A Note On Thesis Writing

So as you will know if you're a regular reader of this blog, I am currently working on my thesis so that I can finally call myself a Bachelor of Arts in Business Studies come August. Well let me tell you.. thesis writing is stressful and not at all fun! I grew to dread waking up in the morning as it just meant another day slaving away in front of the computer! Now that I can finally see a (rather dim) light at the end of the tunnel I thought I'd share 10 little facts about thesis writing that all of you who already went through this can probably relate to:

Life Lately As Told By Instagram

Instagram

I haven't published a new post on here in a while as I'm being super busy with loads and loads of uni work, tiring thesis writing and not to forget the never ending think-about-your-future-write-job-applications-and-what-do-you-even-wanna-do-with-your-life worrying.. So when I've taken time off of all this I wanted to stay as far away from a computer screen as humanly possible and just hang out with friends, enjoy the sunshine, go for runs and drink wine in the garden. If you follow me on Instagram you will know this but in case you don't yet, I thought I'll give you a little overview/ catch up in Instagram snaps (it seems however stressful life gets I'll always find time for instagram haha!) because as they say: "A picture is worth a thousand words" ;)

Hometown Glory | Life Lately #7

Bavaria

The older I get, the more I realise how much I love the place I grew up in. Back in the days it was all about getting out of that suffocatingly small town and see the world and move away and find a better and cooler place to live in. I guess it's just a teenage thing eh? Anyway nowadays when I take some time to wander around my hometown and take little walks down memory lane, to places where I used to play as a child, places I once loved to spend my afternoons with friends at and things like that it gets clear to me that I truly love my hometown! Yes it's small and no there is not much going on there but it still is so full of amazing memories. I still wouldn't go as far as to say that I could imagine myself living here for the rest of my life, I mean you guys probably all know about my moving-to-London "plans" (is it a plan yet if it's only in your head..?) by now, but I most certainly know that I will always come back here.
