Adrina Nikole Williams
Hullo, the name is Adrina, but I guess you could call me Addi, Adds, Rina, and in rare cases, Nika. I'm twenty years old and currently making my way through life as a college student.
Everyone who knows me will be able to say that I'm a little narcissistic, demanding, a perfectionist, and a bit of a gossip, but that I'm also pretty loyal, compassionate, sweet, and funny. They'd warn you that I love music, movies, my family, drawing, and hanging with my girls and that I loathe players, backstabbers, closedminded fools, teeneyboppers, and drama.They say that birth order has a lot to do with how your personality comes about. I suppose that’s right, in a way. Being the oldest, I tend to be a bit headstrong. My sister would tell you that I’m overbearing, but I really prefer to call it nurturing. She doesn’t understand how much pressure there is when you’re the oldest. Three words: live in babysitter. So really, can you blame me for being a little motherly sometimes?
I’ve been told I’m narcissistic. But really, I just like to check my makeup when I pass a mirror. Or a window. … Or any reflective surface really. A girl’s gotta look good, right? I can’t help it if I like to make sure that I look nice. Honestly, who wants to go to class looking like a train wreck?
I’d have to say the biggest part of who I am is the way I treat the people I love. Loyalty isn’t just a word, it is the only way to live. What kind of person lets down their friends? I would do anything for the people I care about, especially Saffy. That girl has gotten me through some tough times. She’s such a great friend.
Toughness may not be one of my strongest traits, I’m more of a shy girl, but try to harm one of my friends, and I will find a way to take you out.
Hell. What else is there to say...? I'm the oldest of the Williams's and often people tell me I look like Lea Michele, but I consider that to be a little farfetched, don't you think...?I was raised in the little town of Mansfield Woodhouse. Part of Nottinghamshire. My family used to love going into Nottingham and hiking around Sherwood Forest when I was younger. Is there really any wonder why I love Robin Hood?
My little sister was often left in my care once I reached the age of 11. I suppose my parents thought I was mature enough to handle her, but in the end it meant I didn’t have much of a social life through my teen years. Should I have made plans with friends and my parents decide they wanted to go out, my plans were instantly overruled.
I turned into a bit of a mother to my sis. Not that she appreciated it. Maybe one day she’ll understand all I had to do to take care of her. Even when Mum and Dad were home, they never really took much interest in us girls. I really think they only had children so they wouldn’t have to pay for a maid. I know I certainly felt like Cinderella at times.
Overall, I did enjoy my childhood. Mostly because of my sister. We became really good friends over the years, and that’s something that still continues, even now that I’ve left home.
She was so upset when I left, even though she understood my need to get out of the Williams house. Who could really take being the caretaker for the first 18 years of life, and not be dying to leave? So when I finally finished school, I was thrilled to go to college.
I chose London because it was far from home, and a complete opposite of the town in which I grew up.
I’m currently living in the dorms, but I hope to get my own London flat some day soon. My job at Starbucks isn’t helping much toward that dream, but maybe when I’ve finished school I’ll get myself a better job. Or maybe I’ll be able to find one sooner than that…
For now, I like my dorm. Not so much my roommates, but the dorm itself is wonderful. I don’t clean the common room – after all, I left the Williams house for a reason – but my bedroom is spotless.
Unlike some of the students in my classes, I love being at King’s College.
