Thought I would be efficient and do another Blog post while I’m awake and at it.
Even though I do these things and have done it now for 8 years, I sometimes regret leaving Finland.
I know, for people who know me, this might come as a shock since I always complain when I’m home.
But I’d actually like not thinking the grass is always greener on the other side.
All my brilliant ideas aren’t always brilliant and I should learn that I don’t need to follow up on every single idea i get into that small silly brain of mine.
12 months ago I wasn’t even the slightest interested in studying at Stanford.
January I got the brilliant idea of applying, got myself a job and moved here.
This without even thinking about it twice because I always tell myself I would regret not going if I had the chance.
Which, might be true.
So far I love California and the people I’ve met here.
But being away from friends, family and boyfriend.
And starting all over (yet again) is quite stressful.
So I’ve decided after this I’m done.
I sometimes feel like I live my life according to what stories I can tell in the end.
me standing in the pacific ocean (another thing of my bucket list done)
and I find myself missing the most random things when I’m away from home.
Things that when I’m home don’t really matter.
But this for example, helping my dad with his work late at night delivering a costumers boat.
When he asks me to come with him because he needs help – helpful daughter points.
As I said. missing random things!
Need to go to sleep before I get to personal.
I went to Stanford for my Master’s degree and it was one of the great experiences of my life. I am sure it must be hard to be so far from home but you will meet the most amazing people and professors. When I was there, back in, well never mind when, one of my professors had just completed an unsuccessful campaign for President of the United States. I wish you all the best.
