I was highly suspicious about this but after watching I am absolutely inspired.... Watch!
You mustn't give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get...

My FIFA WORLD CUP
This time 4 years ago I had gone back to Durban for my June/July break and was immorally depressed! I had left all my friends back in CPT for what could only be described as a season of complete mayhem. The feeling of absolute emptiness I felt when landing in my home town was completely apparent to my poor parents when fetching me from the airport. I sat on my couch while watching the opening game with an intense feeling of FOMO and wondering how on earth I was going to get through this holiday.
Alas, the phone rang and I was dragged out of my very juvenile "sulk" and into a after party of the first game... the rest was kind of history. My World cup memories were indescribable to say the least. I met some of the most amazing people and we formed a solid "FIFA" group. I say this because not only did we watch most games together, there was always a FIFA tournament on playstation happening, everyone was constantly dressed up in their selected teams colors and the vibe was just electric. There was always a point during the holiday where somebodies parents were away so the houses would be taken over and turned into students digs. We were never apart for longer than the odd person going home for clean clothes or a drink/food shop. The complete holiday was nothing less than one of the greatest times of my life and I was very blessed to have shared it with such a wonderful group of people. My whole point of this is simply, whether you like soccer or not, this is one of those times when people really do come together from all walks of life. You can create such solid bonds through supporting a team in sport. It sounds a little bit "out there" but why do you think boys always have the best "bromances?" because they become 100% involved in each others opinions on the specific sport/team/player. It's actually highly entertaining to watch, but the camaraderie that comes with that is great.
It's not going to be the same as 4 years ago because its not here, but in my opinion, it is still very easy to keep the spirit alive. Make those missions to come together and watch the games... even if you hate the sport. You never know who you will come together with... from my experience its a no lose situation!

Predictable 24...
I'm attempting to do this next post using this fancy new cell phone app... so just preempting a few spelling/grammatical errors...
I was going through all my social media bio's and having a good cringe at most of them... in every single one I describe myself as wild, forever young, free, forever 22 (I don't know why 22 came in here) wild heart, never thinking with my head...you get the picture! I have been told my entire life that I was Peter Pan and that my head was always floating in the clouds - living in Neverland one could say. I have always enjoyed that...it has helped me make some very creative excuses as to why I was never good at maths, or why I chose not to go to university straight away because of a boyfriend, or why I am constantly spending money on things I just don't need, I do all this why? Because I'm a free, wild spirit!
However as I am no longer 22, the ink of my fresh "Finding Neverland" tattoo is starting to fade into my skin, I no longer have the money to spend on frivolous things, love and all that becomes a much more difficult and short lived joy because we're all in that limbo area where commitment takes so much more strength than it used to and I need maths, everyday! I also am not sailing around the world, or hiking through foreign mountains...no, I go to an office everyday 9-5 and I sit in meetings and have managers...it seems very far off from my existence in Neverland!
Am I disappointed that my life never developed any chaotic colour or magical whims? No I'm not... I get to form solid and everlasting "commitments." These commitments range from relationships to residency to getting healthy to being able to seriously focus on you as a person...sounds corny but it's matter of fact. I might lead a semi predictable life, but as I've said before, for me that was always going to be the adventure... predictability was going to be my challenge and as it turns out, the benefits if this life have been incomparable!
One day I'll sail off to Neverland... (cringe) and I'll have another type of adventure, become the wild spirited girl again...but for now, borderline 24, im really happy being predictable!
