Hello lovlies!
This is quite the overdue post... Summer has left us for good, and autumn is certainly starting to come. It's getting cold outside, and the leaves are all turning yellow whilst falling to the ground. I have officially taken out my winter jacket again, and it is in good use already.
So life.. Since summer vacation ended, I started a new semester at University. Time really flies! I am now in my second year of my bachelor in History. This year though, we have to take a different subject, so we can get a wider specter of knowledge. So this year I am studying Science of Religion. It's really interesting, and so far I enjoy it. But like most subjects, it has it's dry points. Still, I am enjoying myself.
Now some of you might remember me talking about finding a new place to live, since I had to move out of my old place. And I have managed to find myself a very nice place to live. I rent through a student housing service, and am currently living in a collective with 13 other people!? so we are 14 all together. How crazy doesn't that sound? 14! I was so skeptical and worried before I moved in here. Like, what if I don't get along with anyone? Or, what is there are only annoying people living there? All sorts of different questions and worries were floating around in my head for about a month. Now I've lived here for about one and a half month, and I am really enjoying myself! The people I live with are just wonderful! I get along with everyone, and we have a lot of fun together. I get to be social everyday, and we make food together sometime. And it's so much better then I could ever have imagined it to be.
The collective I live in is a very new place. The building, which is 8 floors high, was finished this summer. So we are the first people to live here. How great isn't that? We also have a elevator in our building! I am so happy I chose to live here. Our kitchen and living area is spacious, we have two ovens and two dishwashers in the kitchen, so many people can cook at the same time. We also have a gigantic projector as a TV in the living room. The rooms are not the biggest, but they are not small either. You have enough space to function, and let me tell you the best part; I have a toilet for myself! Every room has their own, private bathroom!! Such luxury!
I think I'm gonna film a little room tour soon, so I can show what it looks like, I just need to clean it up a bit more first... x)
This was one of the best decisions I've done so far this year. I don't regret it for a minute. I am so happy. Life is smiling to me.
Now I am off to sleep, since I have an early lecture tomorrow.. Sweet dreams!
See you next time...<3

UK Vacation 2015; London Day 1
*Proper British accent* Good Day Lovely People!
It is now 6th of July, and the official day 1 in London. We were all quite exhausted after the long flights the day before, but we had ordered tickets for Madamme Toussauds which might show up from 9am, so we had to get up and be ready if the arrived. We got up, all in a zombie-like state, and got dressed, did our makeup and moved out into the streets.
We walked to the nearest underground, got ourself an Oyster card and took the Tube to Baker street. After getting to Madamme Toussauds, we found out that the tickets had not arrived yet, so we had to wait until they came by email. After a lot of going back and forth, they told us that we could just wait with the tickets, and when they arrived we could use them later. So we decided to save them for the next day. Instead we went to a park near by called Regents Park. Since the weather was really lovely, it would be a shame to stay inside all day. The park was incredibly beautiful. I really liked it. It was huge too.
Found the Sherlock Holmes statue!! :D The Greatest Detective <3
We went for a walk in Soho later, exploring the era looking for food. We found some bubble tea, and it was very good. Even though the tapioca was a little bit too much for me. Found a nice asian restaurant inside an open mall kinda place. It had really good food. <3
Then we walked around for a while and went down to Trafalgar Square.
Next stop of the day was Piccadilly Circus and then Chinatown London Market.
And a huge candystore <3
London Eye next!
We were super touristy sometimes ^^
Lastly we grabbed some food and headed home after a looong day~
Until next time..<3

Update; Rain + Makeup + Looking for Apartment
Hello everyone!
It is raining like mad outside right now. I actually kinda like rain, it's quite soothing. And it always smells really nice before/under/after the skies have emptied their watergates. It might sound weird, but apparently many people like the smell of rain. Rain is good for a lot of things; the soul, the nature and the all around wellness of the world. So many countries are in desperate need of rain and water, so I'm not going to complain about having too much of it. I guess what I'm really grumpy because of is the lack of sun and heat. Once you enter summer vacation, the body is kind of expecting summer weather. My body is craving sun and warmth, not cold and gusty..
So I am spending most of my days going once more into hibernation. Very few people are attempting to exit their houses, most people are just shutting themselves inside. I have only been going outside so that I could meet friends and catch up. Otherwise I have been entertaining myself with makeup and Midsummer Murder. Maybe the weirdest combination.
So hopefully the weather will turn around soon, before I run out of makeup or episodes to watch..
In about two weeks time I will be heading of to work at a raceway summer meet. I'll be frying burgers for a whole weekend. It shall be fun. This will be the third year I'll be working there. And I like it. I get to watch all sorts of cars racing around the tracks. So I need to stay healthy and not catch a cold before that, since I don't want to be sock while making food. Crossing fingers and tails that the weather will turn around by then.
I think I might have mentioned this in earlier posts, that I am looking for a new place to stay for next semester, and it is indeed quite stressful. I have found a pretty decent place, but I think I need to stay at that flat throughout the year. So I'm not really sure...
Other than that I am going to enjoy my long awaited vacation and spend the time to recharge my batteries.
Until next time.. <3

What do I do with my life?
Hello!
It is now the 1st of May! Almost halfway through 2015!! Time really flies.. Almost finished my first year of university. That's a weird thought, since it feels like I just started studying. When you notice how fast time flies, you often start thinking; "What am I doing with my time?" We are always told that these years are the best years of our lives. That we should enjoy it while we can. That we should just use this time to travel and discover yourself. I would love to travel and discover the different cultures and people around the world. Sadly money tends to play a big role when it comes to traveling. I could always just go backpacking and just randomly find a place to stay day by day, but I don't think I am spontaneous enough to do that. I kinda like to know that I have somewhere safe to sleep when I am traveling. Education is also something important that I would like to have, and the best time to get a proper education without having to spend a ridiculous amount of money, is when we are fresh out of high school. So of course I want to finish school and get a bachelor degree. It will always be handy to have, and it can function as a safety net later in life. So as much as the desire to travel the world is burning, I will finish what I started, and then I would really like to travel. But I don't want to plan too much of my future, because that's the magical thing about the future; there is no way of knowing what will happen. I try to take life a day at a time and enjoy it.
Life is really unpredictable, for example I have no idea where I will be living after summer vacation. My roommate and her boyfriend are moving in together, so of course I will have to find somewhere else to live. Now this wasn't anything that came as a surprise to me, since I knew he was moving here this fall anyway. But my point is that things always change. And the only thing we can do is face these new changes with a smile and an open mind. I know that I will find somewhere to live. I have already applied for a student dorm, but I don't know which I will get, so that is kinda exciting. It will be a new adventure in my life. And of course I know that I have friends who will back me up if I fail completely at finding a place. But come on, I will always find something. ^^ It always works out in the end.
When it comes to school, in fall I will be starting my third semester where I will be studying an extra subject instead of history. I will most likely be studying religious studies, not because I am a very religious person, but because I think it's very interesting to learn about the different religions that are around the world, and how they came to be. I am mostly looking forward to the south-asian religions with mainly hinduism and buddhism, but it is still interesting to learn about the others as well. This is also a topic that is very current. I think it's important to understand the way things function in all parts of the world, and that includes the different religious aspects, since it is such a big part of different countries' culture.
Until next time~

Back to uni again
Good evening!
Today we are 17 days into 2015, and I miss Christmas already. It's been two weeks since I got back to uni and started my second semester. The lectures are already going at full speed ahead, and in not too many weeks we gotta start writing one out of two big assignments, which I have to get approved, otherwise I won't be able to take my exam. So kinda freaking out about that already... On top of it all; this semester we have one subject in the antique and the history of Rome, and another subject about the Middle Age. The Middle Age is not so bad, I quite like it, but the history of Rome is hard. I think it's a little bit interesting, but it's just so much to remember. I really don't know how this year will go... But we'll just have to wait and see.
Here are some pictures from the past weeks, haven't really done much interesting since I'm trying to save money...
Well then I better get some sleep now
Bye Bye~
