Broke in Berlin: Exploring the city on a budget

Ever experienced the excruciating pain that is a five week month? When pay day seems just so far away and in reality, it bloody is. Well, before me and Andrei went on our city break to Berlin, this is the situation us poor victims of retail were having.

Kind of relieved, kind of absolutely terrified: how do you feel about graduating this year?

It is with mixed emotions that I commence my last four weeks of university – well, actually only two if you don’t count Easter. Either way, I cannot pinpoint whether I feel completely relieved, sad, overjoyed or terrified. It is definitely a mixture of all four, but mostly the latter. I am terrified. Absolutely terrified about graduating. I feel like I should totally have my … Continue reading Kind of relieved, kind of absolutely terrified: how do you feel about graduating this year?
