University is such a scary, unknown, uncertain, exciting time, with so much change. I can't believe there aren't more people wanting to write about it! It needs to be a genre! I know I would certainly appreciate books like that right now. <br /><br />It's funny you should mention Gilmore Girls, since I actually rewatched a bunch of the season 4 episodes before I started school. I particularly liked the episode where Lorelai had to come back to Rory's dorm again and again. Rory was always so perfect on that show (at least up until that point). I find that to be a nice, vulnerable, relatable moment for her and for the show. Most shows don't get entangled with university and if they do, it's silly, like in Gossip Girl (do those people really go to school?). I suppose Felicity would be an example of a real university show. In terms of books, I've read The Off Year by Claire Zulkey and Psych Major Syndrome by Alicia Thompson, both set in the college years, and both quite good. <br /><br />Also, thanks for the feedback on the relationship posts. They are a little scary to write, but also really helpful for me. They help me make sense of my emotions. Thanks for the encouragement.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294218830451159510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806865439214044302.post-22458868301097879132012-02-15T22:11:16.431-05:002012-02-15T22:11:16.431-05:00In one of your earlier posts, I think you mentione...In one of your earlier posts, I think you mentioned something about making 'new adult' happen (was that you??). In any event, university/college life is something not very often talked about (in the blogosphere and YA)! Which is why it's so great that you talk about it! I remember really enjoying season 4 of Gilmore Girls which was when Rory went of to university- something that I could relate to beyond the walls high school!<br />Also- your posts on sex and relationships are so no holds barred (and really well-written). I think it's pretty brave of you to have written about things so frankly!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410505763934790168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806865439214044302.post-60281980867218261732012-02-15T17:11:13.374-05:002012-02-15T17:11:13.374-05:00Okay to be honest, not your most interesting post....Okay to be honest, not your most interesting post. But i'm just glad you're posting so often lately! I loved your honesty in the sex thing/the first boy posts, the one about university wasn't too bad either, but since I go to university in europe where everything is completely different, I couldn't really relate.<br />The only thing I miss about your blog lately are the tv reviews which is how I discovered it in the first place. But other than that: I love your blog! Keep up the nice work.ranjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341343757867433157noreply@blogger.com
