Motivation
Being back home and working the 9 to 5 has completely destroyed my motivation to do anything else. I get home from work being so tired and exhausted and I end up doing nothing. This must be what it feels like to be an adult, to have a fulltime job, to wake up early in […]
Staying Hopeful
I think at the time like this, a time where terrorist attacks seem to happen on a weekly basis it is very important that we stay positive. Both as individuals and as a society. I think that giving into the hate and violence will make us just as bad as them. And we will be […]
Black Lives Matter
So I’ve been debating whether or not I was going to write this blog, and after contemplating it for over a week, I knew that I had to. Its so sad that in the 21st century we (black people) still have to fight for civil rights almost 60 years after the Civil Rights Movement. This […]
What a Week
So in the last week, the UK public voted to leave the EU. That was the most heart-breaking thing for me. I was in so much shock, I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that there were more people who wanted to leave than those who wanted to remain. I was so certain that we’d […]
Referendum Day
So today is the day. The day we’ve all been stressing about, the day to finally decide whether we leave or stay. As I wrote in my previous blog, I am 100% remain, yes I know that the EU is not perfect, but the UK is better off in the EU. So today has been […]
Reflections
So I’ve finally finished my year abroad, and I’ve not really had time to do much reflection because I’ve been so busy unpacking and getting myself ready for work. So I decided to take a few minutes today and actually reflect on my year abroad, the good, the bad and the amazing. I have grown […]
Austria, the land that…
So this week, I’ve been in Austria, visiting friends that I met during my Erasmus, friends who were only in Strasbourg for one semester. And although I love Austria, I don’t think it’s a place that I could see myself living in. First of all, there is a lack of multiculturalism. As someone who is […]
Should We Stay?
These past few days, all I’ve been hearing is talks of the EU Referendum, and people asking me if I’m going to vote, and if so what am I going to vote for. For me the answer is pretty simple, yes I will cast my vote and I do want Britain to stay in the […]
Fashion
So this week, the weather has been absolutely amazing. Sunshine all round, everyone dressed for the weather in beautiful outfits. This is when I realised that Strasbourg is very stylish, the kind of style and fashion sense that beats Paris and might even rival London (I said might). All throughout winter all that was seen […]
Goodbyes
So it is nearing the end of my ERASMUS and my friends have started to leave. This week I had to say goodbye to one of my friends and it was more difficult than I anticipated. I knew that my year abroad would come to an end and that I would have to say goodbye […]
