OK, I have been at university for a week and boy have I had fun with the height questions and statements. I have had roughly 50 encounters but I have mainly joked about it as I do not want to drive people away from me! But I have also had some fun with it. A student in the lift turns around and says the classic…

Her – “how tall are you!”

I replied “5 foot”

She replies, “No you’re not I’m 5’2”

I replied, “wow you are so tall”

I have mainly been nice and polite to people but sometimes I do use the sentence “Nobody has ever told me that before!” when the observer is particularly rude.

This leads me onto tall questions such as Why are you so tall? How tall are you? Do you play basketball? And finally, how’s the weather up there? It has become so predictable that I am convinced that I have been stopped more than most celebrities. Do I play basketball? Now funnily enough no because everyone else is 6’4 + and have better coordination than me. The weather joke is the most unfunny statement a person can possibly say! and will probably be on the receiving end of a shower of sh*t.

I really need to try to be more positive as my flat mates keep telling me about my negativity. Starting from when this blog post is published although Elin is currently ranting at bargain hunt!

If I was to define my Portsmouth Freshers week then I would mention Mario in a trolley and elf on a shelf memes. So far, we all get on well and to be fair to my parents washing, ironing, drying and cooking is incredibly tedious. I would say the hardest part of university is juggling house work with course work, luckily, I can fit through the doors. Just not the shower!
