1. Its casualness.

It's insane just how casual my college is, everything is casual! From the dress code, to the way people address each other, to everyone's mannerisms, to the fact that my lecturer just casually asked me "if I wanted a smoke"? It's the chillest environment ever, and I love it.

2. The people.

First it was all, oh God, what if no one likes me, what if everyone hates me, what if everyone's chained to their own uber-close cliques and I never fit in, oh God, oh God, what then?! And then next thing you know, you've made one them piss in laughter just because you were being yourself over dinner at London Kebab, you're helping a couple of them hold down a fourth person while they attempt to raze the poor chap with lip gloss and face powder, you've amazed and almost charmed the pants off them all. It's crazy.

3. The lecturers.

Cooler than any other teacher I've had during high school. Too cool.

4. Lunch dates with the aforementioned people.

Each meal is an epic fiasco. It's worth all the moolah that disappears every week.

5. The fact that the college is inside a hotel.

Crashing Dee/Azmi's hotel rooms to just chill. It's the absolute best.

6. WiFi everywhere.

'Nuff said.

7. The cafe's ayam penyet.

Seriously. It's amazing. When I leave college, I know I'll miss its ayam penyet so very, very terribly.

8. The fact that we have paintball tournaments, trips outside of the country, BBQs are private beaches and all those terrific things.

Yup.

9. Its location.

At first I thought, aw, crud, this is the run down area of town! Nobody ever comes here, the buildings here are so ancient and not in that cool, historic kind of way and I just, I don't like it. And then I realized it wasn't so bad. We've got a bowling alley, chicken rice, Charcoal BBQ & Grill, a freaking kebab stand, heaps of ice-cream for just a buck, Indian food, waffles,

Stuff I Don't Like (About My College, Lake Banana)

1. The library.

Only about a single 1% of its books are novels. And even those, I am not allowed to borrow. Aside from that, I get in trouble every week for being too noisy. I'm not sorry. I cannot get along well with silence. Also, I am convinced the librarians have a personal vendetta against me.

2. It's fecking expensive!!!!

Daily entertainment (ice-cream, lunch, dinner etc.) drills a massive hole into my wallet, I reckon I've spent about $70-80 and I've only been in school a month. It's ridiculous but, I guess, totally worth it.
