Review: Normal People by Sally Rooney
“I’m not a religious person but I do sometimes think God made you for me” Normal People was beautiful and heartbreaking. Sally Rooney has an incredible way with words that makes you feel like you’re having a conversation with the characters. She writes in a raw, passionate way about the awkward moments in life that we all experience but are too scared and embarrassed to talk about.

The Day I Learned Fluent Spanish
I moved to Barcelona in 2006, after an entire year of studying Spanish. I had taken my studies very seriously. For the last couple of months, I’d been listening to music, watching movies in Spanish with subtitles, reading magazines and books in my target language. I was also chatting with my to-be Spanish boyfriend on MSN Messenger (like an old-school Whatsapp but on your computer, for all you youngsters out there), ever since I’d met him on vacation.
