giving exams to students ha, ha.

Hi everyone,
Zeal- cool, looking forward to your post about changing your name. Sounds like an interesting story 😊
Ahw- long time no post ha, ha. But I guess you must be snowed under with year 12 assessments? Busy, busy.
James- hope you're managing and here's a hug (just because)
Everyone else- feel free to chime in!

Hi BB friends,
Day off today. I'm going to a party tonight so it makes for a nice change 😊 Might give myself a manicure before the party.
Then if the weather holds out, the beach tomorrow!

Hey Dottie,
I just put up a post, but it just states the username change. Funnily enough, there isn't an interesting backstory!
I like Zeal because it means 'great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective'.
All the best,
Zeal

Hi Zeal,
No worries ha, ha. I like the meaning. It's a very spirited username.
Thanks! I'm definitely looking forward to the party and the beach (weather permitting).

Hey guys,
Kakadu was AMAZING Dottie! It was super hot and humid and I was sweaty and sticky 24/7, but it was still amazing to observe heaps of wildlife and incredible Aboriginal artwork.I didn't get much of a tan though 😞 but I'm naturally fairly tan anyway so I look quite dark compared to my super pale friends! 😛 And yes, got a lot of sleep, I woke up at 10 (!!!!) which is really strange for me, being a normally early riser. Have fun at your party!! And yes, a manicure sounds nice 😛
Hello again ahw! Haven't heard from you in a while, hope everything is going well for you, and that your workload eases up!
Hey Zeal, I hope you're doing well and that you have been feeling quite zealous lately (ha ha ha).
Best wishes to all,
Tara xx
