The College Experience: When in Vienna...

10:39 AM / BY Envy
During the rough days of my internship, I had one thing to look forward to: the obligatory trip to Vienna. According to our official looking 'curriculum manual', this trip is all about discovering the beautiful Austrian culture. Main goals are learning about the school system, language, food and culture. Sounds great (and a little pretentious to be honest), doesn't it? But if you put a group of 36 college freshmen and sophomores in a hostel...

Some Writing in Second Person

8:19 PM / BY Envy
When I asked for suggestions for blog post topics, Tudda Pudda wasn't the only one who helped me out. Bryleigh from A Little Yarn Blossom came with an awesome idea too. Writing in second person? Never done that. It's something I've wanted to try for quite a while, but I never did anything with it. Mainly because I didn't have a clue what I should write about in second person. Lcuky for me, Bryleigh helped...

Avenger Fans Assemble!

***THIS POST IS SPOILER FREE*** It's that time of the year again. The birds are singing, flowers are growing and I am fangirling at the top of my lungs all day long. Why am I fangirling? Are you seriously asking that? Of course it is because the endless wait finally came to an end last night: the Avengers: Age of Ultron premiered in the Netherlands! It was my first time going to a Marvel movie...

I asked you guys for help on Twitter and the amazing Tudda Pudda was the first to respond: I don't do anything before I sit down to read, except telling everyone to shut up because I want to read, but...

Eight Awesome Ways to Blow your Blogging Money

8:54 PM / BY Envy
Growing up, I never realized how little money my family had. We spent our Summers in California, I always had more clothes than I could wear and my birthday and Christmas presents were always top-notch. Now that I'm older and responsible for my own finances, I realize my parents don't have that much money. It's not like we're poor, but I want to be able to support our family. That's one of the reasons I...

The Mystery of the Easter Cookie

9:40 PM / BY Envy
My family is not religious, so when I was a kid I had no idea when it'd be Christmas, Easter or Ascendence. Okay, I knew it was almost Christmas when my parents dragged a huge freaking tree into the house, that much was clear. And Ascendence was when my Dad came home from a run with some kind of injury. For some reason that was an annual event, just like putting up the Christmas tree....

Make it Happen, # 9: Learn Spanish

7:51 PM / BY Envy
For some reason I always wanted to learn Spanish. When I was twelve I wanted to learn Spanish because I was going to Costa Rica and I couldn't go anywhere without annoying the locals. When I was fourteen I wanted to learn Spanish to prove I was smarter than all the other kids in my class (I really had my priorities straight back then). When I was sixteen I wanted to learn Spanish because it...
