Oh the Places You’ll Go

    Yesterday I had the pleasure of going to a beer garden where my friend works for the first time. While sitting in the sun in the nice green and white space, I realized how infrequently I still explore this city I've called home for the past eight months. I can blame that on cost … Continue reading Oh the Places You’ll Go

Letters From Exchange: The One Where I’m Struggling (Again)

Oh, I know, I'm always struggling. Honestly, what else is new? I guess I just thought that I was doing better after my trip to Paris, and I am comparatively, but I was only really doing well for a couple of weeks. Now it's been a month today that I've been back and the last two … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I’m Struggling (Again)

Trying to Think Creatively

"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." - Maya Angelou I have hit a creative block. It's not particularly uncommon for me. These posts aren't too affected by it, because while I do put in a bit of effort into them, for the most part they consist of fairly … Continue reading Trying to Think Creatively

Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Only Have Two Months Left

There are only two months left to my exchange, and I have to say, I'm rather conflicted about it. On the one hand, I'm very excited to leave. That sounds bad, but I won't lie about it. I've chronicled to a silly extent how much the Norwegian winter affected me, and I am excited for … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Only Have Two Months Left

Inside My Weekly Mental Breakdown

Note: I do tend to have a weekly mental breakdown that follows almost this exact train of thought every time, only it usually happens at night. Today it happened while I walked to class, and I decided to journal it down. I'm not sure if it'll help you in any way or satisfy any curiosity … Continue reading Inside My Weekly Mental Breakdown

Spring Has Sprung

Wow Amanda, what an original title that totally isn't simply stating the obvious. You'd think I would get better at titles the more I write these posts and make my videos, but no, I'm still rubbish at thinking of good ones. Oh well. I hope you can forgive my lack of creativity. Anyhow, yes, this … Continue reading Spring Has Sprung

9 Tips To Not Sleep All The Time

Happy Monday, and welcome to a new goodie I'll be doing each week called Motivation Monday. I know, very original. I used to do MM videos on my youtube channel but have since changed my format and decided that they'd be a better fit here. Sound good? Great. Now that that's been introduced, onto today's topic! … Continue reading 9 Tips To Not Sleep All The Time

Letters From Exchange: The One Where I’m Antisocial

This week's been fairly productive, though admittedly I only really did anything on Saturday, so let me revise: yesterday was productive. Despite the amount of time I've spent sitting on my bum today, I do feel quite motivated for the days ahead and for higher productivity levels. I just really need to take advantage of … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I’m Antisocial

Confessions of a Fangirl (Part 1?)

I'm not sure if this is going to be a series on this blog or just a one-off, but as I have proclaimed myself in multiple videos (shameless self-promo: https://www.youtube.com/user/AmandaMarie59) to be a fangirl, ohh do I want to talk about it today. I'll be honest with you, fangirl is a term I'm becoming a little … Continue reading Confessions of a Fangirl (Part 1?)

Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Have a Monster Inside of My Chest

I have a monster inside of my chest. There, I said it. A monster. Some days it feels like a lion, some days a dragon, some days just pure fire. It changes form but it never leaves, because my body is its cage.  Yes, that's right, there is a monster in my chest and my … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Have a Monster Inside of My Chest
