About Me

So, about me. Let's start. I'm Justine Elise McNamara.
I'm 20. I go to Griffith Uni on the Gold Coast, and just finished my first year of a Bachelor of Arts degree, of which I have transferred to Bachelor of Communications
I'd love to be a journalist one day. My reason for living is to go to concerts and festivals, and one day it would be lovely to get paid to do so. Hence the journalism thing.
I live at Nexus, and have met the coolest people in the world this year. Special mentions to Anna and Rob, my fellow Unit 6 residents, as well as Maz, Brony and Sam who spent so much time in Unit 6, that they may as well have lived there!
I like nothing more than being able to sleep in. A lot annoys me, but I get annoyed by people more than anything.
A lot confuses me, but I tend to realise that what I don't know isn't really worth knowing if it doesn't change my life in a great way.
I have new found respect for Justin Timberlake, people who can still live in Grafton and not go crazy (there's nothing wrong with living in Grafton, by the way. It's just not for me), people who have the patience to be able to work in old people's homes and those who can have children and not kill them.
I'm single, and I'm fine with that. I have too much living to do!
My best friend Kate lives in Sydney. Next year, I hope to live there too. If I get into any of the good Communications courses at any of the good Sydney Universities, I'll pretty much die of happiness.
If I'm going somewhere, and it means I have to travel in anything other than a plane or a car, then I'm really not interested in going there.

A blog to clear my mind

So, by now we all know of the concept that "everything happens for a reason." But if everything happens for a reason, presumably good, what is it that makes us so angry and hurt about the things that ...

A few things to think about

I don't know what it is, but today I've been feeling weird.. Thinking about all this "what if?" sort of stuff-What if I never become what I want to become?What if I finish Uni and don't find a job any...

I crossed the great divide- all the way to Newcastle!

Ok, so this is how my day went.I got up, and drove to Brisbane airport. Got there, but went into the wrong parking area, where you could only pay by credit card- which I don't have. So I had to revers...

Sylvia Plath...

So, I've just finished reading the book "The Bell-Jar" by Sylvia Plath. I did some reading on her, and found out that she tried to commit suicide a few times in her life, and finally succeeded by turn...

Going out the night before work- why it’s a bad idea.

1. Customers seem to be able to tell when you're hungover and get more annoying accordingly. 2. Headaches at work aren't good. 3. You smell bad cos of the alcohol seeping out of your system and custom...
