The Most Colorful Time Of The Year: Autumn

 I love autumn and all the charming things it brings to our world. It's a natural order and I love it how it just suddenly changes everything. The leaves, warm sun and hot chocolate make the new school year easier to get by and the cuddles are a required all the time (I just wish I had someone to cuddle with). Nowadays people only crave for summer and don't appreciate the beautiful things nature offers us. I think we should enjoy each time of year. Speaking for myself, I could never live in a city only with one season: for example California. It's nice to go there on a holiday when you're kinda sick of all this crap here, but it's important that season change. Although it might seem a bit dull at first sight, when you look deeper it's not that boring anymore; it's quite interesting. It's exciting what you can find in the woods, all the magical things that appear only in autumn. We have to start appreciate all the wonderful things nature gives us every season. "Everyone should have themselves regularly overwhelmed by nature." - George Harrison quote says and it is so true. We should just stop and look around and be grateful that we are here, capable of doing things that we can. Of course from time to time everyone has bad days, it's kinda important to have bad days because without those you just can't face the bad sides of the world either. You have to strengthen yourself and with going through the rough days is the best way to be like tenacious and immune to the evil of the world. But on the other hand you can't live in a shell, hiding from the world. You can't pick your comfort zone and stay there forever, it's just not the way to live life. You have to get out of your comfort zone because that's where happiness lies, that is where you will find the meaning of life and what's worth living for (actually each individual finds their own reason but never mind). 

 But with time, we also change how we think. It's proven that through summer we think positive, we are happy and carefree, while in the colder months we crawl into our hole and we shut ourselves out. It's funny how we sometimes do it subconsciously. If you think about it it kinda makes sense; through the summer there is no school, no obligations, hot days and sun shining and you have so many things to think about like boys and flirting and being sexy. But when the year's coming to an end, when days are shorter and nights are longer, we are forced to think about so many things we still have to do for school or job, thinking about ourselves because there are not so many chances to go outside and enjoy warm weather. Although some people still preserve the light and the energy by the time everyone else kinda slows their rhythm. And that's a good thing! But I'm more like the second type of person; I wake up more tired and pale then ever (I look like a freaking vampire), I hate the grey sky that is becoming more often occurrence each day, I get irritated quite easily now and lots of other bad features I'd rather not tell. But then we, again, adjust and get to know with the weather and everything's fine again.

Student Exchange 2013: Barcelona, Spain

This is my first student exchange ever and I am super excited. Since I chose Spanish as my second language (besides English), professor gave us an option on going to Spain for a week; learning more Spanish (you always learn more in real life than textbooks) and besides the draft for the presentation that we're going to compose in this one week, which is going to be grated, we're going to gain lots of experiences, make new friends and get familiar with the life in Spain. Myself and other ten from my class are departing on Tuesday. We are first going to ride with a bus to Venice, from which we are flying to hot Barcelona. Here is a list of things that are planned for the upcoming week: Parc Nou Museum:  from what I can see from the Google photos, I am overwhelmed by the beautiful nature surrounding this gorgeous park. Croscat volcanoes:  I always wanted to see volcanoes from up close and I'm thrilled and freaked at the same time since I've never seen a volcano before....

The Best Things In Life Are Free: True Or False?

We are constantly surrounded by statements like: "The best things come free." and all that positive thinking along. But is it really true? I mean, I get it that when people say that they mostly mean things like love, joy and friends. These things do, however, come free, but by free it's mostly considered as not including money. For all these things that I counted, true dedication and believing yourself are present and these kind of things are what truly makes a person rich. Not money, not some kick-ass career (that may have influenced on your inner self, though) or super yachts. It's something that comes from within and that really takes effort and time to possess. And to get there, it actually takes a whole different kind of price for what you really want. It demands hard work that is often not quite what rich people own. There is a beautiful quote by Patrick Meagher: "Some people are so poor all they have is money." And that is, sadly, often correct. Peopl...

Movie Review: The Constant Gardener

Long time no see! Yup, I am back or rather - I'll try and keep posting regularly as much as time will let me. Things have been a mess lately and it has been hard keeping up with life's pace itself, let alone finding time to write. But, now I have something juicy to write about, too. Since I'm completely done with all those cheesy romantic comedies, I've decided to do write a review on this one. I've decided to watch this movie simply because of two reasons: 1.) Ralph Fiennes (needless to say why, though I shall explain it to you with great enthusiasm: he is one of my favorite and one of the best actors there ever lived in my humble opinion) 2.) It's not a cheesy romantic comedy (like I've said before, I am finished with those). And I loved the movie for multiple reasons which you will get to know with in the next couple of paragraphs. I think I've always loved that kind of movies, but I end up watching the boring ones with hopeless romantic teenagers i...
