An interview with my Best Friend

Hello, Emily here, sorry for being awol from the blog momentarily. I went on a spontaneous trip to Birmingham for a few nights to combat being alone in Falmouth. Thank you for your crazy response to my last interview episode, I can't promise this one is quite as juicy but I hope you enjoy what Lucy had to say and I'll be back with another blog post soon!

A few weeks ago I had my best friend Lucy come and stay with me in Falmouth. We ate lots of good food, drank lots of coffee and even attempted the 13 mile coastal walk - but that didn't last very long thanks to the Cornish rain...

Seeing as I had her with me I thought I'd ask her a few questions for my blog.

The Interview:

What is something you did as a child that you wish you did more of now?

🧡 Not spend so much time on my phone.

What's been your favourite age so far?

🧡 15/16 was a good one, a lot of firsts for me.

What age do you feel right now and why?

🧡 I definitely don't feel 20, thats way too old... my quarter-life crisis is coming early.

What was your first job?

🧡 I worked in a semi-fraudulant book re-selling 'company' in this old couple's house... it involved making second-hand books look better and selling them as new. The man was sufficiently creepy and safe to say I lasted a solid two weeks I think.

Why did you choose your university course, French and History of Art?

🧡 I'd come this far with French I figured it made sense to see it through as well as wanting the opportunity to live abroad for a year. For History of Art, I wanted something to go with French and it was a bold move because I knew no-one who did it/ what it involved exactly... but I was intrigued and I'm so glad I did as it's my favourite part of my course and I've made some great friends through it.

What's one thing you wish you knew how to do?

🧡 Probably play an instrument (more successfully than my grade 2 in flute).

What are you most proud of?

🧡 I like to think that when I set my mind on something I don't give up easily.

When have you felt the lowest in life?

🧡 Various points in my teenage years but lets be real that's all hormones and confusion for everyone.

When have you felt the happiest in life?

🧡 When travelling with friends/family- Washington, Berlin and Paris have been some definite favourites.

What's the most romantic thing you've done/received in your life?

🧡 In terms of material things, a certain very personal piece of jewellery. For other things, it's the little things that really stay with me and there's too many of them to write here.

Biggest Regret?

🧡 Big cliché but I don't tend to have regrets; you can learn from everything or in the very least have a funny story.

If you had a chance to do-over in life what would you do differently?

🧡 Same as last question, everything happens for a reason.

What's one thing you look forward to in the future?

🧡 I'm excited for next year and finally getting a hang of the whole french thing. Anything beyond that is one big question mark, both terrifying and exciting.
