Last night I…

1. Hung out with some people, maybe for the last time.
2. Listened to a country song that I will always like from now on, just because it will remind me of the people in Sunderland that play it every time we hang out.
3. Found out that a German friend knows someone that went to my home uni, because said friend was wearing one of our t-shirts.
4. Went to a UV party at a bar at a dorm campus.
5. Broke open glowsticks and painted myself.
6. Danced a little.
7. Was introduced as Vanessa, a German girl.
8. Had to climb a huge fence to get home. Okay, it wasn’t that big, but I am afraid of heights. Whatever.
9. Was grateful to those who invented GPS and WiFi.

Jerry Brito: Top ten myths about introverts ↘

jerrybrito:

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Jazzyrae's ramblings.: 18 Things I Wish Someone Would've Told Me at 18. ↘

  1. Commit yourself to making lots of mistakes. – Mistakes teach you important lessons. The biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because you’re too scared to make a mistake. So don’t hesitate – don’t doubt yourself. In life, it’s rarely about getting a chance; it’s about taking a…

I want to live my life in full (cliche, because who doesn’t?), and I want to see beautiful things and I want to photograph them so that others can see the beauty that I see. This is why photographing makes me happy. I’m sick of the picky, pretentious nonsense I am being fed in school. I realize my professors have their reasons and they really do try their best, but this art/photography world is not something I want to be a part of professionally. Never really was. So now that I’ve found something else I’d like to go to school for, there’s no reason why I should continue with photography. What I was afraid would happen by going to school for photography did happen, but I don’t regret all the amazing classes I took. I learned so much and would not be the photographer I am today. My passion for this art has slipped twice now and has returned, hopefully for good. I had this hope that once I moved to England, my passion would return. England was the reason I began photographing and it is now the reason I will never stop.
