CANCELLED CLASSES

Semester two of my year abroad here in Spain. I think by the end of this term I will only have attended 4 weeks of full classes. And that's not even because of 'Erasmus yolo let's skip woohoo!' I swear.

YEAR ABROAD SELF CARE

It's not really a secret that I seem to be struggling with my year abroad but I think that's probably because of other issues, on top of the massive amount of stress that comes with being uprooted. However, we are fortunate enough to be living in a time where mental health is becoming less and less of a taboo as days go by. At least not in the circles I'm in, both on and offline. A thing I see quite often online is the idea of self care - either things you prepare for your down days or things you do regularly to help yourself. So obviously me being me I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and write about what helps me out. Maybe if you're on a year abroad and also having a shitty time this could help.

UEA IS IN SIGHT

This morning (after a bit of drama and a flurry of emails) I picked my last ever undergraduate modules for my degree at UEA. I don't know if they'll be my last ever UEA modules because I'm considering a master's but more on that later on when I can make up my mind.

FILM RECOMMENDATIONS

As one of my new year resolutions, I wanted to start watching more films, and more decent films. I've been noting down everything I've watched so I thought I'd pick the best ones for anyone looking for something to watch.

C25K GRADUATION - WEEKS 6-9

I really did mean to post weeks 6&7 together but kind of forgot so here you are, a month's worth of run diaries. Today I completed the c25k programme and I genuinely don't think I've ever been more proud of myself. To think this started because I joked about doing the Great North Run and now I'm starting training to hopefully take part next year. Incredible.

ERASMUS YOLO

A certain attitude seems to have developed between myself and my friends. "ERASMUS YOLO" basically entails not caring about things being hard or stressful or annoying because we're on erasmus and yolo. 

GUEST POST: NEW GIRL IN TOON

The lovely Chloe over at New Girl in Toon invited me to write a lil something on her blog all about my love for the north east so if you're interested, head over here!

T MINUS 100

I have 98 days left of my year abroad. Except I don't. I'm spending 17 of those in England so I actually have 81 days left of my year abroad in Spain. I'm struggling to come to terms with the fact that this thing is almost over.
