Who needs a boyfriend?

Although I'm trying my best to get the traditional uni experience; the whole being in a new city, being surrounded by new people and subjected to insane levels of grossness in the flat kitchen, I have to say I've cheated the game a lil bit.

My home town is v close to Notts, about an hours drive out and although that is far enough to feel like I'm in a new country the truth is I'm not the only Stoke gal here. One is in my flat, and although we didn't know each other too well before coming to uni, it's safe to say she's defo going to be a bridesmaid when the time comes (IF it does ever come) but the other is my best friend from home, Georgia. Or GeeGee as I like to call her cos she is as hot as the real GiGi and I like to think us Stoke gals have some potential.

Even though we do the same course, and are almost always in the same city at any given time, I barely see her as much as I'd like to. It's kinda weird, but it's also kinda nice, cos it's literally nothing but giggles when we are lucky enough to have some us time.

I've known of her existence for like the past three years, but it was only within the last year that we got close, and we got suuuuuper close. To the point where on our dates I will literally order for her. We take in turns cooking and feeding each other on Thursday lunches and I'll walk her back to uni. I babysit her food shop while she's in seminars and best of all, I can count on her for an extended wardrobe. Half of my projects are fuelled by her, and we also have simultaneous break downs together. She's my throwback queen and I wouldn't change her or her sometimes questionable playlists for the world.

Soppy right? The amount of times we've said "Who needs a boyfriend?" is actually quite tragic.

Fast forward to the actual fashion related bit you'll notice that me and Gee have the same wardrobe. Literally, I was folding her clothes for her the other week and I even questioned if a body suit was mine even though I was stood there wearing it while folding hers. It's bizarre. I'm not even being dramatic, we have literally turned around before nights out and have been wearing a mesh black top, grey jersey skirt, ankle boots and the same belt. THE SAME. At college we used to have the same coat, and if it wasn't the coat we would be wearing the same colours, and if it wasn't the colours we'd be sporting the same bloody umbrella.

I just find it so fascinating how, with everything that's out there, we still end up in the same/similar stuff. It's not even like we can afford to be in fashion or commit to trends anymore, its genuinely finding that a top we've had since we were 14 are the same. It goes further than our clothes, like we're both 100% obsessed with metallics. Our uni rooms, without any actual discussion between the two of us, are pretty much identical. We have the same alarm clock and even the same hanging heart covered in tiny bells the only difference is mine is silver and hers is copper.

I can imagine us leaving our rooms in our second year house and one of us having to go back and change. It legit only took a week for us to turn up to lecture in the same coat AND a colour co-ordinated outfit. I try to push the boat out and go to an area in Zara that I think she might not like, but no we always end up with the same handful of potential buys and she always pulls them off better than me.

Other people who barely know us don't doubt me when I say that she's my other half, cos I even think we sometimes twin more than her and her actual twin does (but let's pretend I didn't say that cos I love Holly just as much)
