My whole college experience was turned upside down a few weeks ago: besides credits from the actual curriculum, we also have to receive six credits through a chosen activity. That activity can be tutoring, going to events at the local Goethe Institut or taking extra classes. Most people chose the latter. There's a whole bunch of simple classes to choose from: funshopping, casino strategies, first aid classes. But I was stubborn and decided to go...
Not mine, Bryleigh's By now you must have noticed that I post my award posts weeks after I get the message that I've been nominated. Almost a month ago, Bryleigh nominated me for the Infinity Dreams Award (thank you Bryleigh!). Today I finally found the time to do this award post, so I visited A Little Yarn Blossom and copied the questions from Bryleigh's Liebster Award in disguise. For a little while I was seriously...
Lately I've been searching the web for quick and easy posts that turn out to be totally awesome if you add a little twist to it. Then Bryleigh from A Little Yarn Blossom showed us her workspace. It was the quick and awesome idea I was looking for. Only one problem: with finals coming up, the place was buried with textbooks. But a quick throw-everything-under-your-bed cleaning session later, I can now present you the one and...
When my Grandpa was in hospital last week, I had to do something, anything, to keep myself from worrying. With reading impossible and writing pointless, I decided to do some cleaning up in my room. This was also a hopeless case, since I found a beautiful piece of high school memorabilia: my old notebooks from my Latin classes! Pretty soon I was reading all the stories and poems I'd translated. And as I read some...
The fifth task of the Winter Wonderland Challenge was to write about January. I saw the word 'write' and thought: This is right up my alley. But as I picked up my pen, words wouldn't come. At first I was procrastinating a bit and when I gave it a second try, I just didn't get into the zone, if you know what I mean. That's probably because my Grandpa is in hospital, having trouble with...
Quite a while ago, my awesome friend Neal Kind from Daily Diaries nominated me got the Sisterhood of the World Blogger Award. Funny, 'cause he's a dude. By the way, I'm panicking. No idea why I'm telling that. Maybe it's some adult anxiety kicking in. Can you imagine me living on my own? My god, the apartment would be a mess within days. And I can't cook anything else than lasagna... Okay, focus. Back to...
There is this gland in your brain that makes melatonin. Melatonin makes you sleep. And sleep is a thing we all adore, don't we? But if this gland doesn't make melatonin, you've got a problem. I've got this problem. Before I started blogging I thought this was a huge problem. Then I discovered the brain waves occurring late at night, when I forget to take my melatonin pills. When I'm riding one of my brain...
"Ten!" "Nine!" "Eight!" While everyone in the GMT+1 time zone was counting down to 2015 and while everyone in the Netherlands was eating an oliebol or apple pastries, I was panicking. Sure, I'd seen the clock tick away the minutes that were left of 2014, but... It was over before I knew it. And I felt like I wasn't ready. I'd spent the day tying up loose ends; finishing my book, running my last race,...
