I think I'm actually starting this one by asking myself "what do I need to tell myself today?" I think I probably mostly need to tell myself to get out of bed, seeing as it's almost 6pm and all I've done is scroll through Tumblr and eat breakfast. I'd like to claim this happened maximum … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Write Myself a To-Do List

Letters From Exchange: The First One
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
Thoughts Before My Final (Word Vomit)
Why don't I ever focus? Do I just honestly care so little? I think my faith that things will always work out permits my general laziness to overtake any determination to focus on something that feels like actual work. Sure, tonight it's a youtube addiction, but if it weren't that it'd be Tumblr or something … Continue reading Thoughts Before My Final (Word Vomit)
Oh Oh Oh, Where Does the Time Go?
So I've been blogging for a while now, and I've accidentally gone from blogging two to three times a week down to about once a week. And I'll blame it on the fact that I started making youtube videos three times a week and how much time that takes up, except I don't make youtube videos all three days every single week because, well, I failed at keeping up that schedule as well. I haven't even had a lot of class, and I hardly leave my room, and I've barely written anything for my book since I started it. Where is my time even going?
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)
Money
I genuinely hate money. I need it, I want it, but I hate it. No matter what I do in life, I will have to focus on a way to get money, because otherwise I obviously won't have the means for shelter, food, and hygiene. Now of course the pursuit of money can be disguised … Continue reading Money
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
