London changing my prospective

Image
London experience is pretty much over, graduation will be the last trip to the red buses city. Eight months have gone through and all I know is that I’m now back to Frankfurt, one of my homes, my lovely home. In these 8 months in a business school with people form that side of the society I almost didn’t know existed and I really don’t belong to, I learned not to stop at the front page of a person. I remember calling at home after the orientation day and been asked "did you make any friends?" and I almost went in to panic I started talking to my family about how hard it looked to approach someone and how everyone was wearing big brands, how ridicule different I was feeling from the people in the school. Out all those people that looked extremely wealthy, with no problems to spend £50 for dinner, I looked for the most normal ones (with my concept of normality) so that I could spend my time with my schoolmates in the most enjoyable ways. I ...

How to be a broke student in London

Image
London is for definition an expensive city! This said, all your money will go to your rent and the public transportation, so I will tell now how I live well in London even being most of the time broke. EATING Lunch Of course eating at home of cooking and bringing your food to school is always the cheapest idea, but if you are a student, most of the time you have no time for cooking, so I normally take the meal deal from the supermarket (there is one near my university) which normally includes one sandwich or salad, plus a snack (I like to take fruit or carrots but you can even find chips and cookies) and a drink, from juice to water, to coke. For about £ 3,00 My other best option is Subway, for a bit more than £ 3,00 I can get half sub and I get water and drinks in school, or I buy some fruit and take one piece every day in my bag. Dinner out with friends Push your friends to eat Asian food, that ’ s the one I like the most and normally has the best r...

Paris l'Amour

Image
Before I even knew I was going to start a Master in London last September. Me and my boyfriend bought two tickets to watch a friendly rugby game between France and New Zealand in Paris. It would have been my first time in Paris since when I was 4 and going with my French boyfriend was making this experience even more special. Not many people go to Paris with their boyfriend to watch a rugby game but it was just an excuse to take a trip and it fully fit in our  meeting plan since we were living in different countries. I got to see the best monuments and on top of it, kiss my boyfriend under the tour Eiffel, watch my first rugby game, be for the first time in a big stadium, watch the All Blacks playing amazingly and performing the Haka. What I totally loved of Paris is summarized in a few pictures but feelings were much bigger than what pictures can describe.  Have you been in Paris? How long was your trip? What was your favourite pla...

Long Distance Relationship Agreement

Image
I suppose you all know in some how Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, he ’ s famous to have his own way of doing things. Something that really characterize his behaviour is his collection of agreements. Flatmates agreements with Leonard and Relationship agreement with Amy just to cite some. Me and my boyfriend are big fan of that Tv-Show, but no worries, we didn ’ t write and sign an agreement. We did promise each other to put all the effort to make the relationship work during the master program I ’ m taking in London (I talked about it in My Short Story ). What we came up with is this list : ·          One selfie a day at least ·          Trying to call every day ·          Skype at least once a week ·          Meet every about 3 weeks (we made a real plan) This is how our meeting plan went...
