This week I spent more time than usual hanging out with the friends I’ve made on my course. On Thursday we had the first-ever Islamic Society meet-up, which consisted mainly of talking, eating snacks and playing video games. It was the first time I’d ever really been in a group social setting like that, and I absolutely loved it. I’ve never expressed much interest in football, or Fifa, but I was invited to play by the friends I’m closest to on my course and, even though I had no idea how to even play, the feeling of sharing a memory with others and just passing time playing multiplayer game struck me as the moment I’d formed genuine bonds of friendship with them.
