Socialising

I had my weekly social with fellow MA history students today, which is very therapeutic, as an MA in history can be the loneliest thing in the world, even lonelier than the number one. Unfortunately I realised that as I spend more time studying, I merely become more opinionated and argumentative in person. Oh dear, books can be dangerous things.

But one thing I did find bizarre today was one of the Give it a Go events the Union is putting on. Why would any girl who clearly has brains (otherwise she wouldn't have been offered a spot at a Russell Group uni) want to spend their time naming erotic lingerie? I'm no prude, and whatever people want to do with their hard earned money is their prerogative, but I just don't understand why you would go to a good university for events like erotic lingerie shopping, it seems a bit pointless. Surely you good do that anyway in spare time? Use your fleeting undergraduate years (and they go far too fast...hence my MA) to do something stimulating, which may help you develop and understand yourself more.
