loud music, regardless of the genre, and the feeling of the music shaking through my body makes me feel sick instantly. I am also claustrophobic; just thinking about being surrounded by hundreds of other students flailing their limbs wildly to the already-feared deafening music in a dark-ish room makes me nervous! Also, with regards to being social, I don't drink alcohol. Or any drink other than water. Not sparkling either; just regular water. (People used to say that this was a pretty good metaphor for me...). It's not a moral thing; it just makes me feel sick to drink anything other than water. However, all the media that I am receiving seems to imply that university, and Freshers Week in particular, is just going to be a combination of these three things; a huge drinks-fest in a really loud and crowded club. (Just want to make this clear early on; I'm not at all opposed to people doing this sort of thing! It's just not my cup of... water.) There are loads of other reasons to make people think I am boring as well: Spoiler: Other than being someone who doesn't drink, doesn't enjoy clubbing and likes peace and quiet, I don't have any major hobbies, I don't play or follow any sports, I don't usually talk a lot, I'm not familiar with modern music of any genre... or any music actually, I'm bad at video games, I have a serious-sounding voice and a serious-looking face even when I'm smiling,
