Bucketlist.

Ever since I made my 22 things before 23 checklist, I'm obsessed with making lists. Crossing of things I've accomplished or done really gives me satisfied feeling. Sometimes it are small things, like vacuum cleaning or going grocery shopping and sometimes it is something I've been working on for a long time, like finishing the Start to Run program (I did it!! Still need to train more to get to the 5km mark though: I'm a slow runner). And with my 22 before 23 list in mind, I've made a bucket list. A mini-bucket list, actually. I came up with 10 things I want to accomplish before I'm 30 or so: it's a long term project.

1. Travel. This is definitely number 1 on the list. There are so many places I still want to see. I don't know if I'm ever going to have children - I'm still undecided - but if I do, I feel I have to do as much travelling as possible before I'm stuck here at home. I want to see America (I dream of going to New York, Los Angeles, San Fransisco, ...) and I want to do road trips, to see Portugal and travel through France by car. Just me and my boyfriend. We'll have so much fun!

Diploma: check!

I did it! I actually graduated university! Yesterday, there was a reception for all the graduates where my friends and I officially got our grades on paper. For the actual diploma I have to wait until April, but I got it, that's what's most important. Oh, and I graduated cum laude (I'm too proud not to brag, sorry).

My friends and I at the reception

I'm just so happy and thankful for the last four years. I've met some amazing people, made friends that will last for a long time (I hope) and learned so much about media (duh) and myself. Going to university and living alone most of the time has made me more independent, confident and pushed me to do things I never would have done otherwise. Being able to finish this without even repeating a year (which is actually pretty common) is my way of saying thanks to my parents (by saving them a lot of money and all). Without them I would never been able to go on this adventure in the first place. They are the best. I probably don't tell them that enough.

Grain pancakes with apple.

Call me crazy but I'm not a big fan of pancakes. Don't know why. Never have. I do like fibres and grains (probably the only healthy thing I like) and that's the reason I decided to try this pancake anyway. And am I glad I did! This is a healthy alternative to a regular pancake and believe it or not, it's made with cereal. I learned the recipe from my mom and I think she got it from Weigt Watchers, so it's pretty save to say that this is good for you. It might not look like a lot but believe me, one pancake really fills your stomach.

Random Pictures.

My internet was down a couple of days. It's when something doesn't work or is missing that you notice how much you actually use it. Luckily for me, I had enough to do around here and my boyfriend got his diploma! Here's a couple of pictures a randomly took during this week, to keep me busy without the Internet.
