I LOVE to TRAVEL, EXPLORE new places, take every OPPORTUNITY, and to LIVE LIFE like an ADVENTURE.
In four days, my friends and I are off to THIS place in Turkey. I can't wait!

A different story?
So tomorrow is the last exam of my degree...can you believe it..possibly the last academic exam I will ever do...or at least I hope so! Its been a long and very difficult JOURNEY which started three years ago as a somewhat young and naive 18 year old. I had no idea about the turbulence of EXPERIENCE, the ups and downs and that time of plain "no feeling" I was about to go through. But then, I guess you never do. It always seemed to me that the story of my university experience seemed different to that of the popular "the best time of your life" experience that many had professed to me. Don't get me wrong, I have had some AMAZING TIMES but this has been by far the most DIFFICULT journey I have ever undertaken in my 21 year life so far.
On the bright side, this difficult journey has also given me a great many POSITIVE things too. Its been a huge LEARNING curve. I've learnt many things, not only about my subject but also about life, other people and about myself. There are certain aspects of these things that perhaps I wouldn't have otherwise come to think or realise without having gone to university. Though, perhaps it has also all been a part of GROWING up anyway. But what I do know is that they may have been fine-tuned differently. This experience has been what it is and I think I have grown from it, though I would never knowingly choose to go through it again.
Sometimes life is full of CHOICES. Sometimes it is not. Sometimes there are times when bad things happen and all you want to do is RUN away. But when that happens, I assure you that the only way to "run away" is to look it straight in the eye and say I am going to try my damned hardest to get through this, you will not defeat me, I am going to JUMP this hurdle!
I have also come to realise that this is NOT such A DIFFERENT STORY. I now know that many people have been through similar experiences during their university careers and in life generally, but I also know that many people have not. The point is...you are NOT ALONE. Everyone's story is DIFFERENT and SIMILAR. This is MINE.

A pretty picture
Today, I realised you don't always need a canvas board to paint a pretty picture.
Beauty can be found in everything.
