How I did it
It made me
certified blogger

Now I update my blog about once every week and a half. I also have a website, so I think I'm really getting there. Also, I've found that reading other blogs often provides me with inspiration.

How I did it: I finished my final exams for my exchange program in South Africa and then went out to celebrate with some of my new friends.

Quite proud of myself, but I’ll give it a little more practice in case that was a lucky first try :)
