I'm going to preface this for any readers that, as I often enjoy using this blog as a diary of sorts, I will now continue to do so in letters to myself entitled "Letters from Exchange" (I suppose that title will have to change when I'm no longer on exchange, but I can't be bothered … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The First One

Travel With Me: Milan
Here is the second installment of my travel with me vlog/blog hybrid, from when I went to Milan. Fun Facts: That delicious pizza doughnut is called panzerotti and the place I got it from is called Luini Panzerotti. Yum. Apparently that mural we were looking for has had so many tourists spin on the bull's … Continue reading Travel With Me: Milan
Travel With Me: Amsterdam
So recently I posted that I was going to post a video and a blog post about each place I traveled to in December and January, but as I found trying to type out a full description of the stops a bit tedious after filming a long video about them, I have decided to instead … Continue reading Travel With Me: Amsterdam
Walking in a Winter Wonderland (Lillehammer)
A two hour train ride can take you north to Lillehammer, a lovely little town known for hosting the 1994 winter olympics and being the setting of Netflix original Lilyhammer. If you've never seen or heard of the show, the premise is essentially that a mobster moves under the witness protection program to Lillehammer because, well, no one's going to recognize him in this small town in Norway. I can say it really is that small.
Welcome to the Darkness
Woah, Nellie! Where did the week ago? Oh, that's right, I spent it watching The Nanny. Netflix has done horrible things to my motivation. I just found this post on Tumblr that says "Laziness fuels more laziness. Activity fuels more activity." and I have to say nothing else could better describe why I haven't blogged … Continue reading Welcome to the Darkness
Quirky Cultural Differences (#6)
This is long overdue, and becoming less quirky with time. I just really like the title. Sue me. Not to complain about my own life back home, but undergrad is significantly easier here. The selection and quality of cheese is pitiful. I've come to (sadly) understand that frozen burritos are a North American thing. Skin … Continue reading Quirky Cultural Differences (#6)
An Update
I'M NOT DEAD I PROMISE. And I am still 100% dedicated to this blog. Life has just been a little crazy lately, traveling and what not. I recently got back from a short cruise to Copenhagen. My friend won two free tickets, so we couldn't complain that it was 17 hours there, 5 hours on … Continue reading An Update
Music for Writing in Ikea
What's the silliest way you've ever spent a day? What about the strangest place you decided to study? For me this is right now, in an Ikea in Oslo. My friend and I had the idea a couple of months ago when we were still coming to Ikea regularly to buy things for our dorms. … Continue reading Music for Writing in Ikea
10 Quirky Cultural Differences in Norway
I thought I would share with you the video I made about ten of my favorite quirky cultural differences from the series of posts I've made on this blog. In the video I elaborate on some of the things I've noticed with stories of why they're strange or annoying to me, so if you like … Continue reading 10 Quirky Cultural Differences in Norway
Quirky Cultural Differences #5: Norway
This one is long overdue. No one believes in top sheets here. Ikea doesn't even sell them. You have a sheet over your mattress and a blanket, that's it. Girls in the changing rooms are 100% okay with nudity. In fact, most people don't realize that most North American girls think that's weird (we all … Continue reading Quirky Cultural Differences #5: Norway
