https://peacelovefaith16.wordpress.com/2016/09/10/5-challenges-im-facing-right-now
Starting Afresh in the Netherlands. An experience of being an international student. 5 Challenges I’m Facing Right Now. September 10, 2016. September 10, 2016. I can’t believe I’ve been in the Netherlands for almost a month now! The time has flown by so quickly, and after all my preparation such as organising my room and buying things that are necessary for studying/living here, my lectures begin on Monday. It’s crazy! Budgeting is incredibly hard! I have to have big breakfasts, usually baked beans on to...

Thoughts so far… – Starting Afresh in the Netherlands
https://peacelovefaith16.wordpress.com/2016/09/17/thoughts-so-far
Starting Afresh in the Netherlands. An experience of being an international student. Thoughts so far…. September 17, 2016. So week one is officially done! In some ways, I can’t believe it’s only been a week as it feels like it’s been a lot longer than that, but I suppose that’s because I’ve already been here a month. It’s crazy how time has flown! It amazes me how much it still feels like summer here, the weather has been perfect(! Even though the autumn is drawing closer and closer. I also feel a bit am...

Fresher’s week 2016 – Starting Afresh in the Netherlands
https://peacelovefaith16.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/freshers-week-2016
Starting Afresh in the Netherlands. An experience of being an international student. Fresher’s week 2016. August 31, 2016. The last two weeks have come and gone in such a hurry that I’ve really had no time to really process my feelings about fresher’s and the university yet. It was crazy! There is so much to say and so much to talk about that I’m going to write about what happened on each day rather than write about everything all at once. Monday 22.08.16. Tuesday 23.08.2016. After this, we walked around...

My new flat! 🏡 – Starting Afresh in the Netherlands
https://peacelovefaith16.wordpress.com/2016/08/19/my-new-flat-🎉🏡
Starting Afresh in the Netherlands. An experience of being an international student. August 19, 2016. August 20, 2016. So yesterday was the day I signed my housing contract and the day I was able to see my place! However, they didn’t make things easy for me…. So fast-forward a 30 minutes walk in the blaring Dutch summer heat, find my place, walk up to the door, ring the doorbell, only to find a few minutes later that no one was there! 😭 I felt like such an idiot! Luckily the university did manage to con...

My new bike – and how I miraculously found it 🙈🚲 – Starting Afresh in the Netherlands
https://peacelovefaith16.wordpress.com/2016/09/03/my-new-bike-and-how-i-miraculously-found-it-🙈🚲
Starting Afresh in the Netherlands. An experience of being an international student. My new bike – and how I miraculously found it 🙈🚲. September 3, 2016. After searching for what felt like months, I miraculously found my new bike today and I can’t tell you how relieved I am to have found one! Despite cycling being so popular in the Netherlands, finding a second hand store that is still selling bikes is virtually impossible – no kidding! But suddenly, I realised that I had said yes to this offer without...

Starting Afresh in the Netherlands. An experience of being an international student. Tell me something about yourself…. August 17, 2016. If someone were to ask you this question, what would you say? How would you sell yourself? Would you reply with the name of your favourite tv series, or would you reply with something that resides deep within your soul? First day in The Hague 😍🙈. August 16, 2016. August 19, 2016. I don’t think I ever got one of those in England! How beautiful is that? I got a text fro...
