Pretty soon I'm going to have to title these something else, because my exchange is certainly coming to a close. To just jump in and address the title, I am starting to stress out quite a bit. It's my own fault, really. Well, it's a combination of having a lot going on and procrastinating proactive … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I’m Starting to Stress

May 17th: Norwegian Constitution Day
A little over a week ago was May 17th, the one national holiday out of the year here in Norway that has nothing to do with religion (there are a ridiculous amount of ones that do have to do with religion). I managed to get myself out of bed for a 10am parade (a big … Continue reading May 17th: Norwegian Constitution Day
100 Days of Self Love
I swear I didn't forget about this Motivation Monday, I just got really into editing my new video. Whoops! Anyway, a few months ago I made a couple of posts relating to self love and specifically my lack of it. The first post was a rant which led to a deep dark spiral of hating … Continue reading 100 Days of Self Love
Just Keep Swimming
I know I just posted a book review (it was supposed to go up days ago) but I couldn't leave you without a bit of a Motivation Monday. The book review came late because last week was two parts productive and one part a shit show, with multiple days spent working on blogs and videos … Continue reading Just Keep Swimming
Letters From Exchange: The One Where I’m Done With Classes
I still have one final exam and two final papers, but as of today I am officially done with lectures in Norway. Once those finals are done I'll be 75% done with my bachelor's degree. Wow. Three years can sure go by faster than you'd expect. I suppose it hasn't helped that I've been moving around … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I’m Done With Classes
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
