In the youth law in Finland it says in the 22nd paragraph, that youth shall be heard in all matters that concern them. And today FSS was invited to give a statement on the reform of vocational education and training. This is one of the subjects I care a lot about, as I often am […]
Right now I’m on my way to Brussels to spend two awesome days with OBESSU’s (Organising Bureau of European School-Student Unions) Working Group on renewing the Political Platform. I am excited to work with the team and try to make as good of a policy document as possible. Anyhow, this time I have news. Yesterday […]
Emil and I had ham and milk last night in my apartment around 11 p.m. “I feel so alive right now, Bicca”, he said. And I couldn’t have agreed more. Let’s go back two years. Emil and I had recently started talking to each other after 3 years of complete silence. I was the […]
Finally. Finals are over. It’s a bit weird having to remind myself and everyone I meet of the exceptional fact that 1, I am a vocational student and 2, I am in second grade. Not that it changes anything, but the situation is a bit special anyway. The backstory for the confused ones. In Finland, […]
Eating some pasta. I’m totally done, finito, loppu, slut. But it was an awesome week. On Monday I had the English listening comprehension for my matriculation exam, and on Tuesday I had the best dentist appointment of my life. Turns out, not only are my teeth more than fine but really nice dentists actually exist. […]
I just decided to take a moment off and appreciate what I have in life. I booked flight tickets to Copenhagen and Strasbourg, so now I have at least one trip planned for every upcoming month until summer. In one and a half week I head over to Denmark for a meeting with the Nordic […]
Another eventful week comes to an end. This week I’ve been stressing around quite a bit as usual. Weirdly enough, I was in school a total of three full schooldays, out of which I did visit the student counselor once. As all sorts of counseling in my life so far have ended up as disaster, I […]
Here we go again. Happy me, on an airplane. The last few years have been amazing. The last few months have been amazing. The last few weeks have been amazing. And so has the last few days and the last few hours. On Thursday after school I took the bus to the airport and got […]
FSS and family-weekend behind. FSS new board had their first meeting in Helsinki, so I was stuck there from Friday to Sunday, going home to Porvoo to sleep, and on Saturday to celebrate the marriage of my cousin and his wife, and the baptizing of their youngest child. It was such a nice day! I […]
WHY do I always forget that when you promise to do 20 things, you actually have a LOT to do. I got to work at 9, worked my ass of until 10 and then I went to the gymnasium Lärkan where my friend Jannica (formerly a board member of FSS) studies. We kept a lecture/workshop […]
