How to... add a little glitter

 I live in an almost total girls-household so everything seems to belong to everybody. That caused that I regularly can't find life-saving stuff, such as my tweezers. "Are these mine?" "No mine!" "Bullcrap...their Mom's" - on a daily basis. To avoid this I decided to make my stuff unique for example by glittering them up.
 Three easy steps to always knowing what's yours:

We love... Pretty Sucks

Okay. Pretty doesn't suck. Maybe a little. In case your not pretty. There is nothing like not pretty! pretty is awesome! Flours are pretty. Trees. Roofs. Clouds. Rain. Citys. People. Pretty is everywhere. What else is pretty? This awesome brand called pretty sucks.
They make shirts and bags and a lot of other fancy stuff! Their quotes make me crack up every time.

Always be yourself. 

Unless you can be a unicorn. 

Than always be a unicorn.

We Love... AWKWARD.

Because it's so real! Awkward. is a MTV Show starring a High School teenager whose life is truely awkward.
 Jenna Hamilton used to be a quite normal teenager. Until she became "That Girl" that tried to kill herself. Accidentally. Adding up with the fact that she lost her viginity to the hottest guy in school and now having him as well as his best friend fighting for her make the whole situation arround the young blogger more awkward. What else is awkward? Let's see...

1. Her parents. They're kind of awesome. Far too young to be parents, what makes them kinda hilarious because they're a little swamped with all the responsibility and how to deal with the whole parenting thing.

2. Her BFFs. On the one hand we have Ming. A chinese girl who has trouble dealing with "The Mafia" because she's not a staight-A-student in contrast to all of the other chinese kids. On the other hand there is Tamara. All crazy, hyperactive and simply amazeballs! She has kinda her own language, parts of which you can check out on the pic.

3. The guidance counselor. She is...ineffable! Clogs and fannypack included. You have to see her!

4. Jenna's life. Of course!! All messed up with secrets, little white lies, gossip and random High School crap.


Summing up it could seem as if it's just another one of the random High School movies. IT IS NOT! It's down-to-earth and straight forward, hilarious and touching all at once. It's simply awkward.

How to survive a class Trip

Greece! 13 days, 12 students, 2 teachers.

You may have wondered why I haven't written in quite a long time. Now you know: I'm in Greece with my Greek-class. Yeah, right. I'm the freak who chose to take Ancient Greek instead of French. Don't ask me why! 

 The good part: the trip to Greece. Which I am on right now. It's an incredibly beautiful country, but as we all know class trips can get awfully exhausting. So here are my tips for surviving - no matter if you go to Rome, Greece, France or elsewhere!

          1. Don't you dare to forget to charge your iPod! You're probably going to spend a lot of time in the bus. And even if not: you won't sleep in a single room! So there are going to be talking, joking, annoying kids surrounding you close to 24/7. Also you need a soundtrack while admiring the beautiful scenery. 

           2. Feel free to make your free-time me-time! Of course you don't wanna miss anything. And yes - it's fun to explore new places with your friends. But you spend your whole day walking around cultural valuable places and have a lot to process. So nobody's going to blame you for taking some time of. You're going to be surprised how relaxed you will feel after taking an hour of alone-time!

           3. Take your most comfy shoes! Don't let your vanity win. Your feet will probably be white/ not as tanned as your legs BUT in a group of more than 10 people nobody cares about how bad your feet hurt. Plus tan lines make you look sportive ;)

           4. Let your evenings become unforgettable. Well yeah, you have a curfew. But still there is hardly any place on this earth that isn't amazingly beautiful by night. So - even if your tired - make the most of being where you are with whomever you're there. And even if you make use of tip #2 don't lock yourself up in your room. Go to the beach and count the stars!

          5. Take a sweater! When the sun goes down it can get real cold. Even when you had 36 degrees (Celsius) the whole day. Also the air conditioning in busses can make you catch a huge cold! 

          6. Try to be on good terms with your teachers. They will trust you. And if you wanna have fun even though you are on smallest space with the watchful eyes of your teachers better be nice. Or pretend to be. To be trustworthy is equal to possessing the key to freedom!

          7. Try 6. with your fellow students. It's not the same as in school where you have half of your day at home - you are trapped with these kids 24/7. Get to know them. Some of them are more interesting then they seem. If you have enemies now...check if your room's locked. Twice!

          8. Don't gossip! Or at least try to. Rumors spread way to fast when everyone's caved in together. And once again: beware of enemies...! 

          9. Choose your roomies wisely. No explanations needed, right? :)

Hope you have tons of fun on your next excursion! 

Kisses from Greece! V
