My childhood friend committed a suicide not so long ago.

I argue that Finland should ally with NATO.

Over the past four years, I have been reluctant to write, but I have had the desire.

Have you noticed that consistent, right behavior is required to provide something of value.

I spit upon it because it makes me allergic.

I live in Vaasa, Finland now.

Of all its many values, the greatest must be the freedom to doubt

Pöö pöö hyvät ystävät.

My three-year bachelor psychology studies are nearing an end.

Almost three years has passed since I started studying psychology in Leiden University.

I am making important life decisions: golden delicious, royal gala, fuji, or jonagold—or “just” a banana?

I have lived in the Netherlands for two years now.

Imagine a Venn diagram of sunny weather, weekend, and summer vacation.

I was five or maybe six-years-old when I begun to understand what money means.

Olin viisi- tai ehkä kuusivuotias kun aloin ymmärtää, mitä raha tarkoittaa.

As a habitual redditor, I follow the memes and schemes of the world.

Personally, my alarms went full nuclear when I heard the borders in Finland would be closing and airplanes are going to stop flying.

A little crimson-red couch has space for three people to sit on.

Why do we fall?

Although the Finnish Independence Day is already over and Christmas is soon here, I can’t hold my mind not to write how great the day was here in Leiden, Holland.

The early begging experiences begin with ourselves.

I thought I was going to write something during the summer about something.

TL;DR: I recap the first year of my personal experiences on the Leiden IBP programme.

TL;DR.

It has been a while since the last time I wrote.

Fifteen years old, young and naivë, I participated in the Finnish Lutheran tradition, the confirmation class.

It was Sunday.

“What do you want to do when you grow up?”

I enjoy my morning coffee, pack my laptop, books and notes in the yellow backpack.

The current milieu: rain is deluging the streets, wind is blowing from all angles and dark grey clouds loom above.

Victory!

Finally, I had the motivation to start writing a personal blog.

My expedition in the Netherlands had a few leisure activities too apart from all the exhaustive house search.

Hoi allemaal!
