Share the happiness

Someone once told me not to compare my sorrow with someone else's. Just because it seems like their reason to be sad is bigger than yours, it doesn't mean you're not allowed to be sad as well. Or to be even sadder. In my opinion you can also say the same for happiness. You shouldn't let anyone else bring you down if you're excited about something. So what if your friend got a B on an exam and you got a C? It doesn't mean you shouldn't be proud of yourself. And I can guarantee you that a true friend would want you to be happy. We should all be rooting for each other, not tearing each other down. Share the happiness!

Music Monday: Erik Hassle

Today I decided to start a new series of blog posts called Music Monday. Every Monday I will recommend a new song, artist or band. I'll try to introduce you to music you haven't heard before, but no guarantees.

This week I have chosen a song by a Swedish singer-songwriter called Erik Hassle. I used to listen to his music back in 2009 (how is that seven years ago btw?!), and I just discovered a new song of his last week. The song is called "No Words", and it's a super catchy! It immediately puts me in a good mood, and I hope it will do the same to you.

(The song starts at 0:20)

New favourites

Good...afternoon? I had a massive sleep-in today, which I haven't had in a long time. It felt good, but I also felt like I'd wasted most of the day. I guess I was sort of rewarding myself for getting an A(!) on a test yesterday, and also a B on an assignment. Grades are looking good so far! Anyway, it's Saturday, and I'm in a good mood. I need to clean the babe cave (aka my dorm) and go grocery shopping. Later tonight I'm going bowling with some friends, which I'm pretty excited about. I'm rubbish at bowling, but it's always fun anyway.

20 questions: Get To Know Me Tag

As I've only just started blogging, there's so much stuff you guys don't know about me.
If anyone actually reads my blog, that is. So, here's 20 facts about me!

1. What is your zodiac sign?

Cancer.

2. What was your favourite subject in school?
English was my favourite subject from day one, but I also really liked politics and media.

3. Do you participate in any sports? 
I used to play football and handball when I was younger, but that's a long time ago. I really miss football, but I just don't feel like I'm in good enough shape to be a part of a team yet. I started going to the gym last autumn though, and I really like it so far.

4. Favourite colour?

Blue has always been my favourite colour, but I really like coral as well.

5. Favourite animal?
Definitely dogs! I don't think I really had a favourite animal before my sister got a Chow Chow, but I've been obsessed with dogs ever since. If I see a dog in public I always point it out to the people I'm with, hehe. Pretty sure everyone who knows me can confirm this.

6. Do you have any siblings?

I have two older sisters, one who is 24 and the other is 22. I love them both, but I don't see them as often anymore since I moved to a different city to study.

7. Did you like school?
School was alright, I guess. I didn't love it, neither did I hate it. I miss the social part of school though, definitely should have appreciated it more.

8. Favourite perfume?

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre. I've run out of it though, and it's a bit expensive for my student budget. So at the moment I'm wearing Versace Bright Crystal, which I got for Christmas.

9. What’s your favourite store?

Wow, okay, this is a tough one. I think I would have to say Bik Bok and Urban Outfitters. I also really like Topshop, but they don't ship to Norway, so I can only buy their clothes when I'm abroad. To be honest I haven't really done that much clothes shopping since I started university, which I am quite proud of. I'm the biggest shopaholic, so this is a huge deal for me!

10. Do you speak any other languages?

Except for Norwegian, the only other language I can speak (almost) fluently is English. My English is definitely not flawless though, so I'm sure you'll find grammatical mistakes here and there. I know some German and Dutch as well, but not enough to have an actual conversation.

11. Have you been out of the country?

I've been to England, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Greece, The Netherlands and France. Out of all of the places I've been, I think London will always be my favourite. I know, it's very generic, but London feels like home, so I always enjoy being there.

12. Favourite YouTubers?

There's so many! But these are the ones I watch the most at the moment: Zoella, Freddy My Love, JacksGap, Troye Sivan, Niomi Smart, Danisnotonfire, FunForLouis and Connor Franta.

13. Favourite movie(s)?

All of the Harry Potter movies! You can never watch them too many times.

14. How tall are you? 

The last time I measured I was 1.66 meters, which according to Google is a bit taller than 5'5''. That's a long time ago though, so I might be taller now. At least I like to think so.

15. What’s one thing most people probably don’t know about you?

The only alcohol I actually love the taste of is a cheap Moscato wine.

16. One thing you want to do before you die?

I want to live in a different country, even if it's just for six months. Not quite sure where, but I guess it would have to be somewhere they speak English fluently, otherwise I'd feel so lost.

17. What’s your most listened to artist on Spotify? 

I'm pretty obsessed with Kygo's music, and according to Spotify he was the artist I listened to the most in 2015. At the moment I am also listening a lot to Troye Sivan, Astrid S, Highasakite, Karpe Diem and Sondre Justad.

18. What kind of style would you define yourself as having?

I guess I have many different styles, it all depends on my mood. But in general, skirts and high waist jeans are definitely my favourite clothing items to wear.

19. What was the last thing you bought?

I bought a few lipsticks online a few days ago. I'm obsessed with wearing lipstick, but I can't find the one I always wear in the winter, so I "had" to buy some new ones, hehe.

20. What do you want to be when you grow up? 
My dream is to work at an airport, maybe like some sort of Ground Stewardess. It might not sound like the most prestigious job, but it's what would make me happy. And isn't that what's most important in life?
