Good riddance, 2010!

It's New Year's Eve tomorrow and I couldn't be happier about it! It's been an eventful year but man am I glad it's over! After the unbearable coldness of last winter (it's been equally cold this winter as well), everything I had to deal with at school, after the summer job that stole all that was left of my social life and after the economical worries who can blame me?! I know life ain't fair but there's only too much one person can take...

I hate to complain so as an answer to your question: yes, there were good times, too! I travelled to the States in June to see my friends and we had a great time! The only down side was that eventually I had to come back home. But they were the best ten days of this year! Two weeks after that I got a friend from the States to visit me here in Finland, and those were another six best days! Talking about the USA, I also participated in the Greencard Lottery -maybe one day I'll actually get to move overseas! Hoping for the best; I'll get the results in May!

Then one of my best friends got married and even though I cried my eyes out I couldn't have been happier for her. I just hope one day I'll get to be the bride and not the bridesmaid :)

No matter how sucky I felt at times I always had my friends. This year has tought me a lot about friendship. I don't wanna seem like a walking cliché so I won't go into too much details. I just want all of you to be jealous of me for having the best friends in the whole world!

I think I did hit the bottom this year despite all the good things, but what's life without challenges? So bring it on, 2011, I'm ready! There's no way in h*ll it'll turn out worse than 2010. Just keep smiling, people :))

I've been thinking about starting a blog for sooooo long and here I am - finally setting things in motion. It only took me, like, what? A year? After deciding I was going to do this, I wondered what I should write about. Some people write blogs about fitness, some about food (Julie&Julia is a great movie, by the way) and some about something completely random and I should be included in the latter category. If you decide to follow me, you will see that I write about what I want, when I want and how I want. I'll write about anything. Whatever, as the title says. FYI it took me like a million years to decide a name for this blog - I wanted the name to be catchy and witty and all that, but darn it! I've always had difficulties naming my stories and essays and now this... so 'Whatever' is what we all shall settle for ;)

This first post will be mostly about me, myself & I. I'm a 21-year-old wannabe-writer from a cold Northern European country called Finland. In some ways I'm a true Finnish girl; I love salty liquorice and I hate hot weather, but that's about it. I love traveling and I'm always hoping to spend most of my time abroad. No can do, though! This girl is a part-time worker and a student, so let's reevaluate the situation in a couple of years time. Maybe one day I'll end up categorizing myself as a "travel-blogger"!

I love to write and I guess that's obvious since I'm now officially writing a blog. Other than writing I love to read and watch movies and just hang around with my wonderful friends. I know I sound boring and that's probably what I am, but oh well :) I'm just your average girl in the pursuit of happiness. 

English is not my first language so before I start posting more I'd like to apologize for the grammatical mistakes I'm sure will take place at some point... maybe even in that sentence (is it grammatical or just grammar?)

Nothing more for now... Let's see if this blogging thing is as fun as it seems!

All the love<3
