Bit later than promised, but here is my post about my first time fasting! Last night I said goodbye to someone (I’ll miss you!), so I decided to write the blogpost today. For the ones who didn’t catch why my colleague and I were fasting together for a day: we were dared to try it […]

The 28-F/F/F challenge: How to survive a busy week

I’ve got two more weeks left to finish my thesis and my head goes like MASSIVE WHIRPOOL OF THOUGHTS! and The Flash is nothing compared to my heart racing..

Career: Six myths on youth unemployment
