But it's haaaaard!

Blogging. While I am relatively new in Blogland, I already know how hard it can be! Hence why I didn't actually partake in theACTUAL blog everyday challenge, I chose specific ones to do (tehe).

Let's go: why blogging is hard.


1) How interested are people ACTUALLY in your life? I do the same things most days, come to work, do some work, go on the internet and go home. I could always try and pretend my life if super interesting, but that would be even more work.

2) You're trying to appeal to a wide range of audiences amongst all the blogs out in blogland. If you can make a successful one, kudos to you. You have cracked the code on how to interest people in your life! (No seriously, good job. You should be proud!)

3) I'm a lazy ass betch. I like writing and I like reading blogs, but sometimes (re: most of the time) I want to sit on my couch and watch netflix. But I know that I want to be able to look back on these posts in the future and see what I was up to so you know, I get over the laziness (sometimes).

4) Finding something to write about is the hardest part. You want something people will care about, but also something you care about, or know about. There is no point in making a post that you don't even like! I mean I could write an entire post about why I love subway but I don't think too many people would be interested in that...

On a final note, to everyone that actually did post everday in july, you are the BOMB. That's some amazing shit right thur. Keep up the good work.

It was nice tagging along for some of the ride!

Over and out.

Finish the sentence

Well well well, monday. We meet again..




While I have most definitely not been posting every day in July, this theme seemed like too much fun to pass up. Plus I needed to get something posted because it's been a while you.

(Also, please excuse the little bits of blog everywhere as I'm currently getting my layout edited and YEAH. I'm really good at the internet).

Here we go! Sentence finishing:


When I open the fridge, I always hope I find...
Subway. infinite amounts of subway.

My favorite article of clothing is...
Any maxi dress i own. comfortable and acceptable at work and for play. 

Last week I was really pissed when...
Whennn two of the houses I was supposed to go see were rented to someone else :( the saddest of times. 

One thing nobody understands about me is...
Why I have so much difficulty sleeping. Or why my migraines make me want to kill someone. If they don't experience it, they just don't get it. Fair enough I guess. 

One thing I don't understand is...
How people don't think them picking to spend all their time with their partner won't have a negative impact on your friendships. If you always tell me you're busy, I'm just not going to invite you anymore. 

The world would be a better place if...
France and Newfoundland were the same place.

If I had a million dollars I'd...
Pay off debt, give some to charity and move to Europe. or move someone to Canada. whichever.

If I could change one thing about myself, it would be...
I have a really short temper at times. Need to get that on lock down. 

Something that can always make me happy is...
French fries

Something I'll never blog about is...
not much I wouldn't blog about really

If I could go anywhere I would go...
Australia, Germany, Switzerland, just.. everywhere.

because...
there is so much more to see than just where I live!

If I were an animal I would be a....
sloth. They are basically my spirit animal anyway

A job I've always wanted is..
There isn't one job i've always wanted. it changes. Right now it's speech pathologist. 

My idea of a perfect day is...
Sleeping till 11, getting lunch at my fave restaurant then lounging. 

If I knew I'd die next week, this week I'd...
Eat everything. Quit my job and see as many places as I could.  Tell everyone every second of the day that I love them. 



So that's all she wrote! Enjoy your monday!

Long time no post

So I kinda sorta completely fell off the blogging wagon. I guess I deemed my life not interesting enough for people to want to read, without really realizing that at least I would be able to look back on what happened and laugh, even if no one else is laughing with me.

ANYWHO. Since my last post here I spent 5 amazing months living in France and travelling around Europe during an exchange program with my university. It was amazing. This time going away was a bit different because I wasn't going with someone I really knew. The girl I lived with I had worked with for about 3 weeks and that was it. So I was basically moving in with a stranger in a new country in a different language.

Safe to say, even though there were ups and downs, I had the time of my life.

I became the typical tourist:





Those are only a few. I managed to get to Amsterdam, Rome, Venice, Cinque Terre, Barcelona, Athens, London, Lyon, Paris, Prague and couple of smaller cities and towns in France. There wasn't enough time (or money because let's be honest I was buying at least one dress and more than one bottle of wine during each trip) to visit everywhere but I think I definitely made the most of my time there!

Oh yeah, I was also in school there but like, travelling, am I right?

I also managed to snag myself a French man
who I am beyond excited to go back and visit in October. 

As of right now, I am back home doing the 9-5, monday- friday life. It's not awful, I mean it's going to take me a while to get back into the habit of waking up any time before noon. It's good but extremely bittersweet to be back home. I am super happy to be back with my friends and family but I definitely miss the french life!

I think that's it for this update. I guess I should do some work.
