Hey,

I've read the forum many times and finally decided to join today. I'm 19 years old, Female, and I live in a small town in Belize. I recently got my associates degree and I'm now waiting to hear back from UWI Mona. I would love to meet people who go there, or anyone around my age group that lives in JA and can tell me what it's like. I know life isn't all fun and games there, and I've never been there before, but I really need a change of scenery in my life right now and since I'm applying for school there anyway I'd love to live there permanently. I'm a very friendly person, and if by some stroke of bad luck I don't end up going to UWI I would still love to have some cool Jamaican friends.

Hey Nisha! Welcome to ETJ.

Its too bad our girl Nellie isn't still a member. She's totally your age and moved back to JA to go to school last year.

Thanks so much. This is my first time actually participating in a forum (I'm kind of a facebook addict). Don't wanna break any rules or get too annoying lol. But a little more about me.... I love to read, watch sports, go out dancing at clubs.....play Wii and the Sims (so addicted)..... basically i always try to have a great time anywhere i'm at especially with a group of friends. I'm extremely excited about going away to study and being on my own. I hope JA is as fun as it looks on RE Tv lol

Jamaica is like a diamond..its amazing..but has so many facets!! Not everyone gets the same thing out of Jamaica....but everyone who connects with the country gets something amazing.

Depends on what your into...but I think you will find Jamaica is a awesome place..and you will love it!!

Welcome to the forum! I am also a facebook addict!!

Thanks Ash! JA sounds great. Am I the youngest person to join? And whats the club/drinking age Jamaica? In Belize after you graduate from high school you can basically do anything you want.

Nisha, you can find Nellie on Facebook under Nellie Roxx.

And she was the youngest.....she was 15 when she started here.

I've never actually seen anyone ID'd in Jamaica..so I'm guessing the drinking age is not really enforced!!

Welcome Nisha! I'm a facebook addict myself although when I'm on vacation I don't watch tv, or use internet or anything like that.
