How come, that when we see a flashing green dude on the traffic lights, we start running over the street, but when it turns red we start walking like, ” I didn’t reach the other side before the green light stopped flashing so I might just as well get ran over and die”? Just a […]

Feel like you still have a choice
Yesterday was the first day of my internship at Hufvudstadsbladet, the biggest Finn-Swedish newspaper there is. I’m on the visual side, so basically doing layouts and info-graphics. FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS. We signed the contract yesterday and chose a project to do as a YRKESPROV. Today I’m up to some more layout and the rest […]
Are we in this together
Just another amazing day to live in. It’s hard to explain the gratefulness when you’re sitting in Porvoo Old Town in a café drinking hot chocolate with your best friend and it’s Monday, sunny and you have the day off.
That’s all for now okay
ARCHIPELAGO! This is what Finns do when they have time off. Thye go their mökki (lodge, cabin whatever you want to call it), go swimming, spend time outside and with their families, complaining about the the lack of internet connection and the amount of work that should be done in the yard, even thought they […]
The trees they fall down on their own
Two pictures from monday, we had a Youth Editorial meeting for the newspaper Östnyland. I have an article about easter and easter eggs haha in today’s newspaper, and then next week and the week after that we have election specials, so I’ve got the columns for both weeks. Right now I’m in the archipelago, spending […]
Vaikuttamo
I’m in Espoo, west of Helsinki on an exhibition for 9th graders in the city. I’m representing FSS, since this is an event organised by their local youth council to introduce school-students to politics. There’s all kinds of programme and things going, right now a debate between some candidates for the parliamentary election. […]
Let’s go get lost
Best weekend in a loong time! Chillaxed at Emil’s place with him and Märt yesterday, so random. But happy, you need that kind of funny and weird nights every now and then. And Emil and I planned our interrail. We’re GOING this SUMMER. Guys. Can you believe it? EUROPE! Okay so I’m looking at interrailing-videos […]
Let’s not look back right now
I’m looking at a bilingual election debate between the leaders of the parties in Finland. I’m kind of giggly, kind of mad and kind of facepalming my self. Half of the group are throwing out poorly put arguments on bad Swedish and the other half is playing diplomatic but only to seem like they know […]
Free falling
Some street photography shots from Sunday. We had a HECO-boardmeeting and then we walked back to the city center, where I jumped on a train and had dinner with Marie. Yesterday after school, I went to the exam of my Hygiene Passport, and after waiting with the other 20 people for 40 minutes, the teacher […]
And it’s all so strange when you think about it
Since last time. I’ve been to a really interesting lecture about gender studies that had no point. I also attended a workshop about HBTQI-youth, being the only HBTQI-youth in the room. And then I had my very first job interview for a possible summer job at Porvoo city, doing some office work. So now we’re […]
