I’ve been on the eternal search for who I am and what I want. I haven’t made as much progress as I’d like. I need to focus on being the person I see myself being instead of dreaming about it all the time.

It made me
happy to be back! 
How I did it: I met an EU national, and moved over here to be with him. This time, it was SO much easier. I got my birth certificate and an apostille, booked my flight, and that's it. When I got here, I registered at the town hall, got a form from the US Embassy to state that I am single, then went to the IND in Den Haag and submitted the papers.

The neverending pursuit of a degree
12 months ago
The story of my life. I’ve studied at 3 different universities, 4 different majors, and I still have no degree. :(

manual driving is my arch enemy!

Living in Europe, everyone drives a manual. Renting an automatic car here is a pain in the butt. I’d like to learn to drive a manual so I don’t have to deal with the inconvenience anymore.
