A Little About Me - Andreia Kristensen

"If you are not making mistakes, then you are not making decisions," - Catherine Cook.

I guess if I am going to share my life to the world, I might as well start as I always like to start an essay, with a quote. There is nothing like a good old thought provoking quote to get the brain stimulating. For a long time, I have been considering creating a blog. With all honesty, mostly for myself. As a tool to reflect on my person and how I am progressing towards my objectives. In such a fast changing world, it is easy to lose track, to waste time with things that you believe are the problem, and most importantly it is too easy to fall into comfortableness. 

So who am I? Well, if you do a quick search on my Facebook you will quickly get the impression that I am just another pretty face enjoying life. You will see me posing, you will see me drinking, and doing absolutely nothing. And I am like for that, because for me Facebook is where I express my social life, my time off! That's my way of keeping track that I am living life, that I am enjoying all of the wonderful things the world has to offer, that I am creating memories with amazing people. For me, balance is the key to a happy life. Throughout my life and my education mainly, I have never expected of myself to be perfect, because for me perfection seems too orchestrated. I don't want to reach the top, I don't want to be the best, I want to make mistakes, I want to learn for pleasure, I want to miss deadlines because it means I am living life! At the end of the day, you have to remember that you only live once. 

This does not mean I am a rebel. Much in the contrary, it highlights my dedication to this lifestyle. I rather kill myself trying trying to fit all the things I want to do into my schedule, rather than trying to get to the top. This is reflected in my life objectives. I was one of those kids that had no idea of what I wanted to do with my life, all I knew was that I wanted to stay away from the business world. And I am glad to confirm that all these years later it has remained true. Then, I also knew that I wanted to help. That I wanted a job that would allow me to get my beauty sleep every night because I would know that no matter how hard my day might of have been, I am fighting for a cause! Be it an animal, an individual, or a country! By this, I was able to shortened by quite a lot my possibilities, further my inability to see blood and do math, I chose to study Law. At the moment, I am completing my Masters in International Studies.

I have just realized that this has not been so much an introduction about me, but more a reminder to myself to stay strong and motivated as I enter exam season and begin to feel socially deprived! More interestingly, I will let you, the world, get to know me slowly by following my posts!
