I love music. I love singing, I love playing guitar and I’ve always, always, got a song stuck in my head (at the moment it’s Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball”, unfortunately, although I think this cover is really beautiful). However, I prefer working in silence. For my studies I have to read a lot, and I get distracted quite […]

One of my best friends spent the whole of last semester in Newcastle, studying abroad. I really missed her, and am glad she’s back again so we can get back to watching (Disney) films, drinking tea and talking for ages.

Is there anything better than waking up to a sight like this? Everything covered in white, looking like a winter wonderland? I hardly think so! It made me very cheerful (which is quite rare for me in the morning) and “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” has been stuck in my head for […]

Christmas has come and gone again, and I hope everyone has had a great one! In the Netherlands we’ve got First Christmas Day on December 25, and Second Christmas Day on December 26. In other words, two days of great food and fun! On First Christmas Day my entire family came to celebrate Christmas at […]

Today I went home to my parents’ house to help them put up the Christmas tree. We’ve got a fake tree for a few years now, but that doesn’t make it any less fun to decorate it! We put on some Christmas music, I decorated myself with a sparkly garland that was too hideous to […]
Read MoreThere’s a storm going on where I live right now. A few weeks ago we had quite a big storm as well, and back then I decided to just stay inside all day. Today, however, it’s Saint Nicholas’ Eve (as you might have read about in my previous post) and I’m going over to my […]

As you might (or might not) know, I’m a student of English, and that means lots of reading. Right now I’m taking a literature course on Modernism and through that course I’m coming across lots of interesting literature. This week we had to read a poem by Oscar Wilde, and I loved it straight away, […]
