I recommend Girl Scouts if there's a Unit in the College. Don't laugh they do cool stuff.
*takes note of Tayto's recommendation* Ta
I don't know whether they have student committees for organising charity fundraisers etc...Miss Kaytee did that at Uni ( that's how she knows Will Young)
Hope you're ok Charli. I remember my first night away from home and sharing with a stranger. I was forced to go and missed Barry so much. It was only a stupid Secretarial thingy in the days when typing and shorthand were important if you didn't go to college or get the banks or the Civil Service.
I was in bits and my room mate was really cool and talked about hash!!!!!
We were staying in a Convent that was converted into a hostel for this college. It was awful.

There are charity fundraisters everywhere
Though I am yet to find one here
There's community service stuff but I need to fit that between lessons/fourming/sleeping.
Speaking of which, I'm gonna have a lie down before this meeting

It is
I had already lived away from home for 4 years before I went to Uni when I was 22. I also already had my son, so I wasn't even really alone. It was still a tough move.
Oh no no no no no I wasn't going to bed (not with this meeting
), I just needed to lie down
So I'm back for until the next time I decide that i need to rest
Tayto I'm glad you're roommate ended up being a sweetie

That was a quick lay down
She wasn't a sweetie Charli. A lunatic more like. She thought I was a stick in the mud and didn't talk to me properly for weeks. We went to the pub one night and it all changed. We got on well after that.
I got bored.... whaddya expect?
I'm sorry I got mistaken Tayto I suppose I can be like your roommate sometimes
I suppose I can be like your roommate sometimes
That was the quickest lay down...ever
night
By my standards of course it was Kaytee
Night night Ros
I hope we get fed at this meeting
When I went to uni they gave me a Uni owned house to rent, as I had a child. It was the most depressing place I've ever lived. Even now I can't put my finger on what the problem was with that house, but just being inside it depressed me. 
It had the smallest bathroom you've ever seen in your life.... it had a bath fitted width ways, and it filled the whole wall. I had no idea you could buy baths that small. I had to sit up in it.

I have visions of Charli lying down and getting back up again as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Sounds like a shower that one Ducky I can imagine small bath tubs but standing up in them oh my god
Well, it's as if your uni had you (and your son's) interests at heart... even though it wasn't five-star

It was a great relief to not have to house hunt.
Very cheap rent too.
You lot know full well that head-on-head-off the pillow moments are rare
And yes, my battered debit card's coming with me to the meeting

That takes guts.

Can't have alcohol in the US until you're 21 Tates. I remember student food. Pasta and 1000 ways with mince

He was four. I tried to time it so that he would be starting school the same year. However I forgot to take into account the differences in school systems county to county.
He didn't start school till the Easter. It cost me a fortune in student loans to pay for the child care. It was a difficult three years. I took some time off after I finished to just be a mum again. Then I worked part time till he was 12 and then trained to teach.

I did ponder on putting pasta in instead of beans but pasta hadn't reached the west of ireland at that stage.
