Being the first female in my family to attend university would be a great honour, as if would feel like I have actually achieved and evolved from the rest of my family. Maybe, the other girls in my family had different ideals when they were my age, but to beat my male cousins (the only other people to go to university in my family) would be like my mini contribution to the bra burning and women's rights.
I know that sounds stupid, but whatever.
I'd also just really like to attend university in general. I feel as if I'd really fit in their with the human rights activists who protest continuous, and the kids who sit on the lawn and read really thick novels about fantastic topics I couldn't begin to understand.
To be one step closer to getting that dream job...

Standing up to the bullies in one's life is probably one of the hardest thing for someone to do. For me, I think I have only stood up for myself a handful of times. For some reason, it has always easier for me to stand up for others rather then stand up for myself.
But once, just once, I need to stop them in their tracks and leave them to dry. I need to shock them into realizing the error of their ways.
Like in the Cyberbully film.
I dunno

So, I happen to be a fan of "substance over beauty and beauty within" and so this affects my taste in the opposite sex. See, some people I associate with don't understand this. They'd rather date attractive meat heads. Not that I'm saying that you have to be one or the other, just that they base choosing their companions on a physical situations.
That is not me.
I am in love with the mind. I'd rather have a stimulating conversation, or heated argument or actually be interested in what the boy is saying. This has resulted in me, as one of my friends would say, "chasing the nerds."
Hey, just cause I am not shallow. I like being challenged. I like conversations about things that I don't understand. I like the idea of seeing people for who they are (whether that be brave and kindhearted, caring and passionate or bookish and shy), instead of what they look like

On the weekend, 25 different schools competed in MUNA. MUNA is a mock United Nations thing, run by the Rotary. My school went, and we were given the unfortunate position of China. We got attacked a fair bit, but it was a great day. We got to dress up and make friends and argue, which, in my opinion are three great things.
There was one point where Russia quoted Mean Girls. The whole arena erupted into applause. It was amazing.
We may not have won, but some of the other schools have been participating for 10 years, and this was our first ever. We did an awesome job. It was also a massive confidence builder.
Thanks to all who were a part of today!

On Tuesday afternoons, I go to TAFE to do a media journalism course. I really enjoy it. We've always kind of been linked to the radio class as well, but we had never been in the studio or anything like that. Yesterday, their teacher was away so they combined with our class. For the second half of the lesson, we went into the radio studios and they quickly taught us the basics before we went on air.
I really enjoyed it. I'd never done anything like that before, and especially for me being as awkward as I am, it was a real confidence builder. I know no one listens to it, but it was still majorly enjoyable!

Have a movie style romance; at least once is number two on my list. Currently, I watch all my friends really happy with their significant other, and I'm happy for them. But, I wish I had someone just once, you know? And not that ridiculous, "I love you more, no I love you more" rubbish. That's just ridiculous. But, I want someone I can be a complete nutter around. I want to be able to be me.
I want a relationship where we can absolutely take the mickey out of one another, but still be happy.
My absolute favourite tv/movie romance would be Summer Roberts and Seth Cohen [the O.C].
The odds were constantly against them, yet they ended up married. Seth got the girl he'd be longing after for over 10 years and Summer got the guy she deserved. They fought, and made up like anything.
Gosh, please have that at least once in your life Claudia. Have a Summer-Seth relationship.
