Feeling like Blair and Serena #NYCLife2

-

It wasn’t the most eventfull week, but it was one to mention. Last week I changed my spin classes giving me a lot of free time. Despite of that I didn’t do much with it. Mostly I had to fill in forms for my studies. Well first I had to find some studies that I am actually interested in. And after that I needed to fill in applications so that I can find myself a house in Amsterdam. That is where I want to study in case you didn’t know.


 On wednesday things turned around for the better. Or so I thought.. EF organized A trip to the Yankees game. It looked like everybody was going,  the train almost bursted of all the people in it. I was really excited though, and looking all ready in my Yankees cap and customized vest. Me and my friend even decided to get fries, which we never do. And it was all fun, but than it started to shower. I mean not rain rain, more like a slight drizzle. However, it was enough to dempen the mood a little. Oh and the cold, do not let me get started on how cold it was because it was almost unbearably cold. But we, being to complete troopers that we are, found the strength to carry on. It’s not every day you are at a baseball game in New York City. But than as time went on the game got more boring and boring, and soon we found ourselves sitting in the back of the stadium hiding from the rain. Literally nothing was happening, at all. So soon after, we got up and headed back home. Later to realize that we missed possibly one of the greatest games in the season yet… Because in the last fifteen minutes the Yankees decided to score a grand slam. As you might have guessed, now I was really pissed. Seriously, It is said about me that I sometimes suffer from FOMO. I had a real hard time coping with that. 

On Saturday we went to the Met Museum. Like the fan girls that we are, we ,as you do, held a little photoshoot on the gossip girls stairs. Only the yoghurt was missing, otherwise we would have been Blair & Serena 2.0. Afterwards we did go into the museum. We kind of head to only if it was just for 1.5 hours. It wasn’t that special, but maybe that was our fault. Well I am almost certain that it was. 
All in all it was a pretty good week.
Yours faithfully,
Elianne

Mental health during Quarantine & Chill

Everyone is stuck in isolation. If it is with family, roommates, pets or just by yourself it can be hard. Not having enough alone time or having too much alone time can drive you wild. If you are familiar with mental health struggles this might be a difficult time for you. So here are some tips on how to get you through the days. PS: even if you don't struggle with mental health yourself this might still be a good read. It might help you relate or converse with those who do. 1. Meditation This is my favorite tip by far. If you're just a bit like me you'll be stuck in your head a lot. Nitpicking every single detail about yourself. Usually, in our busy student life, we have enough going on that there is not a lot of time left to spend hours in our heads. However, now that we're stuck sitting inside there is a whole lot of opportunities to snuggle up underneath a blanket with a cup of tea and start to fantasize about everything you hate about yourself. So I

KLM Vegan Meal Review

Hi globetrotter, I mean why else would you read an airplane meal review. Or maybe you are just a curious person, if so, same. Let me start with a disclaimer, in saying that no airplane food can truly be like really good. So if I say "excellent" know that it's probably just decent but for the sake of writing a fun-to-read review I am gonna use terms like that. Me and my vegan friend flew from Amsterdam to Bali and back, during both flights we got three vegan meals. The first being a dinner. It included; water,  a cup of butter (with I left cuz I had no idea where to put it on), a small salad and a meal consisting of mashed chickpeas, quinoa and a brown bean/onion/bell pepper stir fry. The salad was ok, the dressing was definitely needed. The big meal however was surprisingly tasty, the chickpea puree was nicely salted, the quinoa not overly cooked and the stir fry decently spiced. And the fruit tasted fresh. I cleaned the plate. The Second was a breakfast. Includin

MOCO

HI!! I went to a museum again. Let me tell you about it.  Moco museum in Amsterdam got my attention because they have a large Banksy and now and a Kusama expo. I love Banksy's street style graffiti art and really wanted to see his work up close. Afterwards I found out that this museum is on Banksy's list of illegal expositions. As in he did not give them permission to show his art. So something to think about if you're considering a visit. Nonetheless it was awesome to see his take on controversial topics.  The Kusama part was very small and therefore kind of a let down.  However, we really came for the Amethyst Ball Cavern created by Daniel Arsham. He has done a new show called Connection Time and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved his take on it with connection the alternative realty with architecture and pop culture objects.  We didn't spend much time there since it is not a big museum and usually crowded. It was still a fun activity, especially since we we
