thinking out loud.

What can we expect to happen in the next 364 days? An unanswerable question I have been asking myself today. A new year has started and many will be making their new years resolutions, for what i'm not sure as I doubt 80% will keep it up for more than a couple of weeks, those of you who last longer have my eternal praises.

The past few days I have been thinking about the notion of time, how quick it passes, how everyone always says make the most of every minute as you know never know what can happen.

How many of us actually do that?
How many of us take the plunge and do what we really want to do?
I thought I would share this little refelection with you all to encourage everyone to do something about it.

My new years resolutions are to travel more, meet people, take more photos, learn something about everyone I meet and most importantley spend as much time as possible doing something productive.

If you were to sit for a moment and think what has 2015 given to you, what has it taken from you, how things have changed from one year ago...after that think about what you didn't do and wanted to.

Can't keep it any more simple than that, Hannah.

From electors and the elected to rulers and the ruled - Big Brother.

I have a subject at university which is titled 'Technologies applied to advertising and public relations', the teacher is the same man who taught us a similar subject last year, all about Internet control and privacy. Today we watched a documentary on Edward Snowden, former CIA agent and NSA system analyst, and how he leaked information about how the NSA have access to all digital and analogical information. A lot of us already know we are being watched, I say a lot of us know, but really how many of us do anything about it? The fact that everything written if not on paper can all be seen quite easily, the NSA had such things called drones, what most of us are only just hearing of, these drones are floating around the world just watching our day to day lives. This got me thinking, this control is only likely to get worse. When the documentary was finished, we were walking out of class and most of the girls were saying how they already knew about all this con...

Career prospects: Spain vs the rest of the world.

When you study abroad you meet people from all over the world. You exchange cultural traditions, you maybe try to learn some words in their language but you also discuss the differences about academics, about work prospects and each others plans for the future. This is actually really depressing for someone who lives or studies in Spain. The chances of you getting a job after graduation in Spain in your field is around 60-65% depending on your university (public schools only). This of course is only applicable if you have gained some previous experience, which the majority of us haven’t or won’t. ‘You can’t get a job without experience’. How do you gain experience then if no company will give you the chance? When you compare this to other universities around the world or not necessarily by university but by country it becomes quite scary. In Spain we do a four year course and then are facing a one year master course. Master courses are made for you to speciali...

What's your goal?

Life goals, something not many people really think about. I, on the other hand, have a sort of obsession when it comes to thinking about the future and life in general, what are we doing? Where are we going? What is it all for? At the end of the day we are just mere pawns, answering to bishops who answer to the knights and the rooks who answer to the king and the queen, not literally of course, but you get what I mean, just pieces in a game we call life. Ask yourselves right now what are your life goals? What do you want to get out of life? Health, money, love, friendship, travel... so many things people aspire to. I have no clue when it comes to what I want. We study to work, work to pay bills, pay bills to live 'comfortably', live 'comfortably' to be happy, be happy to enjoy life and enjoy life to eventually die. How many of us are really enjoying life or doing what we want? When is it too late to go after your life goals? At this very moment, 18:04 on ...
