This past week, Kristyna turned 21! (Although her actual Birthday was mostly spent doing work for our spreadsheet class...) We did find the time to go bowling and get cocktails with friends in the evening – which felt like a vacation! And, the day after, Kristyna actually went on a trip to Malaga with her mom and got to enjoy some sunny days by the beach. Other than that, we spent our days chasing deadlines after deadline, as all the final projects suddenly had to be finished. It was a stressful week to say the least.

For this weeks main topic, we decided to take a look back and compare our high school experiences to our current university years. Lauren talks about the intense academic pressure that she was under during high school and how her relationship to grades has improved drastically. Thankfully! We also talk about how much more freedom we have now and how we can spend this time exploring different projects and finding our interests. We definitely realized that there were some significant differences in between our lives then and now. And a lot of that certainly also has to do with personal growth.

Our traditional bookclub once again wasn't really a bookclub, since we didn't read much. (We blame university – this is not on us...) Instead we planned out our summer and dreamt about reading by the lake and going to outdoor car cinemas. We have a high hopes for the upcoming months! And, of course, we shared our songs of the weeks and played an interesting(?) game connected last week's songs competition on Instagram.

Thanks for joining us on this episode – we hope you enjoy it!

With love,
