It's not what you know, it's WHO you know.

I realise I only just posted yesterday, and never post this frequently but writing is the only way I seem to get anything off my mind lately. I have also realised how much I admire someone who knows what they are doing with their lives... I'm twenty one and have no clue what I actually want to do. How do you know? How can you choose one thing to dedicate yourself to for the rest of your life? When does it become clear what your 'calling' is? I have been told I don't know how many times that it's never too late for anything, but maybe it is. The thought of actually getting to where you want at the age of thirty terrifies me. As you know, it's finals time and everyone is at the library cramming as much in as possible. I was there the other day thinking how many of you are studying what you really want to study? How many of you are doing because your parents or someone else has made you? How many of you are actually going to give 100% to that future jo

Barcelona got me thinking.

I took a little trip last week to Barcelona for a few days, made the most of it and celebrated my 21st watching Chris Martin, Johnny, Guy and Will blow just under 55.000 people away at the Coldplay Head Full of Dreams concert.  Took a plane up their with my friend Adriana, mum and dad come too. Adriana and I stayed in a little hostel on a side street from Las Ramblas,  we were expecting the worse but incredibly happy with the place once we got there. It was a few days of lots of walking, very little eating and copious amounts of alcohol (after all, I did turn 21).  As you probably know by now, whenever I sit down and take a look at what's going on around me, it gets me thinking, so this wasn't any different. At first I noticed how expensive the city is compared to Málaga, but definitely worth it.  We decided to go out Wednesday night when we arrived and ended up catching in Pacha club Migos perform...pretty impressive I must say. We noticed how many touri

Coffee shop inspiration.

There is one Starbucks in Malaga Centre, inside the El Corte Ingles mega store. It has been there since August 2014 and although a lot of the Spanish public didn't think it would do too well, they are opening a new one in Calle Nueva, I believe it will be open later this summer.  Starbucks may be a massive brand worldwide but in a place where coffee is drunk up to five times a day and that it usually costs around €1.20, the future of Starbucks in Málaga was uncertain at the least. I am actually quite surprised by its success.  I am actually writing this post sitting here in Starbucks with my Venti Mocca and white chocolate cookie, listening to the gentle music hoping to get some stuff done for uni but instead I started thinking, Why do people come here to work on their computers if they have a table and probably a coffee machine at home? What are the people in here working on? Most of them are on their computers or phones so I decided to get up and ask.  At the t
