I’ve decided that I’m going to start my life over…
And I’m going to be a Swede.
That’s all.
I am obsessed! How are they so much more superior to the rest of the human race?!
I think that I tend to overthink things (ha) and that I make things into a much bigger deal than they are, a thing that is truly draining my energy these past few weeks.
I haven’t had the time to really sit with a good book, to explore a new place, to just sit by myself. Every moment possible, I cram with some kind of social interaction, and whenever I have those in-between moments (those 30 minutes before one appointment to the next, that 2 hour block between dinnertime and going out)—I find myself at home, absolutely restless. I can’t just be.
And every social gathering becomes a game, of sorts, although I wouldn’t say a game—more of a burden. In a new group of people, it’s: who do I know? Who should I know? Who should I know more? Who knows me? What new connections can I make, and like I said, while it’s thrilling to be able to meet around 10 new people per week, really meet (a pretty legendary number compared to other places)—it’s draining and having a social circle akin to a revolving door is not the most settling life.
When will it stop? When I decide to make it stop, but I haven’t reached that point of knowing what’s good for me yet.
I suppose that thinking I could consistently blog everyday was silly of me. But after an eventful week/weekend, I overcame my shame (have been avoiding my tumblr out of guilt) and came back on to say: I am so grateful for all the experiences I’ve had this winter/spring, and all the amazing people that have gone with me to all the incredible places I’ve been.
I just found that I’ve been accepted to both my first and second choice of schools (the top two schools in Taiwan, I might add) and an exciting future lies ahead. Though Chengchi University is known to have a better Business Administration program and more well-developed international student departments, I’ll be choosing Taida, or National Taiwan University.
Why?
Because it’s sooooo pretty! (see photo above, no instagram filter needed).
This is pretty much how I make major life decisions, and I can’t say that I mind.
More adventures, more fun, more experiences, more love!
I want to hold a dinner here, what do you think?
I want to hold my wedding reception here. Hey, every girl dreams.

I don’t know if this is from Taiwanese influence, but I’ve taken up the habit of wearing dresses recently….good for my style, bad for my wallet…

“You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they’re as dull as a brick? Then there’s other people, when you meet them you think, “Not bad. They’re okay.” And then you get to know them and… and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality’s written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful.” — Amelia Pond (via thatkindofwoman)
