Since that in my last post I talked about my parents (mostly my mom and a bit about my father), I guess it’s only fair to talk to you about the rest of my family and other people in my life. And yes, I am using The Lizzie Bennet Diaries to orientate myself through the first diary posts. I mean... it’s already hard as it is to reveal part of my life online but at least I am trying to cover some of the essentials right at the beginning.

And to be honest, that way, I can complain about people easily and you will have something to check every time you need to make sure who the hell am I talking about. Wow, I am being very sure that someone will actually spend their time reading my sort of diary... I don’t know. Maybe you find it interesting even though I am super shy!

And thanks to a friend of mine, I found the name I will use. My name is Nora and this is my family!

I am the oldest child. And a girl! What doom! Seriously! Just to be clear, I am a very typical girl with some nerdy hobbies. I was pretty smart in school and guess I still kind of am. I have my days and college is pretty tough... I love reading (lacking time to do so lately is another story), marvel movies, mythological creatures, long walks or go for a run and, I also have a serious crush on Ben Barnes since I was little (don’t judge me!).

I mentioned that I am an Engineering student but didn’t specify. I study Food Engineering. Long short story, I was aiming to study Nutrition but my grades were not as high as I needed so I found something similar to try and actually enjoyed it enough to have been studying it for the past 4 years of my life.

As I said, I am the oldest one and if you read my last entry, I have a brother. Yeah! A younger brother! I will call him, Lucas here. Although I can be sweet in order to please certain people and mean to protect myself from some commentaries, Lucas takes that game to a WHOLE new level! He is basically the perfect son! Although he pretty much ruined his score this year. Lucas is 19 and just got into Med School after spending a year studying to be a Vet and trying to raise his grades, he failed and got into a college far from home. His “girlfriend” got the highest score though and took his place by getting into his first option. I will go into detail about her later, but back to Lucas... He is the kind of kid who was very cute and polite but as soon as adolescence attacked him... Oh boy! He turned into this really snarky kid (not in a good way) with superiority complex which thinks being a Med student makes him better than the rest of us, mere mortals! Unfortunately, he is also my mom’s baby boy and she will protect him no matter what... even if it is from me.

We are currently not speaking and haven’t been for the past year almost. Weird I know but try to keep up. We used to accept each other at least until he got into a relationship with my ex-best friend. The girl I mentioned earlier? That’s her! Let’s call her Vicky! We were close and in a very toxic friendship. It took me the longest time to accept such thing and later had proof to show Lucas and prevent him from getting hurt... Did he listen to me? Hell, no! He actually helped Vicky upsetting me even though she distracted him enough to pass him in all classes. I am not speaking to her also although she still has her hands wrapped around my brother’s heart (and brain I guess).

Sorry, for the exposition and try not to get me wrong. I am all for my brother having a girlfriend! I mean, part of me loves Lucas. He is my baby brother still. But considering she was the main reason for us to stop talking and for him to lower his grades, I do not support him with her. Mostly because she made this happen and also because I would enjoy having some sort of relationship with my brother later on but until she stops being in the middle, that might take a long time. And also they barely knew each other and she was still dating when they got involved. Not the best start in my opinion.

And speaking of my ex-best friend... I should mention one of the best people in my life, greatest friend and part of my family in a very distant and confusing way: my cousin, Rose! She is like a best friend only better because we are kind of opposites I guess... Rose is exactly the same age as my brother but with a very different attitude towards life. She currently plays the role of my best friend in my life but poor her, she already has a best friend to keep her busy so let’s not give her the title of my BFF.

She is crazy, I am rational. She is dramatic as an artist, I am dramatic about life (just for fun of course). She doesn’t care what other people think, I tend to wonder about that a lot even though I mostly don’t mind. Opposites but always understanding each other. If only she was my younger sister...And I hope she is in my life to stay because there is no way I can survive without this lovely human.

And of course, there is my dog! A crazy beautiful German Shepherd named Alana. She is my best girl for sure! Keeping me company when I study, read and go for a run. I will talk about her a lot in the future! And about my grandma too. But this entry is already long as hell so I will mention her later as well as my father.
