Friends Cafe - social space for members under 25

[Kazzl]

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 James,

Happy birthday for when it is. I haven't been great I am under a lot of stress. I'm actually about to start holidays next week I have exams and then I am done for the year. My family is large so we don't go away for the holidays.

Thanks Luci (2 December).

Ah that sucks. I wonder, have you ever thought about or have already started your own support thread? Maybe it can help to have more people read your thread and post their support or advice (whatever you want). No stress, just thought I'd mention it.

Oh man I hate exams...how's the studying going? I used to be so bad at studying lol.

[Guest_2292]

hey James,

Yes, I have a support thread, I am trying to become more social so I thought I would use this.

My studying is going well actually, I don't actually mind exams. If I sleep enough I'll pass.

Hey Luci,

Cool, I am trying to be less social lol. Not that I'm very social, I just want more time to me! I keep getting pulled in to do things for people.

So what do you get up to in your spare time? I've been playing lots of board games recently and that's pretty fun.

Hi James,

sorry for not replying earlier, I have not had internet.

I can't spend too much time alone, I get into my own head too much.

I usually go to the arcade in the city in my spare time. I play a couple of board games. At the moment I've been playing Betrayal at the house on the hill, with my siblings.

Hey Luci,

Betrayal...what kind of game is that? Is it like a long term legacy game?

Have you ever played a board game called Patchwork? it's really fun. I also like 7 wonders

[Guest_2292]

Hi James,

Betrayal is a board that you have to manage your characters stats, two mental and two physical. discovering room tiles you can find items and something called omens if you can not roll higher than the omen meter than something called a haunt, this is where a player turns to the villain and is trying to achieve their own goal, while the heroes are trying to defeat the villain.

Hey Luci,

I actually saw betrayal in the board games shop the other day. It sounds really interesting! But oh boy the board game is expensive... 😞
