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 ahw,
I hope you've enjoyed your relaxing weekend after trials! I am very well, thanks, and I hope you are also. Today I had lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in months. He was interstate and overseas this year for sport tournaments, so it was nice to catch up and exchange news and stories. I went to a friend's 21st last night (she's the youngest person in the group of people I spend time with). The set-up was amazing, as she studies design and put most of it together herself. It was a fun night 🙂
I hope everyone else is doing well: Grace, Northshore citizen, and anyone else reading...
Best wishes,
SM

Hi everyone,
First time visiting the cafe 😊 Thanks Kaz! Great concept.
To be honest, I'm not sure what I'm doing here but I guess I'm feeling lonely so wanted to visit.

Looks like I'll be pulling an all nighter. Crunch time as mid sem exams are just around the corner & I need to get on top of my notes.
I'm kicking myself for not organising my notes sooner...hence the all nighter tonight or more like this morning now. Anyway, I better stop procrastinating and get to it. Hello dark circles when I go to my morning tute.

Hi Dottie,
Welcome!
Feeling lonely is a great reason to visit here! You can talk about your interests, about activities you've been doing recently or are doing today, and so on.
I'm spending today finishing an essay on massage therapy, and will go to uni for one tutorial. Tonight my boyfriend and I are going out for sushi.
Have a great day!

Hi SM,
Thanks for the warm welcome!
You certainly have a nice, varied day ahead of you; a good mix of study and personal life. The essay topic sounds interesting. Yum! I love sushi! You and your boyfriend made a good choice 😊

Welcome dark unicorn!
You may of course get cosy and read (or do homework)! I have a fair bit of uni work at the moment, as it's my last semester.
I hope you are having a nice week 🙂
