Bought my first car a couple of days ago. (Here's a picture! The 'UGH' registration plate is hilarious.) It's only had one owner from new and is in really good condition, I feel like I got a pretty good deal with it (£425). My one criteria when looking for one was that I really wanted it to have a sunroof, and it has one 
No one seems to understand how excited I am about the sunroof. It has a cassette tape player because it's pretty old (1996) so I've been going through my parents music collection and finding albums that I like, and I bought a couple on eBay for £2 ish as well. So far I have Led Zeppelin's fourth album, Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction, and Neil Young's Harvest.
I have a bunch of blank cassettes too so I'm going to make some mix tapes at some point
I finished my final assignment for university this year today, so I have May through October to fill. It's pretty likely that I'll have a job working front of house at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, so that's something to look forward to! It isn't set in stone yet though, still have to wait to hear back about it, which I should do in the next couple of weeks.
It's been a year today that I decided I wanted to quit MapleStory too. Took me until July/August ish to actually figure out the logistics of getting rid of all of my gear and trying to make sure that my guild/boss squad would be okay without me, but it was the end of April that I decided I'd had enough. My life has improved considerably since I decided to stop playing MapleStory, but I still don't feel bad about sticking around for so long, which is good. When I was thinking about quitting I was anxious that I'd regret it, but I don't at all.
Also I finished reading A Song of Ice and Fire a few months ago, and god damn, am I looking forward to seeing the rest of season 5. My group of friends don't mind spoilers so I've been talking them through the differences between the novels and the show, but I'm trying not to give everything away. They keep asking about certain characters and I just sort of mumble and change the conversation =P
