Vet-ing has been rough AF

Image
Hey guys! If you guys aren't aware, I've been studying Veterinary Medicine for the past 4 years now. Only 2 more to go *crowd goes wild*. I'm going to be 100% real with you. It has not been easy in the slightest. Specially this past semester. OMG. Just thinking about it makes me start sweating... Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love what I'm studying and I am well aware how rare that is, these days. Studying something for what you are so fucking passionate about. Although I absolutely love almost-being-a-vet, this past semester was rough. When I say rough, i mean rough. Almost having a nervous breakdown rough. No exaggeration whatsoever. Why you wonder. Well, whoever is reading , having classes com 8am to 6/8pm most days, and then getting home and having to do a gazillion reports and projects every single week. Exam week starts, and I'm already falling asleep in every single corner I can find. That overwhelming feeling of having so much to do ...

I'm Single, So What?

Hey guys! Today, I thought I’d share with you a different type of post, not a beauty nor fashion post, but a more personal one. This year has definitely been the best year of my life, but I still had some tough moments for sure. Being in a new city with new people and far from your family made me anxious and alone at times. Honestly, I’ve never been that girl that NEEDED a boyfriend. I’m more into letting destiny taking its course. All my girlfriends had boyfriends and I was one of the few single ones… This never really bothered me. I always felt like I didn’t have to settle with someone just in the sakes of having a boyfriend. Not my scene. But a few months before summer I sometimes felt a little left out… Is that strange? Don’t get me wrong, I’m super happy for my friends and their relationships, but I sometimes wished I had someone too.

Pastel de Nata a.k.a. a Little Bit of Portuguese Heaven

Image
Hey guys! I went to the supermarket yesterday and my dad decided to buy 6 Pasteis de Nata (yes, 6... My dad has a sweet-tooth). You're probably thinking "what in the world is that?". Well *whoever is reading this*, a Pastel de Nata is a traditional Portuguese pastry made with eggs, milk, flour... Well, there are a tonne of different recipes online, incase you wanna try them out. Some people like the Pasteis de Nata to be slightly warm and with a touch of cinnamon and powdered sugar... I'm fine with whatever really... haha Honestly, I've never made one, just cause here in Portugal, wherever you go and at whatever time, you will find Pasteis de Nata. I'm too lazy to make them when I see a GAZILLION every single day! Haha xp Plus, they're quite cheap too!! (It depends on place to place but the average is 0.25 euros ) Here are some reasons why they are so GREAT...  The outside is soo crispy and flaky ! The inside is soo soft and creamy !...

Just a quicky... About my life.

Hey guys! I had a gazillion ideas for today's post... But in the meantime, there were some complications and I don't have time or the right mind set really... But I felt like I had to write a post today for whoever is reading this right now). I found out my 11 year old cat has kidney failure caused by PKD (polycystic kidney disease) and there's nothing we can do about it as his kidneys are now filled with cysts. (We had his fur cut for the summer of 2014. How cute?!)

Anxiety. It doesn't just happen to others.

Hey guys!  Today I thought about writing a more significant and meaningful post. I've thought long and hard about this topic because this is the  first time I'm telling these things to anyone . This is a  personal and honest post . Anxiety . Honestly, when I first heard of people having anxiety I thought "oh she's just being dramatic"... But I have definitely changed my opinion about this over the past year or so. I started having shortness of breath in stressful situations and my heart started beating as fast as if I had just ran a marathon. I've always been an anxious person (I guess it runs in the family) but this past year, I feel like it got worst. Family issues were rising to the surface, which caused my anxiety to increase. Then, I became so anxious, it started affecting my confidence and so it started to affect my grades at school. My anxiety sky rocketed through the roof! My entire life was upside down. I felt like all the decisions and ...
