Dear Gift
I hope you are fine, along with that bull terrier of yours. He is one mean customer for sure. I bet the excitement of approaching first year is all over you. That is only too normal.
I have to tell you about an aspect of first year life that you will undoubtedly face, that is, the issue of love. My friend, the ladies over here are something else. I have never seen angels but I bet they look like most of these girls . And being the romantic that you are, it will be easy for you to fall for one of these lovely girls. But unfortunately, the issue of romance here is not all about fairytale, stuff.
Seeing that you love stories, let me tell you one about myself. When I arrived at Rhodes, I met a girl who stole my heart. She was so beautiful I thought she was an illusio. She had a face to die for and a body to kill for with all the right proportions in the right positions. Swinging hips that reminded me of the rhythm of Africa. She made me think of roses and romance, romantic ballads and love poems. I could not believe it when she accepted my proposal.
But I discovered that beauty maketh not the lady. Pal, you are ware that like you, I am a teetotaller and I do not go to the clubbing scene. Well, I discovered that she loved spending weekends partying in clubs accompanied by a very disconcerting number of alcoholic beverages. Not to mention the enormous dent she was inflicting on my pocket by demanding to be spoiled and taken out at least twice a week. You know that in our country, abstinence is emphasised over the condom in sexual matters. Well, she began to pressure me to deliver the goods. My refusal to cooperate spelt the end of the relationship.
So my advice to you is be careful in this game of love. At university it’s a totally different ball game. Your financial muscle counts and in most cases, you have to deliver the goods. Keep the lady, eh, satisfied in physical matters. And be prepared to match her in terms of drinking alcohol because this place is an alcoholic paradise of sorts. My point is that you should not be blinded by beauty lest you are hurt. I know that you are a person who is really commited. Most of the girls want to just have fun and move on.
Well, you will see all this when you arrive. You would rather wait until you find a lady with a character that you feel comfortable with. I hope you won’t be carried away by these lovely girls. You will really enjoy yourself as long as you don’t do anything silly. After all, romance makes the world go round. Hope to see you here soon.
Your caring buddy
