Anonymous asked: What is your opinions on sex at your age?

Emm why are you asking?? I think it completely depends on the people and their relationship. I don’t think it’s a good idea to have sex with strangers or outside a relationship at this age. (In fact, I don’t think it’s right at any age) If people really love eachother and want to be closer (yes I know I’m being cliche) then I think it is ok. You both need to be completely ready and prepared mentally though. I’ve seen the effects that having sex without being ready has on people and it seriously damages their subsequent relationships. So yeah, sex can strengthen a relationship if it is strong, it can damage it if it’s weak. I’d say the best way to be sure is to be overprepared mentally.

Anonymous asked: How do you manage to separate your dreams for your future and college from the dreams of your friends and boyfriend? I want to study abroad too but I'm scared of leaving my life behind

I don’t think I’ve got that far yet. Like I’ve said-If you’re not in it, you can’t win it. I am applying but I don’t think I’ll know what’s best for a while…I’m hoping it will just become clear to me. I have so many beloved friends and a boyfriend who I love too but like you said: I do separate them. For now anyway. It may sound strange but I’m just enjoying the application process at the moment and all the excitement around it. I would be happy with a few acceptances. Those, in themselves, would be achievements. Who knows what I will end up doing. Oh, I do kind of have one ‘code’ thing for myself. My boyfriend will never come into my decision. I decided that long ago. In order to make the right decision for me, I can’t have my boyfriend clouding my judgement. I’m in no way denying that that’s hard to do. Hope that helps in some way….:P

Anonymous asked: What are your plans for college?

What a great question! :)

Well….I would absolutely KILL to go to the States or the UK. I took my SAT yesterday and I think it went ok-ish….If I could have my dream come true I would somehow win the lotto and get into Columbia University and/or Brown.

My number one choice in the UK is St. Andrews. I am also interested in Glasgow and Bath. I’m pretty sure I want to do Psychology (possibly with a language). In America you can take any classes in 1st year and that would really suit me as my interests are broad-ranging. :)

If I stay in Ireland, I WILL go to Trinity. I don’t think I’d be happier going anywhere else. My Dad works there as a professor in Computer Science, my parents got married there and I spend a lot of time hanging out around there. That is most realistically where I’ll end up going. My attitude to applying abroad is ‘if you’re not in it, you can’t win it’. So that’s why I’m getting all my applications started now. Here’s hoping something will come together for me. :) Thanks for the question!

Got some volunteer work with Headsup.ie :) It’s an Irish website that promotes mental health. I think I’m going to get to write articles and do some promotional work and stuff.

I can’t wait! :) Nothing makes me happier than helping other people. Sure, I haven’t been achieving as much as I used to or am capable of. But there are more important things in life. I want to be remembered for how I made my friends lives easier. How I helped people work through their problems. I want to be an approachable and open person.

I’ve needed help in the past and I was granted it. I can honestly say that I have never been happier in my life than I am now. There are still some loose ends…..but I’m working on it. The great thing about helping other people is that it helps you to help yourself.

I’m becoming increasingly convinced that this is what I want to do with my life. Help people through their day to day issues. If anyone ever needs advice/help don’t be afraid to ask. I will do my best to help you :)
