Narrated by Belinda

Somehow I knew, even before he left, that things between me and Niels wouldn't last. As much as I loved him, and liked spending time with him, somehow I kept feeling like their was something holding him back. I would have never though he would just leave like he did though.

I can't say I don't miss him, but I have my studies to keep me busy, and since I'm a Junior now, my work is more than before.

I have Margot and Melissa to keep me busy as well. We go out quite a  lot, and I like those evenings when it's just the girls.

They both have boyfriends though, so at times they meet with them when we're out. They are both bery much in love with their boyfriends. Margot is much more reserved, but you can see the love between her and Jason when they look at each other.

Melissa is much more outgoing, and whenever she and Mario are together they are practically glued to each other. But Mario and Melissa don't meet as much as Margot and Jason so that migh be an explanation.

I don't like staying at home when they are out, so I ussually tag along, and entertain myself. Lately I've been meeting Dominic when I go out. He's a little bit older, but I really like him, a lot. I'm not sure though.

To get my mind off Niels, I joined a band, and even though I'm busy with my studies, I always make time when we have gig, or when there's an open mic night.

Dominic comes to almost all of those things, and seems to enjoying my preformance, and Margot and Melissa's company.

But I think he ussually comes for our talks we have when our gig is over. We can spend hours just talking about everything.

The reason I'm not sure about Dominic is Aaron. He's the drummer in our band, and he comes by sometimes even when we don't have to practice. I like him a lot as well, and love spending time with him.

Maybe I'm just not ready for something new after Niels' departure. On the other hand I don't want to think about Niels to much either, it was his choice to leave, not mine, and I need to move on with my life.

I'm not like Margot, who has her whole life planned out. She knows exactly what she wants from life, and has it all worked how she's going to get it. She and Jason are really happy together, and are already making plans for when she graduates.

It seems like Jason is on the same page as Margot, which isn't bad since they are in a relationship. Some time ago he asked her to marry him.

She of course said yes, and now their wedding is all they talk about, even though they plan to wait at least a year after she graduates before will be getting married.

Sometimes Margot and her well-planned life make me feel kind of insecure about my own hectic life. I kind of know what I want, but I don't have it all planned out. Melissa keeps telling me that there aren't a lot of 21-year olds having their life all planned out.

Notes:

• It was kind of strange but before I started playing this household, I was kind of looking forward to it. Like some of you already know, I never liked playing uni that much, so looking forward to playing my uni-household is kind of rare to me.
• It might seem like Belinda is moving on really fast, but I didn't see her like the kind of girl to mope around, so I let her join a band. She as attraction with both Dominic and Aaron, and she likes them both, so she's really not sure yet about what she wants.
• Both Margot and Jason had the want to get engaged, so I just let them. I do plan on letting them wait at least 2 years (Margot still has one year of uni in front of her, and one year after her graduation) before they get married. I might however let them move in after they graduate, but I'm not sure yet. Margot might also get a place with Melissa and Belinda. Melissa is very serious about Mario, but I don't see her as the girl to move as 'fast' as Margot.
