Why I love Blackberry

It’s true, everyone has a Blackberry. Everyone knows that familiar Blackberry sound and looks around to see that person getting out their Blackberry Bold clicking away.
But Blackberry's got everything you could want on one phone. Who could ask for more?

1.      Different Apps on one phone – Who doesn’t love UberTwitter and the official Twitter app. I’m pleasantly happy with the TubeMap, MSN and BeBuzz Free. The Facebook app is okay, it gets the job done.

2.      The red-blinking – Having something that tells me if I have received something is a lot better than constantly having to pick up my phone and check.

3.      Music – Unfortunately I don’t have an iPod so I put literally all my music on my phone, it can hold so much (just swap the headphones).

4.      Having my emails on my phone – It’s a lot better to just check my phone than having to log onto my computer when I’m running late for university at eight in the morning.

5.      Socialising – I love the fact that I can talk to anyone on the go using one phone, whether it’s email, BBM, text, twitter, facebook, Google Talk.

6.      Web Browser – I know, the web browser is shockingly bad but, if you link it up to a wireless network the speed improves (if only a little bit)

7.      Has your screen broken yet? – Yes, the Blackberry has chipped but has the screen cracked yet? The amount of times I have dropped my phone on the floor, heart in my throat thinking ‘this is it; I’ve cracked it,’ only to find that it’s just chipped. Phew.

8.      Blackberry Messenger – having Blackberry messenger is good if you used to spend a lot of money on texts. Now I can just PING them and talk for hours for free!

9.      Organisation – With a Blackberry, you can’t be un-organised. The calendar is great for someone like me, who likes to be organised as well as putting all my emails in one ‘Message’ folder or, splitting them up.

10.  Blackberry’s are cool – let’s face it, the new Blackberry Torch is cool.

You can’t deny Blackberry’s. You’re hooked no matter how much you find it annoying.

Second Term

Hopefully by now, you’re out of your holiday phase and you’re ready for a new term. If you’re anything like me, you missed some of your first lectures in the first week that you were back because getting out of bed at 7.30am was physically impossible.

The second term will probably be different than the first. Last term we were meeting new people, getting to know our subject and our course mates, drinking more than you ever have before and trying to stay awake in lectures after a heavy night out. You were turning up still drunk in your lectures, making horrendous meals and going out every night just to see what night was your favourite.

This new term could be good or bad, you’ve now gotten your head around what nights to go out and your housework skills are improving, but there’s still uni work to do and so your new term leading up to April is all about work, assignments and deadlines.

Being at university at first was so much about having fun and figuring out how it all works. But I’ve settled in now properly and with this new term and timetable (that makes it extremely difficult to go to my favourite Tuesday nights out), it’s all about adjusting. I’m having to organise my days better so I fit more in – so long Jezza Kyle – I actually have to work today.

There should be no excuses for turning up late or missing the bus (but it happens). Also, I have a small but improved knowledge of making meals for myself without meals that you can add chips too.

I’ve been at university for about five months and I’m still adjusting, still trying, but isn’t everyone?

However, this new term seems promising…
