Time Flies

We've all heard that expression before and I feel like the older I get, the more true it seems!
I have 22 more days until I'm headed for a longed for vacation, I cannot wait for the days to pass but I'm also starting to feel just a bit stressed out. So much to do, so little time.

I will be gone from my apartment for about two and a half months, that means I also need to pack everything I will want to have and wear during that time, but how does one pack for that long?!

There are two things that I can say I honestly despise; packing and moving, yes they do fall under the same category however they are still two separate things. Either way, they are by far the most stressful and overwhelming things I do, and since I love to travel I have to do it rather frequently. I never plan an outfit, I wear what I feel like wearing and that's that, so for me to have to really think through what I will be wanting to wear in a week or two from now is an IMPOSSIBLE task! I am that person who will pack the day before or, if possible, the very same day as takeoff, I know everything is clean and I also know that I don't need to wait to pack something because I might need it or want to use it, this way I know exactly what's in my bag and I also won't have to walk around in old T-shirts for days prior to my trip just to make sure I'm not getting things dirty that I will want to bring on my trip.

For this long I will have to write lists over exactly what to bring, which pair of earrings, which sweaters, t-shirts, you name it..,

When I moved overseas I brought with me five suitcases, three of them huge and two carryons- all of them equipped with wheels, thank goodness!

Anyone else have and issue with packing?

Have a great day!

TED Talks

Came across this video from Ted talks, love their different clips btw. How inspiring is this guy?!! Take an idea and make it happen, maybe all of us need to realize that making a change doesn't have to be harder than you make it!

Intro

Hey hey!

I have for a while now felt like I want to get back into blogging. I moved, started school and started to create a new life just a couple of months ago and figured what better time to start than now?! But you know, like with all decisions I just wanted to allow the idea to grow a bit before actually doing something about it. I wanted to have a structure, what do I write about, what do I want to focus on and most importantly... The name.. What do I name my blog?

Well tada, The Foodie Scholar is my name, I'm a student at the university and I love food.. What better name? Anyhow, this blog will be about the basics of my life, school, food and cooking, and traveling.

Welcome and Happy Sunday :)
