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 friends!
Finished my last mid sem exam today! So hurray for that 😊
Unfortunately, I still have an assignment due next Monday (the psych department have a twisted sense of humour to make an assignment due on the first day of the mid sem break!)
I'm giving myself Tuesday off (very rare in Dottie's world). No class that day, no uni work (that can wait a bit) and no paid work.
How is everyone else going?

Hi Dottie,
Yay - congrats on finishing your exams! I also have an assignment due on Monday in the mid-semester break!
I have a long way to go with it, and I didn't work on it at all today! I was procrastinating instead 😛
Good on you for taking a day off next week Dottie 😄
I have been feeling quite motivated over the past few days, but that will pass 🙂
I hope everyone else is doing well 😄
Best wishes,
SM

Hi SM,
Thank you!
Oh dear, it looks like our unis have the same twisted sense of humour to make our assignments due during the break ha, ha.
Glad to hear you sounding so motivated 😊 It will help with your assignment.

Hey Dottie,
I just laughed out loud when I realised I mistyped something from my previous post. I meant to say that I've been feeling quite unmotivated! It's amazing how much difference a few letters make 😛
Today is a new day though 🙂
Good luck with everything this weekend,
SM

Hi SM,
Ha, ha I was wondering why you were thinking that your motivation was going to be so short lived. Makes more sense now 😉
True, today is a good day. Thanks! Same to you!
I have work then I'm going to uni to work on my assignment today.
I'm really looking forward to Tuesday. Actually, I might give myself Wednesday off too. I'll get back into uni work and stuff next Thursday. It's nice to have 2 weeks sans classes though 😊
Hope you have a good weekend and say hi to The Boyfriend for me!

Hi peeps,
Thought that I would post as I'm feeling and a tad lonely and sad that I'm spending my Saturday night working on an assignment ha, ha.
There's a house party on my street & I can hear the loud music. Makes me feel a little pathetic that while other people are having fun, I'm doing uni work ha, ha,
I am beyond ready for the Summer holidays! Seriously, I am going to go out A LOT with my friends during those 3 months to make up for being on my "best behaviour" during the semester.

Hey everyone! I'm back! 😋
I actually got back on Friday/Saturday at 1 am, but this is my first chance at getting on my laptop!
Dottie! Congrats on completing your exams! I'm sure your results will be excellent 🙂 It's nice to hear you're giving yourself some days off, they sound well deserved. Your Uni really likes to make you work, hey? You go and smash those assignments to hell!!
Hey SM, it's so sweet hearing about your boyfriend, you're very lucky to have found someone who loves you and is so kind. I hope your assignments go ok!

Hey James,
I did! There will probably be a post up about this in the next day or so, so that people don't get confused! 🙂
