Hi, my name is Janine and I've taken part in a neknomination. (Hi Janine)

I'm a second year UCT student, majoring in food and partying along the way.

I'd like to see myself as having the mystery of Boba Fett and the stability of a 57 year old librarian. My outlook on life is much the same as the crop top I wore to Tiger - I know it's somewhere, I just haven't found it.

I'm still not sure if I'm quiet with noisey times or noisey with quiet times, but I'd like to think of myself as being assertive. Assertive with my own food choices. Other than that, I'm absoluetly cluesless.

I grew up surrounded by many kith and kin which brought about many large functions. These happy times often felt like scenes from The Hunger Games. The last bowl of Aunt Bernice's creamy brussel sprouts naturally being compared to the nightlock berries. From the glorious encounters with these chow down sessions, I became obsessed.

My Instagram account is continuosly flooded with #foodporn as well as #skinnylove. My heart says "gourmet burger" and my mind tells me "Cara Delevinge's body". Being a student isn't the easiest time of one's life. Thinking about which outfit to wear is difficult when you are trying to figure out how to save money to fulfill that sushi crave you've been having since third period last Thursday.

Although I condone every student's first year spread, I do feel that second year shed is more than worth while. Saying that, I won't flood your feed with any more unnecessary fitness tips. You can get that from photoshopped bum and stomach pictures on Tumblr. And in all honesty, I can finish twenty levels of Candy Crush in a faster time than doing a downhill 5km run.

Being one of many family members, I have learnt how to save cash, I've been exposed to all types of food and I've been shown the difference between glutten and wanting to live a long life with the people that surround me.

I aspire to create this blog like a Long Island Cocktail, add many different angles and ingredients, but land up with something that's delicious and leaves you weak at the knees.
